The Strip Squares Quilt Tutorial - Easy and Fast to Make! 

I'm glad you like the pattern Constance 😊. I love the selections that they send us. I was a bit iffy about the mushrooms at first glance, but they worked out okay.

Thank you for your lovely comment Linda 😊

Thank you 😊. It was do much easier and more fun putting it together this way, and doing it in strips was such a time saver.

I'm glad you like it 😊

Thank you 😊. Sewing everything in strips makes it easier. Just take your time and press the seams so that they nest together when you are pinning the pieces together. This will help with lining up the squares so that they match nicely.

The more you sew, the more skill you gain. Keep at it!

Thank you 😊. I'm glad to hear you liked the tutorial.

Thank you Lucy ☺️. I was pleased with the result considering we just went for it and didn't make a prototype first.

Thank you 😊. I wasn't to sure on the mushrooms when I opened the box, but they had quite grown on me by the time I finished the quilt. I was very pleased with how it turned out.

I am so happy to hear that you liked the tutorial Stacy and found it helpful. You can send me a photo to contact@ alandacraft.com or here is a link to our readers projects www.alandacraft.com/submit-your-project/. We would love to see your quilt.

Thank you 😊. I was pleased with how it turned our and it's a nice easy one to make using our strip method.

Thank you Elizabeth 😊. Oh yes, we made sure those mushrooms were right way up lol.

Thank you for your lovely comment.😊

Thank you 😊. I wasn't too sure about the mushrooms when I opened the box, but they worked out well in the end.

@alandacraft I immediately loved the print when you first showed it LOL! I love mushies though.

You are going to have to make two of these now. One using our method and one using the charm pack you mentioned in your other comment.

We are always looking for the easy way to do things. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. This one did ☺️

Thank you 😊, me too

Thank you Deborah 😊

Excellent. It came together really well and it was so easy to work with after cutting those bits into strips.

Thank you Karen 😊. I certainly prefer doing it this way, but that's just me.

I think it would look awesome with charm squares. It's obviously going to take you a bit longer since you will have to cut all of the sashing separately but I think it will be worth it.

The method should work with any size strips, Amber. But as I haven't used those sized strips I can't comment on how the end quilt will look. When I am trying something new I tend make a small item, placemat etc just to check what it will look like or I use EQ8 to help me design a quilt.

The written instruction link is in the description. All the measurements are given in the video anyway, so a written pattern isn’t really necessary, I think you should apologise for your comment.

From me to your Mom: She provided the cuts measures in addition to spending time making a video to show you how to put it together--and, she's not asked to to buy a damn thing.

Well that made us feel really sad. The fact is that we are only two people working on this channel - we don’t have any staff that can run around and create for us, we do it all ourselves. And the amount of work and money that goes into these tutorials is enormous. First of all, we have to research and design the quilt and that can take 3 or 4 hours at a minimum. Then we have to go out and spend time searching for fabric that will work and generally we have to buy double the quantity in case what we have designed doesn’t work the first time. We were very fortunate to be sent some beautiful fabric by Cotton Cuts for this one, so that saved us a step. Then we have have to make the quilt - we usually do a prototype first before recording to make sure everything is going to work out okay, so that you don't waste time and money. So this is already 3 or 4 days work even before we even start filming. Filming can take a full day and sometimes two for a quilt like this. Next we have to edit the video and that can take another full day and sometimes more. The blog post has to be written and photos added and that can also take about half a day or more more. Generally one of us does the blog post while the other edits the video. Then we need to create thumbnails and other graphics so that’s more time. So when you say that we aren't kind because we don't provide a PDF document that is heartbreaking. And actually we do have a PDF function at the bottom of every post, so you can download all the measurements and step by step instructions. And all this is at no cost to you.

Ooooh some peoples Children!!! I personally truly appreciate your tutorials and look forward to all of them!!! They are wonderfully and skillfully presented. Anyone watching these videos has a great chance of being successful, because of your time and patience and careful teaching skills. Not one step is left out. And all of the measurements are included! AND FOR FREE !!! I couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you ladies, for being so very generous❤🎉
