CORNER SETTING TRIANGLES:
1. Measure your block along one side, add 2" to this measurement and cut 2 squares.
2. Cut these squares on ONE DIAGONAL. The short sides will be on the straight grain and will be set along the corners of your quilt top.
No math. No lost block points. A little "float" allowed. A stable, wonderful setting!

Jan, I've been quilting many years but have only been on QB for a couple months. I have really enjoyed reading your posts, and have even learned some new things from you. Just wanted to say thanks for the wonderful things you share. Even us old dogs can learn a new trick or two.
