The election is over…no more political adds for a while. Whew!
This is the last block in this quilt. Next week, we start the setting pieces so that we can have the top done by the end of the month.
This block finishes at 12″ when set in a quilt. It is made up of mostly 2″ squares.
When I assembled this block, it took about 40 minutes to trim the triangle blocks. This is not my favorite task, but I powered through by taking short breaks between block stacks.
I like that this block looks complicated, but it really is not.
My hints are:
- Pin when you feel like you need to…
- Consult the pattern for correct placement…frequently…
- Press diagonal seams to the dark, and
- Press most straight seams open to reduce bulk at corners.

I hope you are enjoying this build a block series. If you have any questions about cutting pieces at a different size for a different piecing technique, I would be glad to help you! Contact me through e-mail at werquilters@gmail.com.
Later,
