Love love love this block! I received a layer cake as part of a subscription box. It wasn't in colors I would have chosen (but I wanted to get out of my comfort zone). I did not like the pattern that I was suppose to use and it required a lot of additional fabrics. I was not into so much additional expense for a fabric I was not in love with. So I went looking for blocks that could be made with 10" squares. Even though this pattern calls for 10.5" squares, I knew it would work. The blocks are spectacular! I haven't made all the blocks yet, but I will be able to make 21 blocks. A nice throw & a pillow.
Hi Laura, I’ve been enjoying your videos.. what a wonderful fun family you have, y’all crack me up! I’ve watched this arrow block video a few times now, I love the look 🥰 💖👍💖 I cannot wrap my head around how you came up with sewing & cutting it this way, it’s Genius👏☺️ Thank you so much. God Bless y’all, Happy New Year, Chris-Raleigh NC
That was a fantastic cutting tip. I couldn't wait to find out what the pieces would be like. I would.... No, I mean.... I will make some mixed color blocks for a quilt. I love this
This is very interesting and faster than the way I was taught. Thank you for stressing measurement before doing the cutting lines. I will have to try it your way. I would love to do it with red, white, and blue fabrics to make a Quilt of Valor, Thank you again
I like finding "tricks" to make the sewing quicker or easier or both and then sharing them with you. Measuring and squaring is so important; I just wish I had found that out earlier. I think this would be beautiful in the red white and blue. Be sure to post your finished block on our Facebook page. Thanks for watching.
This method of making the Arrowhead block with 3-cuts was introduced by Anita Grossman Solomon in her book Rotary Cutting Revolution, May 2010 C & T Publishing.
Newbie here. So at 2:12 she mentioned sewing around the squares but leaving 2 inch openings or "pockets" at opposite sides of the squares. She said it's very important but never mentioned what the function of this technique was. I replayed the video but I still couldn't find the answer. Did I miss something? This is a beautiful block and I do appreciate the making and sharing all the info.
I am sorry about that Virginia. I will have to make sure I explain things like that better in future videos. This is mainly to make sure the four patch in the middle works.
Ok, that was really cool! It was like watching card tricks at a magic show! I’m new to quilting/sewing so I really appreciate your style of teaching. So many videos on measuring and squaring up say “line up your ruler on this line” , “measure to here” or “put your ruler there” trouble is I can never really tell exactly where “there is”. 🥴 Thanks for saying and showing the sq up lines. #measuringanxiety
You are very welcome, Jennifer. I know what you mean. I am not an expert so I try to teach at the level I would understand. So many times the teachers just assume everyone knows how to do the simple things and that is just not true. Thank you so much for watching and your comments.
Hi Denise. I try not to show things like pressing in every video since a few of our viewers have seen it may times before, but I do show the regular tasks every now and then. I did do a video specificly showing pressing and squaring. You can find it here - ruclips.net/video/ujkVqxnl_YA/видео.html. I hope this helps.
Wow fancy lady. I am not that fancy girl might try the quilt as you go in a string block without the sashing now got a question for a lap quilt in what would be the best size for a string block how many would i need across yikes no good at math lol from Newfoundland Canada July 14 wet and foggy out here
Thank you, you are an excellent teacher and I love those fabrics!!!
Thank you so much!
Lovely quilt block. Well done you. 👋💐🇦🇺👏
That looks like it would be so complicated and you make it look so much easier thank you
I love the tricks I have learned along the way. Thanks for watching!
This is great! Good teacher. Thank you for speaking so calmly and slowly doing the block step by step. Very clear and easy to follow.
Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch.

Thank you so much for watching, Chris. But genius I am not. I just try to pick up new tricks all the time to make it easier
I’ve been looking for easy 12 1/2 inch blocks. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! This will be my next one. 👏

Great block, love the size! You do make it look so easy and I will try this. Although I’m leaning toward using just two colors. Thank you for sharing.

Fun watching and learning from you. Love the pattern. Your a great teacher.
You are too sweet! I am still a student, just sharing what I am learning. I am glad you liked the pattern. I am having so much fun with it!
Absolutely wonderful tutorial and you made it look so easy! Thank you
Thank you so much. My husband does a good job of editing...lol. Seriously it is extremely easy with the trick I used in the video.
Beautiful block, thank you! I appreciate the “ getting right to the block” !
Thank you. It is probably one of my favorites.
I love to watch your new ideas for quilts
I love it when I can find a trick to make complicated looking blocks easier. Thank you for watching.
Love the block. I would alternate them. Going to make a patriotic theme!
What a neat idea!
Very interesting! Thinking cute Christmas quilt!!! 😁
I agree. Doing it in Christmas colors or prints would be great.
Incredible!
Thank you so much.
Fantastic, love your method! Im going to try it soon!
Thank you so much. I really enjoyed making this one.
Thank you! I’d make them all the same! Beautiful block!
Thank you for your thoughts.

Virginia Valentin the pocket is so the four patch in the middle works out. It’s not a “pocket” per se
Thank you for helping clarifiy that, Cheryl

That was a very slick trick
Two 10s make a 12” block
Thank you

So if I have a 9 and 1/2 block to start with how wide would I make my strips?
A very nice block...in the future can you show how to press seams, too.
