In this guest article, Donna Lynn explains why she designed the On Point Ruler and how to use it.

On a few of my posts sharing my current on-point scrap quilt, many readers have asked about the final assembly process. Well, I remembered to take a couple photos as I sewed my quilt top together so I can now share the process I use. The first step is to get the layout how you want it.

Anjeanette Klinder has written an excellent tutorial that shows you …

This next round of the Medallion Quilt is the the 16-Patch Quilt Block Tutorial. It is both the easiest of the blocks in this quilt and the round that needs the most blocks. That seems fair, right? You have to make more of this one, but it is the easiest. The reason that so many more 16-patches are needed than any of the other blocks is because the 16-patch checkerboard block will be used in both round three and round six. But, before we get to the 16-Patches, here is a review of the…
