Square-agonals: 12 Easy Pieces, by Sandi Blackwell, published by Laundauer Publishing, shares insights on 12 unique blocks using her Square-agonals technique.
Step-by-Step instructions are provided to use Sandi's technique to make 12 blocks used to make the "Tropical Jewels Quilt", as shown on the cover of this book, or a table topper or wallhanging.
The Square-agonals technique is a simple way to create quilts with a diagonal setting without adding setting and corner triangles, allowing you to make piecing your quilt easier and more creative. Sandy provides great visuals and instructions to help you master this technique that you can apply to other designs too!
SewCalGal recommends this book for confident beginner quilters through advanced quilters that want to create table runners, wallhangings or a variety of quilt sizes using the 12 blocks shared in this fun book, as well as those interested in learning Sandi's Square-agonals technique.
You can find this book on Amazon and at many quilt shops.

ReplyDeleteOne of the reasons that my son's graduation quilt isn't finished is because I need to figure out the setting triangles (no pattern, he just figured out how he wants it, and told me to make it). I love things on point, but, don't always like trying to figure them out. Thanks for the chance to win this book.
