Cake Stand
Block finishes 8 inches
I plan to set it on point.
Cutting (using the EZ angle or Bonnie Hunter's tool for triangles)
Solid: one triangle from 4 1/2 inch strip, six triangles from 2 1/2 inch strip
Print: two triangles from 4 1/2 inch strip, four triangles from 2 1/2 inch strip, one 2 1/2 inch square, two 2 1/2 by 4 1/2 inch rectangles
Piecing
Make four 2 1/2 inch half square triangle units and one 4 1/2 inch triangle unit
Lay out block for remainder of construction
Pressing
For this project I am assembling the quilt block-to-block, no sashing or setting squares. To make sure seams nest I am using this first pressing plan for the base of the basket. (I figured this out before I had to re-stitch too many of these areas.)
The second picture is how I would press it if I were using sashings as it lies a bit better and gives better visibility to keep triangle points.
