sashings and binding are different.
sashings should be cut the size of the block you are attaching them to. sides first. then press and remeasure to add sashing pieces to top and bottom of blocks.

I don't usually use 45 degree seams-depends on the design. Usually it seems like straight seams work better for me for sashing and borders. If I'm doing a scrappy binding I use a straight seam for that too.

If you are doing setting squares with the sashing you have to place them at the corner where the sashing meets. I adjust the sashing strip and make sure the setting square is right on. It is hard to notice the strip being a 'bit' different in size but the square being 'off' a little is very noticeable.
