Wow you sure were quick in completing your quilt...lovely job... Can you share and hints for making this one? Did the bias give you any issues and and did you have twisted seam from matching seams? Would appreciate any hints you would care to share.

Your quilt turned out great. I am "afraid" of this quilt because of how in-exact the process looks in the MSQ video and how many seams and points there are.
So if I am understanding you, you cut your initial squares at 9.5 inches, then made the half square triangles and sewed together into a 4 patch which at that point it was 12 inches square so you were able to sub-cut into 3 pieces of 4 inches?
And then in the end when you squared up your final block from 10.25 to 10 inches, that doesn't cut off points or anything?
I finished this quilt and really enjoyed this process. I cut the squares from my stash and changed it to 9 1/2. This allowed me to subcut at exactly 4 inches instead of some difficult number for me to see on the ruler. The block finished at 10 1/4 but was a little wonky so I squared them up to 10 inches.
If you look close you will see I turned one of the blocks wrong. No way am I ripping that out as a non quilter would never notice or care.
