I love your quilt and went right away to watch the video. Now I have a question. If I understood correctly, you made two blocks then stack them and cut them diagonally, then sew them each together along the diagonal cut.
Why wouldn't you want to stack the two blocks and draw a line across the diagonal and then stitch a quarter inch from the line on each side and THEN cut them apart? That would save you from having to deal with sewing those bias edges, wouldn't it?

Makes me so thankful to know my husband knows I would "freeze" if he asked me to do a quilt and then in that short of turn around time. Awesome Speed, Quality, and Finished Quilt.

I believe it makes it easier to match the seams when you cut them in half first, but I only did it the way they showed. It's not that bad dealing with the bias, the pattern is so quick that the little extra time dealing with the bias is hardly noticeable.
