It looks to me like you are sewing two flights of stairs together. Are you doing it by hand? Or by machine? Please explain. I'm very interested in trying one of these.

Hi Doug! Thank you for watching and for the compliments. First of all, that is not a stupid question, not at all. I am going to do a tutorial on how to do the wedges. I took pictures of the wedge and how I did it yesterday while I finished the last wedge.
I did it all by machine.

I am going to make a pattern for this quilt. On the pattern, I will try to explain how to do the quilt in "the sections" so you don't have to try to add in the wedges later. It would be a whole lot simpler.

But, if you are wanting to make strips and just lay them out and make up your own pattern as you go along like I did, then you will need to know how to figure out the wedge and sew it in. So, I will do a tutorial as soon as possible. Probably within a week. Sorry to keep you waiting but I have a few things I have to do first for my Mom.
