Hi judy,
This is the way I make them too. It is much easier than the long seams that have to match up. But pressing the long seams with opposing pressed seams helps align them too. I do it the other way if I have to.
All that being said, What a nice easter gift to learn a new easier way to set those borders. I wish I had a neighbor that quilts. Lucky you!

Great explanation and appreciate the pictures. I am making a note of this post so I come back and reference in a few days when I start to sash a fairly difficult quilt in the next couple of days. Thanks!!!

Thanks for explaining that paintmejudy... I could have used that a few weeks ago when I was putting sashings on a quilt.

This looks like I could do it, thanks so much!

Have always done my sashing/cornerstones this way, too.

Thanks for posting the technique! I adore your quilt.

I am pretty frazzled right now. Working on a sunbonnet sue lap quilt for my mom for Christmas. My brain cannot figure out HOW you are to sew these together. EX.-After you sew the bottom sash with cornerstone on how do you sew the next piece going up the right side of the square???? My mom has stage 4 cancer, was given 6 months to live 6 months ago. She has always wanted a sunbonnet sue and sam quilt. I have 5 brothers and 2 sisters and have incorporated this into the quilt. I am sorry, my mind is all over the place. The stress to get this done by Christmas is tremendous. I have never done sashing much less sashing with cornerstones. Ran into a lot of different issues with this quilt, one of them being barely having enough of some of the material. I do not want to trim off something I can't fix. I am frantic and cannot focus. Please don't tell me to walk away and come back later with a clear head. I have done that repeatedly over the past week and still come up stumped within a few minutes of returning to the quilt. HELP ME PLEASE!
