Putting a Square On Point
 

I've made a couple of quilts where I decided after I had the squares made that the squares needed to be on point to add interest to the quilt. This is a quick tutorial on how to put a square on point that I've used. The final pictures of the quilt I used for this tutorial can be found at http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...s-t139870.html

Good luck and let me know if I can improve the tutorial! This is my first!

thank you for taking the time to make this great tutorial :thumbup:

This is very similar to the Card Trick on Point tutorial I posted here several months ago. http://www.quiltingboard.com/tutoria...n-t137717.html

I also taught it at a workshop in Martinsburg WV; I wonder if you learned yours from someone in that area? Makes it so much easier doesn't it?!!

I used your method to make the card tricks, but I used charm blocks instead of strips. I wanted the card tricks on point, but still sqares for easier assembly with the kites I'd made from leftover fabric from the charms. I loved making the card tricks using your method, they went together so easily!

Thank you!!!

Thank you so much, Im new at all this and I think this will come in handy. Great job on doing the tutorial. :)

Thanks for sharing!

I forgot to mention that I used this method on an Ohio Star quilt I just finished to add a little "spin" to the quilt. You can see a picture at http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...d-t195191.html

Have fun and keep in stitches!

Now I find this! After making my "Card Trick" the hard way. LOL

I've wanted to make a card trick block for some time, but just haven't gotten to it. Your tut makes it look easy; I really want to give it a turn now! Thanks for the help!

For some reason I couldn't read the words, they were blurred.

Phyllis,
Did you wait long enough for it to completely load??

DebD, I just looked again and I can see the words real good.
I will save it in my favorites to use later. Thanks so much.

Jan, I may not have waited long enough, about as long as I usually do. It is now readable.
