Nancy at Life is a Stitch came over this afternoon to show me her method for making this block. She originally used the magazine's method, which involved set in seams, for her block but found it did not work well. She tried another method when making the block a second time for Denise's quilt and it worked out much better. We added triangular "chunks" to the 4 sides of the centre square and then added "setting triangles" to the corners. I only have 5 more blocks to make for my Grateful Heart Sampler. I hope to get most of them done this week.
