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 ! |
What a gorgeous quilt. Sounds like the easy way to do it.

that is a beautiful quilt

I do it the same way Peckish does. I just have a lot better luck getting the blocks to line up perfectly when I use Peckish's way.

This is an excellent tutorial:http://www.synthcom.com/~val/Quilts/...ngSashing.html
She does call it sashing the easy way and it may be where you saw it. |

I add a border to each block, then stitch the blocks together. The blocks all line up perfectly straight and even. This works especially well if I'm using a print. Here's my friend's quilt as an example: the dark red sashing fabric is really a border sewn around each individual block.

I use cornerstones - either contrasting or the same as the sashing. Perhaps not the easiest or fastest method, but the seams always line up neat and tidy.
