I’m with Elaine on the suggestion of row by row. I am doing a king quilt that I had to enlarge on graph paper as the original pattern in the book was not large enough. I had to add extra star points to fill the new size and it is critical to keep the dark blue star points in correct placement. I have been constructing the quilt row by row…yes a photo is a must. Good luck.

Do the same for each column. When you're done, the whole quilt will be webbed together. Then sew row A to row B, etc., nesting seams, still without cutting any connections. Hope this makes sense!
That is a pretty cool idea! I may have to try it sometime soon!
