Now to sew it together...
The layout.
When you are working with a diagonal setting you will
sew your quilt top together in the diagonal rows.
Work on half of your quilt at a time.
Sew the middle seam together last.
Notice the room around the edges for border or binding because
of the larger setting triangles. This is a good method for a modern quilt
when you want to bind this edge.
Happy 150th Canada!
The completed quilt top is 50" x 82".
Trouble Shooting
I ran into this little snag when piecing my quilt together. I was just going along, minding my own business, when I spotted inconvenient dog ears! Oh dang.
I needed to do a bit of un-sewing to be able to put my sashing rows on properly.
Of course, not sewing these points down to begin with is the best alternative :)
But, if you are like me and stuff happens, here is the solution.
In the top-centre of the photo below notice how the top left point of the triangle is in the way for the sashing row to be sewn on.
Close-up
Undo this point about 1", sew your sashing in place, then sew this point back down.
