How it is calculated
Sashing strips are cut as long as the unfinished block and 1/2" wider than the finished sashing. You need one strip between every pair of neighbouring blocks.
Cornerstones are small squares where the sashing strips cross. There is one for every inside corner: one fewer than the blocks across, times one fewer than the blocks down.
Questions
How wide should sashing be?
Between one sixth and one quarter of the block size is a common range: 2" to 3" for a 12" block.
