Here is a link to the video featuring the old quilt that inspired this block: ruclips.net/video/7zaPXdCKBBI/видео.html .
The block is a variation of Edna's Choice (#101) according the book 5500 Quilt Block Designs by Maggie Malone.
As a SUPER beginner I appreciate this video. I hate wasting fabric
Yay! So glad it is helpful!
Great tips, thank you ❤
I loved your opening where all different seasons and holidays could be made with this awesome Block. I watched this twice‼️👏👏💜
Thank you, Vicki! I am so happy you love it! ❤️
Great methods 👍🌹🌴🌺🌿🌻
So nice of you! Thank you!
I absolutely loved them! Perfected for our end of year bunches & bunches of scraps. I do have to add I love the older quilts. I have 5 right now I punched from an older sweet woman.. She just didn’t want them any longer😢 I felt I had to rescue them!!! 😊
Love this! Rescued quilts are the best! Happy they have a great home now. ❤️
Great ideas!
Thank you! 😊
As an experienced quilter, i appreciate that you move along and don't waste time demonstrating sewing and pressing EVERY seam. The instructions and demo as still clear! It saves time so i can watch more of your videos (:
Thank you so much! I really try my best to streamline it, although sometimes I still get hung up on recording those details. 😀 I am always asking myself, "Is this something the viewer needs to know?" You are so sweet! So happy you love my content! ❤️
Love this block
Thank you! ❤️
Enjoyed this video again!!
Yay! Thank you for watching again! I am glad it is helpful! 🥰
Wonderful tutorial! Love that you rescued, cleaned, and learned SEW much from an older quilt. Great block. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
Ty for the tips,
You are welcome, Sharla! ❤️❤️❤️
Great instructions!
Thank you! Glad is it helpful! ❤️
I will deconstruct my gently used napkins and pillowcases for my scrappy blocks. Thank for sharing your sewing lessons, Kris.
You are so welcome! ❤️
I'm so glad to see that you pin so much. I thought there was something wrong with me, since I can't seem to sew without pinning. Thank you. 🙂🙃🙂
A kindred spirit! I love it! I would much rather pin than use the seam ripper. 😀 Goad I am not the only one, too. ❤️
You can also glue as well
I also pin my blocks, a quilt teacher said it help keel it nice and even. Never look so neat if I don't. 😊 happy quilting
You guys don’t need to pin and actually it doesn’t help the fabric lay flat. I use glue or that wonder tape. Super simple don’t need to spend time taking pins out as you’re sewing it’s so fast
I found a similar type of wonder tape at Joann fabric and it works just as well. And I got a lot more for a dollar the wonder tape brand is a little bit more pricey
@@dcwatashiThat stuff is spendy and has issues of its own!
I love my love my yellow-head pins, 500 pack! You should see the ladies at the shop flip.over my nice crisp intersections on my *heavy-fabric, with everything from cordouroy to sateen finishes, damask, upholstery, etc, 1199+ separate squares* --- that stuff goes walking no matter how you hold it!
Yes, perhaps basic cotton holds itself in place almost perfectly, but most other fabrics have other ideas.
Longer pins enable you to pin without buckling the fabric, and also assist in stress-free "taking up" of excess length, since you sit and split the difference with pins until you like the distribution, then as you sew you can relax just trust that you placed the pins well, and enjoy your beautiful seam!
Hurray! Someone besides me and Kimberly Jolly who pins! I think it save many headaches. Thanks for creating 3 ways to make it too. Very helpful!
Yes!!! I would much rather pin than use the seam ripper! Lol! Thank you for your kind words! ❤️
Love this block. A great scrappy block to make between projects or at the end of each sewing session and would be wonderful for a charity Quilt.
Great ideas! Love the ideas of a charity quilt, especially! Thank you for this!
Thank you for sharing with us beginners…retired but love material❤️❤️❤️
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching. Glad you loved it!
I love your Old Quilt videos, which are informative and educational. Thanks for sharing your vintage treasures.
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!
I was thinking fussy cut fabric for the middle, applique works, too! Thinking I might start a leaders and enders with Christmas fabrics for a quilt like this -- or several!! I've got a LOT of Christmas fabric!! LOL!! Thank you for sharing!
Love, love, love this idea!!! That would be wonderful! Same with fussy cutting and appliqué! So happy you love this! .
Good Morning Kris, How nice of you to make a tutorial on making this quilt! Thank you so much. ❤️❤️❤️ Chris
Good morning, Chris! You are so welcome! ❤️
Love this idea
Thank you so much! Glad you like it! ❤️
I love scrappy! The little heart is adorable! great idea for Valentine’s Day. 🥰
Thank you! It’s a great design! ❤️
YES!!! 🔥I love all the methods you showed!!
Great explanation as always!!!❤This is a quilt
I would totally make!!🤩
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️ So happy you love it!
❤❤❤I love your tips and blocks!
Oh my goodness, how ez is that. 🥰
So happy you like it! A fun block to make! ❤️
I just found your channel today!! I have a lot of scraps and this block will be perfect to use them up!! (or, at least some of them) I love your teaching style and your bubbly personality.
Thank you so much! So glad you found me! ❤️❤️❤️
definitely liking how you show many ways to get the same look, so depending how we process our scraps, the instructions are clear and easy to do.
Yay! That was the goal. So happy you enjoyed it! ❤️
Thankyou thankyou Kris for this video. Your object might have been to show us how to do the scrappy quilt block and yes, I really enjoyed this but what I valued most was the lesson on how to square up your block. I was given a whole bunch of blocks made by different people and asked to sew them together. My mind went blank because all the squares were, well, not uniform in their square and I didn't know where to start. Especially too because I had cut and made some blocks to go with it too. Mine all matched, other blocks matched each other but nothing was uniform. Now I can fix it all up. Finally, I know what I am doing!!!!!!! Thank you.
Yayyyy! I love when that happens! I am happy it is useful. ❤️
sewing mojo has left the building so I came across this video and you make it look so easy so out came mount scrap more and a made a few blocks not made much of a dent but now I know what to do I will be making more
Yay! So happy you found this tutorial helpful! Scraps do seem to multiple, don't they? ❤️
@@SewtheDistance I know some I think have been donated by sewing friends but the tub was overflowing x
woser! My million spare jelly rolls are SMILING !!!
Woohooo! I love when happens! ❤️
Love the red quilt
Thank you
You’re welcome!
I love learning from you! Thanks! And I love that you love old quilts and take the time to share them with us!! I found you during 12 Days of Quiltmas, too! ❤
You are so welcome! Thank you for your kind words. ❤️ I love sharing these!
Yay! We actually have a Quiltmas 2023 planning meeting tonight! 😍 Can't wait to share our ideas with everyone next year, too!
@@SewtheDistanceYAY to Quiltmas 23!!
Fussy cut pics for the middle too. Love it!
Great idea! Love that!
Love this block! Another great block to use up those scraps. I appreciate you showing the 3 ways.
So glad you like the block and the video! It hope it helps with all types of scrap fabrics. ❤️
I like the option of making this different ways. So cute!
Thank you! 😊
Love this idea! I think I’ll use full sized jelly roll strips and cut them down into 2 patches and just toss ‘em in a basket until I have a whole pile to make into a quilt (putting the 2 patches randomly all over the quilt so it doesn’t get matchy-matchy).
Thanks for sharing!
GREAT IDEA! Love that! It would add another element to the fun for sure! Thank you!
Love scrappy quilts!
They are the best!
TY👍👍👍
You are welcome! ❤️
This is a great block for a memory quilt where people write lovely things and sign in center block. I have one similar to this.
Love love love this idea! Thank you for sharing!
Great scrap buster quilt block! And so forgiving. Thanks for sharing this. 😊
You are so welcome! It’s a great block!
Спасибо за такие простые, но полезные советы! Английский язык почти забыла после школы, но всё поняла.
Так рад слышать! Я использую гугл-переводчик, так что простите меня за ошибки. ❤️ Рад, что помогло! Раньше я был учителем ESL и пытался объяснять вещи по-разному. Как хорошо, что ты понял!
Hi Chris. I just watched this video today, 9.2.23 because I have a tub of 5" squares to make donation quilts. I've tried just sewing them randomly together and it isn't appealing to me. Your special block really makes the block look awesome. I watch all of the videos you post and really enjoy them. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
Thank you so much! This makes my heart so happy! 🥰
i am sorry the block isn't working for you. 😔 Maybe try just one or two colors from your scraps? Let me know if I can help you with this.
I love love love this block! 👍🏻💖👵🏻
Thank you so much! ❤️
Like the holiday quilt.
Thank you! ❤️
I’m going to be cutting lots of two and a half inch squares to use as leaders when I’m sewing other projects with the aim of creating these blocks 👍 I loved how your ‘old quilt’ had the same fabric for the sashings and block centres so I’m also going to look for a suitable fabric while I’m making the squares 🥰 So looking forward to getting on with this 😊 Thanks for sharing your wonderful quilt 👍🇬🇧
YAY! That's a great idea! I am sure the quilt will be amazing! The old quilt was so inspiring, I just had to recreate the block. ❤️ Thank you for watching and sharing this great idea!
Thank you so much!!! I have scraps galore!!!! Sharing!!
Yay! Thank you! Glad it is helpful!
Cute blocks, I am saving this one to my list. Your friend from New Mexico 🎶💐💖
Yay! So glad you love it and are saving it! Glad to have a New Mexico friend. 💕
I love scrappy & this is another great way to use up fabric. My goal this year is to do exactly that & not buy any fabric except maybe background & backing as needed. Thanks for sharing!!
Love this goal! I should follow your lead! ❤️
I plan to use this block for Christmas quilts for family gifts.
Oh, that will be lovely! So glad you like this and are going to make it!
Thanks so much for sharing this block 3 ways. It looks very doable for me, a beginner! You make it look easy!
You are so welcome! This is a great block for a beginner. So happy it is helpful! Let me know if you have questions. Happy to help! ❤️
I'm so glad I found your channel through the 12 days of Quiltmas - I have been binge watching your "lessons form an old quilt" videos - what a treat! I love this block, and will definitely be using it to use up some of my scraps - thank you for your excellent tutorial x
Wow! Thank you SO much! Both Quiltmas and Lessons from an Old Quilt videos are so close to my heart. ❤️ You are so sweet!
I love using scraps. Thank you for this tutorial .
You are so welcome!
I love this quilt block and the quilt that inspired it!
Thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Very fun simple block. Like that you showed it in different style fabric too.
It really is! Glad you liked it!
from Gerry- I really enjoy your channel. I cut up my leftovers into 5" squares and 2.5" strips so I am ready for this lovely quilt. God bless.
Hi Gerry! Thank you so much! I love that you are making this fun block and that you love my videos. Blessings to you and your family!
Oh I love this. So easy to teach someone else too.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve watched a lot of quilting videos, and yours is the BEST! This was the best explanation of how to square up a block that I have ever seen! Thank you!
Thank you SO MUCH! Wow! I am flattered. 😀 You are so sweet! I am happy this is helpful. ❤️❤️❤️
I’m currently making a quilt for my bed using this quilt block, thank you!!!!
I love hearing this! Thank you for sharing! I am so happy you love this pattern. ❤️
Thank you for showing different ways to make.
You are so welcome! This is a fun one!
Scrappy is my fav! Kept watching for this video. Thanks so muchfor sharing. I will definitely be doing these blocks. Maybe one with all seasons in one quilt!
Love that idea! Wouldn’t that be fun? Thank you for this!
I was thinking a year of holidays quilt.
😮 how you showed us the many ways it could compete our nine patch. Thanks
You are so welcome! ❤️
I think this is the block I will use as my warm up once I get back to sewing! I have a bunch of 2.5” strips left over from some placemats I made a couple years ago. I’ll do half with the center white/cream and rhe other half black/dk grey. Great tutorial! Hope your weekend is fantastic, Kris!
Love the idea of mixing the centers! Glad you loved it! Happy weekend to you, too!
This would be a fantastic leader/ender project.
Yes! It would make Bonnie Hunter proud! ❤️
I discovered you during the 12 days of Christmas quilts. Have enjoyed and learned so many things watching your videos this last year. I enjoy your teaching examples and enthusiasm for quilting. Thanks
Thank you so much! I love that you are enjoying my videos. I have so much to come, too! You are so kind! ❤️
So glad I found your post I appreciate you spending time to teach ❤❤
You are so welcome! I am happy you love this!
Thank you so much from this beginner!
You are so welcome!
Yay!!! Welcome to the world of quilting! It is an amazing world to be in! ❤️❤️❤️
Love it. You fussy cut a center square too. ☺️
Great idea! I love it!
Thank you for sharing these techniques. Look forward to more quilting from your channel.
You are welcome! Thank you for watching my videos. ❤️
Cute block great way to use up your scraps
Thank you! ❤️
I built this quilt block using a scrappy look, though a bit planned. I alternated a dark blue on the four corners with red. I did not put sashing between. Lots of matching. But did border it for ease in binding.
And it turned out beautifully! I love it! Thank you for sharing this on Facebook! I love that you made it! ❤️
I love this block and reminds me of how I was taught to sew💞 a very long time ago.
I love this! ❤️❤️❤️
Love this pattern! Sew Cute & Sew Easy. You have made it even easier with your 3 variations. Thanks
Thank you so much! So happy you love it!
@@SewtheDistance How about an Iron Review Video on your new Iron? LOL
Great tutorial! I LOVE the Hex signs on the wall!
Thanks so much! It was a vintage embroidery I found at an estate sale. Love that one, too!
❤ great variations of construction
Thank you! ❤️
Nice scrappy block. Will be using it with my leftovers.
Awesome, Marlene! Love this!
That was awesome! I love scrappy quilting and will definitely be doing this with my scraps. I loved the colors in your last block.
Yay! So glad it has inspired you. That's what it's all about. Thank you so much! ❤️
Very thorough tutorial! This would make a great leader/ender project
Thank you! YES! This would be perfect for that! Great idea!
Loved your teaching again.
Thank you! 🥰
Just watched this video a 2nd time to get the measurements. I don't have a lot of scraps but I do have a few orphan jelly rolls to try this with. I'll let you know how I do. ~~ Lynne
Please do! Glad you enjoyed this video! Let me know if you have any questions. ❤️
11:52 Hi Chris! I want to purchase a blade saver. Is there a way you get some credit?
Great ideas. To many choices for blocks and gifts.
Yes! Thank you!
Kris, thanks for the tutorial! It’s a great block, perfect for using up scraps.
Yay! So happy you liked it! It was my pleasure. ❤️
That is a great block, thanks for sharing
So glad you like this! ❤️ Thank you for watching!
Just came across your scrap quilt. I like the way I can use my leftover fabrics and not have to use small 2 or 3 inch fabrics. Starting with a 5 inch is a great idea. I will definitely being saving this for use. Thanks for sharing
Yay! So happy you enjoyed this one! It is a great block! Let me know if you have any further questions about it. ❤️
i chuckled when i saw the parking sign; so cute. I am making this block; have so many scraps left from making potholders etc. this past Christmas for gifts ; happy sewing and Happy New Year !
Perfect! So happy you liked this (and the sign). 😀❤️😀
❤❤❤ I love scrappy, and this was entertaining and informative. Thank you!
Yay! So happy to hear this! Thank you!
I love the block also. It is beautiful in whatever colors you chose. This quilt block is a winner. It would be fun to make in your Teams colors.
Oh, I love that idea! Yes! It would perfect for that.
I cut my own 5 inch squares and assembled them in sets as you demonstrated for the first method. I set them with a deep royal blue in a different way. Was really happy with results and gifted it to our nephew who just graduated from college. He was thrilled! Thanks so much Kris; all of your blocks are lovely. I will definitely be making this quilt as I adore scrappy quilts!
Could you do with 5 inch squares on the outside of center block using in larger inside square, I know it would be double the size, to make less cutting and sewing.
Love this and all of your videos
Love this I too love the traditional quilts ty for showing how to square up not so perfect blocks with regular rulers I’m really enjoying your content n am grateful that quiltmas introduced me to you.
You are so welcome! Glad this is helpful and happy you found me through Quiltmas! That was so much fun! ❤️
I did this block style for a denim quilt, with the center being the denim. It is a great way to use up scraps and get the beauty of denim without so much weight.
What a wonderful idea! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
This is a great, versatile block, it can be planned or scrappy as heck. I love it, thanks for sharing.
Yes!!! It is a great one! You are so welcome! Thank you for watching. ❤️
My brain did cartwheels trying to work out what you were doing when you sewed the sides together to make a tube 🤣🤣🤣
I have a pattern for a dolls quilt and I am thinking that making a whole bunch of these to then cut down with the size of the quilt might be a great idea. Yes, my BIG quilt is still waiting for me 😂 am I procrastinating on that project maybe???
Thanks Kris.
Love, love, love this! Thank you so much! So happy when my tutorials inspire people! Thank you for sharing your idea!
@@SewtheDistance 💖
I was given a container of 2 inch squares. So I will work with these.
Perfect! Glad this is helpful!
@@SewtheDistance I also watched your favorite scrappy quilt video. Was wondering how you set your blocks?
You are an awesome instructor! I love your lessons learned from old quilts and then modernize and inspire more quilting! So challenging, thank you.
Thank you so much! 🥰
Thanks Kris❤
My pleasure. 🥰
Great tutorial. Block looks like Idaho Square dance? Thank you for sharing. I just bought the janome 6700 on black Friday. I'm loving my new machine.
I had to look this one up! I had never heard of it. When I did the Lessons from an Old Quilt video on the old quilt that inspired this block, I found a similar pattern in the book 5500 Quilt Block Designs by Maggie Malone. It looks like a variation of Edna's Choice (#101 in the book), but I agree! It is a variation of Idaho Square Dance, too! Thank you for this!
So happy you love your Janome 6700! I love mine, too! That and my Juki are my two go-to machines. ❤️
I love the scrappy!
Thank you!
I am doing this very pattern, with each square representing each quilt I have made! Can't wait to get back in my sewing room to start assemble. Have no idea how many squares I have!
Ohhhh! That is a great way to remember your projects and use up scraps from the projects. Love this idea! Thank you!
A Favorite ! You truly inspired a beginner !! I bought a lot of fabric for Christmas and enrolled in a Sew Along for 2023 🧵
YAY! That’s what it’s all about! Welcome to the world of quilting. A quilt along is a great way to start! ❤️
Cute and simple! Thanks!
You are so welcome! ❤️
I love this block. My first quilt using it turned out so pretty. Can't seem to post it. But it's pretty!
Oh! I would love to see it! I wish you could post pictures in the RUclips comments. If you want to email me, I’d love to see it! My email is sewthedistance@gmail.com. So glad you made it! 😍
@@SewtheDistance if you want to post my quilt top on your site please do.
