The second row and all remaining rows has the sashing and corner stones added to the bottom of the block and the sides and those blocks sewn together in a row. When all the rows are made, then just sew the rows together. I always put my quilt on graft paper and hang that on my design wall to keep checking it as I sew, but it really is very easy and fast and accurate as well. Hope you try it for yourself.

Add sashing and cornerstones to the bottom of the first row, before adding the second row. Next the 4 blocks are sewn together in a row.
