I don't know how to put plaid cornerstones on the bias...I learned to hand piece and quilt from my nanny (grandma) when I was a little girl...fast forward 35+ years...I was going through things I had inherited, came across some quilt tops, and squares, etc...there were some Sunbonnet Sue squares, made with fabrics that my nanny had made clothes out of for my mom, and me...so, I looked at the squares, drew off the templates, and made more squares to have enough for a lap quilt for my mom, and 1 for me...then, I bought some quilt magazines, and taught myself how to applique, piece, etc...still by hand...so, this is my 1st applique quilt I have done by machine...and I am also self-taught on the sashings, borders, and bindings...with the help of some books and magazines...so, that is why I don't know how to do cornerstones on the bias...but, I will try and look it up, and keep it in mind for future quilts...thanks for the help!! :-)
