On point quilt help needed
 

Having a mental problem here. I haven't made an on point quilt for quite some time and I can't remember what the measurements are for figuring out the setting triangles. The unfinished size of my blocks are 5 inches. Can someone refresh my memory? Sure would appreciate it

I have the list printed and pinned on the wall in my sewing area.

tapper, thanks for the link...........calla

can we ever remember that? I got the 20 1/2 inch ruler that has those measurements on it. That helps a lot!

Here's a visual for you.

Jan, Thank you very much. How did you know I am more of a visual person?
Topper, Thanks for the list, it is now printed, soon to be posted on MY wall
Nativetexan, Whose ruler is it that has those numbers on it?

Thanks ladies you are always there when someone is in need

My large ruler is an Omnigrip one. I think I got it at JoAnn's, perhaps online though.

Ladies, you are always so generous with your time and information. Thank you for your kindness. Jan, have you ever considering compiling and publishing a book of all your handy tips? I'd buy one in a second. Then again maybe it should be two books so no one gets back strain lifting it. :p Joyce in DE

Isn't she awesome?????

Thank Jan, you are the berries

You're so silly! :o

Actually I *have* considered writing a book, probably an e-book, and probably just for QBees, but life seems to keep getting in the way.

And now in the past couple of weeks I find myself spending more time doing for my mom, age 89, that is taking mental and physical time from other things I would be doing. She has ALWAYS wanted me write a boo, any book, I suppose I should do it before she leaves this mortal coil. :)

Me, too!! ;)

I got mine in the late 90s from Lynn Graves (known as the Purple Lady) who's company is Little Foot Ltd. She is the one who invented The Purple Thang and invented the first 1/4" foot.
