You have taken the mystery out of on point quilt construction. 1 million thanks Maureen!

[@theopinionatedquilter]

Thanks so much. Happy to help!

I love your windmills on point with sashing and cornerstones! I have that same pattern from McCall's Quilting and I like it and both of your versions, but your colors ( especially your colors and the green you used! ) and on point setting really shows off the blocks in the first quilt! I would never have thought of putting these blocks on point. Thank you!

Really great information to consider when planning a quilt on point. Things I never would of thought of.

I have given you many thumbs and had, just had to subscribe and be notified. I really enjoy your opinions as well as your tips and techniques, they actually work, especially with scrap quilts, I don't care for scrap quilts because they look just like scraps, no specific form, nor layout. I love the pinwheel on point and the setting squares rather than sashing and cornerstones. You have taken the time to think of the best use of fabric. I have always that there are scraps or fabric to throw away when quilting. I said not, there must be a better way, that fabric cost too much. Thanks for proving me right. I really appreciate you. Thanks for sharing.

Comment regarding Part 2 -- The helpful hint about how to join backing together is really good! (Would have put this on that video, but comments appear to be turned off.) Learning such good helpful things from these videos. Thank you!

Thank you for all your information. Learned so much.

[@theopinionatedquilter]

So good to hear.

I wish you would have gone ahead and showed how to do the math and then cut the sitting triangles on the side and corners To fit your ten 1/2 inch block. That is what I was looking for when I tuned in. I think you have to take your diagonal and multiply it plus add some other things to it? Like your video though, and I subscribed.

This was very helpful. I am wanting to make a scrap quilt setting it on point so was looking for ideas on how to lay them out. Since these are orphan blocks they are all different sizes and shapes. Have you found any books or layouts that might be helpful for this? I loved the McCalls quilt block and wrote it down as it might be a helpful block as a filler for my scrap quilt.

Your pinwheel quilts are definitely better than the magazine. Like the information you are giving (especially about using the pressing technique that fits the block) and the way you measured and drew out the on-point diagram is genius! Just a few suggestions on the video quality... The resolution is grainy, making it more difficult to see what you are doing and the volume varies quite a bit (I'm guessing the mic is on the camera rather than on you). Love the MegaMat; perhaps it might also be a good idea to put affiliate links in the "show more" section of the video information for tools you use in that episode, or are easily visible (like the mat), so people can buy these things, with the affiliate fees going to your channel, at least for domestic sales. Lastly, if you reference someone else's video, it is really helpful to put the link to that video somewhere below the video. Hope these suggestions are helpful, as you grow your channel.
