an easy way to get blocks to line up is to use a "cornerstone" block where each meets. no measuring, just line up
the seams. Prism99 explained the other way really well. if you don't watch what you are doing, your vertical rows
will not match up & you have a lot of ripping to do !

She does call it sashing the easy way and it may be where you saw it.
