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

Good luck!

You attach half the strips to the big squares and the 2.5" cornerstones to rest of
your strips then you add the two together like a four patch. Makes sense?

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)

MANY Thanks to those that helped me defrost my brain freeze!

bearisgray your visual is most helpful to me as I AM such a visual, pattern dependent person, your drawing and measurements are going to help me immensely a special thanks to you!

One of the reasons that this board is so FANTASTIC so many wonderful quilters so willing to spend time helping others. <3

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).

The cornerstones are a nice addition to Falling Charms. Thank you for posting the picture.

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

If one uses the same size squares in a disappearing 9-patch, the proportions are slightly different, but the effect is the same.
