In this post, I showed a few straight set quilt designs with the Balance quilt block.
Now let’s look at this block set on point:
It’s a nice quilt. I could see this on a table top, or the favored arm chair for this time of year.
How would it look with a green background?
I prefer the white, but one isn’t better than the other…just personal preference.
Perhaps more open space for the quilter who likes to show off her quilting:
How about “floating” the blocks:
One more:
All of the blocks in the above designs are the Balance quilt block and variations created from Balance by deleting lines and moving color around.
You really can do a lot with one block.

Red centers in the one with more space for quilting would make a fun wreath for Christmas! I love all the variations though 🙂

I really like the first one. On-point settings really do some special things.

Hi Kat! Most of the time, I prefer an on point setting…there are some very nice surprises to discover with them. 🙂

My wise old grandmother used to make quilts. She made quilts for everyone in the family, church raffles, and anyone and everyone who wanted one. She died in 2003 and, sadly, I don’t have a single one of her quilts.
