I could tell you but it would take more space than we have here so if you go to McCalls Quilting they have a wonderful lesson & chart you may download. If you just follow step by step you won't have any trouble. When you get to the site, click on "Lessons" then scroll down to "Setting blocks on point". This will get you a square, if you want a regular size placemat you will have to add some borders. Good luck!

Love your block, where did the hummingbird come from? That's a lovely design. Did you know that Oregon PatchWorks has free block of the month quilting lessons? You just have to sign up with your e-mail, that's your password, and it's in the "members only" section. There's a bunch of different blocks there, they've been doing this for 2 years, I think. The lessons are PDF files, so you can download them and have them on your computer, or print them out, don't have to stay on line to do it. Best of luck, I think your placemats will be beautiful! Those are the colors in my kitchen, so of course I would think so, hee hee hee. Hugs, Marji

You'll need to cut a square 7/8" larger than your 8.5" block then cut diagonally. Always use the 7/8" rule when making triangles that will fit with no hassle. Good luck and your placemats are going to be beautiful. Hugs Karen
