so now we pick up the ones with the square on it and match up the corners on the sides of the big square that have nothing on them yet. Point yet again hangs off the end, you will have two seams to match up, this is where pressing to the opposite sides can pay off, for those that pin pin away, the seams butt together nicely this way and I can feel it with my fingers if they are matching. 1/4 seam and away we go, continue and do the opposite the same way. Press to the dark. We are almost done at this point.

Last little bit and then we will be done.

line up the big HST along the angles edge, both points should hang off of the ends equally, the point in the center (I forgot to take a pictures of this)

1/4 inch seam, repeat on the other side.

On this one there is less resistance to press to the light, check before doing this to see if it will show when it is done.

so here is our completed block,

Tip, when sewing over some of the points, sew with the pieced one up, that way you can see where you are sewing over and can hopefully hit the junction where they meet.

Thank you very much, I hope that it makes it easier for some to do the block and get their points to show.

For those that quilt, they can just take the cutting directions and toss it together, but so many people are having issues with their points, this one is easy to practice with, points that you can watch to make sure you see them as you go along. And the directions ended up all on the front page so no flipping through to find bits and pieces of it.

Thank you Ninnie!

Thank you Amma, I was finding it a little dry, and you need to take breaks no matter how much you love quilting!

Pink Monkey seems to be my trademark these days.
