Anyway, I put the sashing strips on the right and left sides of the blocks and then put a single strip of fabric/sashing between the sets of blocks (very easy since I didn't have to match seams). But - since I'm redoing the sashing - and since I plan to SITD around the blocks - would you use a cornerstone, even though it would be the same as the fabric being used for the sashing?

I'm thinking that - even though it's more work - it will look more balanced and provide a seam in which I can SITD to move from block to block.

I don't think it looks BAD the way it is, but I'd certainly not stitch across the strip of sashing it to get to the next block. And I do want it to be as nice as it can be since it's for DS' girlfriend's 21st birthday

Appreciate your thoughts,
