As you get to the edge just drop that color. It sounds hard but is very easy.
The pink squares are a diagonal row too. You are right about the easy too!

What a nice name for that pattern!
Actually it has many names...
and
today we make it as a "tube" quilt, sewing strips together into a large tube, then cutting across the strips, and taking out one seam to make the stairstep strip. and sewing it to the next strip, and so on until you get all the vertical rows sewed together.
For a large quilt, just make sections and sew them together.
This does take a little planning.
Is that what you did? Lovely! ...and kind!
