Cut 1/4" Seam Allowance Before Borders Added

After your quilt blocks are sewn together,check and make SURE your seam allowance is 1/4"

These quilt blocks are set on point and I always cut "offsetting" triangles bigger and I MUST cut to a 1/4" seam allowance.  Doing this your border will be easier to sew on, as points will not be cut off and the seam will be straighter.

Just one of the Many Quilter's Tricks !

Quilt Pattern Block Tutorial from The Quilt Ladies

This is a pattern I drafted for a quilt for Grand #1 for his birthday. I posted pic's of it and had a couple emails asking about the pattern.

It may have an "Official Name" but to me it's Grand #1's Quilt block.
