All triangles have at least one bias edge. As far as I can tell by examining antique quilts they hold up just fine after use and washing for many years. Personally I have so many quilts they do not need to last for decades. I'll never fret over a few bias edges.

Not about ironing and sewing together but about the finished quilt. How does it hold up through use and washing? Will it tend to go out of shape? Get bulgey in the middle? Get wonky? I'm hoping the answer is that it won't. This method seems relatively new as quilters have been taught for years, decades really, to avoid bias edges so not sure anyone has had a quilt made this way long enough to know the answer to my question. Maybe having a border around the quilt will eliminate any issues with stretching? Thank you in advance for your reply.

I like how you say "GENTLY" with all those bias edges on the outside of the block.
