Wow. This will make my donation quilts so much faster and easier to make! I love that you can literally use any layer cake or charm square pack and make a really cool quilt.
Going to do this for my granddaughters 30th birthday memory quilt. Everyone wrote a message on a square. I'm printing her picture and will have that as a center block. I'm excited to do this.
If you press with steam, the layer cake squares and charm squares will shrink in one direction, but not the other. So your layer cake squares will measure 10” x 9.?” and your charm squares will measure5” x 4.?”. This can cause trouble when sewing the blocks together. This can be avoided by pressing with a dry iron.
Yay more Ohio quilters! Your video popped up this morning so I decided to check it out. I love this block. Your instructions are spot on! I look forward to seeing more in the near future! Have a great week!
After sewing is completed couldn't you go into the backs of the blocks and, using embroidery scissors, cut out some of that 4.5" fabric to use elsewhere?
Clever. Who do you credit for the idea? You? If so please share that too. Very good for a child's first quilt pattern to make. Gives Good results and material is the focus.
I have no idea! I wish I did. I saw a demo online about a year and a half ago and a customer recently brought in a quilt that was sewn this way for me to longarm which prompted me to share it! I don't know who originally came up with this idea but it's genius. 💖🐝
@@thequiltingbeainteresting I just have one on the longarm and it's a pain in the a$$. Those junctions where the stitch lines meet and more bulky than they need to be and even with a glide foot the machine doesn't want to stitch over some of them. Just something people should be aware of
@@amandamaxwell3079 It may depend on the longarm maybe? Mine is a Gammill Statler and I had zero issues with mine or another customer's Square in a Square. But I can definitely see how it may be an issue depending on the bulk. One could always press seams open to reduce them a bit?
@@amandamaxwell3079 well I'm stumped! I wonder why I didn't have any issues? I didn't even go to a larger needle like I do for my collage quilts. I just kept it all standard and there were no issues. hmmmmm.....
Yes but for those who aren't fans of cutting it's a great hack. I'd rather be able to use up two sets of precuts from my stash... Which is a considerable stash🤣💖🐝
I totally agree with Sally. What purchases I make are very precious to me. Maybe because you have access to an abundance of expensive fabrics is not justified by wasting. Scraps are precious to me too. Wasting an entire charm pack is not in my budget. Another Ohioan❤
Yes it's not a frugal use of fabric, but it does make for a quick quilt! For those who aren't fans of cutting it's a great hack. I'd rather be able to use up two sets of precuts from my stash... Which is a considerable stash 🤣💖🐝happy sewing!

🎉 I have never seen something so easy that turned out that beautiful! Thank you, thank you, thank you!😊

Omfg you just made my day!!!!!!!
Love this idea for a box of 5 and 6 inch squares I picked up at a garage sale!
Fantastic thank you. How many 10” squares for the quilt?
Love this! What a great way to make a block. The points are perfectly even too!😍
What a great idea! Looks like a really quick quilt to make for a gift! Thanks for sharing!
Might be a nice square to do as a quilt as you go
Just what I need to use up my stash!!!
I think it would make a really cute scrappy precut quilt.

Awesome idea! Thanks!
Very clever 😊
I think this is awesome!

How great is this thanks for sharing great tutorial
Ingenius!
Clever technique, but it results in seams that are 4 layers of fabric thick, and is wasteful of fabric.
And my longarm isn't loving that
Nice blocks but in essence you are wasting 5" of each 10" square since you're doubled up in the middle. But it looks really nice.

I've been doing this since Timothy Totten taught me this technique. It's fun and looks great when completed.
Purple? An adult?
@@jspyrogram sorry what's the question?
Seems a waste of fabric.

@@thequiltingbea Makes it very expensive too.
Without hurting my brain with math…..what is the finished size of the block?😅
