The darker fabrics make the blocks look like they’re 3-D. That is so interesting! I love it. And thank you for making these blocks so easy to understand.
I have always loved the look of this block. It is a great technique to showcase large print novelty fabric and so easy to construct. I do not care to use precuts with pinked edges but sometimes it's unavoidable. Nice tutorial! Thank you for all you do.
Another great tutorial, thank you. This block looks really effective and your video and explanation makes it achievable for all levels of quilters. Love it.
Good tutorial, Susan-Claire. That was a clear explanation of how to deal with the pinked edges. I have the same machine as you are using, but I have a hard time using the ¼" foot, because of the wide feed dogs. My seams swerve at the ends. Yours seem to go straight out. Any hints?
you just need to be careful when feeding the fabric through. When you get to about a half inch from the end, push the fabric toward the foot so it doesn't veery off or you can use a stylette . When you get about a half inch from the end, position the stylette up with the needle at the end of the patch being sewn. As you feed the last half inch into the needle, keep the stylette lined up with the needle. It is narrow so can go right up to the needle if you want as long as you are using a foot with an open front. As to veering off at the start, when you finish sewing a patch, continue to sew off to a 2 inch or so scrap of fabric and sew right to the end of that fabric. Leave it under the needle. When you start to sew your patch, lift the foot a bit and position your patch right up against the end of the scrap, which should position your patch right against the needle. This stops veering off at the start and also stops the needle/machine from trying to eat the start of a patch.

Beautiful block! Thank you!
I love this idea. You are so smart and creative! Is there a pattern laying out the sizing of the quilt pieces?
Thanks for this tutorial
Thank u very much!
Great tutorial! Any suggestions for pressing the seams so that the blocks go together easily with seams butting?
Thanks for this video;-)
Thank you so much
Like this thanks
Lovely clear tutorial. Thank you. Did you mention what size to cut the sashing or is it just about 3" finished?
Hi, I cut the sashing 2 1/2" wide so it finishes at 2".
@@GourmetQuilter aha thankyou
Could I sew onto plain bed spread once I've done all the blocks?
Can you use a different light diffusion? Instead of a 2” white, use 2 different shades??
Are the colored blocks plain colors? Can u do them with prints? Thank u. Wht size was the bigger white blocks?
HI, the coloured fabrics I used are tone on tone dotty fabrics - yes you can use prints. The sashing I added is cut 2 1/2" wide.
Благодарю!
