Chevron Quilt

I'm starting on this chevron quilt for my granddaughter--solid black and solid brights. I just haven't gotten to the oranges, reds, purples, and yellows!

Instead of using charm squares, I am using a couple of layer cakes and can get 8 HST blocks super fast.  Here is a video that shows this technique, but I hate marking with a pencil, I skip that step and just iron 2 diagonal "marks" in my color fabrics...then sew on either side of the crease.

Here is the video.
