Setting Your Quilt On-Point: Cheater On-Point Block Method

Let’s get right to the point! We love quilts that are set on point, but we know it can be a little tricky to make them. Today, we’re sharing the Cheater On-Point Block method. It’s a simple way to give the appearance of an on-point setting with straight-set blocks. Keep reading for a free video tutorial and all the details!

Cheater On-Point Block Tutorial

Today Kimberly is bringing back the Rolling Stone Classic & Vintage Quilt Block! She’s using it in this video tutorial as she demonstrates how to make an on-point quilt with our FREE Cheater On-Point PDF Guide. This guide is designed for quilters of any level, and there’s a Rolling Stone Medley Quilt Kit and Backing Set to make one just like ours.

We’ve chosen the Ridgewood collection by Minick & Simpson for Moda Fabrics for our Rolling Stone Medley Quilt. This fabric selection combines the beauty of traditional styles with a palette of eye-catching red and pink hues. We love the result!

    1. I love on point blocks in a quilt. Thank you for the free guide. Your quilt is beautiful.

  1. What iron are you using in the video? Thank you. I have always loved this block! Thank you for the video. Hugs,

  2. An on-point setting is not that difficult.

    This method adds too many extra seams for my liking.

    Love the quilt. One of my favourite patterns. Thanks for sharing it.
