No secret, but here is the way I attach all my sashings and cornerstones. the first photo shows how patterns and directions usually tell us to attach the sashing and corner stones, but photo 2 shows how I do it. I saw it on the internet long ago and used this technique since. It shows 4 blocks being made and you will notice that the last blocks has the inside and outside sashing and corner stone. Next the 4 blocks are sewn together in a row.

The second row and all remaining rows has the sashing and corner stones added to the bottom of the block and the sides and those blocks sewn together in a row. When all the rows are made, then just sew the rows together. I always put my quilt on graft paper and hang that on my design wall to keep checking it as I sew, but it really is very easy and fast and accurate as well. Hope you try it for yourself.
