Good morning Tracy, I was browsing my folder for a new baby quilt to start making, Watched you again and decided that I'd do the process . Thanks again for posting this unique way of quick quilt.
Ah may zing, Tracy my dear you are brilliant thanks so much for sharing your technique with us, oh and BTW you're beautiful, take care sweetie🇨🇦✌❤🇱🇷🌻🌻🌻🙏🙏🙏
HOW MCH DOES THE SQUARE "GROW" each time so one could "guesstimate" mow big the future pieces of fabric should be 1.5x bigger than the one you're adding to it?
It's genius 🙌 There's no reason why you couldn't do multiple blocks to a manageable size each, then do a QAYG technique and have a four patch or nine patch etc. Have the same focal first square and change the rest to mix it up and use your stash. It would then be easier to both quilt and manage the bigger size issue. Especially if like me the floor is not an option
I did your idea with my blocks around 24”” sq, QAUG 3X4 rows with 2 1/2” sashing then finished with a QAUG attached border. It looks great and was very fun.
I'm so glad to hear when you say some things are hard because of your arthritis! I have a tough time with a lot of seemingly simple actions in quilting and sewing. Lifting rulers, separating layers, picking up pins! I wondered why. Now I know.
"Tracy Tuesday" is one of my favorite days of the week!!! 🥰 Always nice to see your YT icon in my Notifications drop down. Very interesting quilt project, Tracy! Not seen this technique before to make a quilt. LOVE the little fussy-cut center whale. Just too cute! I've seen this technique used for applique' pieces to be sewn onto quilt squares, mug rugs, placemats, etc., but never used to make an entire quilt. I used it for making the small purple hearts that I was going to sew onto the backs of each of the Project Linus' quilts, but..... As always, oodles and oodles of thanks for yet another "funique" (fun + unique) video! 🙂💐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Haha Dori!! "Tracy Tuesday" & "Funique"!!💙! So FUN! (Tues is really not a scheduled thing for me....lol but If I look back....I probably do upload on a lot of Tues.) I was surprised at how well this technique worked on this quilt🤷🏻♀️
@@TheSewingChannel Your more detailed and complicated project videos come out on "Thracy Thursday". 😜 If I don't see your YT icon on Tuesday, I know that you've got one coming out on Thursday! Either way, your 96.5K Subscribers are winners!!!!! 😃
Tracey, you have done it again! This is as neat as a cheater (printed) quilt top! Will play with this as soon as I can...have so much "stuff" to sort & conquer! See you later!!!
Wow, that looks so easy for a novice like me, thank you! I may try this as a rag quilt. What a perfect project using thrifted sheets and scraps to practice on.
Love this technique! I tried this a few years ago but never to make a complete quilt top. This would make a darling baby quilt or even a really fast quilt to use to decorate for the holidays. Great tip on the seam ripper to get it started. Thanks, Tracy! ❤️❤️❤️
❤️ Some call this an exploding square block. I love making these. I find pulling the layers apart with my fingers is easy and doesn’t risk damaging the fabric. IMO it qualifies as patchwork, although techniques are slightly different from more usual styles of patchwork. I thought about going big, but haven’t done it. Maybe soon. Smaller blocks joined together make interesting secondary patterns.
** Tip**. Cut a tiny slit in your fabric BEFORE you sew it to your block...makes it a lot easier to cut once its been sewn. TY for your beautiful tutorial. I make these on a smaller scale for mug mats, pot holders etc. Cheers from stinking HOT Florida 🙂
Such a really cool quick quilt!😃. I can’t wait to try one🤗. I think it would really be a great scrap buster, maybe stop at 12-14” size and just make a bunch of blocks to join together 😏. Thanks for yet another terrific idea🤩
Tracie, I'm thinking about your arthritic hands and something you may want to try with this block. Draw the X on your fabric first and fold the square into a triangle and where the X intersects cut a slight snip in the fabric at the X. Then put your fabrics right sides together, sew a 1/4" seam allowance all the way around the square. You will have that little slit premade and you won't have to use a seam ripper anymore and you won't have to worry about possibly poking into the layer below or ripping your opening wonky. Give it a try, I think you may find it helpful for you. ❤❤
@@TheSewingChannel Thank you. I actually tried it awhile back making that little snip into the fabric when it's folded into a triangle then flaten it back out. It works for me. I've actually made many of these now and I make them several sizes, like you said, pot holders, placemats, table runners, all kinds of things. It's a great hack. Please keep sharing, I learn so much from you! ❤❤
All thought this block is very interesting and I definitely want to make it, I myself would stop at 11 + size and make several blocks at that size and add sashing in between the blocks. But that is my choice. You did a great job on yours and I appreciate you taking the time to share this

Theresa- no there’s no pattern. Use any size square to start and build as big as you like✅💙
Such talent!!

It's a fast make for sure Kris!!!!!💙 Great idea for a quick holiday quilt✅
love the holiday idea
Love this idea! I have been wanting to try the economy block for quite awhile. Thanks for a great demonstration!
Awesome Brenna! This is a fun one!💙
I thought it was the exploding block? Does it have two names?
Quilt blocks take on several different names over time 🤷🏻♀️ some even call this “the economy block”✅
This is awesome! 😀👍🏼
Thank you Elise...it was so fast to make too!💙

Awesome, thank you! Welcome to The Sewing Channel Ange💛

You should definitely try this one LuAnn💙⚓️
I think this would be awesome for scrap fabrics for charity quilts. Seems like it would get done quite fast.
Great idea Anna💛
I often wondered how a quilt like this would look if I carried ion to the size square needed. Thank you!
Wow, I love that!
So easy too Heidi✅
Awesome 🤩. I make a lot of charity quilts, most definitely going to try this. Appreciate your time and talents

What a great little quilt or wall hanging! And no worries about wonky edges, since all the seams are on the straight grain!
