Purchased the blocks from Toni's yard sale when she was downsizing. She had ten blocks and I have used nine here. I put them on my design wall and had them in all different layouts. Nothing was doing anything for me.
Then in the middle of the morning, "on-point" came to mind. So a bit later in the day I moved the blocks around some more and put them "on-point". I was happy. Next came the border quandry. I wanted it to remain "on-point" so off I went to Google. "On-point quilts" brought up beautiful layouts and the following link to my favorite Crafsy website.

From here I determined that I could still use a calculator (although it is now on my phone) to render a result. I needed about 26 inch squares of fabric to make the corner triangles.
Now I only had a little bit of two fabrics and scraps of the rest. I pieced the flower fabric and cut it and cut a square of orange fabric and cut it on the diagonal. WOW...Now there are only small scraps left and I have a square, but it is on-point.
Now to layer, quilt, and bind.
I am happy to have finished up Toni's UFO without just adding it to my UFO stash. :o)
Happy Trails.
May God Bless!
