    Hi judy,
    This is the way I make them too. It is much easier than the long seams that have to match up. But pressing the long seams with opposing pressed seams helps align them too. I do it the other way if I have to.
    All that being said, What a nice easter gift to learn a new easier way to set those borders. I wish I had a neighbor that quilts. Lucky you!

    Great explanation and appreciate the pictures. I am making a note of this post so I come back and reference in a few days when I start to sash a fairly difficult quilt in the next couple of days. Thanks!!!
    Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!

    Thanks for explaining that paintmejudy... I could have used that a few weeks ago when I was putting sashings on a quilt.

    Have always done my sashing/cornerstones this way, too.

    Thanks for posting the technique! I adore your quilt.

    Life may not be the party you expected it to be, but while you're here you might as well dance!
