    I ❤ your videos! I just finished a 85” x 85” quilt for my son using prints and solids in red, black, grey and white. Thank you!

    You just solved my problem. I'm making a Trip Around the World quilt for my first grandchild, due any day now, but my son wants a 2-color quilt for his son. Black stars and royal blue multi colored dots. This will be a marvelous pattern. Thanks Rob. You really came through for me.

    Wow, that is such a cool quilt! The transformation from the fabric to the final illusion is mesmerizing....like a racing flag under water.

    I really like the fabric line you chose and this is a quilt i would do. I like to watch your videos in the morning with my coffee as between your energy and my caffeine I get ramped up for the day! :) Trust me, I am an old lady and this is a true compliment. Great video again, Rob, keep it up! Zoanne

    You are awesome Rob! Black, white, gray prints, just like the one you did on the demonstration.

    I would use two different "sherbert" solid colors, such as a pink raspberry and orange, or a lime green and peach-ish, for a 60s retro look, or perhaps use two different colorways, (e.g. bright colors on one side and grey and black on the other) one on each side of a quilt with just some flannel in between for a lighter blanket with minimal quilting to hold it together. I think the possibilities are endless with this.

    Prints for me in red/cream contrast. I love the impact this quilt has. Great pattern!

  • @cindymcfarland4686
    @cindymcfarland4686 6 лет назад +1

    Pretty cool pattern, Rob. I would have to nest my seams, however, to get perfect intersections. Just a matter of pressing the strip sets differently. Thanks for all your ideas and your humor!

  • @beverleybrowning3480
    @beverleybrowning3480 6 лет назад +1

    Love your course of the box ideas! Can't wait to try this - but it has to go in the queue. Want to use batiks & a solid I think. Love your choice of music too! Very distinctive

  • @gladystan1
    @gladystan1 6 лет назад +4

    I LOVE all your videos/projects, but have to say, this is my all time favorite! Now, if you would do the math for me, in yardage, for a queen size :) I have many combos for team colors in my mind, but for myself: gray and yellow grunge. Thanks for another TERRIFIC tutorial!

  • @vanceandbonnieneuberger8881

    @thtgrldiana6388 6 лет назад

    Hi, I've really enjoyed your videos and quilts: I have just started quilting and found that I have wasted a lot of effort and enthusiasm on my 3rd quilt. Why? because I feel like there are secrets, tips and tricks I haven't' learned with respect to cutting accurate strips, sewing straight/even strip sets and squaring up techniques during construction. I have scrapped the quilt and will use it for quilting practice. Now, I realized I may be asking a lot... But I would love to see a video on best techniques for accurate cutting, sewing, construction and squaring of strips and blocks. And what are the common poor practices we should avoid? …... Or simply share a link for us beginners. Please keep posting and sharing your gorgeous work!

  • @lisakoehler7313

    What pattern did you use for the quilting? I tried to see but couldn't tell.

  • @mylilbirdiecreations
    @mylilbirdiecreations 6 лет назад +15

    You know...if you always press to the dark when making your strip sets, your seams will always nest when making your blocks since you are alternating lights and darks.

    • @cindymcfarland4686
      @cindymcfarland4686 6 лет назад +3

      Exactly! More precise at the intersections.

    Would this work in flannels or would the 1" strip be too bulky?

    • @faitharrowood8001
      @faitharrowood8001 6 лет назад

      You could always change the strip size. Make them 5", 4", 3" and 2". You'll still get the illusion.

      @ellenhofer3343 6 лет назад

      Judy Braten Jordan Fabrics in OR is very helpful with yardages.
      Great customer service on the phone with in-store staff.
      If you can give them info for the one shown, they can probably figure fabric for you.
      Do not mean to infringe on MSQ at all, but as you mentioned they couldn't help you, then you should be free to check elsewhere for help.
      It is odd that MSQ couldn't help you with this, though.
