A couple of years ago our LQS was having a class on making a quilt that was pieced, then CUT in an X, turned and resewn.

The shop has gone out of business and I have never been able to find any type of pattern.

Wish I could have done the class.

The entire quilt was pieced and then cut or each block?

The whole top was cut from corner to corner in an X, the turned and the X area was resewn.

I'm interested in that too, sounds like something a woman with over active and over imaginative kids would have done to one of hers. Don't ask me how that came to mind..my kids grew up to be nice people. I let them live to grow up---to be nice people.

Sounds fascinating. I did some searching on google but no luck so far.

It might be a pattern from 'quiltwoman.com' --Straight to the Point (tm) series

oh somewhere when cleaning out my sewing room, i came across a print out of that. i know exactly what you mean. i'll go look and in my trash can too in case i figured i'd never do one like that.
found it-

Oh that is awesome. I love quilts with blocks set on point but it sounds like too much work doing the triangles on the sides. This is much better. thanks OP and thanks nativetexan!

I just checked the site ewecansew posted.

I do believe it was called the Contra Dance.

Nativetexan, that is it.

Here is another demo page using a different pattern.

What a cool idea!!!

That would be cool to do with a 9 patch block quilt.

What a cool idea! I would have never thought of that.

i have done this technique several times. It is scary at first, but is easier each time. Anita Hallock's 'Fast Patch' was the first place I saw it. You do lose some of the points (corners) on the outside, but almost no-one notices.

Gale - while I agree that this pattern looks cool, don't be scared to a try a quilt set on point. I'm just doing my first on point (lap) quilt and I thought it would be hard but it was fine. Just like everything else we do, take one step at a time and you'll be fine.

If you can cut a square you can cut a triangle, right? And of you can piece a block you can sew a triangle to a square. And that's pretty much all there is to it :-)
