Oh thank-you everyone for encouragement and the links.
The link Auntpiggylpn you sent to the Quiltbug site that showed the diagram really helped me as I'm so visually dependent! By George I think I got it!!! I can see that the design wall is absolutely going to be the light bulb moment in seeing how this is done! Making the side setting triangles for each row and corner triangles then arranging them on the design wall....dah!
Lynnie ~ You so hit the nail on the head...thinking outside the box is really hard for me... you get me :0)
GrannieAnnie and Maniacquilter2...You are absolutely right looking at it from a different angle makes sense and I can see it visually that way.
Thanks to the two Barb's also...

I made my first on point quilt this year and found this help Quiltville.com Putting it "ON-Point"!! I hope you can fine it. It is figuring the math for diagonal quilt setting. It is 4 pages and I could not have done my quilt without.

Well, my creative juices are a flowing. I got to thinking about actually doing the heart quilt as a heart filled with hearts. How do you like this? Strips could be used to build it out to the width and length you want it to finish. This one finishes at about 58 inches.

Once again, I got lazy and just colored all the blocks in with black that I didn't want color in. I would never make it with all those little squares and rectangles. It would be larger strips and setting triangles. Hope I didn't confuse anyone.

I agree! This is great. I really hate sewing blocks together on point, though I can do it. It may be worth it to have this cutie!!
