I think the trick is that the side triangles are cut from a rectangle...that's what keeps the points right. I am usually pretty good at putting a block on graph paper, but I also knew it wouldn't work so well with this pattern. I think I've got it now, thanks to all the wonderful links you all have provided!

and fyi-if you go to Bonnie Hunters site she has a section-think it's called tips and techniques- that explains things and has a chart to say if you want to set a block on point for instance-start with your 4" block and you need a ___" inch to set it on point.

I've seen it referred to Hidden Square but I'm not sure.
Here's a tutorial that I've saved.

Love the links provided in this thread for this technique.
Especially helpful is this one so the units can be made in various sizes:
And last a calculator to make the size that you want.
