I believe the 1st 5" cut from the 5x10 piece was miscut at 4 1/2. He should have only had to make 1- 5" cut with 5" left over. I really love a FQ friendly pattern!
You're right Teancum. The Clearly Perfect Slotted Trimmer Ruler is great! I've been using it for a while. It makes getting exactly sized half square triangles so easy. Being able to trim off the tips immediately after squaring saves time. No going back to trim those later :) 👍 on the pattern. Thanks for sharing. 💖

If you cut the vertical and horizontal lines on the 10” squares first, it’s easier as the other 2 cuts are between sewn pieces. More accurate, less fussing.
Sorry about the question but I am math challenged - I am thinking I could use a layer cake for this...would it be 2 layer cakes? I love these techniques....thank you for sharing. Cheers from Canada
It looks like you need 112 10” squares , I think you would need 3 layer cakes and you will have some left over. You will get the 4-5” squares from 1 10” square. That is how I came up with the 112 10” squares needed.
@@barbarabaker346 thank you ... I was thrown off by so many triangles and couldn’t get it straight. I guess fat quarters would be way more economical than the layer cakes. 🙂 appreciate the help 🙂
what size do you cut the triangles, I don't have any triangle rulers, I am going to buy afew meters of fabric as that would work out cheaper for me then buying fat quarters
Hello! Thanks for watching! I have included the link to the pattern that has all the cutting information you need. Happy quilting! www.dropbox.com/s/rda7ltfn2v40rjl/Crazy%208's%20Quilt%20Pattern.pdf?dl=0
I was thinking that too til I realized it was the shape of the fat quarter. If you are near a quilting store you could buy 10” or 20” yardage pieces instead🙂
I think this a good demonstration. However, I cannot understand why quilters on videos do not press the fabric before cutting the fabric. For goodness sake please get rid of the wrinkles and creases before cutting.
You should ALWAYS iron your fabric first!! Especially fat quarters which are folded multiple times as this can affect the accuracy of your cuts! No offense but dang that white fabric is cheap, when you can see everything underneath it because it is so thin, it is a cheap fabric.
