About This Quilt
Anyone can easily sew
5" squares and sashes together to
make a straight-set quilt. The fun
comes when the quilt is cut apart
diagonally, pieces moved, and
then sewn back together. After an
additional cut, move, and sew, the
straight-set quilt magically trans-
forms into a quilt with squares set
on point.
