As I get older (76), I find I want everything in my life more simplified and that includes my quilting projects. I've been a quilter for over 20 years and I'm happiest when I can just sit down at my machine and sew scraps, strings, 4-patches, etc. without thinking too much. I love your channel because it's inspiring as well as relaxing. I watched a gal this morning who was new to me and she was so particular and fussy with her simple block that I turned her off. Been there and done that for a long time and found I was not enjoying quilting because I was trying to be perfect. Thanks for showing us that we don't have to be perfect :)
Exactly why I love Beth. She is totally refreshing, has a great eye for fabric choices and makes all who watch just keep adding to our “ to do list”❤ (KH)
Very pretty! All 3 quilts. I’ve been cutting scraps I have quite a few 2 1/2 inch squares but I still need more of a variety. This gave me inspiration! I’ve been thrifting vintage bed sheets and am always on the lookout for vintage fabric. I had a friend who’s mother passed away a few years ago she sewed it was so lucky I ran into her she asked me if I want 3 boxes of fabric if I didn’t take it she was going to put them in the burn pile oh my goodness I said yes! It was like Christmas morning going through those boxes of beautiful fabric.
Great simple ideas, and isn’t this what patchwork is really all about? Great that you don’t use many different and expensive rulers or pre-cuts. Love it!
You’ve officially made me fall in love with 4-patches - we’ve been flirting for a while but now I’m all in … just as soon as I finished the Reversed Hourglass you should us last year 😄 my son already loves it and I haven’t finished the top yet. Have a great day!
I learn best by watching. Your tutorials are easy to follow. I have snapped pictures of the screen to save ideas to my phone, lol. It is so freeing to not have to be perfect!
A wonderful video Beth, thank you. I shall be digging out all my old patches to see what I can make with them x Thank you for sharing your work with us xx
Love your suggestions, I have been toying with the notion of starting 2 quilts at the same time with the leaders and enders method. I just have to get in my quilt room and get it done, just as you do!! Thank you for sharing your talent and time!!
This is a wonderful way to start a Monday morning 😊 Relaxing music while watching you create more fabulous quilts 🤩 Thanks for letting me sew with you today 👏👏🇬🇧
Thank you Beth. I am not good at scrappy combinations. I feel lost and confused about combining colors. But you just showed us red/green/light or white four patches, bright color four patches with red and green borders, bright colors with yellow and blue triangles, pastel colors with white sashes and pink or other soft color cornerstones used to emphasize the cornerstone color. It may seem simple and obvious to some people, but this was very helpful to me! ♥️
Love looking at your older scrap fabrics. They are gorgeous, reminders of a past era is so good. Beautiful blocks, thanks Beth. You’re o creative and relaxing. ❤️🇦🇺
I just love it when your videos pop up…so relaxing to watch. You always have such great ideas and everything turns out beautifully. I really want to do this one…( as well as all your others😁.) …Thanks Beth for another inspiring quilt. Dottie xx
Thanks for the great video, Beth. It is wonderful to see what you can make starting with 2-2/2” squares. That gives me inspiration to do something with my squares of fabrics. Thanks a bunch!
Thank you Beth. I enjoyed this video. I have 4 glass jars filled with 2 1/2 inch squares. The jars are reminiscent of the old pickle jars in country stores. I just saved the link to this video as will start tomorrow…. Monday. Decisions, decisions….. maybe one of the last two. Thanks from Maine
dear Beth, I always thought the mathematics was more complex, when you put blocks on point, for example an 8 1/2 square, so the triangles would also be cut from an 8 1/2 square? I just love your style, it is so comfortable and soothing, just like your quilts. Thank you so much for your gifts to us! have a good day.
I love these quilt tops, I'm new to quilting and am going to be using scraps from my quilt my grandma made over 30yrs ago that I tore apart, thank you for the videos
I really like this. I don't know if I have that much different material to do this. But I'm keeping this in mind. Gonna have to see more is all. Thanks!
Thank you for calm QUIET music. Sewing is a calm thing. It doesn't need trumpets and kettle drums and canons. Thank you also for beautiful quilts that don't have a zillion pieces per block.... and permission to not be thread for thread precise. Its a quilt! Not a fake 100 dollar bill. A bit of trim to square them up is also comforting. These are meant to have good dreams under. )))))
Hi Beth! I love all of them! I've been cutting scraps into different sizes-1 being 2 1/2" squares. Originally, I thought about a checkerboard layout, but after seeing your random colored 4-patches with the yellow gingham & blue triangles-I may just have to do one like that 💗💗 A friend gave me lots of chambray years ago & turns out it's wider than normal fabric. I think it's 60" wide, but I don't remember. I could use that for my blue & find something else for the alternate color! Thanks as always for all you do for us 😍😍
Merci beaucoup madame pour ces beaux exemples de blocs. Des petits bouts de tissu, de jolies couleurs, votre créativité, vos conseils et voici 4 magnifiques quilts ! Bravo. Régine 🇫🇷💐
Thanks for taking your time to show us different ways to use the 4 patch block. Great examples! Could you please show us how you actually quilt them. That's my weakest part of being a quilter----how to finish the quilt.
Lindo! Admiro todos os seus trabalhos. Estou fazendo vários deles, aproveitando os retalhos.Obrigada por nos mostrar, pena que não consigo traduzir . Abraços! Parabéns!
You amaze me with your fast sewing. I just have to pin if there’s an intersection, but yours always look perfect. Love your little white Featherweight, where’s the Juki?

I appreciate that you don't use/promote expensive precut fabric and specialty rulers. I really enjoy your videos.

You betcha.
Beautiful quilts Beth. I like the 1st and last quilts the most.
All of them are sew sweet, love them all, thanks for taking the time to show it.
So simple yet so effective. Proves that you don't need a pattern to create a fabulous quilt!
♥️ Lovely quilts, really enjoy watching xx

@liz schwartz Oh my, lucky you!!!
What a blessing! That's a lot of fabric! Have fun with it 😉
I bought a couple of tubs full of mostly large scraps at an auction 2-3 years ago… still working on it!!! Lots of fun!
Beth Really love the 3 quilts. Very Pretty Blessings to Everyone 🙏🙏❤️❤️
Great ideas for the simple four patch! Thank you for sharing
I'm so jealous of your white featherweight. I have the standard black 221 and I love it. So enjoy your channel.
Great simple ideas, and isn’t this what patchwork is really all about? Great that you don’t use many different and expensive rulers or pre-cuts. Love it!
I love all your videos. You make quilts less stressful and seemingly fun. Can't wait to get started on one of these! TY
I really like your simple quilts. Thanks for this. You have inspired me to make something similar.
Really great ideas for Four Patches. Thank you!!!

A wonderful video Beth, thank you. I shall be digging out all my old patches to see what I can make with them x Thank you for sharing your work with us xx
I have made so many four patches used in so many ways and still love them. I enjoy your channel so very much, very encouraging and relaxing. ❤
Love your suggestions, I have been toying with the notion of starting 2 quilts at the same time with the leaders and enders method. I just have to get in my quilt room and get it done, just as you do!! Thank you for sharing your talent and time!!
Love your ideas for 4-patch block designs 💖
Yikes! You’ve been buzzing making gorgeous quilts.😍👏🏻🙏
Thank you for your video!❤!
This is a wonderful way to start a Monday morning 😊 Relaxing music while watching you create more fabulous quilts 🤩 Thanks for letting me sew with you today 👏👏🇬🇧
These were great ideas. Loved to see the 4 patches in the actual quilts.
Thank you Beth. I am not good at scrappy combinations. I feel lost and confused about combining colors.

If you look at a color wheel, all colors go with all colors. If you like it then it works! Color is your friend, don’t be afraid of it!
One more thing, Pinterest has color cards with color combinations. That can help you until you become more comfortable
Beth is your bobbin winder still in the down position on your belt.? The camera angle makes it look that way.
I just love your tutorials
I just remember warm/cool and light/dark to keep it simple for me. It just depends on how I want it to feel.
Beautifully simple. Thanks Beth.

😍😍 Great tutorial Beth! Several appealing ideas here. What a masterclass in chain piecing, by the way...
Going to make with 6yo Granddaughter just bought her a little machine

Lots of options, my personal favourite is the four patch with the triangles. Thanks for sharing these variations. 👍❤️😊
Great ideas ❤, thank you for sharing this.

You amaze me with your fast sewing. I just have to pin if there’s an intersection, but yours always look perfect. Love your little white Featherweight, where’s the Juki?
Miss juki is doing fine🙂
Good way to use up the gazillion 2 1/2 squares every sewer collects!
😍🥰👍
Good evening from Canada! Where can I find instructions for your fancy pin cushion?
Flower pincushion video on my channel. A couple of years ago I think
Hi newbie here, i noticed that you didn't press when sewing over the seems but other people insist on pressing first... what is the difference?
I don't always press after every seam. It's a personal preference. You'll find what works for you.
Beth, I may have missed it but how did you cut the 2 1/2" blocks? Were they in strips? Love your videos.❤
I have a drawer full of squares👌
