    Thank you Corey for putting the friendship star block in this quilt. One of my favorites. My favorite way to make HST is to put the 2 squares together, cut them diagonally and then sew each one together. I’ve been told I shouldn’t do that so I appreciate that you tell us to do what works for us. ♥️😁🥰

    • @CorianderQuilts
      @CorianderQuilts  Год назад +1

      I've talked to other quilters that feel they are more accurate when they sew together the two triangles as well. We are all different and different techniques are going to work better for each of us!

    Yay. I always get so excited to see a post from you. It makes my day. You always bring such sunshine to the screen. ❤❤❤ Also looking forward to your trunk show at the FQS next Friday. I like to cut my HSTs oversized and trim down with a Blockloc. When I have several to make, I like to use triangles on a rollI or triangle paper. Those always come out perfectly and don’t require squaring up. It saves loads of time. I think it’s great to have several methods in my toolbox.

    • @CorianderQuilts
      @CorianderQuilts  Год назад +1

    Love this block! I am behind on my blocks for this quilt, but plan to catch up next week. You may have already covered this, but if I wanted to make this into a queen quilt, can you tell me your recommendation ? Thank so much for your knowledge and artistic and creative inspiration.

    • @CorianderQuilts
      @CorianderQuilts  Год назад +1

      They go together quickly...I'm sure you'll be able to catch up in no time--and if not, the patterns will be ready when you are. =) For a queen sized quilt, you could either add more blocks, add borders, or both. You will want your quilt to be a rectangle so I'd probably suggest adding an extra row or two to the bottom to make it a rectangle. You could then continue adding rows to the sides and bottom or adding borders (or both) to bring it to size.

    Thanks sew much Corey! Just adore you. Question, what one of your Basics/ background do you use the most. I like seeds ? Not sure if it’s always available

      Coriander Seeds is my line of white on white basics. Any of them will mix with any of my other collections. Since Coriander Seeds is a basic, any of the 10 fabrics in that collection can be ordered by quilt shops whenever they need some. I like using all of those fabrics!...they mix so nice with everything else.

      @@sharontuch3405 FQS carries Coriander Seeds so if you wanted to purchase some to go with Sunwashed, that's a great place to purchase. Any of those fabrics will go with Sunwashed. If you search "coriander seeds" on the FQS website, it will pull them all up for you. The x print fabric from Coriander Seeds is the same print as the x print in Sunwashed so that would be a great choice. Or, I really like ditsy, sprigs, or vines with Sunwashed. x print & ditsy are showing out of stock right now on FQS but you can be notified when they're back in stock.

    Any opinion on using a smaller ruler for the smaller units? (I saw a youtube on miniature quilts and that was that teacher's tip. Perhaps it only matters with a traditional ruler...)

    • @CorianderQuilts
      @CorianderQuilts  Год назад

      I used to use smaller rulers for smaller pieces...it just made sense in my head that I would like that option better. However, what I have found out is that I prefer having more surface area to hang onto when I'm trimming. The smaller rulers seemed to slide around more when they had more surface area on the fabric and less of it on the cutting mat. Plus, I didn't have as much to hang onto when I was trimming. I wouldn't have been using QS rulers at that time so it's possible I wouldn't have noticed the "slidey" fabric problem but I still would have preferred more surface area for my hand.
      I think probably depending on which quilter you talk to you are going to get a different answer each time! If you have a smaller ruler to experiment with, try it out and see what you think. You might find you much prefer a certain size over another.

      I didn't starch at all for this project. Every now and then I will...but not that frequently. For myself, I don't find that it increases my accuracy enough to warrant the extra time. I know others would disagree!

    How do you lift your Quilters Select ruler? I've seen some quilter add a knob to the top... My friends ruler has lost some of the sticky on the corner where she grabs it.

    • @CorianderQuilts
      @CorianderQuilts  Год назад

      I lift mine on the side...I've only had my QS rulers for a few years so I don't know if that "sticky" will stand the test of time or not. So far so good! Have you ever seen the suction handles for quilting rulers? There are quite a few different brands and sizes but essentially, they are a little knob or handle that suctions to your ruler for better grip. I tried a larger one for one of my larger rulers many years ago and decided I didn't prefer it, but if you were worried about loosing that "stickiness" on any of your rulers (or if you wanted something nicer to hang onto when cutting), it might be a nice option. If you google "suction handles for quilt rulers" you'll see what I'm talking about. (if you aren't familiar with them already)

    • @AvivaHadas
      @AvivaHadas Год назад

      @@CorianderQuilts yeah, that was the knob, I tried to describe. I'm gun shy to try a new ruler myself. I like/use brand A, grabbed brand B because that was all that was at the quilt shop (I wanted something a bit bigger.) - the numbering is different.. (Ditto rotary cutters & I'd never change my seam ripper or thread snips - life is too short.)

      @@AvivaHadas I get it!...when what you have is working, why change it! I think that most of the things I've picked up or changed over the years have been something that a student brought to a class that I was teaching and I had the chance to try it out and see it in action. Magic Pins, QS rulers, & pressing bars were all that way for me. I don't think I would have picked up any of those items if I hadn't been able to see and try them out for myself. Just because someone else loves it doesn't mean it's going to work the same for me! And I know what you mean about different number on rulers...that can throw things off in a big way!
      The other thing I think about too is how used to we get to whatever we are using. We have a lot of practice with whatever tools we've been using and know all of their quirks and how to make them work for us. There might be another tool that works better but we've had so much less practice with that tool that it might not work as well as our old standby even if it seems like a better tool in theory.
