I Need A Diamond In A Square Pattern That Doesn't Lose Points
There are so many ways to make a diamond in a square and I know the
easiest one is to put two squares right side to right side and sew and cut one diagonally. I'm not comfortable with this method for where these blocks are going to be placed. They are going to "stick out" or float, by themselves on borders and I don't want to cut the points off. Help please? |
You could paper-piece. Or you could use this method but it requires the
Bloc Loc Flying Geese ruler. The instructions for the square in square starts at 3:01 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7f2qCqIPBc |
paper piecing! I can do that!!!!
thank you, Easy Peasy! :thumbup: |
after watching the Bloc-Loc video, I think you have gone from being a
helper to "an Enabler". I want this ruler! :p |

I am sold on Deb Tucker's products. From your description I think you want the Square Squared tool, but you may want the Diamond Recs tool instead. I have used both with perfect results.

I cringe whenever I see that method used.
I mentioned it before someone else did. |

There is a book by Jodi Barrows. Do you have that? I ended up with two copies. Is it something you can use? It is square in a square, not diamonds.

A friend saw this thread and messaged me and told me her method of square in
a square. She actually had a thread of her own on here, demonstrating the technique. Marcia, it is kind of you to tell me about the book. The prices at the post office make me hesitate to mail anything like that anymore. I'm sure you will be able to gift it more easily to someone near where you live, but thank you so much. |
