Points Turned


Found a tutorial on the Quilting Board called "Ten Minute Block Variation (on point)", and it seemed just the thing for another block for my Roman Road quilt in progress. 

My plan was to come up with a block that would look like this:

However, for that to happen, I had to get the math right and manage to end up with a nine inch unfinished block. And... well, I have to say, my math just wasn't up to it this time around.
So, I could continue calculations, OR...I could kick these pretties off point and put them together a bit differently. I opted for the easier path. (Hanging my head in shame.)


Ideally, I would list here the steps in making the little ten-minute block variations, but honestly, it would be better for anyone interested to go to The Quilting Board tutorial section and find the post I followed there. The title of the tutorial was "Ten Minute Block Variation (on point)". Joining the board is free.

My plan is to put sashing between the four small blocks for a cross-like effect. Once completed, I'll post a picture here:
