When we left this project last, I had gotten this far.
Then took what might seem like drastic measures and sliced it diagonally.
I rearranged.
And sewed it back together.
Then I turned it and sliced again.
After rearranging and sewing again, I got this. That is what I was looking for!
This is a simple no waste way to put a quilt on point. The downside is that the points on the side will get lost in the seam when I add a border or binding. Also, your edges will all end up on the bias.
Here’s a side by side comparison with the before on the left and after on the right.
It’s a doll quilt, not a masterpiece so I’m still okay with losing the points in this case. And I actually like both versions of this. It was a fun little experiment. Time to think about a border.
Have a great day!

Wow that is a really genius! I love the double pink.
Aren’t you the whitty one….😻😻😻😻😻 .
What a fun idea and a sweet quilt!
Oh wow this is amazing! Slicing a quilt! I thought you were going to turn it on point!
I did this once with 4 patches. It was great fun. Yours looks great!
You are definitely the queen of the slice! I love how this turned out. The bias edges should be no big deal; a little stay stitching around the edges should help. Cute quilt!
I DO love the 2nd version! I am not sure, however, that I would be bold enough to slice it twice~ you are 1 bold woman!!!
Even with its shortcomings, this is a neat technique. And the result is a sweet little quilt.
Great idea – love the look of the little quilt!
