Making the blocks is easy with the rectangles, but once you have it together, you have to square it up which leaves you with the entire outside as bias edges. I have made one each way, with rectangles and with 1/2 square triangles and liked the triangle method better. It was difficult to sandwich & quilt because of the whole outside being bias edges. Use plenty of starch, although I did and still had issues. It came out alright, but it was more of a hassle than the triangle one.

I like the method and would love to try it but I have two little dogs who love to sleep on anything I put on the floor, especially a quilt I am working on. Will save the method.

Wow this is a neat way to do it. I think this may require some spray starch. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the tutorial. I have got to quit adding things to must make list. I don't think I can live long enough to complete them all. I can dream though.
