# 08b | Sashing without Cornerstones ## Module 08b | Sashing without Cornerstones Building off of sub-module 08a, we'll learn how to remove the cornerstones from our sashing in this sub-module. The result will be individual pieces of vertical sashing between blocks and one long piece of horizontal sashing between rows of blocks. *** ## YouTube Video {% embed url="" %} Module 08b: How to Add Sashing without Cornerstones {% endembed %} *** ## Help Guide ### One Long Horizontal Sashing Piece (No Cornerstones) To remove the cornerstones from your sashing to make one long piece of sashing: 1. On the quilt grid, highlight an entire row of blocks by **clicking on the number to the left of the row**. In this example, I've selected column **2**.
2. Click on the **Merge button** (![](https://2632437258-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZIxhpDEaPtVb8DXlSENh%2Fuploads%2FpelfaLIUpSL8cYZ0lLr0%2FScreen%20Shot%202024-05-31%20at%202.10.15%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=f1e90482-84e2-486f-8f4c-09c16c1ba3a7)) on the central, vertical toolbar.
3. You will see now one long empty block cell that would be our horizontal sashing.
4. Click on the **Add to Quilt button** for the **Fabric Link A** One Patch Block.
5. You will now see that Fabric Link A is now our horizontal sashing for row 2.
### Copying & Pasting Sashing Again, there's no need to repeat all those steps over and over. Copy and paste instead! 1. Click on the **single long piece of horizontal sashing** in row 2 to select it.
2. You can either use the **Copy/Paste button** ()(like in Module 08a) from the central vertical toolbar - **OR** - you can **right click** on the block and select **Copy**.
3. Click on the **first sashing block cell in row 4**.
4. **Right click** on the block and select **Paste**.
5. Repeat **steps 3-4** for rows 6, 8 and 10. 6. You will now see all horizontal sashing are long strips and there are no more cornerstones.
