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

    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.
