I love how different they all are. I think over time it would be easy to make them all. Making this scrappy block between other projects would make for a lot of blocks really quickly.
Hi! I hope you had a delightful day. I just got my first chance to sit down and watch your video because it has been a fun sewing day for me. I hope you have a lovely week ahead. Thank you for sharing your video and your talent.
Another new subscriber here! I am so glad that I stumbled across this video and found you! I am going to make this block for sure, although I haven't decide which layout I want to use yet. They are all so cool! Thank you so much!
That’s why I love EQ8…you can put the blocks in, change colors and rotate blocks to discover so my “hidden” designs-0-I print them out and let them sit before I finalize my design
We ( me an my sewing pal) made one for each of us. of the step quilt ( king size) and we have 2 more to make for wedding presents, April and August. We have so much left over material, We just love this patterns, we have put every thing on hold till the wedding quilts are done thank you for your great ideas. P.
I just found you and subscribed. This is the second video I've seen. I love the geometry (retired math teacher) of your designs and the step by step, thorough, well paced method of your tutorials. Your new friend from New Mexico. 🎶💐💖🫂
Yes! And if you turn it so the lights are horizontal and the darks are vertical, it really looks like stair steps. Very three dimensional! I just love it! Your whole process shows the “art” at the heart of quilting.
I just found you. Amazing! I Iove the third one. But I like the first one also. You've got yourself a new subscriber. And I've got me soms new items on my to-do-list. Thank you for your time and sharing!
You just popped up like magic so I’ve watched, subscribed and liked. I admire people who are willing to share their talents and passions as you are doing. I like #2 best, followed by #3. The first one is too angular for my taste. I’m one who prefers precision cutting so I always cut my pieces to exact size before I sew. That helps me with accurate sewing and blocks don’t need trimming. So I was fascinated by your approach: the 5” rectangles didn’t bother you a bit because you knew you could just trim later. So here I was, cringing at the extra fabric and enjoying your discussion/demo of your precision approach to trimming at the same time! I truly enjoy seeing the different paths people take to their quilting destinations. Have you watched The Questioning Quilter channel? You and Brita remind me of each other.
Your tutorial just "happened" to show up & I was so excited that it did. I have wanted to make this pattern for a while. You make it look so easy and I especially appreciate the variations. THANKS!
Hello, you came up on my feed and I’m so glad! I love “trompe l’oeil” quilts, they are my favorites. These ideas will help me get unstuck on my current quilt. Thank you! Liked & Subscribed.
When I use a regular ruler to cut the hst I mark wit with a piece of masking tape for quick easy placement. Love the quilts ....I have no idea which one I like best...
Oh my goodness! I just discovered you and have watched about 4 of your videos, all of which were added to my to-do list. Thank you for your simple instructions that lead to fabulous quilts.
Wow! I have never done a scrappy quilt design before…. But I’m really loving all three of these quilt designs and may have to finally tackle a scrappy quilt! Thanks for sharing your creativity with us!! 💜
I love that with each option you became more excited. You thought you'd do the first option because that's the one that originally intrigued you. I love that you/we stay open to what comes to us as we create!
The middle one seems to appeal to me. They are all lovely really. Just go to show what you can do with scraps. You made my heart smile watching this. I thank you from New Zealand
I like one & three because it is like an optical illusion. I just bought, "Stunning 3-D Quilts book by Ruth Ann Berry (C & T Publishing) and it is truly an awesome work of art. I'm into modern rather than traditional. Your ideas are GREAT!
My favorite are the last two. So many possibilities gets the thinker going😊 off to my happy place to go play with fabric. Thank you so very much for sharing your visions. 🪡🧵💖
Guten Morgen aus Hamburg in Deutschland! Mein Mann ist total verliebt in dieses Design und ich werde ihm einen Quilt nähen. Vielen lieben Dank für Deine tolle Anleitung, für Deine Mühe und super verständliche Erklärung. 🌺👏
I liked all three layouts. Your second option made me think of a kid at a circus with pinwheels everywhere. I don’t know which one was my favorite. I liked all of them.
I’ve been watching you all day. I unsubscribe to 3 other channels and added you. You are brilliant and easy to learn from. Thank you for working while you teach. 👍👍
You go use jelly roll strips for the whole thing too! See them in sets of 3 with the white in the center. Then cut into blocks. Sew 2 squares along-side the diagonal and voila! Cut the diagonal & You have 2 squares!! 🤩
Wow I I am loving your work. I saw you on my list of what I call ‘this may interest you’ list, and you did. I have been sewing clothes and things for some sixty years and now I absolutely love quilting. Just started trying, faked my way through a panel and a couple of baby quilts. Your tutorial is great, my ruler will be delivered tomorrow, today I am cutting strips. Thanks for this video, I am going to love making it. Thank you for sharing.
I made this quilt with scraps from apparel sewing and leftover fabric from a quilt as you go hexagon quilt I made last summer. Thanks for the great instructions.
Thank you, Thank you!! I truly want to make all 3!!! They all have great appeal to me. I appreciate your teaching quality, so glad you shared this video.
I was captured by the many options for laying out these squares once you had your blocks sewn. Thanks for the tutorial! I'm going to make this my second ever quilt. I made a quilt as you go hexagon one last summer. Just getting into quilting and this looks like so many options from one simple block.
Hi, I've been looking for an amazing quilt to make for my artistic son, who's turning 24 next month. Your quilt tutorial was a blessing! You're an excellent teacher, and the video is so easy to follow. Thank you for also giving us the cutting instruments for free. Many blessings to you, I'm hooked. Thanks again. 😊
These are awesome!! You have inspired me to try this block and to attempt my floating block quilt already kitted up. Your enthusiasm is contagious. You now have a new subscriber from NC. Your work is stunning. My favorite is the first one.
Love tie design possibilities you come up with.. I started making this block scrappy in my fav-- turquoise, purple n blue, Wish I had the know-how to send you a pic but I don't. So: when I started laying it out, my son LOVED the way it formed a cross in the center. With a turquoise cross in the center, I changed to purple for the next round, then a round of blue and ending with turquoise corners to make it twin size quilt. You have SO many innovative designs and I'd love to try them all but--too many other irons in the fire.
If you’re using a square ruler to cut the HSTs, put a strip of masking tape across the corner connecting the two 2.5” marks. You won’t have to “find” the marks for each cut, and the tape “ledge” catches the seam line to keep your cuts accurate! Once you place your tape, make a couple trial HSTs and adjust the tape until your HSTs are perfectly accurate.
Now you’re going to have to make 3 quilts. Thank you for sharing I think I’m going to have all 3 this is nice for a beginner. I’m new to your channel you popped up on my RU-vid. I hope you’re having a blessed day God bless you and your family.
THIS LOOKS AMAZING!!!! Do you maybe have some written instructions and the measurements. I’m sure people who have been quilting for years could just whip this out after watching….but I am new to quilting and can’t! I would love to make this, I think it’s doable for a beginner, right? Please let me know if you have written instructions and where I can get them!
This design is definitely beginner-friendly. I've listed the measurements in the description below the video. I do not have written instructions at this point, but you can for sure do this. I am self-taught and have learned everything about quilting mostly from watching tutorials & learning techniques. Please give it a try and I am more than willing to help you in any way I can, even if that means a personal conversation. You've got this!
Thank you….I was just watching your other tutorials when you responded. I’m not sure why my brain doesn’t comprehend quilt patterns well, I have ordered patterns and don’t understand them, I’ve watched tutorials and tried writing instructions down as I watch and then I don’t understand exactly what I wrote down when I go to make the quilt!!! I will watch your tutorial a few more times and if I can get just one block done, then I’ll be OK……I am so impressed with the looks of this quilt. I have over 20 button up shirts that were my sons and I would like to make a quilt for his children with them and YOUR COOL PATTERN!!!!
Found you from ‘Conquering Mount Scrapmore with Brenda’. Now I have to go and make this block! Thanks for showing me the different layouts. I love scrap quilts.
I love your o'lipfa mini ruler. Thanks for sharing your inspiration. I often see tile patterns that inspire me. Doing this type of problem solving (inspiration to execution!) really helps solidify skills. If one wanted a little more efficient fabric utilization, the strip tube strips could have been a wee bit narrower to align the tip of ruler with stitching line. I love my Martelli trimmer!
