There is nothing hard or scary or difficult or special about setting blocks on point. What it amounts to is setting blocks in a row, then laying the ROWs out starting from lower left to upper right. You do need to make a sketch of your squares------------and the simplest way to do that is to line them up in rows and columns, then turn your sketch so that the corners run left to right and top to bottom. Rows will vary in length. Then you can finish the quilt out leaving the edge points as they are, or you can add triangles to each row to end up with straight sides.
