The sashing strips were cut at 2.5". The cornerstone blocks were made from 1.5" strips and finished at 2.5" to match the sashing. Have fun.

Thanks for the info on the sashing measurements. I'm on my way to get started.

Wow, this is beautiful. I just started a DHG, but hadn't thought of sashing & turning the blocks like this..but you have inspired me to change up the placement! And I really like the contrast of the black & white. Your quilt just pops!
