How to make disappearing quilt blocks - 4 different shapes - unlimited designs! with Tulip Square 

We use these techniques in these two quilted placemat patterns, available on our website: tulipsquare.com/patterns/product/rainbow-weave-quilted-placemat-pattern-615/ tulipsquare.com/patterns/product/mirror-image-quilted-placemats-pattern-623/

I put some of my fabrics in the photocopier then cut up sheets of the actual prints, to design my first sampler quilt. Then stuck the pieces together again so as to not get my layout messed up. Just lay the fabric pieces on the copied pieces to get it sorted out.

I am amazed. I'm a new quilter, limping my way through pot holders. This has been like watching a magician - my mouth is hanging open. Thanks so much for opening new doors.

I’m glad you show us the steps in sewing and cutting without actually doing it each step of the way. . I assume that those watching your excellent tutorials already know how to sew and cut. So watching sewing is redundant. Your tutorials are concise and to the point. I also like that you don’t do a lot of talking off subject. Thank you! You have the best tutorials on RU-vid

The most useful tutorial yet! Came at exactly when I needed it.😊

This is by far one or the best Quilt instructions on line for beginners

I know you did this video years ago but you have taught me so much, im new to quilting and I could watch you all day cutting and moving the pieces around

I am fascinated with the idea. Thank you for showing us so many different options.

I LOVE the idea of using construction paper to try out a new design. Something so simple but makes so much since. A New fan.

This is the second time I've watched this tutorial to refresh my mind on how to do these kind of blocks. I'm so grateful to be able to re-watch something as many times as needed! Thank you for this very well done tutorial. I look forward to more tutorials from Tulip Square. Blessings to y'all.

Thank you for doing you tube and keeping these tutorials up so we can watch and learn.

EXCELLENT ! Thank you for sharing your experience. 🧵🪡🪡❤

Wow thank you so much, i am a fairly new quilter having tried to make a disappearing 9 patch first for my grandson and making a block surrounded by triangles to make a star effect with wee checquered block as the other block, this i'm still to finish because the pattern was for a single bed and i wanted it for a kingsize. Anyway, seeing all the different designs you could make with simple blocks to start with was absolutely magical. And thank you for showing how each step of the way should look, because as a newbie really it opened my eyes and mind to the patterns that could be done with a simple block.

You are the best teacher I found, very clear o structions, without talking unecessary things. Thanks a lo!😊

This is my new favorite channel. Your directions are straightforward and easy to understand. Thank

I have watched all your tutorial blocks and love your suggestions and your finished blocks. Wish I would have known about your tutorials years ago!❤❤❤

Very cool! Thank you for sharing these ideas! 💖💕💖

I was so amazed that I just had to try them out. All day I worked on completing sets of these. So much fun. What a great teacher you are.

Thank you for sharing your quilting knowledge. I enjoy watching your tutorials and instructions on how easy it is to make quilting blocks. I am a new beginner quilter and it’s exciting to see how to make complicated blocks look so easy. Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge. 😊

Yes ma'am absolutely marvelous. You gave us a lot of ideas and I love the way you did it. Keep them coming

Thank you for sharing your experience with us ! !

I love the way you hop up and down when you say you are the mother half of the duo.

I have seen only a couple of disappearing block versions in the past...so I am happy I found your video. I like the way you show the options...and the suggestion to practice on paper is good for many reasons. When cutting apart blocks we are getting into "bias country" and need to gently handle the sub-sections because bias edges stretch readily and stretch is the enemy of fitting pieces back together.

This is fantastic. You have made what seemed so complicated so easy. I am making Christmas stockings for my new family this year. I cannot wait!

I love this video. So many wonderful ideas. Thank Yous much for sharing your knowledge and talent. I am fairly new to quilting, and I could sit and watch quilting videos all day. I love all the ideas and techniques I am learning.

Thanks so much for the tutorial video. So many options to chose from! Excited to get sewing. Now just have to decide which pattern to start with first! Thanks again

What a great tutorial! Thank you for showing so many options!

So many wonderful patterns from such simple shapes! I think I like the ones made with 5 strips the best. This is a great video for beginners (like me!)

This is one of the best tutorials I have ever seen! THANK YOU!! 1:48 😊

Photocopying is an excellent suggestion for us new quilter. Excellent tutorials 😊
