Is it too late to add cornerstones?
#1
I'm a total beginner and did everything going by a book.
I added sashing, and now I realize I was supposed to add cornerstone to the sashing before attaching to block. Duh!
So the whole top is pieced with sashing and no cornerblocks. I'll attach a pic so you can see.
Can I still add cornerstones or would that be too bulky?

to stitch them in, you'd have to take everything apart, but you could applique cornerstones in on top of what you've already done...do something fun if you want - set them on point, or just put them in wonky to add some fun to the quilt. You could also applique completely different shapes.
Beautiful job, by the way. and remember that you don't have to always do it just as the book says. As you quilt more you'll see things that you like better (or less) than what the book calls for and it's OK to make those changes. for example, if you like the look you have here - leave the setting stones out.

I think it is just beautiful. There is no "right" way really. If I do something "wrong" I figure I might change it next time but for this quilt that was the way I WANTED it to look. I have one in there on the bed now halfway put together, it's a little crooked, for a 6 year old who isn't going to see past the bright Care Bears on the fabric anyway so I'm proceeding, crooked and all. It's all a learning experience. Next time I will measure more carefully. You did a great job, it's just beautiful.
