The owner of my local quilt shop took some time with me yesterday concerning this pattern (My corner Garden). She confirmed my plan to strip piece the blocks and sew them in strips diagonally. We also discussed a plan to handle the edges and corners. I asked her why the designer would create a pattern that has so many tiny half triangles and squares. She said some quilter's are intimidated by blocks on point and rather do the work of expanding a center nine patch to make it a large block that could be combined with the other like blocks for vertical or horizontal strips. For me, I will strip piece in order to avoid handling hundreds of small pieces separately. She also helped me select fabric, so I am ready to go. The only part of quilting I dread is cutting, so I get over that hump first, By the way, the quilt designer has never answered my emails about the pattern. Oh well, I will avoid patterns from that designer in the future.
