That would work too but would give a different appearance then what she laid out in her picture.

Yup, it would. But it would also leave the most "water" intact.

Uh Oh, maybe my directions weren't clear. I meant for her to reuse the "water" strips she already has on. She would just have to combine them to be one fat piece of sashing instead of the two narrower peices she currently has. does that make sense?

Yeah, totally! Like, she's not "wasting" any fabric per se, but trying to rework it to add the cornerstones. I'm just thinking that the "water" fabric is so pretty the way it is, surrounding the panels, it would be a shame to make the light blue choppy to add the cornerstones. But the cornerstones are fab, so they SHOULD be included. The way I'm thinking of doing it, she doesn't have to unsew anything, and the addition of the cornerstones becomes a happy accident to do the dark sashing, making the existing blocks (with water) stand-alone.
