    Another great example of how little bits of fabric can be transformed into a beautiful quilt. Kate at The Last Homely House cuts the same way you do and I dare anybody to tell her she's doing it wrong! There is no right or wrong way as long as you know how to cut safely.

    The blocks are gorgeous but my goodness they are HUGE!! Luckily one can always make the central square & strips smaller/narrower if desired. I love how the single-fabric sections tie everything together, no matter how scrappy the multi-fabric pieces are. EDIT - prepping the scrappy strips is perfect for those "I want to sew, but I don't know *what* I want to sew" days.

    • @themelodyofsewing6369

    Just the inspiration i needed..i havent been quilting for year yet. I have made some quilts for family members, well the story goes that my 90 yr old father said when i first started that i would not need to make him a quilt..ya know "to old for one, have enough blankets". Well just before Christmas i was showing off the quilt i had done for one of my sisters, guess what my (now 91 yr old) father said.."I could use a quilt, my leather chair gets cold in the winter time when i take my naps"..😂..so this would be perfect, using some of my scraps and some dark color for the background...i can work on his quilt while finishing up on the ones i am working on, thank you..thank you for your channel. Oh and just a word on the cutting method..as a beginner quilter..i watched tons of cutting material video's..i know to do what is safe for me as an inexperienced quilter. I came for the ideas and i was blessed..

    For those who who point out that this method of cutting is unsafe, I would say this: if you are scoring tile, cutting mats or cutting carpet, this method is exactly how cut for precision. Having said that, I think you have better leverage over your tool when cutting from your shoulder out than from cutting toward you. It's a matter of preference/comfort not safety.

      @@debbiebarnette9715 If you make the colored strips 1-1/ 2 inches wide, then the size of the finished block will be 17-1/2 inches.
      And if you cut colored strips 2 inches wide, then the size of the finished block will turn out to be 19 inches. But you can also cut strips of background fabric to any width. Not necessarily like mine. But how much background fabric you need to buy depends on the size of the future quilt.

    Just my two cents here. And it never happens to you until it does. I’ve been sewing for 35 years. Last year, the week before Thanksgiving, through no fault of my own (!), using my rotary cutter upwards towards the top of the fabric, the cutter went rogue-veered to the left towards the end, and I sliced off my finger from the right side of the finger by the top joint across my nail and out the middle of the top of the nail. I felt a burn and went to the sink. It hadn’t started bleeding yet but I realized the top of my finger was thinner. Got the piece and hurried to the ER. Doc sewed it on. Fortunately it missed the cuticle bed. It wound up reattaching from the base of the nail down, but the top didn’t make it. Luckily the nail grows out regular so it doesn’t show.
    Point being, my SIL bought a handle that attaches to the big ruler I use when doing rotary work. Think about buying one - I will never use it again without it.
