Turning 45 degrees in stone path

Hi folks, I'm relaying all my paths and patio in indian sandstone and want to know how to deal with 2 x 45 degree turns around a bay window on the front of the house. It sticks out about 2 feet and is about 6 foot long. How best should I lay the stones to go around it?

The neatest way is to use one large flag as a keystone mitre so it ends up as a kite shape and then you simply run square off both sides of it. This may not work if the angle is too steep or you dont have a big enough flag.

If you are laying in a random pattern or your flags are too small for a single mitred flag then you mitre all of them along one line. You take an imaginary line coming out from the point of the corner and cut all flags to meet this from both sides. You need to lay the flags into the pattern and then mark and cut both flags equally to make the joint match properly.

The other option is to continue the pattern and pretend the corner is no there but it can get very wastefull with losts of cut flags and is only worth considering if you are using a kerb/ setts or some sort of border as small cuts at the free edge will be prone to coming loose and it doesnt look right. Also this method is only worth doing if the paving returns paralell to the house on both sides of the bay window.

Thanks for that comprehensive reply. I think I'll try option 2. I might mock it up on a CAD program I have.
