1. Measure your block along one side, add 2" to this measurement and cut 2 squares.
2. Cut these squares on ONE DIAGONAL. The short sides will be on the straight grain and will be set along the corners of your quilt top.
No math. No lost block points. A little "float" allowed. A stable, wonderful setting!

Thank you for this!
I am planning a quilt with blocks set on point and was wondering the same thing. This method sounds so easy! I'm going to try it and see how I like it.
