Set in Corners

[BethMI]

What are set in corners? I had someone ask me if I used them in a quilt and I'm not sure what they are.

They might be meaning mitered corners or Y seams

Do they mean the setting corners for blocks set on point that is a whole different thing. So you need to know what they mean before we can answer any more questions.

If you ask a norwegian gal what "set in corners" are, I would tell you its a square same width as the border (ex: border is 5 " and corner is 5"sq.) but a different fabric. You can use the technique as I mention, in the border (s) but also to frame blocks.
But then again, just a norwegian gal talking :wink: :lol:

Thank you for your help. I think they might mean mitered corners, that makes the most sense concerning the picture they were inquiring about.

Look at Ricky's quilt "Dad's Lone Star". The applique pieces just outside the lone star are "set in". The lone star part is done first and the appliqued pieces are added. Ricky has a terrific technique for this that he demonstrates at the "Seminar".

Take a look at Sharon Schambers site, she has an exelent video on how to do mitered corners :wink:

It appears to me that Sharon can do NOTHING poorly! ha

I just kind of hold her up their with the "Gods of Quilting!"
