I absolutely love your videos you explain things in simple terms and I love that you have tons of fun I also adore Michael Miller fabrics. Love love love the colors
I made a Double Friendship Star quilt using red, black & gray. Turned out beautiful for my daughter's best friend since 2nd grade. Thwy both graduate from high school next year.
Churn Dash was the first quilt block I made with HSTs and Friendship Star was the first star block I made. Those 2 blocks, along with Disappearing Pinwheels and Log Cabin are still at the top of my list of favorites
New sub here. Having fun, that’s what Jerry Garcia said life was all about. Kudos. What’s up with the quilt in the background. It reminds me of the Volcom logo. Let’s make that! I’m kinda new at quilting but have made 9 quilts since I started when covy hit. So refreshing to see a gentleman doing quilts. Right on.
Love your colors. And I like how you explain the mechanics of building the half square triangles, it makes more sense in my brain more. Thank you Rob!!
Yes, it is a parallelogram (has at least 2 opposite sides that are parallel-)one of my kids is just finishing this at school or I wouldn't remember either! And I love your energy and humor in these tutorials. Thanks for the tutorials (really helpful and fun) and the good vibes we all can use especially these days.
It would be cute if each of the friendship stars had a miniature sampler (ex: 9-patch, 4-patch, wonky star, pinwheel, etc) that came from a mini block swap!
Your ruler looks like a Quilter's Select and I have that one and like it but I also have the Creative Grids ~~Itty-bitty eights(?) or whatever is called. I don't use it often but maybe it world help some folks. Plus adding the highlighter tape.
The brand of my chalk pencil - Rob Appell Customs, haha and you can purchase the limited availability tools at www.robappell.com I also take requests, shoot me an email and I can make you your own.
The Friendship star is the only block I have never been able to do. All instructions make them with half square triangles. We can see that. But where is the quarter inch so that you don't lose the point in your star??? I'm totally baffled and no one shows how to get that quarter in into the half square triangle. Help please.
7/8… why ? If you are not a “perfect” cutter the square might end up smaller and needed to be redone. Much easier to round, instead of 3 7/8 cut 4. And then resize the final square.
