Patrice, I’ve been reading about triangles and how to figure the size when cutting. It sounds a bit confusing so I’ve decided to make a square, cut it in half on the diagonal, sew it together and measure to figure how big the size of squares for the piece (quarter inch seam already included). A bit unorthodox and backward but I don’t see why it can’t work; and I suppose figuring quarter triangles could be done the same way. I might be figuring all wrong, but if it works, cool. Now watch me get some weird 2 - 3/16th-inch square to work with!
The quilt actually looks nice and I think I’m just going to take a couple of blind stitches on each corner to close them up. Have decided to subtly embroider my initials and the year in the corner with a daisy stitch (I think that’s what it’s called) with a dark thread. I’ll wash and dry it then take pictures for you all. My mind is already at work on the second quilt. Yay!
