My first AND last one! A lot more work than I thought & I had never done a full quilt before! Whew! DID have it quilted on a long arm, however. I'd never have been able to quilt it! No hand work, all machine. My fingers are no longer able to do hand work. The "squares" are ALL out of the same material as the floral border. Still amazes me.

please consider putting your full name - first,maiden and married names, your location-town and state, date finished and if it's for anyone their full name. This adds to the value of the quilt much more than "Grandma Mary"
BTW - the quilt is GORGEOUS!! So many blocks too - you are a determined quilter!

You stack up PERFECTLY aligned 6 pieces of fabric (size will depend on how large the repeat pattern is) and cut (whack) 6 triangles at a time. It's not that simple, but that's the idea. Then they will all be exactly alike, & you make that 6 sized "square" and continue from there.
