Thank you so much for this. i will use your method in the future. i always use cornerstones as I cannot stand the misalignment otherwise

DITTO DITTO DITTO!!! Except I didn't read this tutorial before I did a no-cornerstone thing and had little lineup issue.

Thank you for the great tip!!! :) :) :)

Sounds like a great tip. I'll be trying it tonight or tomorrow for my Grandson's Christmas Quilt.

Question - what's a cornerstone?

Just started quilting in January, so some terms are very new to me.

Great tips and perfect timing! I have been trying to decide what to do with some fabric that I did not want to cut up smaller than 5 inch squares. I am going to try doing the corner stone sashing.

Great idea! Will try this asap......Is there anyone out there that can put a few together and upload a photo for us?
