Maybe use an 18mm rotary cutter with the 1.5” block lock ruler. 😊

I buy those little cutting mats at the dollar tree. I use it when I’m having to square up a lot of trimming up blocks.

1 1/2” blocks not in my vocabulary lol!

OMG girl you got that right. Yes to chips and salsa, yes to chocolate and peanut butter and oh yes to Shemar Moore and no shirt 😜

Shirtless Shamar . . . Yes, please! Oh yeah, Bloc Locs are amazing too! 😂

My favorite tool combo right now is my stripology xl ruler and a five pound hand weight (I've been doing a lot of cutting, lol!)

I'm currently trimming 1.5" HSTs with my 6.5" Blockloc. I'm trying to minimise the number of rulers I buy, but I can definitely see that the 1.5'" Blockloc with a tiny mat would speed up my process. And it's cute!

I cannot love my bloc loc rulers more! But the best thing: I have a reallly old tv tray that has a small lip on the edges, my omnigrid flip mat fits perfectly inside this lip! I take that old tv tray to retreats, put it next to me, and I can cut or press without having to get up!!

Oh yes! Here we are again, saving the same little pieces. I'm eager to see what you make with those 1-1/2" HSTs. I keep 'em, too, and have become enamored making little mini quilts with them.

I loved the video especially the opening It had me laughing. Love the diamond quilt in the back. I ordered a few things. Take care of yourself hugs.

My fav is my 4-1 tool that has a burnisher, seam ripper & stiletto. Easy to pack and take for sew dates😊

I love love my omnigrid mat too! The firmness of the press side is wonderful. And I always have a mechanical pencil at hand along with gridded paper.

Chocolate and peanut butter yummy. I love my sew and flip corners need that little bloc loc ruler.

I'm not a fan of Frixon pens either. I don't like that they don't completely disappear and i don't like the way they drag on the fabric leaving an erratic line.

I bought that small mat at Dollar Tree, it works great and I also love Sewline marking tools have used them for years.

My favorite duo is a 28mm rotary cutter and swivel mat for trimming and traveling.

Freezer paper and a printer. 😊

Hello Beautiful!😍 I just watched Merry Mabel Market making a “Donut” quilt. When she does her stitch and flip corners she makes the tiny HST’s with the extra corners. She’s planning a video with what she makes with them. I can’t wait to see what you make with yours. I just acquired the Omnigrid press and cut mat. I LOVE it. ( I got it for $12 at an auction🎉) Happy cutting.

Thanks, Amy. That was a fun episode! I love 1 1/2" squares, HSTs, and strips. It's my go-to size. Even though they're stupidly expensive, I bought the 1 1/2" and 2 1/2" bloc locs - didn't know they existed! I was using the larger bloc loc for small HSTs, but the small ones will save a lot of time and fiddling. And bought a small cutting mat, too. I've tried at lease three rotating mats, and they just make me nuts.

Wow! I don't think I would ever actively use 1.5 inch blocks certainly not enough to create a whole quilt! I have never seen a sandpaper mat...I am intrigued ❤

You mean spotify and car play? lol I guess you could name your playlist mixed tape. Love that little Bloc Loc; I need to get one of those. Have a wonderful week.

❤❤❤

My Rowena travel iron is my favorite iron. I love that you make 1.5 inch HSTs. Adorable.

You had me at Shemar. I used to watch him with my grandma on YR back in the day. Age has just made him better. 😂

Once the large cuttingmat is going in the garbage cut out the size You prefer from a piece that is not worn 😂

I miss your purple hair! The block lock tool looks very helpful, I will look for it in the sizes that I use. I always enjoy your videos. You’re practical with a tiny edge, my style, too!

Yes Shemar!!!

Sand paper --- great idea. I am glad to see you and going. 🎶💐💖🫂
