If you're planning on giving it away, just do the ties in the easiest way. Sometimes when we do quilts fast like this, we decide that we really like them in the end and don't really want to give...

Thanks, Bear. Nice use of graph paper to show us how to do this. Those outside pieces look like triangles, but they are "truncated" triangles. That's what gives them four sides. (truncate: to shorten...

I have drawn lines on my ironing board cover. Some even come with a grid marking on them. Then it's easier to line up strips so that they are straight.
