one I try making like that.
Oh don't give up on 'set on point.' They are no harder than straight set once you get the hang of it. I have a no math ruler by Fons and Porter that I love for making the side and corner triangles. I usually sketch mine out on paper first, which makes it much easier to lay out the blocks on my design wall. Then I add the triangles to the wall. Then I just start with the first diagonal row at the top left corner and end with the bottom right corner. I add the tringles to the rows as I sew each row together. Once a row is sewn it goes back up on the wall in its original spot, then I start the next row. Easy peasy cause it stays organized. I'm sure others do it differently but this is the method that works best for me. Don't give up...
SewBizGirl...Gorgeous quilt here. At first I didn't recognize that it was an animal print. Reminds me of a tropical paradise, and yes, you found the perfect binding. Generous of you to donate it, but if it were mine that's one I couldn't part with. I wonder if that fabric is still available... What size is your quilt and how much would it take? I'd be tempted to make something similar. I just love it! (I'm going to go check out the links that were posted here.)
