This is one of the best informative & useful tutorials on RUclips. Thank you so much for sharing, much-needed. Cathedral Windows just got a lot easier...😀
That windmill trick you showed I made a quilt over 30 years ago doing that, my back ground is black and I added 12 colored blocks, 5" squares with 4 black windmill points inside the colored 5" squares. The entire outside of the quilt is border is edged with the prarie points also on all 4 sides. As pretty today as the day I made it. I can see it from my chair in the living room. I'm 72 now
Sue, I like the fact that the extra fabric will add more dimension to the block……even more so with quilting. I did see this technique so where else but thanks for your efforts.
I think it is a unique and quick way; however, I, too, have a problem with the fabric waste. Good fabric is expensive, and I try to use all of it I can. I do think this is a great way to make a quilt if you're in a hurry. Thank you for these tips.
Very cute. Many of the designs I'd probably very carefully trim out the extra bottom. Bulk. From there incorporate those into a scrappy or crumb quilt.
I have to agree with some other comments. Fabric is really expensive and it seems like a waste. I watched a you tube that uses this technique when cutting apart a panel and and/or T-shirt quilts and it works well of your in a hurry and dealing with odd sizes if you don’t mind waiting fabric. Also, it would be very difficult to quilt something made with this technique.
a good idea for a cleaner backside; the first one (block in center) because I don't want to waste an extra useable fabric, I will cut out a 4" or 4.5"square in the center 10" square; then position & place 5" square in the center of that "square hole" with pins & do the fold/sew like she does (may use extra time/effort but result: lighter block weight, less clear backside, saved a small fabric).
I was smiling during theirs laughing time!! Good! Your first block is magical! And all the others! Cuz my shoulder have problem to move and I am not able to cut! Thanks so much! You have a new quilt friend! Me.
The fabric waste may be torerable, but those seams can't nest because they can only go in one direction. Now for pillows, and small projects, this would be fine, but I can't imagine trying to quilt a larger project with all those thick intersections.
Oh for goodness sakes. To all you critics out there be thankful someone is taking the time to show instructions to others. I am a newbie to making blocks and really appreciate the info.
What would you do if you wanted to use several of these blocks, but they don't all finish at the same size, and to cut the larger ones down ruins the corners.
I have been a hand quilter since childhood. I bought a sewing machine last year during COVID. Someone said I can use my machine for quilting. This is blowing my mind
I have 3 quilts planed starting them today this seems simple and quick to do i my next quilt after the 3 i want to do all kinds of blocks in one quilt i believe its called a sample quilt i want to do it in matching fabrics and i like the layers seems like it will be warm ans snuggly
With guilting fabric so expensive, this technique seems to be wasteful, besides the top will not be flat because of the added thickness of the folded edges! I like the precuts but I think I will continue with the usual way of piecing them. Thanks for sharing your ideas!
3-D pinwheel quilts have been around since the 90's. The center is not a problem. Here's a slightly different on you could do with that method. We do these for charity with just 5" squares. craftcore.ca/2015-09-20-how-to-make-a-3d-pinwheel-quilt-block/
That’s pretty easy but after putting the quilt together it’s going to be very bulky with all that extra fabric and your wasting lots of fabric that way 😱

Best explanation for quit ideas I have ever watched Am 84 still do simple quilts to keep busy Will definitely try a couple of these ideas Thank you
The woman laughing out loud in this video sounds JUST like my mama, gone over 30 years, THANK YOU FOR THIS!
Sue, I like the fact that the extra fabric will add more dimension to the block……even more so with quilting. I did see this technique so where else but thanks for your efforts.
Looks like a Winner. Built in features NOT bolted on They actually Listened to Quilters.

Some of us can't cut fabric for health reasons.
10 inch and 5 inch square sewn together makes a good block strong. Like it. Children's quilts need to be sturdy. Also, your quilt is tough.
I like the way you explain. Thank you. So beautifull. God Bless
How exciting, I will be trying these. Thank you for the easy instructions.
Can you do this as quilt as you go? How about as pot holder with lnsul brite? I love this pattern
Very cute. Many of the designs I'd probably very carefully trim out the extra bottom. Bulk. From there incorporate those into a scrappy or crumb quilt.
They are having so much fun!!
Love your techniques. Fast is what I need.
Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge with us, appreciate these ideas, I always wondered how than was done. Thank you
No cutting. Being blind in one eye I thought I would have to give up my passion. Thank you,
Really enjoyed your video it showed a really good shortcut
Your hair is lovely looks great.
Still watching this in 2022! Miss the shop!
Seems to be a lot if cackling in the background.
I love to learn how to make blocks in different ways. Every once in a while wasting fabric is ok 👌
I love this! Especially the very last one!! 😍
Absolutely love these innovative ideas!
Those ladies are having too much fun. Wish I were there.

if there seems to be a wasted fabric, turn it over (backside) & cut out a neat square but cut carefully.
Great ideas and explanations! Thank you
Love these blocks! Excited to try them😊
Yes that is what I am looking for, this is my first time sewing a quilts like that thank you good work
.l
What line of fabrics are you using love allow these ways
Great ideas. Love the suggestions.
I love the idea of the little triangles folded for children to put their little toys in ,cant wait to try thank you for sharing , I have subscribed xx
Love your scarf. Handmade or store bought?
I just made the pinwheel idea for a baby blanket. Awesome!! I know this video is 6 years old but glad it popped up.
I was smiling during theirs laughing time!! Good! Your first block is magical! And all the others! Cuz my shoulder have problem to move and I am not able to cut! Thanks so much! You have a new quilt friend! Me.
Fabulous idea, going to make it now
Wow! this is fascinating. I am going to try these ideas. I am a fan of precut squares.
Thank you for sharing your talent. -j
There might be a little wasted fabric but who doesn’t have more😊
The fabric waste may be torerable, but those seams can't nest because they can only go in one direction. Now for pillows, and small projects, this would be fine, but I can't imagine trying to quilt a larger project with all those thick intersections.
That's what I was thinking! How do you quilt that? Especially with those open pockets! Help, we need Angela's quilting tips for this!

Love these methods of making interesting blocks.
What would you do if you wanted to use several of these blocks, but they don't all finish at the same size, and to cut the larger ones down ruins the corners.
I have been a hand quilter since childhood. I bought a sewing machine last year during COVID. Someone said I can use my machine for quilting. This is blowing my mind
Great Ideas. I had done the first one and now I have more for quick quilt making.
Merci pour toutes ces explications
this is crafty and seems like fun as it's simpler and faster (great for me)!
You saved me on a very big project coming up, ty so much
Great ideas! Thank you!
Excellent video, thank you
This is really neat, but I cant waste the fabric that is underneath , plus later a lot more bulk.
You could trim away the under neath fabric and use it in a crazy quilt pillow or pot holder.
How could a quilting machine quilt those with turned up edges?
Joyce Weaver I agree, it would also make it heavier
I like a heavier quilt. 😁
I have 3 quilts planed starting them today this seems simple and quick to do i my next quilt after the 3 i want to do all kinds of blocks in one quilt i believe its called a sample quilt i want to do it in matching fabrics and i like the layers seems like it will be warm ans snuggly

Nice so what size is the block when done . 😀🙋🏽
Great ideas. Thank you 🙏
I would like to see a finished top using this method.
Show a finished quilt top with the squares, if possible?
Great blocks
Awesome! Love it all! Thank you very much!
Wow simply brilliant well done. Sadly I live in the uk so can't get to your shop. What a shame....
I love your idea with using precuts! Do you have any completed patterns to view?
A thrifty thing I will do is use a cut up mens/LADIES shirt for pinwheels, adding as many as makes balanc piece. THANKS!
Can you cut the excess material so not to have a lot of waste?
Super awesome presentation, I love it, I surely will try.
Nice explanation nice video thank you
meha gustado mucho son todos preciosos no se por cual elegir.pero ponermelo mas tarde.necesito volver a verlo gracias

I love the pinwheel block but would like to know how to deal with the bulk from so many layers of fabric meeting in the center.

This technique is called fold and sew and was developed by Peg Spradlin.

Really really neat tricks
Thank you for sharing, i am coming to try it thanks.
Cut the back fabric out and no waste.
How do I get the centre to put the 5in square
Fold your 10 inch twice then fold your other piece of fabric in the same directions then put the smaller on top and line up your folds
