On Point Layout Option

Make nine star blocks and four snowball blocks and arrange them on point for a completely different appearance.

You'll need to make four extra star blocks for this layout, and cut corner and setting triangles for the quilt's outer edges.

Setting triangles: cut two 15-3/8" squares, then cut each one twice diagonally to produce a total of eight triangles with the fabric's straight grain running parallel to the long edges.

Corner triangles: cut two 8" squares, then cut each one in half once diagonally to produce a total of four triangles with the fabric's straight grain running parallel to the short edges.

If you make this little quilt I'd love to put a picture of it in Online Quilt Show. Just send me the details.
