This is one of my favorite blocks to make. So simple and a great scrap buster. I got the idea a few years ago from Teresa Down Under on TH-cam. She calls it the faux pineapple block. Thanks for sharing your version.
Hello Sandy, be sure to watch the square-in-a-square playlist for more pertinent information about maintaining the corner points. I’m happy to answer any questions. Thank you for joining us!
@@MarionPasque honestly, I cut scrap blocks from yardage, but if I measure, it’s something like 2 9inch blocks, 2 4inch blocks, 2 3inch blocks, 2 2.5inch blocks, and one 4 inch block for the middle. So maybe 2 different colored fat quarters?
@@MarionPasque I revised my estimate because 2 9-inch blocks are 18 inches and that’s an entire fat quarter, so depending upon how big your finished square is, maybe 2 fat quarters for the desk and only one fat quarter for the light.
I am asking about this method. I know how to do it trhe traditional way. But I will play around with this method to see if it is possible to keep the points. Thanks1@@creatinghanley
@@SaffronHammer If you starch the fabric ahead of time and let it dry to stiffen up the fabric, so that you can cut clean edges, that may help, because there are a lot of bias edges which will distort very easily. Measure, cut and sew carefully.
Wow Thank you for that,that was soooo easy &Quick to do.😁💜

Thank you for sharing , it is amazing ❤
The points are cut off the first set of triangles that are connected to the center square
Yes they are, especially if the second square is trimmed. The remaining material becomes smaller and the points are lost due to seam allowance.

I am wondering if you used a larger square on top, that the seam allowance would allow for the edges to remain?
Yes! Watch the video tutorial series, it explains various methods to save the points
How much of both fabrics do you need per finished block

Is there a way to do this technique without cutting off the corners, so the full square remains....
Please watch methods 2 or 3, and then the Adding Layers tutorials to protect the points

I have made this block…It is not this confusing……it is not difficult..pass 16:58 16:59 16:59
Lost points and all those bias edges? Pass.
True! Check out the second method in the next tutorial; points perfect!
