Cornerstone tute
 

I'm talking (via e-mail) my friend through doing cornerstones. She needs pictures. Here's my way. I sew 2.5x12.5 strips onto top & bottom of my 12.5 inch blocks. Then I cut a 12.5 inch width of fabric (sashing)add my 2.5 inch cornerstone fabric(WOF) strip top & bottom. Then sub cut this into 2.5 inch strips. I now have my sashing with cornerstones already attached. She needs a visual. Thought I saw it here but my search hasn't helped.

I believe that F&P taught that technique. I always keep my sashing separate for the block so it is easier to nest the seams. I would just sew the sashing and the cornerstone into a strip and then attach it to a row of blocks. Good Luck.

I have this link bookmarked for reference. Hope it helps.

Would this help?

That looks good, but I would add only one of the cornerstone colors to the sashing piece.

You sew a sashing strip to the block on one side, then add a sashing strip with corner stone attached to a second side, with the cornerstone touching both sashing strips. All blocks are sashed and cornerstoned like this, and then they are all sewn together in rows. Now two sides of your quilt will have no sashing or cornerstones. You could add them on each block that needs them as you do your rows or add them in one long row at the end.

Sorry about the double post. I thought I was editing.

i have a pdf on the sashing/cornerstone subject, it is directions on a quilt made this way, i had offered it awhile ago, if you're interested, let me know. you would have to pm me with an email address -- there is no other way to send it...

I wish I had seen this before I made my first sashed quilt. I did it the hard way with long strings of slashing and cornerstones. This would be so much easier. Thank you.

Thank you Ranger & Jan. Both are helpful & seems like a good way to put on sashing & cornerstones. Seems like I have seen this before years ago but don't remember where. So it was nice to get this info
