When she opens the block, it has a small block in the center on point. Can anyone help!Thanks.

Look up 10 minute blocks. That is the name of the tut on youtube. Enjoy.

I also bought the book (10-Minute Blocks by Suzanne McNeill) from Connecting Threads. The book shows blocks in the 10" Layer Cake Size, the 4" Charm Size, and a great looking quilt using Jelly Rolls. The book gives other tips and tricks to making these blocks (like adding an extra "center" between blocks and making a heart shaped center block). I have not had a chance to try this out yet, but makes a great, and easy quilt.

My 17 year old GD and I just finished this in a quilt top (King size!) She sewed more on it than I did!! This is her first project and she loved it! We had those blocks knocked out so fast!! Then we sewed them into rows! And then framed the whole thing! I've had a blast working with her!

Just got it on the quilt frame, not tied yet.
