I’m working on a quilt that I’m designing kind of “as I go”… I finished a square of about 43’’ but I want a bigger quilt. So I decided to use it diagonally, and now I have to fill the four resulting corner triangles. I’ve searched the web for ideas and found pictures of the block “New York Beauty” that I think would fit into the corners:
Now my question/problem: All the explanations I found about how to do NYB are talking about PP, however, I’m hand piecing so that’s not really an option. I am thinking of doing it in the following order:
- sew 1 & 2 together
- sew 3 & 4 together
- sew both pieces together
- add 5
Is this the right way to do it? Or is there a better way?
