I had to look carefully to "see" the block. Great job with the fussy cutting.Originally Posted by Linda71
I made this quilt for my granddaughter. It was easy and fun to make. I used a template and my rotary cutter to cut the shapes. Then I used the shapes as a pattern to cut more. I did it this way to save material. It was directional and I wanted to make the quilt as big as I could. The fabric is called "Totes on bolts" and it had three different patterns on the same piece of material. The diagonal border was made by joining little leftover pieces.

Thanks Bearisgray for the instructions. I have sewn items with this method before and it really is very simple after you do it the first time and there isn't any need for Y seams.

Thanks, Bear. Nice use of graph paper to show us how to do this. Those outside pieces look like triangles, but they are "truncated" triangles. That's what gives them four sides. (truncate: to shorten by cutting off the end or top)

bearisgray, this is another affirmation. I know how difficult it is to write clear directions, and yours were excellent. Thank you!
