Yikes, I couldn’t figure out what angle I needed to cut and where (the tutorial doesn’t have a photo of that step), so I stopped before I did something stupid. This morning I sat down to do the same thing with the corners, and top/bottom and left/right setting triangles. So now all the diamonds have a sashing strip on one side. That went well, except for the first angle cut I made where I didn’t see that I was supposed to press my diamonds first and then cut the angle.
I cut my strips 1-1/2″ and chain pieced the diamonds to each strip like the tutorial says to do. I just wasn’t understanding why and finally today on the INFO-EQ mailing list, I got my answer (it’s complicated, there’s MATH involved LOL). So I knew it could be done.)īut EQ7 wanted me to cut 1-3/8″ strips with a 7/8″ finished sashing and I had specified 1″ finished. (I am following an online tutorial where the quilter used 60deg diamonds but smaller than mine, and used 1″ finished sashings. I have had some consternation with this pattern that I had drafted in EQ7 and wasn’t getting the expected results with the rotary cutting instructions. Today’s design wall picture is actually from yesterday at Stitchers, before I started sewing the sashings to the diamonds.
