I did not know they were called cornerstones. I just learned something new.

Beautiful quilt!!! I love the colors...

It is beautiful. Nice job. Is it a D9P on point? :thumbup:

Yes it is. I still haven't quilted it. I've been busy every weekend and that is my only quilting time. Hopefully soon because I really like that one!

You can also use small blocks as your corner stones such as stars, 9p's, etc. Anything that is square & the same size as your sashing & borders.

Gotta love a quilters lingo & shorthand............cornerstones, dogears, FQ, PP, FMQ, etc. here is a site that may give meaning to some of them for you!

What a lovely twist to the D9P ... very effective!
