Just to help clarify some things about the Square-agonals technique: yes you do lose the points, however that is what I call the "Square-agonals Soignature" and it is part of the design process. I point it out because visually most people don't even see it because of the finished design and fabric. And since it is consistent around the outside edges only, it becomes part of the design and not a flaw. As for the bias edges, if you follow the way my technique is done they shouldn't be a concern. You starch the blocks that are cut and have the option of using my guide tape to further stabilize the bias. I make full size quilts this way all the time and never have an issue with the bias.
No technique is for everyone, but I have seen too many students over the years who were afraid to attempt an
on-point quilt because of the setting triangles and math, now they do it without without that fear and in a simpler way.
Thanks again for a great quilting board!
