Ditto. I find it easier to match seams this way.
After I have made my blocks and arranged them on the design wall, I add the sashing to one block at a time. This is how I figure the amount of sashing.

I prefer using cornerstones, myself.

I've done it both ways

For those who prefer using cornerstones- for ease of construction, for looks, or both?

I like adding cornerstones to my sashing...it makes it easier and adds flair

I add the short strips to the rows going across the quilt and add the long strips to the columns going down.

Adding borders, I do the sides first and then top and bottom!
peace :D

I think cornerstones can add interest to a quilt.
