On point, the easy way

With St. Patrick's Day coming up, I wanted to play around with some green fabrics.  I chose a batik, a stripe and 2 tone-on-tones to make a pattern called Cross Ties by Straight to the Point.

The first step was to make a simple Rail Fence  pattern with alternating stripes:

Next step was to make diagonal cuts across the quilt in the plain green squares:

Then it was time to re-arrange the pieces to make a square quilt with the blocks set on the diagonal:

Add a couple of borders, and this was the result:

The pattern would make a really good baby quilt.  It's a good size, and it worked up pretty fast.
