piecing a 45 degree diamond quilt
Dear Quilters,
I am piecing a quilt that is comprised of all 45 degree diamonds. I piece the diamonds into strips and then stitch the strips to make 8 sections that are pieced to make the entire quilt. The trouble I am having is piecing the strips. Any hints of how to match the seams when piecing the strips would be greatly appreciated. I am piecing the strips and end up off about 1/8 of an inch.
There must be a secret quilting tip. Would greatly appreciate insights. Thanks. ann c.Tags: None

Great topic and I am so interested and thankful for the answers and tips etc. I just ordered a pattern for a quilt that is all 45 degree diamonds. It said it was for 'intermediate' quilters. I'll find out soon if I fit the description of not. Besides that, it's the first kit I've ever bought, as I usually like to do all things 'my way. Well, I am making it bigger, that's all....

Thanks, Pam. I'd heard that 'Best Pressed' is very good. I've not tried it yet, but I may for this project. I guess this project will determine if I'm still a beginner or an intermediate (which the pattern is for) or just in my very own category (most likely)
In leafy Berkshire, south of England.

Terrie,
Love the new avatar!
I have used Best Press for a while now, as we can't find StaFlo in our area. You will love it, I had never used starch before, and I started with last year BOM following advice from all on the forum. What a difference it makes. And this one will not make heavy flakes like the one in spray can make.
My first Lone star was a miniature block, done with Lorraine Olsen technique - paper-pieced. The way the pattern is designed, you really can't miss. I wish I could figure out how to increase the size properly to make this as a bigger quilt... One day, I'll try that...

AndréeYes, I would think so too... But I'm not sure about the area "in between" the strips, if you have seen the technique. I'll try this over the week end, and I'll let you know.
In the meantime, here is a picture of my little block:
