Here is the schedule we will follow during our quilt along. 

Icicles Quilt Along

October 4- Information Post

Week 1- November 5- Prepare the dresden blades

Week 2- November 12- Sew the dresden plates

Week 3- November 19- Appliqué the dresden plates

Week 4- November 26- Make the alternate blocks

Week 5- December 3- Make the setting triangles

Week 6- December 10- Make the corner triangles and assemble the top

This week, in week 6, we are making the corner triangles and assembling the quilt top.  

This is much the same as last week but the triangles are smaller, with less pieces.  Lay out the pieces as per the pattern.  Sew each of the pieces together into rows.

Trim the overhang and sew the top two rows together.  To sew the bottom row to the top triangle, fold the green piece in half and crease the center (shown below) and then match it to the seam in the row above it.

Sew together.

To sew the triangle onto the quilt, fold the green piece in half again and crease to mark a line on the bottom, raw edge.  Then, line that up to the main part of the quilt top.  You'll still have your creases in your dresden blocks so you can line it up with the middle crease at that point (shown below).

To finish up the quilt top, trim all of the overhanging points on the triangles.  Add the borders and tah-dah...your top is complete!
