Thank you.

That SO makes sense, thanks for the tip! I've only done sashing once, and on an on-point quilt...I have to admit it took a lot of thought to make it work, the old brain isn't as sharp as it used to be, but I also used the block method rather than a separate strip between blocks (by accident, not design, but I'm sticking to it).

This method looks great. Thanks for posting

Thanks so much - I will try this as I have had alot of problems lining up the corner stones just right in the past.

I will do that on my crazy quilt. I have done it in the past and it is so much easier. I forgot all about it.

I am wondering .... does this make squaring and blocking the quilt easier or more difficult? I've done it both ways but I've had problems squaring the quilt with this method. Maybe I'm missing something? thanks ....

Thanks for this tip. I've printed it so that I'll have it handy next time.

Love this idea and it will make it much easier. Thank you so much for this information. Also love the idea that "catmcclure" had to say.

"That's how I do my cornerstones and sashing. I also strip piece them. That is, if my blocks are 12-1/2" and my sashing and cornerstones at 4-1/2", then I'll cut a strip of the sashing fabric 12-1/2" x WOF. I also cut a strip of the cornerstone material 4-1/2" x WOF. Sew those two strips together into a strip set and then subcut into 4-1/2" strips. The beauty of this is that the sashing strips are cut lengthwise of the grain and, once you sew them onto the block, your sashing strips have almost no stretch and all your blocks fit together so much easier."

Thanks, I will do mine this way now.
