I've always used a horizontal setting for my quilts, but i am in the midst of making one with a diagonal setting -- no sashings. After looking at the design (one that I made up in EQ) the other day, a question came to mind.
When making a quilt with a horizontal setting, I've always taken care to cut the fabric on grain so that the quilt will hang squarer. However, I'm not sure what I need to do in regard to this with a diagonal set. That is, if I cut squares on grain, then the bias will be top to bottom & left to right. If I cut the squares on the bias, then the straight grain will be top to bottom & left to right, but I will have to sew the blocks together on the bias edge.
How does one take this issue into consideration when making a quilt with a diagonal setting? Is this a non-issue?
