this is the finished child's quilt top at 40" x 54"

I almost always use cornerstones - sometimes with the same fabric. I think that giving a seam to match to makes eerything come out more even.

That sure makes it easy. Thanks for sharing

Thank you! I'm going to start adding cornerstone this way from now on!

PaintmeJudy,
Now I can see...it looks so huge on my Kindle Fire little screen that it didn't look like a block to me. The lower portion was not visible at all, until I did a scroll just now. Thanks for being patient with me.
Yes, a good way to do cornerstones, I agree!

Great way to make those blocks...Thanks..

Thanks, I needed this.

I just did my first one, as I was a little intimidated by the work, but it wasn't that hard. This is just the top I finished yesterday for my youngest GD.

Love it, so how are you quilting it? I am still wondering about how to do mine.

This is absolutely brilliant. The sashing just becomes an element of each block. I love the look of corner stones but hate working with that long narrow strip with the squares in between. Thanks so much.
