Disappearing Pinwheel: Top Of The Stairs. Disappearing Quilt Variation #3
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 июл 2021
- This is the third in a my series on Disappearing Quilt Blocks. This is a Disappearing Pinwheel Variation I call Top of the Stairs.
If you stick around to the end of the video there are two additional layouts made with the same blocks.
To get a print version of this pattern, sign up for my newsletter on may page of my newsletter (questioningquilter.com). After you enter your email address you will get a confirmation email with a link to the newsletter archive. This will be in the July 2021 issue.
I show how I make Half Square Triangle blocks in my first video Disappearing Hourglass Variation "Confetti" • Disappearing Hourglass...
My second video is another Disappearing Hourglass Variation called "Ring Around the Rosie." • Disappearing Hourglass...
If you want to make this block a different size I have a chart for initial square size, final block size and cutting instructions at: questioningquilter.com/chart
If you decide to make this quilt, I would love to see how it comes out. You can share it with me on Facebook or Instagram.

I heard about you today from the weekly tutorial by Jenny Doan at Missouri Star Quilt Company. I find your 3 options fascinating! I was pleased to see it done in just 2 colours as compared to Jenny's which she did with a layer cake. I have a layer cake of various red fabrics and I think this quilt will look stunning. Thank you, Brita. (Debra from Canada which is why there is a "u" in colours. :-)
Always nice to hear from a neighbor from the north. It was wonderful of her to give me a shout out and it is nice to see the contrast between her version and mine. This will look great in variations of red. I hope that you will send me a picture. Have a happy and healthy New Year.
Also just saw with Jenny and led me to your channel😊 what size did you cut your squares before making hst? My brain is not working🤣 love all 3 layouts. Watching from Delaware👋
This is brilliant! Looking forward to your presentation to the Royal City Quilters Guild January 9th, 2024. 🇨🇦
I made this with 5 1/4″ squares of fabric which were turned into 4 3/4″ Half Square Triangles (HST).
So happy to have you here. I am just to the north of you in the Philly Suburbs.
Thank you. See you next week.
I'm so glad Jenny from Missouri Star Quilts found you! I've already watched 3 of your videos. I love the way you teach and especially the various layouts at the end. Thank you.
Jenny was so very kind to mention me. I am so happy that you are enjoying my videos. Welcome to my channel. Wishing you and your family a Happy and Healthy New Year.
Your videos are not long. They are as long as you need to make it clear for us beginners and I love your optimistic personality. It helps me not to get discouraged. Thank you!
I am glad that you think these are the right length. I always worry about that. It makes me very excited to hear from beginners and to think that I am helping them in some small way. Please don't get discouraged, your quilting will only get better over time. Thanks for watching.
Very clever. I like how you explain, demonstrate and get right to it.
These are the most inventive arrangements that I've seen of all the videos I've watched about disappearing blocks.
Thank you for showing and teaching the different variations of this pattern. Looking forward to following you and learning more.
I am so happy to have your here. Thanks so much for the kind words.
I heard you mentioned on Missouri Star's RUclips site! I was like "I know her!!!" Jennie was making this quilt. You go girl!!
Thank you so much. It is like having a cheerleader. You are making me smile so big.
Looking forward to watching your work. Jenny Doan sent me here and I'm grateful to both of you for giving me ideas for what to do with all the fabric I got for Christmas ;-)
Jenny is so sweet to give me a shout-out. Welcome to my channel. I do hope that you enjoy the videos.
Wishing you a very happy New Year.
I love your patterns and your teaching style
I am so happy to hear that. I try very hard and it is so reassuring to know that it is working for you. Thanks!
I enjoy watching your quilt tutorials. Maybe next time you can show us new quilters how to make a quilt block.
I am glad that you like the tutorials. I am not to sure what you mean about showing you how to make a quilt block. If you mean how to make the Half Square Triangle block, then I showed that in my first video.
You can see it here: ruclips.net/video/jeeamLzIdro/видео.html
Let me know if this is what you were talking about, or if there is something else that you want to see.
Brita, your so cleaver. Every time I watch you with a smile. Your teaching us the what if.
To be more creative. Thank you so much for you
You are so sweet. You bring a smile to my face. Thanks so much. 🥰🥰🥰
Lovely quilt and easily explained. Thank you!
I am so happy that you enjoyed it. Thanks so much!
It was great meeting you today, Brita. I loved your presentation at Ocean Waves. And I'm looking forward to your class tomorrow. Your disappearing blocks have me so intrigued. Can't wait to see many more videos. Take care, Kitti.
Your guild was so fun, laughing at all my jokes. The workshop went very well and everyone's blocks came out beautiful!!
Hola amiga.. Hermoso trabajo.. Felicitaciónes. Desde Pereira Colombia.. Mil gracias x compartir tus enseñansas... ❤
Muchas gracias. Esto me hace feliz de escuchar. 💕💕💕
Another wonderful block arrangement. Wow you are great and have so much knowledge to share!!! Love to see your smile and wonderful information. Thank you so very much.
You are so welcome! I appreciate the kind words.
You make the best tutorials and I really like you sharing the different layout's. Thank you for sharing you
You are so very sweet. Thanks so much for the support and kind words.
Love your ideas , sharing with quilting friends
I am glad to hear that you consider me to be on of your quilting friends. 🥰🥰
Hi Brita, I came here after watching Jenny’s tutorial on this block where she mentions you and your channel 😊. I like your explanations and variations!! I’ve subscribed and look forward to watching your videos.
Thank you for subscribing, welcome to the channel. I am happy to hear that you like my style.
Extremely clear instructions and innovative arrangements. Fun!
Thank you so much for the feedback. I try really hard to make the instructions clear but not too long. I am so glad that you enjoyed it.
So nice
Great Looking quilt! Thank you for sharing
I am so glad that you like it. Thank you so much for watching.
Love all the layouts. Really love the tree
I am happy to know that you like the alternate layouts. Thanks
This is SUCH a clear tutorial! Brilliant little tricks throughout with concise instructions! I feel like I could do this!
You can absolutely do it. I believe in you. If you run into any problems feel free to email me. brita@questioningquilter.com
That last arrangement could be made into a maze, sort of ,for puzzle fans. With background squares if needed on edges.
I love this. It looks so complicated, but as you're making it, and your instructions, it's fairly simple. Thanks!
I am so happy that you found it simple. That is what I love about the disappearing blocks. Thanks so much for being here.
Very creative! Learned about you from Jenny Doan at MSQC and I'm glad she mentioned you! Thank you.
Love this pattern. This is my first time seeing your channel (Jenny Doan recommended you) and your teaching method is fantastic.! Thank you very much for sharing.
I am so happy that you made it here and enjoy my teaching methos. Thank you and Happy New Year.
Brita
Today your channel showed up on my feed. I’m utterly gobsmacked by your creativity and imagination. Not to mention your teaching. I think you’re right up there with Caryl
Breyer Fallert in your imagination, wide ranging imagination, enthusiasm and willingness to share your gifts.
I could follow cutting up the blocks and a bit of the arranging but would have to arrange the 4 center blocks and then have to put up the next round by trial and error. I was so delighted and excited by your work that I knew I could figure that out. Eventually.
I’m headed to your website in a bit to take a look.
Maybe what I enjoyed most of all was knowing that I can do this because of you.
And I’m reminding myself that in my previous professional life my skills were valuable.
Take excellent care of yourself. And thank you yet again for dusting off my brain. Oh that you would come by and dust my living room‼️‼️
This is very high praise indeed! Thank you so very much. I know that you can do it.
I will be by to dust your living room just as soon as I am done dusting my own.
I love this quilt. I have the perfect fabric to get started.
That it exciting to hear! I hope that you will share a picture with me when it is done.
This going to make a great red and white quilt!
That sounds amazing, I hope that you will share a picture of it with me.
I love your teaching style. You don't waste my time and the quilts are so DOABLE!
I am so happy that you like my style. I try hard to walk the line between too much information and boring and too quick and confusing. Thanks for the validation.
Thank you for doing these videos! For visual learners like myself, it helps to see the block being done. Still a relatively new quilter. Thanks again!
I am so happy that you like the videos. I am also a visual learner and there is no substitute for actually seeing some one do it.
I love helping new quilters. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you. Thanks for watching.
@@QuestioningQuilter ♥ Thank you! 😘
I love this! You explained putting it together where I think I may be able to do it. Beautiful quilt!
I know that you can do it. If you run into any problems just drop me an email.
brita@questioningquilter.com
I just discovered your channel. It is amazing. I just love your way you explain this patterns. I live in Austria and not a native speaker. But you speak very clearly and it is easy for me to follow. Luckily I have white and blue fabric at home and I will start imediately. Thank you so much.
I am so happy that you found me! Welcome, Welcome, Welcome!
I am very glad that you found the instructions easy to follow.
I would love to see a picture of the quilt when you have finished it.
brita@questioningquilter.com
Love your channel! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! You have already helped me with the “tape” on the ruler tip!
I am glad it helped. I have a mountain of mis-cut blocks from before I found this trick.
I am amazed at these pinwheel variations. Congratulations on a great, very focused channel!!
Thank you so very much!
They are all beautiful....thanks for showing us how to do it......Mary
I am so happy that you like it!
Love your quilts, Thanks you for sharing.
You are so welcome! Thanks for letting me know.
I just recently tripped across your channel and am loving it! I am more of a visual learner and find your video tutorials to be very clear and concise. I'm currently working on Top of the Stairs and already have a few other patterns on my list. I really like your teaching style. Thank you and please keep making these fabulous tutorials.
I hope that you didn't hurt yourself when you tripped. 😉I would love to see your Top of The Stairs quilt when you have finished it. It is so exciting to see the quilts that people make with my patterns. I feel like I am successful if people like my designs enough to make it themselves. brita@questioningquilter.com
I love this quilt! The layered design is very eye-catching…and I love the colours. Thank you for this great tutorial.
Hi again LL. Thanks so much for watching and letting me know that you like the videos. It means the world to me. :-)
Love the different layouts of the same block.
Glad you like them, thanks.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Watching you from South Africa
South Africa, that is so exciting to know! Thanks for being here.
I’ve always wanted to make this stunning quilt-your instructions make it so easy!
I really hope that you do try it. It is a lot of fun.
I enjoyed this. I can't find your thumbs up. Found the thumbs up.
Thanks so much for the thumbs up. I appreciate it. (and for the comment)
Love the stacked layout (the Top of the Stairs).
Thank you so very much!
I learned about you from Jenny. I’m glad I did.
I am really glad that you did too. So happy to have you here.
Nicely done! Clear, concise, well paced, and beautiful layouts! Thank you!
Thank you so very much for the feedback and all the kind words. I work really hard on these videos and it makes it all worth while to hear how much you enjoy it and that you think it is the right speed. I am always second guessing myself.
Awesome pattern. And you have made it seem so simple. Appreciate your passion for quilting.
Thank you so much for the feedback. It means the world to me that people appreciate the videos.
All 3 are stunning! Thank you!
So happy that you like them. Thanks so much.
These are FAB-U-LOUS clever designs.
You are so kind. Thank you so much for saying so.
My favorite is the first version - look like Spanish floor tiles to me!
I want to experiment with making this in three colors - love the possibilities you have brought to my attention!
Thanks so much for all of your replies. It is so very kind of you.
I also love all the different variations available with the disappearing blocks.
I would love to see you multi color version of this quilt.
Thanks again for watching.
Great tutorial!
Robin, I've been keeping this pattern in mind for ages and thought the same about more colours. How did your quilt turn out?
I would love to see your finished three-color quilt.
I just love your technique , starting with a simple pinwheel and the gorgeous layouts are just awesome!! oh my God , I am in love with what you’re teaching !! thank you so much..
Oh my! You are making me blush. Thank you so much for all the kind words.
Love, love ,love it! 😍😍😍 Thank you for sharing. 😊⛄❄
I am happy, happy, happy that you are here watching my videos. 💕💕💕
So exciting to see the smaller size and different layouts . Thank You. Thanks from Jennie Dorn for your website
Thanks for watching!
How fun. I will definitely make this. I would like to start making 40 x 40 lap quilts for veterans and this is a great pattern to start with. Looks so intricate and yet so easy the way you demonstrated. I’ll just need to adjust the bloc sizes. Thanks for a great video!
I am happy to hear that you will be making this pattern and veterans quilts are the best. If you want to make this a little smaller you can use the chart on my website: questioningquilter.com/chart/
If you make the HST's 4 3/8" then the quilt top will be 40.5" square. If you want it smaller, you can start with 4" HST's and the top will be 36" X 36" and you could add a 2" border to each size to make it exactly 40 X 40.
I would love to see a picture of it when it is done.
Brita, I have just discovered your channel! Great teaching style, and just love these disappearing blocks. I have a friend who finally had a baby after two miscarriages. She now has a "Rainbow" baby. This Top Of the Stairs quilt is perfect for me to make. I am going to start with Orange, and move to Pink, Green, Blue, and Purple. I have been searching for the perfect pattern. This is it!
Thank you so much. I am so glad that you like the pattern.
I would love to see a picture of the completed quilt. I really love the idea of making different rows different colors.
Congratulations to your friend and her rainbow baby. I have one of those myself so I know how fantastic it is.
@@QuestioningQuilter I would love to share it. I am making the quilt with Me and My Sister’s Good Day collection. Where do I share? On your website or Facebook?
Whatever works best for you.
You can share it with your friends on Facebook and tag me, Brita Nelson the Questioning Quilter.
If you have Instagram you can tag me @questioningquilter and #DisappearingBlockMagic.
And/or, you could email the picture to me: brita@questioningquilter.com. If you do this, please let me know if I can eventually add it to a gallery of quilts that people have made using my patterns.
I am really excited that you like my design enough to make it for your friend.
Keep in touch,
Brita
Glad you popped up in my RUclips suggestions!
Welcome to my channel. I am glad that I popped up on your suggestions also. Thanks for watching.
You explain everything well. You are a happy person.
Thank you, you are very sweet.
Love this! The last layout makes me think of a Star Wars stormtrooper! 😂 If it was made in black & white it would really show up. Thanks for the variations.
Oh my gosh, you are so right. Storm troopers. What a cool Star Wars design idea.
Thanks so much for watching.
I was seeing Darth Vader.. lol
#1 'Infinity'. 3d effect. Really, really struck me. Reverse colors for a 'cave' ? Gotta go now, see what I have to make this NOW! PS. Like the 2 other choices for variation, but....
Wow! Yeah, Infinity sounds good. You can keep adding rows around and around forever. A cave layout with reversed colors sounds interesting. It would be cool to try that. Thanks so much for the idea. I would love to see how your quilt comes out.
Brita
Jenny Doan at Missouri Star mentioned you and your channel in a recent video and she encouraged her viewers to come over a take a look. I’m glad I did. Love the options and will be watching your other videos.
Welcome! I am so happy you made the trip, and pleased that you like the options. Thanks! 🥰
I just accidentally came across your videos and I am hooked thank you!!!
What a happy accident! You are hooked?! Aha, my plan is successful, I want everyone as addicted to these blocks as I am. :-) Welcome to the club.
One of the best tutorials I have ever seen! I don’t really care what it’s called - it’s absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing - I have always wanted to make one of these!
Take care 🥰
Oh my gosh! This is the highest praise I could get. There are so many professionally produced videos out there (I am working in the bonus room above my garage). I will be smiling the rest of the day.
I hope that you do make this quilt and I would love to see it if you do.
Thank you so much.
Where have you been!? I found you thanks to Jenny at MSQC.
I've been here all the time. I am so glad that you found me. Jenny is a very sweet woman.
Too!
You are the first instructor that I understand every single thing you are teaching! Bravo! Will share you often!!

Oh my! That is such high praise indeed. I am so happy that my teaching style works for you. I try very hard to balance being clear with being brief. Thank you so very much!

You’re so FUN!
My new inspiration!!
Willow version looks like Darth Vader.
Teaching me to play.
LOL. I went back to look and it does look like Darth Vader. Thanks so much for that.
Your instruction style is clear and easy to follow. Gr8 video.
I am so happy that you like the style. I try my best. Thanks so much.
I'd call the first version Pyramid Top. Very nice!
That's a great name. Thanks for sharing it with me.
What a pretty quilt!
Thank you so much!
Great fun!! Love the different combinations.
Thank you so much
Love your teaching style. I think I could make this.
I know that you could make this!! I am so happy to hear that you like the way I teach.
Clever idea....very well demonstrated. .
Love it!
Thank you so much!
What a wonderful tutorial. Thank you so much
Thank you.
I just love these videos. Thank you for making them.❤
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching.
Oh my goodness! I also heard about your channel from Jenny Doan. I love disappearing blocks. You seem to be a cross between a math teacher and an artist. I am looking forward to receiving your newsletters and watching future videos.
I am so glad that you chose to visit. I am so happy to have you here. Welcome, Welcome, Welcome. Thanks for subscribing.
I love this fabric!
Thank you!
Woman your are a genius
You are too kind. Not so much a genius as I love to tinker. When I find a good pattern I get all excited like I just found an easter egg.
Thank you so much.
I like the name Stacked Tiles. An optical illusion. Another great pattern
Thanks for telling me. I liked that one best myself but my friends convinced me to call it top of the stairs. Either way, I like the illusion of dimension.
