I love On-Point quilts! The one I’m working on now has 72 blocks set 6 X 7. How many sashings , corner-stones or setting triangles does this Quilter need for these kind of layouts? The chart I usually use is missing the sizes for quilts set 5 X 6 and 6 X 7! This meant I actually had to do some MATH!
I thought having such a chart could be a handy thing, and this kind of math should only need to be done once, so I’m uploading it here!
And yes, it’s missing sizes for quilts set 8, 9, 10 wide, but I want to get back to sewing, so I’ll add those sizes as needed!

I get the feeling the RRCB maybe on point somehow!
Slick! This is the kind of stuff that just paralyzes me at the very end of making a quilt. You can believe I'll print this, put it in a sheet protector, and guard it with my life. Thanks Bonnie! I appreciate your math skills.
Great!!! thankyou....
Awesome! Thank you so much! This is one of the things I HATE to try to figure out!
Very helpful! Thanks for sharing!

Wishing some more calm days in front of the fireplace - all the BEST for 2o11

Thank you so much, saved me a lot of time :) I figured out the amount of blocks and set in triangles but I'm happy that I just was able to google the number of sashing strips and corner stones.
