When you add oversize setting triangles there are large points that need to be trimmed carefully before the rows are sewn together.
I lay the row along a line of the cutting mat so that it stays straight and then lay the ruler on and make sure it is parallel to the left edge and trim.
When you cut setting triangles to the exact size needed you won't have this step.
I needed a break from sewing those long rows so I die cut some Crossed Canoe blocks and sewed them.
I love your pieces. I got the pineapple die for Christmas. I’ve been thinking of ordering the crossed canoes as well and now you are enticing me with these beauties. Well done.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work on this..those are long, difficult to match rows for sure!! Those canoe blocks are looking lovely hugs on a sunny day but very cold 15 degrees here Julierose
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is so stunning with the blocks on point! And I'm glad you chose the big floral print for the triangles.
ReplyDeleteI love thee new crossed canoe blocks in the beautiful orange!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the hints on the setting triangle trimming. The quilt is red hot.
