I am adding a sashing with no cornerstones and am having difficulting lining them up. Is there a trick to get them straight without the cornerstone?

i sash my blocks one at a time for this very reason

When I do a solid sashing, I measure and mark the back side as to where it should line up. Eg. 2" to meet up with the sashing from other direction, 12" for the block size, 2" for next sashing, etc.

Do you add a corner stone? If not, how do you complete the little corner?

I'm going to try that. Thanks.

I sew the bottom sash to each block and join them into a long, vertical strip. Add the vertical sashing to one side of the strip. Take a ruler and lay it out to the edge .... Oh, here are a couple of pictures! Hope this makes it easier!

Apologize for untrimmed top block, but just to give you the idea!
