    We would love to see the finished product once you sew it.

    I like this method and the quadrant method. Am hoping to do one soon.

    I would sew it row by row from left to right, and then attach each row , making sure to iron each row in a different direction, example: the first row iron all seams to the right, next row iron all seams to the left and so on and so forth...it's a lot easier to dovetail the seams which makes for perfect seaming.

    I would take for blocks and sew them together, a four patch. You will get better accuracy this way rather than sewing eight rows together.

    I would sew it 4 squares at a time & square it up as you go.

    But however you decide to do it, I know it will be perfect - good luck
