I think that is the name, it is mentioned in conjunction with keeping blocks straight, I think. You you tell me what they are and where I can find how to do the technique? Thank you much,
Nancy

check this out it shows it very well http://www.sewinspiredblog.com/2010/...rnerstone.html

Cornerstones are the squares used at the intersections of sashing between the blocks. In my pic below, it would be the green squares between the white sashing.

dup...sorry

They are also used in the corners of borders.

Thanks, I never knew that is what they were called.

Thanks for this link...while I know about cornerstones, this really did show it perfectly!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

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

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

Thanks for the link.

Good morning,
Thank you for the information and the link. I am going to go check it out right now!!

That is an excellent tutorial on add cornerstones and sashing.

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

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!
