It's really a cute quilt for a young lady.

Has Eddie done a tutorial of his quilt? Where is it located? If he has, how can we access it? I've been searching for it with no luck. Would he consider posting it again?

Hi Lucio, you need to go to this url: http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...22-t21995.html
Eddie explains how he does it.
Basically, he took a layer cake (10 inch squares) and cut each square into 4 equal strips (2 1/2" each) then cut each 2 1/2" by 10" strip in half but instead of a straight cut, it was a diagonal cut.
I have figured it out that one side of the cut strip is 6 1/4" and the other side is 4 3/4". Read through the posts that Eddie wrote. I'm thinking that some tape on a square up ruler marking the position plus using the 45 degree angle will be sufficient for cutting the strips. Practice on some scraps first.
