. I didn’t have to miter the corners but since all the angled pieces were sewn at 45*, I thought miters would look best. I found a good YouTube video that made it easier. The instructor said to pin the extra length matching the raw side edges of the extensions, iron in the 45* fold, open it back up ( leaving the pins in) and draw a sewing line in on the fold to sew on. It worked well and was easy.

Tartan, thanks for the instructions!! I still can't visualize how it's going to work, but I think if I sew up a few squares, I'll figure it out!! What is that 45* tool called that you have in your picture?

This handy little ruler made by Omnigrid, was gifted to me by a quilter friend about 10 years ago before she died. I don't know if it is still available but I think of her every time I use it.[ATTACH=CONFIG]606635[/ATTACH]

The blocks are all made the same but you rotate them every other one. Here is the first one with the second block rotated and you can start to see the pattern.[ATTACH=CONFIG]606645[/ATTACH]
