Here is another pattern http://quiltwoman.com/dance-partners-quilt-pattern.aspx. It is not free but it is pretty quick and easy. You make 3 different blocks 9" blocks and then sew them together. And then CUT top apart in 3 places and sew them back to gether making on-point blocks. It was pretty scary cutting top after all that work sewing. but it is cute!!!!

I have quilters making the larger quilt projects all the time without fear. It is also helpful for the larger projects if you utilize my guide tapes.

Thanks again for all of you who commented and feel free to contact me if you have any questions about Square-agonals. I am so glad I found this Quilting Board! You look like a grand group of quilters!

Thank you for sharing your technique. I've bookmarked your site because I have fabric I bought several years ago to make a QB quilt on point. Once again, thank you for sharing.

PS You have found the best bunch of quilters on this board.

Contradance is the name of the pattern that I made in this technique.

that pattern doesn't look like it accounts for a quarter inch seam, therefore you would not have points.Or maybe I am not understanding the graphics?

I thought the same thing but I think where you cut becomes the outer edge of the quilt & where you join is the former outside edges so no seam allowances have been taken yet.

I've enjoyed this thread, seeing the techniques. What really amazes me is that someone had the visual acumen to see that this would work. WOW!

This technique really looks great! I must try it! What I will do is print out the pattern using EQ7 and slice that, and put it together on point, before I slice my quilt top (of course, EQ7 will not show the outer 1/4" seam allowance, so that has to be taken into account); or you can draw or you can draw it on graph paper before actually cutting your quilt top. I can't wait!
