I am almost ready to put the sashing on my quilt squares and I would like to put a QTS in the corner between them. Any hints for me? I haven't done this before and understand that they can stretch if used with the bias on the outside . These will be about 3" squares when finished. They will be cotton but the sashing is a satin type. Am new to the board and am sure enjoying it.

Welcome.

Here are 2 different methods of making QST's:

I prefer the 2nd method as you never have to deal with exposed bias edges.

I also always like to make these bigger and then trim them down to the exact size. I would start with 4.75" or larger squares.

(The actual calculation is finished size plus 1.25" - so anything over 4.25" would have some fudge factor in it. I personally like a lot of fudge factor. ;-) )

This way you're guaranteed of being able to cut them down to 3.5" unfinished after you make the QST.

Don't forget to post pictures when you're done.

thank you, That is exactly what I was looking for.
