Thank you for sharing this with us 😊. I love this idea. I am a fairly new quilter, and have never done this. I think I need to make this for Thanksgiving. GREAT demonstration and explanation. Really clear and concise. I really love your teaching method.🎉😊💖🎊🍀 From one Liz to another.
Thanks Liz! I think I might do 4 of these with 8 fabrics and make a queen size quilt. if my math is right, starting with a 5" center square should put me in the right area
I just found your channel. I like your style & enjoy learning different ways to make quilts. I have subscribed & look forward to your next video. Thank you for sharing!
I love this tip - thank you! Just one thing, it was really hard to hear your commentary as the volume on the video was so low. If there's any way to bump up the volume of your voice, it would be great. Thanks again.
Hi! In new to your channel. I love this! This a dumb question probably, but can you explain what you mean by cutting off the piunts? I mean are you cutting of FCC thetop points of the previous row?
I couldn't see any detail because there is no close up camera views. The video is small on my screen also. This method is a new approach to me. I prefer sharp corners but thank you for showing another option.
Caveat: I'm not a card carrying member of the quilting police. I appreciate your time in demonstrating this technique and the drawbacks. I see that several viewers have taken offense to the reasonable critique offered by others regarding this block construction and accuse others of being negative or that they've "forgotten what a quilt is supposed to be". Fisticuffs will be next! I've seen this method before (and 4x HST's which has bias on the outside). My preference is to not employ such methods. I have objective facts for this preference: (1) there is no time savings as I'm not cutting or sewing fewer edges; (2) the method leaves bias on the outside edges and as block grows so does the opportunity for stretch (3) if I have to stay stitch, I'm not saving time and incurring thread build up; (4) many quilt patterns need precision, acute angles to develop the curvy illusions (e.g. Storm at Sea); (5) this method is essentially sewing identical squares together without bothering to calculate the seam allowance to keep the points and has no accurate way to cut the diagonals (there are formulas for this; know them and employ them: Pythagoras is your friend ); and (6) I can sew this block accurately and quickly without using this method.
The block looks great, but won’t watch you again just because of your background music. If you do more without background music I would enjoy watching your videos as your voice is very pleasing.
Probably could have been a nice tutorial (what I could see of it). All the other tutorials I watch are full screen on my TV but this was a narrow column in the center. Background music isn’t necessary (I ain’t got nobody) and is annoying. What a shame.
A lot of beginner tutorials think they should have music on in the background and it really isn’t necessary and it’s an extra step that takes quite a bit of time And I don’t understand why people film this way because this is not how you watch television and yes, it would’ve been a lot more helpful if they turned their camera to landscape position instead of portrait Hopefully they will understand that we are only trying to help
There is no way I would do this technique. Every edge is cut on a bias which can result in a really wonky block. If you are going to spend the money on the fabric, spend the time on doing this correctly. It isn’t that hard to do it the regular way. And at our last quilt guild there was a demonstration on why not to cut using this method. Every seasoned quilter agreed.
No I do not work with quilt police. However, as a retired operating room nurse, I learned there was the right way to cut and a wrong way to cut. I also like to have a quilt look as good and straight after washing as it did before washing.
@showmegalusa4521 note the giggle emoji… She made a direct statement RE: all bias edges, warnings & what to do about it. No one is trying to insult you. I’m sorry that you were offended
I think you’re correct about all of those bias edges and I’m also not thrilled about the blunted corners on the squares. I’ve actually made a quilt using this method and I’m not happy with it. Sewing a traditional square-in-a-square is not difficult. If I need to make a lot of them, I just print up or draw a diagram for the placement of the triangles to speed up the process and guarantee accuracy
This method is very clever. I’d never seen it before. I will give it a try. Thanks Liz.
I tried this a few months ago and it turned out to be one of my favorites. Thank you for the great tutorial!!
Ive used this method, really fast, great for table toppers, cushions and fast quilt projects
Really like this! Planning on making one for my dining table and placing it diagonally. Thanks for taking your time to share this method.
New to quilting, had not seen that done before, thanks for sharing.
Very cool project. I will definitely check it out. Thanks 😊
I love this concept. As for the blunted points, well that's part of the pattern. It's consistent.
Oh my gosh. I love this. Can’t wait to try it.
Such great editing! And even better advice! Thank you!!

Love this for donation quilts!
I believe all the negative remarks could have been made in a much kinder manner. There are those that will appreciate this method. Be kind or move on.
What a great block! Thanks so much for your instructions.
Jenny Doan of missouri star quilt used this method and called it exploding block. I tried it and had no problem with bias stretching. Was fun!
Thanks so much for your great video- I’m looking forward to trying this. Hope you do more of these tip videos in the future!
Fun technique. Thank you for the video.
Cool , definitely going to try this
Thanks Liz! I think I might do 4 of these with 8 fabrics and make a queen size quilt. if my math is right, starting with a 5" center square should put me in the right area
Such a cute block! Thanks for sharing.

What a great idea!
I absolutely love this technique qill be trying this soon ❤
I love this approach and will give it a try. Thank you.

Thank you for this! Very inspiring
Really interesting, thank you…p.s. you sure have a nice speedy sewing machine.
Thanks for this tutorial...I'm going to try it next
That is beautiful!

I mean are you cutting of FCC thetop points of the previous row?
I like it!
Love your video. Will you tell me the model number of your Babylock sewing machine?😊
Lyric
This is Amazing
Thank you for tutorial. I’m going to try
Why the music? It was distracting.
I liked the music!
Music too loud!
She appears to be sewing in a shop. It is probably the shop music which maybe out of her control for filming.
Can you show how to fold those fat qyluarters into the star bundles?
I couldn't see any detail because there is no close up camera views. The video is small on my screen also. This method is a new approach to me. I prefer sharp corners but thank you for showing another option.
music is too loud
Pottstown, PA?
Yes
If you said the machine is 200.00 withe table, I will take depending on postage

Your background music is a bitter too loud. I want to hear what you have to say. The music drowns you out!😮
I have to turn the volume off so I don’t hear the music. SMH
I love the concept but couldn’t stand the music whic I did mute and watched the cc…
A little hard to hear. Maybe turn or fix the mic. differently.
The block looks great, but won’t watch you again just because of your background music. If you do more without background music I would enjoy watching your videos as your voice is very pleasing.
Too hard to hear. Bummer
Sorry but the music is very distracting
YOU ARE HARD TO HEAR
Sorry, sweetie, but the music is too loud and distracting. When youre recording, please turn it off.

I can’t say you’re wrong but I’ve got to ask: do you work with the quilting police? 😂
No I do not work with quilt police. However, as a retired operating room nurse, I learned there was the right way to cut and a wrong way to cut. I also like to have a quilt look as good and straight after washing as it did before washing.
This was actually addressed in the video! She said to stay stitch to avoid the wonkiness.

This method cuts off the points and makes it look like you did a poor job of sewing.
