Sashing help
I need some help. A while ago I found some info about easy sashing. The sashing was put on one side of a block and on the bottom making sort of a new block and then those blocks were sewn together. It eliminated the need to sew long rows of sashing onto a row of blocks. I've googled all sorts of sashing and lattice info but it isn't what I am looking for. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks everyone.

You have basically described the technique. What specific questions do you have?
Here's a brief overview:

I didn't find it that easy. I saw it demonstrated on an F&P TV show. When I did it, I found that my blocks seams did not line up as precisely as when you just do the sashing. I like my seams to meet in opposite direction and it just doesn't work right. When attaching sashing with cornerstones, you can control that the direction is the opposite to the blocks. But when that is stitched on the block, the seams will be going in the same direction on just one side.

Okay, sounds crazy, but I sew mine together like a nine patch and then cut like a D9P. To do this, 1 determine width of sashing, multipy by 2, + 1" for seams. Then cut to length of block side. Use contrasting square in center of this ...it will become the corner stones. After sewing all together, I cut same as I do when making a D9P. You do have to be careful if your block hss a definate top and bottom or left to rt orientation and place in the nine patch accordingly. I get near perfect sashing and cornerstones every time.
