I sold out of the New Earth charm packs but I do have Delilah charm packs still in the shop and trust me they are gorgeous! www.etsy.com/listing/1399462154/delilah-charm-pack-pre-cut-fabric-5
Glad you enjoyed it! It is so hard to tell how something will actually take when tutorials are sped up. I thought it would be something fun and different.
Great idea! I plan to make this with charm squares that I just purchased. I was thinking that if the 2.5” squares were instead cut to 2.5” x 5”, they could be sewn on to the end before cutting the strips in half. It might save a bit of time and effort.
Watching you correct your mistakes makes me so happy. Whenever I make mistakes in the future I will remember this video and go forward and try to salvage my piecing. Thank you. 😊
I decided to see how long it would take me with a layer cake! It took me just about 2 hours. I did cut my LC squares in half first. 😅 my LC version came out 52 x 67! A perfectly sized throw. Thanks for the inspiration!!!!
I'm so glad to see that you did do one with a layer cake! That was my first thought after seeing this. Glad to know the size it came out!!! Ok, got up this morning, cyphered this out! Thought it was 5 blocks wide (plus the 4 1/2" finished block)-which came up to 52" by 7 rows-cut in half making it 14 rows-which would technically be 4.5" x 14-but that's only 63". What am I cyphering wrong?? LOL Thanks for any input 😊😊
I thought about it but since the 2.5” squares are only on one side of the strip all of the leftovers would just go into the scrap pile. I was trying to find a way to have minimal scraps but use up as much of the charm pack as possible.
I like the tip about backstitching the outside in case I don't quilt it right away. I love that you didn't stop the clock, it's more realistic. I'm glad you kept the uh-oh moment in. The fabric is great and I may actually do this one.
Fallon, I love it. Didn't look that way until it was all together and it is so charming, (charm-ing) Thanks for doing this. We sometimes get stuck in our heads what can and can not work out. Just gotta go for it.
This is a very pretty, very quick sew! I think if each row of 10 began with a 2.5x5" half charm, you could cut and flip and still have your offset without dealing with all of those little 2.5" squares. Thank you for all of the great content!
So, to save cutting! Instead you could cut the 5” square in half and sew the 2.5” piece to the end as you are chain piecing. ThEN when you cut the 5” strips in half the end piece is a 2.5” square. 😀
I made one similar to yours except I put 2.5 inch white squares in between each 2.5x5 inch rectangle. I wasn’t thinking(and I know better) but I starched mine, bad idea because it didn’t turn out all the same length and I had to take part of it apart and add to it so I didn’t have to cut off quite as much on the ends to make it even. I was so mad, but I made it work. I did 30 rows and put a 3 inch white border around it. It looks cute.😊
I will probably press 2 rows at a time, will the clapped rests on one I will be pressing the other. Just going back and forth. I usually listen to music while sewing anyway.
To save a little time, you could sew two rows together and then while they are RST, cut them in half, measuring from the stitched side. Then, you interchange them with others. I hope this makes sense.
This is a great idea! Combine it with my idea of half charms at the beginning of each row. Sew down BOTH sides of two rows (with one flipped, offset) THEN cut down the middle.
I would have sewn all blocks into pairs. Then sew the pairs into 4's. Sew the 4's together. That way you are not handling a increasingly larger quilt over and over.
I absolutely plan to make this quilt! Thank you so much for sharing all of your patterns. I have loved coming across your channel and how real you are.
I love it! Gonna see if I can apply it to my small quilt in progress. I already have some sashing between the squares, but it might look good. I’ll see!!
My mom made the quilt top back in the 70s. She sent it to me to finish up for her. A long armer in my neighborhood did a beautiful job quilting it and I just need to bind it. There is a video on my channel where I shared some full photos of it.
Seems easy enough! And helps me break in to all those charm squares I’ve been holding on to. But I do have a question for you. If I make HSTs out of charm packs do I need a 5” or a 4 1/2 trim lock tool?
I like this one. I quite often have to dig into my stash, that's what the stash is there for IMO, sometimes to fix a mistake and sometimes to make the quilt bigger. To make this quilt slightly quicker I would cut the left over squares into 2.5" by 5" and sew them on at the first stage before cutting the strips in half.
I think the one that you felt was wrong looks twisted on the right hand side so may have slipped while stitching.. unless it’s the cutting . Haha.do not worry it just goes to show even experienced sewers, still have problems, makes the new folk go,sewing feel a bit better. Haha. Really like what you have done thank you for sharing.
Yes! I first thought about that then I thought all the cut off 2.5” would go into my scraps. I wanted to use up as much as I could. But I could have done that on half the rows and added the cut off 2.5” to the other half of the rows.
It's a wonderful thing to not spend a lot of time sewing blocks in particularly when you're stressed and don't want to stress anymore just relaxing and fun project. But I am more interested in perfection. Not slapping things together. In the long run you'll have a prettier quilt and well done.. quality and not so much quantity🙂
I have projects that I spend more time on as well. It just depends on the mood I am in when I sit down to sew… that dictates what project I pull out to work on.
I wo der if you could use a fat quarter bundle and a jelly roll and make this itll take longer then what it took you but i have both i really like for this
I have been planning a brick wall quilt but I thought I had to use 2 1/2” x 4 1/2” bricks and sew them all together. This is SEW much easier and faster. I love it.
Very cute. For an even faster quilt you could cut half your squares. Then sew 1 full square row, one half square row. This one would have less seams and be a bit larger. Thanks for sharing and be blessed.
Thank you for the informative presentation of charm packs. I’m fairly new to this business so any information I can get is really helpful. I was wondering where you got your bolts of material. I’ve newer seen them for sale before. Thank you in advance. myrLene stevens
Fallon, what would happen if you made sure the same print wasn't just right above or below the same print as you're adding them to rows? Then just sew row 1 to row 2. As long as they weren't directional (so none would be upside down) you wouldn't have to cut any apart. I saw you had 3 rose squares in a column so knew it wouldn't work, but you cut the rows apart so I knew you weren't going in that direction in my head...
I am very much a Sew Be It quilter. But you are very right... You could get a much more balanced quilt if you spend time laying out the blocks and planning them better.
@@sewbeitquilts no ma'am, I wasn't criticizing your methods. When you said you were going to not cut the rows apart I thought you would fold the top row down and sew it to the second row across. Do you see what I meant?
Nice tutorial! Couldn't you have just cut each row smaller instead of adding extra fabric to each end? Like cut off a 2.5 inch piece to one end of each row. 😊
So what are the measurements please? I think I will try it using 2 charm packs Your quilt is just beautiful! Will that make it big enough for an adult?
Before slicing your rows in half, you could have added a 2.5 x 5 inch piece to one end and then slice them in half saving a step. When you flip them over, you would still have a good mix. Just a thought.
Great tutorial, being “real” is always refreshing. Add your design and personality makes for a perfectly relaxing experience. Will definitely be making this quilt!
My husband uses a few different types of wood. He did some research to see what would work best. He doesn’t stain them it is just the natural wood. The only thing he does to bring out the natural wood is wax it and he even makes his own wax.
Is there a reason why you didn't cut your 5 inch squares in half to begin with? Or cut the long row fold over and cut in half then instead of trying to cut then in half in a long row? Is it because of bias??
Honestly it’s usually just how my brain decides to wing it. Sometimes during the process I see how I could have improved things. But as long as the quilt is done and turns out how I envisioned it then I am happy!
I think when I make this I will use 1 full charm pack of prints, 1 full charm pack worth of solid/tonals (not all the same color) and find enough coordinating solo charms (these are the biggest stack in my scraps so far) so I can fudge it enough to not have a solid 2-1/2” square on either end. Maybe. I’m not against solids on the ends except that when I look at quilt tops I’ve laid out, my eye goes right to them. Not in other people’s quilts. It is strange. I think I need to get over it and just finish a freaking quilt, LOL. This is a great project, Fallon! It’s easy enough for a beginner yet looks harder than it is. More advanced folks can just use it as a relaxing in-between project breather if doing heavy piecing most of the time.
Thank you for this wonderful pattern. Your math was right, but you need to assemble the top differently. I put mine together - eight rows of charm pack fabric - each row having ten (you showed ten rows having 8 a piece). Then when I cut my rows in half, that gave me 16 rows, not twenty. The quilt might be perpendicular to the one you demonstrated, but I only needed the 4 remaining fabrics cut into 2.5" starter squares to shape the bricks, and didn't have to look in my stash for one more 5" square. Love this pattern. Thanks!
I love this! I found a sticker today that says “Pretty girls don’t do math” lol I have some of that fabric in yardage. I’m going to make this soon! So pretty 💜
I sold out of the New Earth charm packs but I do have Delilah charm packs still in the shop and trust me they are gorgeous!

Thank you I am particularly looking for bride and Deep Purple with teal and a packet of tail with purple. Thank you
Thanks for not editing out the "oops" moments. And for timing the quilt making. So much more realistic expectations. Cute fabric.
Glad you enjoyed it! It is so hard to tell how something will actually take when tutorials are sped up. I thought it would be something fun and different.
I live in Kentucky ,in Amish country and there is a HWI hardware store that had a fabric department, bolt fabric and everyevery thing for sewing.
Great idea! I plan to make this with charm squares that I just purchased. I was thinking that if the 2.5” squares were instead cut to 2.5” x 5”, they could be sewn on to the end before cutting the strips in half. It might save a bit of time and effort.

Adding this to 1 of my toppers I want to make! The tiny foopah is nothing but so glad you showed how easy of a fix it was. ❤
Thank you Darla!
Wouldn't it be simpler to cut your end pieces 5"x 2.5" and sew them on the ends BEFORE you cut the rows in half?
I thought about it but since the 2.5” squares are only on one side of the strip all of the leftovers would just go into the scrap pile. I was trying to find a way to have minimal scraps but use up as much of the charm pack as possible.
@@sewbeitquilts but you'd be cutting up the same 5" square, only into 2 pieces instead of 4?

I like the brick pattern. I'm thinking of using 10" squares cut in half for a bigger quilt. Thank you for the video 😊👍 💕
Oh that will work great! Happy sewing!
Love the quilt. I love that it is a quick one and easy. I definitely want to try it.
I definitely will make this quick and easy quilt. Love working with my charm squares!!!
I love charm squares as well! They are such a good way to get a nice mix of fabric.
Fallon, I do like it! And I will probably make at least one. Many thanks!
I have never seen a clapper used before. How many quilters use them? I have only heard of them being used in the tailoring workshop...
I use clappers and l love how flat the seams gets.
I made one similar to yours except I put 2.5 inch white squares in between each 2.5x5 inch rectangle. I wasn’t thinking(and I know better) but I starched mine, bad idea because it didn’t turn out all the same length and I had to take part of it apart and add to it so I didn’t have to cut off quite as much on the ends to make it even.

How many did you do across? 30?
Did you say what size this will be? I love the idea. So fast and really cute.
I will probably press 2 rows at a time, will the clapped rests on one I will be pressing the other. Just going back and forth. I usually listen to music while sewing anyway.
That would be a much more efficient way to do the pressing!
I have 2 charm packs waiting to be used! Yeah!
Happy sewing!
Super cute quilt top. Thanks for sharing!!!
You are so welcome!
I always say, "drop back and PUNT!" Thanks for showing how you readjusted on the fly!
I love this quilt I have so many charms that I inherited can’t wait to take to my quilt retreat next week thank u

Oh this idea would look amazing as a curtain!
I absolutely plan to make this quilt! Thank you so much for sharing all of your patterns. I have loved coming across your channel and how real you are.
Thank you so much!
I have some charms coming that I think I will do this and add a border
I think I may add a border too. It is a nice little baby blanket right now but I think it would be great as a lap quilt.
You could have cut 2 1/2” off one end and sew it to the other end on every other strip.
Love this fabric, you're sold out in your shop.
I love it! Gonna see if I can apply it to my small quilt in progress. I already have some sashing between the squares, but it might look good. I’ll see!!
That will be great if it works out! Happy sewing.
What's the quilt on the chair behind you? Gorgeous colors.

You could have left the 5” sq and just cut extras in 1/2 & add then to every other end and not cut the 5” strip at all .. .. just saying ..
Great idea! You should make that tutorial video for us!
Love this pattern! I have several charm packs in my stash. I will be trying this to use some of them! Thank you for sharing!
You’re welcome! Happy sewing 🧵
I like that you just chain pieced all the squares together--learned a new trick!
I plan to make this quilt but I will see the 2 1/2 X 5 inch strip on before I cut the long long strip in half. Seems like a time saver to me.
I am making one in red, white and black prints. Can't wait, it is gorgeous but haven't cut in half yet.
That sounds beautiful!

@@barbarahenderson2927happens to me more than I like to admit.
What size did the top end up being?
I had that question too
It turned out close to a square. About 38”x40”
How much backing did you use? Thanks!!
I wo der if you could use a fat quarter bundle and a jelly roll and make this itll take longer then what it took you but i have both i really like for this
You definitely can!
Nice quilt. It was really quick for a whole top. Thanks.
You’re welcome ☺️
Beautiful quilt Thank you for sharing with us x
Happy sewing!
Why bother sniping all those threads ? They will be in the seam alliance
You have to snip them in this project because the blocks don't line up at the seam. They are off set.
I have been planning a brick wall quilt but I thought I had to use 2 1/2” x 4 1/2” bricks and sew them all together. This is SEW much easier and faster. I love it.
Definitely going to make this one! I love oops moments isn't that real life is? A series of oops moments mixed with wins!
Thank you Vicki and that is so true!

Thank you so much Christy!
What a great idea. I have a huge amount of charms.
You could have sewn a 2 1/2” strip to the end of each original strip.
Love this! I have a few matching charm packs I could use too! Thank you so ever much
Can you do this with cake layers the 10 inch squares???
I've been looking for the perfect pattern for my charm packs and I think this is it! Thank you for the inspiration! Love it.

To make a completely different look cut half of your end 5 in. Square in half and sew it to the other end of your row
Very cute and fun! Quick question, what are the dimensions of the quilt?
Oh man. I always forget to share that! It was almost a square. Approximately 38x40”.

I love this ruler, what is it called and who makes it. Thank you

What type of wood is used for the clappers? Does the stain affect the material? I absolutely adore the iron shaped clapper!

Is there a reason why you didn't cut your 5 inch squares in half to begin with?
Or cut the long row fold over and cut in half then instead of trying to cut then in half in a long row?
Is it because of bias??
