Would You Help Me With The Math, Please
I have finally found the pattern that I want to make for our niece using 5" charms based on Jenny Doan's tutorial "Falling Charms". On Pinterest there is a quilt made based on her pattern with (I think 2.5" cornerstones) ? I guess I'm having a math blocking day.

I would use Jenny's 5" charms, 2.5" strips but I'm not certain how to go about making the block with the cornerstone accent? Would I make each block individually or how could I strip piece with a corner stone? What would the measurements be?

Looks like you would sew the 2 1/2 inch strip to one side of the printed fabric block and then sew a 2 1/2 inch square to a second 2 1/2 inch strip to equal the measurement of the print fabric block + the added 2 1/2 inch strip. Here are two videos maybe that will help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_6AEKTi6r0
And here is the other....

How I would assemble the unit:
One could strip piece the C and D units, but if using 5 inch charm squares, as far as I can tell, A and B have to be individually sewn.
D would be cut 2.5 (2-1/2) inches wide and C would be cut 5 inches wide, and then the sewn strips would be sub-cut into 2.5 inch b 7 inch pieces.
The ABCD unfinished unit should measure 7 x 7 inches and then "finish" at 6.5 x 6.5 inches
(This is assuming the use of 5 inch squares and 2.5 inch wide strips)

I made one similar to this. What I did was attach b to A. I made a whole long strip of 5" C fabric and a whole long 2 1/2" strip of D fabric. The sewed the D strip and C strip together and cut in 2 1/2" strips. That way, I didn't have to deal with that little 2 1/2 inch block. (Sorry, I did not take photos).

This could easily be done by doing a disappearing nine patch. Your charms in the corners of the 9 patch. The solid on the sides of the 9 patch, and the cornerstone would be in the center of the 9 patch. Then you can arrange them in the falling charms order. Ann
