Adorable, I made one about 15 years ago with Japanese patterned fabrics which had gold in them and looked stunning. Now I can use it in a baby quilt for our new granddaughter not yet born. Thank you so much for refreshing my memory
wow that was great my friend watch it with me she great a patchwork and quilting, she made this over the weekend and what she had left she made a small pillow to match. She going to give it to her sister for her new baby. thank you for a amazing tutorial.
ladys you are greate! simple explanation, very good idea, and well done video. I love it. thanks a lot. My last baby quilt took me two weeks and I was frustrated by not sewing it straight. Even tjough the baby loved zhe quilt an tje perents too, but I am a Perfektionist.. .but sewing straight lines..I am not a hero in that. So thanks for this video! I try again! Greetings from foggy Lake Konstanz, Germany
We will be running a classic cathedral window pattern in a summer issue of Quilting Quickly and another in the May/June issue of Love of Quilting. A video tutorial is being planned for a release day in the spring.
AMEI, AMEI, AMEI... É SENSACIONAL. Ao mesmo tempo que o bloco parece feito de retalho aleatórios, o encontro das costuras comprova que foi cuidadosamente planejado e confeccionado. Por favor, mostrem mais de tutoriais assim.
Thank you so much 😊 that's a great idea 💡 and lovely when finished......I've been lucky enough to have a beautiful new sewing machine for Christmas 🎄 and I'm going to have so much fun with you're beautiful 😍 ideas 💡
I only have 5" squares. Would it be okay if I stitched them together like a 4-patch, which would only be 9 1/2" square, then cut the same way you did? It would have a lot more scrappiness to it, but would that even work? Joanne
Ladies two questions.first I know you said there's 27 blocks and nine different fabrics would this work if someone wanted to use 27 different fabrics? also this is a baby quilt would there be any differences if you wanted to make a bigger quilt?
This is adorable! I will have to try it. This makes me wonder if my piecing is off sometimes because I have been sewing squares into rows, and then sewing rows together. Perhaps I should sew together 4 squares, and then square that up, the sew to the next block. Maybe my accuracy would improve. Is that true? Thanks
Marguerite Farrell - Accuracy comes from many things. The math in patterns and directions is all based good cutting, consistent seam width and good pressing techniques. If you make 4-patch units, but then square them up you may be losing the seam allowance needed to join the next block. The only reason we trimmed these blocks is that they are "crazy pieced blocks at angles that alter the math and can not be predictable for finished sizes. Your method of joining blocks into rows and that joining rows is the normal way to make a quilt top. Instead maybe review your cutting, seam width and pressing techniques. If you need an outside source ask at a local quilt shop. Usually they are quite helpful to assist a quilter with questions. Happy New Year! - Colleen Fons and Porter Sewing Specialist
You don't need to be that accurate because this is a scrappy/wonky quilt block. If you do want accuracy in your next bunch, put your stack of fabrics on the cutting board within the 10x10 area, and then use the numbers to indicate your angles. Does that make sense?
You could sew your first three scrambled and then make the next two cuts and sew them scrambled and you only have to do four seam sews just sharing ...
The squares I did not all end the same, same pieces are shorter, and the square is smaller, I can not see what I doing wrong, I cut all the pieces as is show on the video.. Any suggestion??
So you do 3 stacks of 9 fabrics per stack? The stack she showed us on would make 9 finished blocks, so you would need 2 more stacks to make the blanket shown, right? I am very bad at the math in quilting lol.
Christine Kitson Yes - and you would have 3 extra blocks - that gives you the choice to take out any blocks that might not have turned out "just perfect";)
the blocks start at 10 inches, finish 8" - - - - 10 blocks across, 10 rows, means 100 blocks - you make 9 in the cutting process ---- repeat the process 11 times gives you 99 blocks - you're going to need one more somehow. Using 9 prints you would need 7/8 yard of each. That would give you extra, but the remainder could be linked for scrappy binding.
This is a great block, but I just wish these 2 ladies will stop showing each other what they did and instead showing to the camera, I had difficulty in trying to pause and look for the video still image to see what they did.
Sorry, We'll work on this - we both are new to making videos and are getting used to what the camera really picks up. I know we need to go more slowly so the camera people can get a clear shot.
I cringe at the "ironing", which distorts the cotton fabric and leaves the block wavy. I hear Colleen say "Don't distort the block" in the finger pressing , and at one point for the "pressing" Jean is doing, towards the viewer. However, Jean goes right on ahead and "irons" - swishing and moving the iron across the fabric. * Sigh * A press is straight down, no swishing back and forth. Make that change, and this is a really cute quilt.
to much talking about nonsense, instead of possible variations in colors or perhaps cutting in 2 bunches or more, binding etc.... :P this otherwise nice block
People are so very rude like someone owe us something, it was nice of you to share. When it initially because annoying to whomever, they should have stopped watching it instantly. I found it to be very informative and delightful. Thank you ladies for sharing your design and wonderful personality.
I'm sure she meant it as constructive criticism to help improve the videos. I enjoyed the video as well but there were times it was hard to hear what was being said because they spoke over each other. I wasn't going to click away because it's a super cute and easy block and there were only a couple of times they spoke over it each other so I was able to follow the video. My comment isn't meant to pick on or bully anyone but if no one gives advice on improvement how they be aware there was a small problem hearing. I love that cutting mat and it was great to see them use the square ruler correctly. I've been doing it wrong. I'm self taught so these little tips and tricks are very helpful to me.
@@katlady5000 You know I really like your response to that. I have found that MOST quilters are really kind and the sense of community is strong for the most part. Being a man and entering a woman's domain can be icy at times. For the most part people really don't intend to be negative. I really like Colleen Tauke's response as well. It left me feeling good to read the comments and leave with a positive feeling. BTW...this is a really cool block! I'm a huge rule-follower and sometimes I don't have the guts to break rules! LOL. I think when I learn more and have more confidence I will be more daring.
Wow, what a great idea for a quilt, sure will be trying this, THANK YOU so much for explaining this so well, 💞💞💞
Adorable, I made one about 15 years ago with Japanese patterned fabrics which had gold in them and looked stunning. Now I can use it in a baby quilt for our new granddaughter not yet born. Thank you so much for refreshing my memory
a lucky and cherished child:)
Wow! What a fantastic idea! I really like the fact that every quilt will be unique.
wow that was great my friend watch it with me she great a patchwork and quilting, she made this over the weekend and what she had left she made a small pillow to match. She going to give it to her sister for her new baby. thank you for a amazing tutorial.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Innovative cutting idea! I made a small lap quilt with 35 (5 x 7) squares. Turned out great!
+Charlene Hillis glad to hear you had a chance to use the technique!
What an awesome block, I think I just found the new design for my next quilt, thank you ladies ; )
Love this idea

Can I use 7 fabric if I don't have the nine fabric
I only have 5" squares. Would it be okay if I stitched them together like a 4-patch, which would only be 9 1/2" square, then cut the same way you did? It would have a lot more scrappiness to it, but would that even work?
Joanne
Sounds like a great inspiration. You may have just invented a new pattern. Way to go quilter!
Beautiful
Ladies two questions.first I know you said there's 27 blocks and nine different fabrics would
this work if someone wanted to use 27 different fabrics? also this is a baby quilt would there be any differences if you wanted to make a bigger quilt?
You just need multiples of 9 so that there will be 9 different fabrics within each block. Sounds like you have a plan?!!! Have fun!
Also, do you want the final square to be 9x9 or is that the starting point?
Am am I obliged to stay in the same family of colour the way you did? Or if I can have pink, blue, yellow, etc??
I notice you don’t do any back stitch when you start and finish the piecing each piece
This is adorable! I will have to try it. This makes me wonder if my piecing is off sometimes because I have been sewing squares into rows, and then sewing rows together. Perhaps I should sew together 4 squares, and then square that up, the sew to the next block. Maybe my accuracy would improve. Is that true? Thanks

Thank you so much.
What a nice idea!
Which fabric line were you using?
Quilting Treasures - the line called Zoe & Zack
okay, great, so HOW do we get the next 2 stacks to have the same shapes/cuts as the first cut stack ? without a template?
You don't need to be that accurate because this is a scrappy/wonky quilt block. If you do want accuracy in your next bunch, put your stack of fabrics on the cutting board within the 10x10 area, and then use the numbers to indicate your angles. Does that make sense?
You could sew your first three scrambled and then make the next two cuts and sew them scrambled and you only have to do four seam sews just sharing ...
Could you tell me what the patterned fabric with circles is called? It's so cute! Thanks.
Quilting Treasures - the line called Zoe & Zack
All the fabrics are from the same fabric collection
The squares I did not all end the same, same pieces are shorter, and the square is smaller, I can not see what I doing wrong, I cut all the pieces as is show on the video.. Any suggestion??
So you do 3 stacks of 9 fabrics per stack? The stack she showed us on would make 9 finished blocks, so you would need 2 more stacks to make the blanket shown, right? I am very bad at the math in quilting lol.
Christine Kitson Yes - and you would have 3 extra blocks - that gives you the choice to take out any blocks that might not have turned out "just perfect";)
Im confused, do you make another set of 9 same as these??? i mean do you try and cut the same as you did in the 1st set of 9?
no. each set cut doesnt need to be exactly like the first set. thats what gives it the wacky look.
I want to do this for my daughter. But am at a loss as to how much yardage of each fabric I would need for an 80 X 80 quilt.
the blocks start at 10 inches, finish 8" - - - - 10 blocks across, 10 rows, means 100 blocks - you make 9 in the cutting process ---- repeat the process 11 times gives you 99 blocks - you're going to need one more somehow. Using 9 prints you would need 7/8 yard of each. That would give you extra, but the remainder could be linked for scrappy binding.
i love it!
What fabric line did you use for this quilt?
Quilting Treasures - Zoe & Zack. I think there are kits available thru the fons & Porter website.
How come I never see quilters pre wash their fabrics?
You don't need to.
@@KayInMaine but doesn’t it shrink Kay like after it finally does get washed?
Very nice
muito legal
Links do not work
awesome thanks
Hello, I dont understand english, I don't understand do you make because we don't see you do, please make other video more slooly, thank you very much
lindo demaissssssss
This is a great block, but I just wish these 2 ladies will stop showing each other what they did and instead showing to the camera, I had difficulty in trying to pause and look for the video still image to see what they did.

Thanks. Looking forward to seeing your remake of this video. For a first-timer on making videos, you did great, I apologize for being curt.
Just like creative grids straight out of line.
Nice pattern!
Nice if only one woman was teaching ,,,lot of over talking and back and forth noise with each other,
I cringe at the "ironing", which distorts the cotton fabric and leaves the block wavy. I hear Colleen say "Don't distort the block" in the finger pressing , and at one point for the "pressing" Jean is doing, towards the viewer.

я как понимаю что я тут один из России?

Super block and tutorial but the two people talking over one-another was hugely annoying. Only the gal doing the demo was needed here!
A lovely block but really annoying having 2 people talking over each other 😤
I apologize. This was early in the creation of video for this magazine - my inexperience was showing.
People are so very rude like someone owe us something, it was nice of you to share. When it initially because annoying to whomever, they should have stopped watching it instantly. I found it to be very informative and delightful. Thank you ladies for sharing your design and wonderful personality.

Cute block. The lady on the left is distracting. Shes trying hard to read a script rather than be normal lol
Wish it was only Coleen showing the block other lady get rid of the flopping hands n bad false french nails
