Would you sew strips together,to make a longer strip by sewing as usual or at an angle? They'll be used in making quilt blocks & doubt either way would be noticeable.

Whichever would waste less fabric

I have done it both ways. The deciding factors are usually if I have enough fabric and how do I want the extra seam to lay in the block. If I am doing it for a border and I have enough fabric I do it on the diagonal.

I usually just sew end to end. Less waste that way.

I sew mine straight; others sew at an angle. Preference I think (smile).

For a border, I sew diaganol. In binding, sewing on the diaganol makes for less bulk when turning to sew on the other side.
|
Yep, diagonal.

you say they will be used "in making quilt blocks" Does this mean that some sections of the block will have a seam through it. This statement is puzzling.
