When I look at blocks like Jacob's ladder, it seems to me the diagonal corner is a 4-patch that looks like the other 3 corners. Can you explain to me what you mean by "unmatching diagonal corners" ? Sorry to be so dense. You always have such good explanations and I appreciate the time to spend trying to make quilting clearer.
