New quilter I've never seen this block made before, I heard the name before. This was an excellent tutorial thank you.

We're happy you enjoy this quilt block tutorial. Thanks for watching! 💖⁠❄️ -Michelle

Thank you Jen. You explain everything clearly & precisely & you don't rush through it. I now feel confident that I will be able to make this block!

We're so happy this tutorial inspires you! Thank you very much for watching. -Michelle

Thanks for the video! Hourglass blocks are much easier to make using half square triangles though. No need to cut actual triangles!

@ShabbyFabrics 2 года назад

We're glad you enjoyed this tutorial! We do enjoy making Half Square Triangles too, this is just a different way to create this design. 💖 -Michelle

Your video’s are “real”. You show how the block is actually put together. Thank you. So many time a pattern has no explanation on which way to press the seams. You always show it so clearly and often twice which I appreciate. Correctly ironed seams lets you achieve the correct size block.

Every quilt I make is an Aunt Dinah Quilt. 😉 Seriously though, thank you for the video. I didn't know there was an Aunt Dinah quilt block until now.

@ShabbyFabrics 6 лет назад

How perfect for you, Dinah! We have a feeling this is going to be your new favorite block ;)

@Gen1-Rev22 6 лет назад

So happy to hear you like this quilt! Thank you so much for watching!

@margaridavelhinho1618 6 лет назад

Thank you. It´s beautiful. You are a very nice and very calm person. I like the way you explain things. Maybe I´ll try this project.

@ShabbyFabrics 6 лет назад

Thank you so much for this lovely feedback and for taking the time to watch our tutorial!!

Jen, thanks for the tips on working with flannels and this semi-scrappy quilt is lovely. But I wish you had sewn the seams before you cut into the hourglass fabric squares and avoided some of the bias risks. (There is at least one specialty ruler available for the hourglass unit, should you be so inclined.) That Cats Cradle ruler is going to be difficult to pass on if I run across it on future shopping trips. BTW, Tammy is a real treasure and I've always learned something from her/your tool videos.

@ShabbyFabrics 6 лет назад

Thank you so much for the feedback! We have found the precise pinning can really help prevent issues with bias! We totally agree - we learning something new from Tammy in every video as well!

@cindymcfarland4686 6 лет назад

The cat's cradle ruler is the greatest! Works very well.

@saraboulard4730 6 лет назад

You can see around the whole square and then cut corner to corner and you won’t have to worry about pinning, wonky corners or loosing your tips into the feed dogs

@ShabbyFabrics 4 года назад

Thanks for sharing that tip! - Morgan

@rhondaschellin8878 3 года назад

Have you thought about sewing the quarter square triangle before you cut? It's MUCH easier!

@ShabbyFabrics 3 года назад

Great suggestion! We'll pass that along. ;) - Beth

@jayfpv9376 6 лет назад

Thank you, Jen. A lot of this is familiar to me as my ex-wife graduated from the Fashion Institute, Los Angeles (I.e. Project Runway TV show.) Very interesting.

@ShabbyFabrics 6 лет назад

We love how lots of sewing skills can cross-over between crafting, quilting, and clothing design!!

@sandyaxner7381 6 лет назад

Beautiful

@ShabbyFabrics 6 лет назад

Thank you so much!

@rhandidemars8164 6 лет назад

to avoid your fabric being drawn down into where the bobbin use a starter and an ender with your pieces. It really helps to avoid that happening.

@ShabbyFabrics 6 лет назад

Yes! We love that technique! Thanks for sharing that tip with us :)

Cool block /quilt! Btw, I didn't know a Singer could have a 'extended tray'. What kind of Singer is that? Thanks. ❤

@ShabbyFabrics 6 лет назад

This is a Singer Professional machine :) So happy you like the block! Thanks for watching!

Did you wash the flannel first?

@ShabbyFabrics 6 лет назад

Pre-washing fabric is a personal preference! With these flannels, it isn't necessary because it is 100% cotton so it won't distort in the was. It will also not bleed when washed!

@gypsysmom7096 6 лет назад

I was more concerned with shrinkage than bleeding.
