One thing to pay attention to is pressing the seams. Depending on which is light and dark, I press the cornerstone seams toward eachother and the corresponding sashing seams toward the blocks. That way they nest into eachother and become much easier to pin and sew. If the block is the lighter color, then I press the sashing toward eachother and the cornerstone the other direction.
That is the way I usually do them too. But you can use D9P and rotate the blocks so they are sashed with cornerstones.
