Around the Corner (Nancy Cabot 1936) is drawn with a 4 x 4 grid.
If you have Bock Base, it is listed as 2043.
I’ve set the block in a straight set in this example:
And on point here:
A stronger diagonal presence is created when the block is set on point.

I have faithfully used Nancy J. Martin’s Perpetual Calendar 365 Quilt Blocks A Year since the calendar was published by That Patchwork Place in 1999.
More recently, I decided I would practice with Electric Quilt by drawing some of the blocks from this calendar.
Army Star is one of those blocks.
If you have Block Base, the block is listed as 1981 and is a slightly different version. The Kansas City Star printed the block in 1941-43.
Both blocks are based on an 8 x 8 grid.
Here is what Army Star looks like in a straight set:
I’ve put the block on point in the following design:
I suppose I could have been patriotic and used red, white and blue, but I didn’t think of it. I was concentrating on the design itself. I’ll play with color another time.

I know many of you Electric Quilt users know all about the Image/Symmetries tools, but I am now discovering them.
And oh what fun it is!
Upload an image to EQ7. Edit it to the Image Worktable. Click Image>Apply Symmetries>Circular (or Square).
Choose a petal shape and size and have fun!
Print templates to fussy cut and create beautiful kaleidoscope blocks. Or print your new design onto fabric and create pillows, totes, and so much more.
You can create so many wonderful projects with EQ7!
