Default Any tips for adding sashing and cornerstones?

Hi Everyone,

Quick couple of questions-- I've decided at the 11th hour to add sashing and cornerstones to my pinwheels. I think I'm going to add them to each individual block, rather than sew them on in strips, so that I can get nice, crisp corners.

Originally, I had planned for just plain 2 inch sashing (1.5 finished, no cornerstones). My pinwheel blocks are 5 inch squares. What proportion would you use for the sashing & cornerstones? I feel like a finished size of 1.5 inches will be too small. What do you think??

Secondly, do you have any tips about constructing the sashing and cornerstones so that everything goes together very accurately? I almost tossed out the idea of adding cornerstones because I am worried that the cornerstones will be ever so slightly off, which would bug me!

Thanks so much!!
Ally
