That turned out beautifully Kris! Thanks for sharing. And, thank you so much for showing the back of your table runner...I wish more people would show the backs of their quilts/runners because I think the backs are just as important as the fronts and the bindings are.
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching and commenting! I love the backs, too. Sometimes I pick boring fabrics, but I love that black and white print. I will try to remember to show the backs more. Thank you! Great suggestion!
I just received some layer cakes in the mail. Was planning on making your other layer cake pattern, but I like this one also and I have multiple cakes to choose from, thank you. I did cringe every time your hand moved until you closed your cutter. I have just recovered from a cut where my blade jumped my ruler.😊
When I was editing the video and saw the blade, I cringed, too. That is so unlike me! I cut myself years ago and know better. I hope your recovery went well. I love that you are going to make this one! So much fun! Thank you for watching and sharing. ❤️
I'm pretty new at this - but you made it look easy. I actually have 2 different layer cakes (I love to purchase fabric more than I like to sew) and this video really inspires me to make this quilt using them. Thank you, Thank you!
Yay! You are so welcome! I love that. you are going to make this! Please let me know if you have any problems once you get started. Happy to help! Happy stitching! ❤️
This shows that you don't need a complicated pattern to make a beautiful quilt, you just need to choose the right fabric. And this is what you've done here. This fabric is lovely. Thanks for sharing the quilt and the runner. Both are stunning. ❤👍from Somerset UK
Hello there…new sub here. I have recently gotten back into sewing and purchased a jelly roll and a layer cake. I had no clue as to what I would make from it, so I went onto RUclips, hoping to find a gentle soul and a good teacher for this beginner. Lol. I like what you did here and I think I’m going to give it a go…I know I’ll be referring to your video a couple times for reference, but that’s how I’m going to learn. Thank you for sharing this video! Cheers 😊
Yay! Thank you for subbing and watching. I have many videos that will help you, and this is a great choice, too! Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help! Glad you have picked up sewing again! ❤️
I am a novice with quilting. I have accomplished two so far. I just want to let you know you are a very good teacher. you explain the ways and whys and cautions to look out for. It is so enjoyable to watch and learn from you. thank you
Really enjoy learning, watching and making your quilts. I am a lone sewer at home, so i find your tutorials a great learning tool and great to follow. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and making my day on many occasion’s. Regards Trish from Aust.
Kris, very colorful quilt. I currently have three quilt projects in the works. I am adding this one to my list simply because I haven't done an hour glass quilt. I make hourglass as part of larger blocks. This should be fun!! 🎶💐💖
Hi Kris! Thank you for this fantastic tutorial! No power in my neighborhood for 36 hours, so now I need to catch up with my favorite quilt channels. It was so cold.
Yay! So glad you like this one and could catch up! Thank you for your kind words. Glad you have power now and are nice and warm. This weather has been crazy!
I love layer cakes (OK - I love precuts😄) and I really,like this particular layer cake! Not anywhere near my usual color box - which is a good thing as I’m trying to climb out of my usual colors!!! And this size is perfect for the ones my guild makes and donates to a children’s crisis center (kids and Moms - kids all the way up to teenagers!). And also,would be easy to size down! I’m fairly new to your channel so working my way through many of your videos! Ans honestly, I never even thought about pressing the diagonally sewn seams before cutting - works for me!! Thanks👍👍
You are so welcome! So glad you like my videos! 🥰 Wow, what a wonderful cause to make quilts for. Quilts are magical. I am sure your quilts have helped many. Thank you so much for watching my videos and sharing. ❤️
Thank you so much! I sat with my precuts in the land of indecision and you have helped so much!! I’ve done the charm pack one, the other layer cake you showed, and plan on doing this as well. I like the way you demonstrate the techniques. Keep up the good work!!❤
Thank you so much! That's the best compliment! I always want to make sure people watching my tutorials can actually make the project. I am always thrilled when I hear this. Thank you! You made my day. 🥰
I just found you yesterday and hit SUBSCRIBE immediately. I have been quilting for about fifty years and restoring or repurposing vintage and antique quilts and quilt tops as well as making and designing my own quilts. I really appreciate your techniques being so exacting and love your excitement and energy! It’s also fun learning about precuts and the patterns available using them. I will continue watching you on RUclips and hitting the like button each and every time. Cheers! ❤
This is such a cute little quilt! It would be fun to make it scrappier by combining two different HSTs for each hourglass block, ending up with 4 different fabrics.
Loved making your previous Just One Layer Cake quilt and am looking forward to making this one too!. That fabric is so lovely! Definitely got some Sew the Distance Bingo squares in this one-- "Set your seams." "I love, love, love it." "It's so pretty!"
😂😂😂 I love this! I should make up a downloadable PDF for viewers! I tend to say the same things, don’t I? I love, love, love that you are going to make this quilt! It really is so pretty! 🤩
I have had a layer cake that I’ve wanted to make an easy straight forward quilt, and I think this is the one! Never made a QST that big, but I’m a fan, so let’s go make a quilt.
You are so welcome! I love that you love this one! It's a fun one to make. Let me know if you have any questions once you start making it. Happy to help!
Glad I found your video! Thank you for sharing your expertise! Will definitely try this quilt! I am new to quilting and you inspired me with your video!
My pleasure! Thank you so much! It does have a vintage look to it. Maybe that’s why I like it so much. Thank you for watching and for your kind words. ❤️
What an excellent project! Thank you for showing us and I will definitely sign up for your newsletter. You’re so much fun to listen to and you give us such good ideas.
I just found this video a few days ago and it's perfect for a layer cake I picked up on a recent shop hop! I'm halfway through the blocks and I love this technique! I also love that there is enough 'wiggle room' between the 10" precut and the finished block size So many patterns I've tried cut it too close for me (pun intended).
❤ Check out my blog for this project: www.sewthedistance.com/blog/just-one-layer-cake-quilt-hourglass
this is a link to the hourglass. Can you put a link to the picture you put up in the upper corner?
Love it ,my daughter passed away just before Christmas, she gave me a layer cake a few months before ,Im going to give this quilt a go ,Thanks Kris
Oh my goodness. I am so sorry for your loss. 🥰

Thanks so much! 😊 So happy you like it! Thank you for watching and for your kind words! 🥰❤️🥰
I hear your Set Your Seams voice comment in my head now. And think of you often as I sew.
😆 Set those seams! 😆 It does make a difference, doesn't it?
Loved your yellow black combo for the hour glass. Great tutorial. Demonstrated nicely.
Thank you so much! It is a great fabric line, isn't it? I may have to get more.
Looks like a nice pattern to try. Great job. Love it.
Thank you! 😊
This would be pretty in valentines fabric.
Oh, that would be beautiful! Great idea! Thank you. 🥰

Oh my gosh! As I am watching this, I am Sewing, the Alexandra tote, using the same line of fabric! I love it to
Really? Oh, wow! I love it! Isn't this a great fabric line? So much fun! 🥰
I just found this video a few days ago and it's perfect for a layer cake I picked up on a recent shop hop! I'm halfway through the blocks and I love this technique! I also love that there is enough 'wiggle room' between the 10" precut and the finished block size So many patterns I've tried cut it too close for me (pun intended).
YAY! So glad you found it and are going to making it!
Very pretty.great tutorial.
Thank you! 😊
