Now it's time to set in the triangles. A square is cut at 33 3/4 inches and cut in four. There are four triangles and four squares.
Here you see the tri layed to show how it goes in. Now the the tri is turned on it's side to the star and that seam will be sewed from the point to center where the 1/4 inch set in is. Then the star is folded down and the other side sewed in. This is called a y seam or just a set in seam.
I will measure the seam going in and will make sure the same seam lenght is applied to the second seam as the tris are oversized and will need to be cut to square the quilt. The star will appear to float within its background and this is achieved by the oversize tris and squares, where the points will stop at the background but stay within with extra.
