Oh yeah, there are several in the sweet town of Bedford, home of the D-Day Memorial. Some are restored Victorians on streets with other beautiful homes; some are "in the country" on the Virginia Scenic Byway going toward the Peaks of Otter. This is a great place to live and move and have your being! Y'all come on down!:D

Me too. Had not heard the term before and the picture helped. Interesting, now I will have to find a pattern to try it. Thanks again Jan.

This is what "float" looks like.
You can use the same idea when setting a quilt "on point" by cutting the setting triangles larger than needed and trimming a bit after the whole top is sewn together. Leave enough 'extra' to allow floating of the design.
