Default Is there an easier way to put cornerstones in the border?

I struggle a little when I decide to put cornerstones in my border. I have a difficult time getting the cornerstone seams exact. Maybe someone out there has an easier method.

1. First I sew the border on two opposite sides and trim the ends to make sure they are super smooth and straight.
2. I measure border seam to border seam for the 3rd side and add 1/2" for the seams.
3. I sew one cornerstone to the end of the border piece, sew the other end on as well and sew the border to the 3rd side.
4. I do the same thing as steps 2-3 for the 4th side.

Somehow, I have problems with that last cornerstone not lining up perfectly with the side border seam.

Any suggestions?
