    What a great idea! Sounds so simple, yet I have never heard of, or thought of it... :thumbup:

    your blocks still need to be the same size before starting your shashing to make them come out even.

    Thanks for all the suggestions. The quilt is together to the best of my ability and I posted the top so everyone could see it. Check on page one.

    Your quilt came out great. I sometimes have trouble getting blocks to line up perfectly too. That's why I love using cornerstones. Makes it much easier and adds to the design too.
