Block 1- 2024 Scrappy Sampler Mystery Block of the Week- card trick quilt block tutorial 

You are so welcome!

Glad it was helpful! Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

Thanks so much 😊

Thank you! I hope you did too!

I can't make them all free because this is how I make money for my family but I do one, big free one a year and this is the one! I hope you enjoy making the blocks!

Thanks for watching!

I think that's wonderful!

I hope you are well soon but no rush for the patterns. They will continue to be available.

I think that would work beautifully! I do that often where I use low volumes in the blocks and then a solid white or cream in the setting. I hope you have fun sewing along!

If I turned it 45 degrees, I would still cut triangles to set it.

Thanks! I'm not sure. I'm using a wide variety of 30s prints. They are not all from the same collections. When I am looking for prints like these, I just search '30s reproduction fabric' on Etsy or from other online fabric shops.

Thanks! In the video, I don't usually mention the sizes. You'll need the block pattern. You can find it here- jessicadayon.blogspot.com/2023/12/2024-scrappy-sampler-block-1.html

haha, reason I didn't hear the size. Thanks for the address where to find it....enjoy your day

I usually get it from Etsy.

There are not instructions. However, the two at a time is very close to the one at a time. When you cut the square, just don't cut it on the diagonal and then use sew the two squares at 1/4" from the center line on each side. Using the square size that I say in the cutting, will give you exact without trimming. But, if you just cut it bigger, and do the two at a time method, you'll have a bigger HST and you'll be able to trim it to size. It doesn't matter how big you start- you could do 1/8" bigger, 1/4" bigger, 1/2" bigger, etc...

@@jessica_dayon Thank you so much.

There are no fabric requirements for the blocks. You can choose to do it however you'd like. Here I am doing a multi color one but on Instagram, I am also making a red and white one.

I am using #2024scrappysampler

Hi Jessica. Thanks for the link. It gives me a picture but doesn't tell me what to cut or how to sew it together. I feel like I'm missing something here. Is that on the video?@@jessica_dayon

You need to scroll down in the blog post and find the part that says- You can download the PDF for Block 1 HERE. Click on the word 'HERE' and the download will open (which contains all of the cutting sizes and instructions).

Maybe you don't want to make mistakes or you are worried you won't be able to make the blocks. But, from experience, I can tell you that you will make mistakes! That is meant to be freeing, not discouraging. I make so many mistakes- all. the. time. I try not to get caught up with it, knowing that every mistake is also a learning experience. As you go through your quilting journey, the frequency of mistakes lessens but I don't think they ever stop completely. I think you should give it a try! When I first started, I wasn't in love with the look of a sampler but I tried one and fell in love. Now, I adore making samplers. They are great for learning new blocks, but at the same time, not committing making a whole quilt of each block. You learn new techniques and practice things that you many not have picked out for yourself to learn or make. Also, in terms of the tiny pieces being used my this quilt sometimes- the first time I made a 1 1/2" half square triangle (HST), it was horrible but when I went back to make a larger size HST for another quilt, I saw a huge improvement in my accuracy. Never has a technique in quilting improved my accuracy like piecing with tiny pieces. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Wait, I found it. When clicking on schedule, click the back arrow at the top left. This will take you to the block pattern (in case anyone else did, what I was doing- fyi).
