I like using "cornerstones" as it helps me get my blocks straight, but it also breaks up the solid color look of the sashing, which in the case of scrappy--I wasn't sure about doing...but decided to anyway, by using various 1.5" squares.

These are two I'm very pleased with. I have another one I finished recently but it is decidedly "not as good" in that the design (the colors) aren't as defined. Thus, the quilt ends up being kind of a mish-mash and not as pleasing to the eyes. Live and learn. From now on I'll do my scrappies with a bold or very light or bright sashing.
Great job, thanks for taking the time to share them. I am new to quilting and love to "see" your reasons...the bold or very light/bright sashing makes sense. Thank you again.
