I just found you! I love how you explain the process and show your mistakes, like a real quilter! I’m making one of these quilts now. I had so much trouble joining the pieces by machine. I decided to hand sew them together like English paper piecing while watching TV. It goes very quickly,I’m basically just tacking them together, then I go to my machine and do a fancy stitch right away over the hand stitching. Works great, and no more picking out messy stitches. ,

Your tutorials are very useful and helpful

❤❤this pattern I'm attempting to make one using various blacks and also saving the flip cit offs

Great use of leftovers and your explanation was great. Thank you

Очень интересная техника,спасибо за идею.Очень красивая дорожка на стол.

I’m enjoying your tutorials very much. I have lots of off cuts saved but didn’t have any ideas about how to use them. Now I do! Thank you.

Prairie point pinwheel! Love the use of negative space. For those short on time, make a big block and set on point with colorful corners. You could also do a prairie point flange around the big block between the big block and the corners. Use a hump jumper on the nesting seams to keep stitches even. Just a darling pattern. Thank you.

Wonderful pattern. I better get busy raiding the scraps. 🎶💐💖🫂

I have no one in my off line life who quilts. I did not begin quilting until 2019. My family and professional life did not allow much time for any real hobbies. Luckily you can learn about anything on UA-cam. There is a local group, and I do plan to meet up with them. Time has not permitted so far. My entre into sewing was to make maternity jumpers as there was very little available to professional women at the time. A linen or wool gabardine jumper had a perfect marrying with our bow blouses! We did not wear pants. Oh so long ago!

Such a clever pattern. Thank you for sharing.

I also espouse this ruler because you can cut squares and HSTs from the same width of a strip. Thanks for showing us this fantastic patchwork block.

I have several of these types of triangle rulers. I use my CG Folded Corner Clipper for most things. (I use Magic 8 method for non scrappy stuff). They are underused and demonstrated in my view. Thank you for doing this. I have great productivity/time saver for you and your viewers: Cut rectangles, and then simply align your ruler 1x and cut 1x. Your rectangle is: H= height of strip. W= H + .75. If you have a 2.5" strip, cut rectangles that are 2.5" H and 3.25" W. If you are cutting from a width of fabric, cut at the width (3.25" for this example) and use a Stripology ruler to easily subcut into 2.5 rectangles. Double up your fabric for even greater yield from each cut. (You do need sharp blade). Why .75"? The .75 comes from the following: 3/8" is the width of the flat top of the 1/4" mark (the 1/4" is on an angle, so the top of it = 3/8"). You need 2 x 3/8= 6/8", or .75" so that you get the seam allowance for both pieces. This method works for cutting sides for Triangle in Squares, Split Rectangles, etc. It saves lots of ruler turning. Give it a try. (Always make a test first)

P. S. I have been grabbing fabric images and loading them into my EQ8--That really helps me audition fabrics through the entirety of the design and make design/fabric changes until I have a IKIWISI (I know it when I see it) moment. That step has helped me save tears and curse words (at least on that front).

Thanks for sharing this. You've made three different quilts, and each is beautiful. The rendition that you did not present is the typical that many see: light on dark and dark on light, and alternating the blocks. The all light corners (highlights the interior blocks with float in the circle) AND the all dark corners (which creates a bold frame) are both very striking. The light on light and dark on dark obviates the illusion as you note. Thanks for presenting this (and directing me here). A 3x3 presentation (using larger blocks) presentation makes a lovely baby quilt for those looking for smaller projects. One could simply use 2 colors/fabrics that have sufficient contrast. Diamond Rectangles work well as borders for these quilts too. I keep a notebook on maker's notes for particular blocks and patterns that I do. For this block: (1) scant 1/4"; (2) full quarter on sewing the corners to maintain points); (3) spin seams; (4) press corners to the dark fabric (for nesting). I've been cutting my scraps into 3.5" wedges and 2.5" CST's (using my CG folded corner clipper) to make my 6"F blocks.

That ruler has been languishing unused in a drawer for years! I love scrappy and have made numerous ones with HST’s. Right now I have Bonnie Hunter’s Happily Scrappily Irish Chain on my bed. This project looks right up my alley and I think it is the white bg like my Irish Chain.

I found that if I sew the 2.5 strips together and just flip the ruler back and forth it is much faster (and still very accurate!).

I just found your video and I think this was brilliant! I am new to quilting and have seen many many videos so far. I like Lea Louise because she uses fat quarters a lot and shows how to cut them up but I love how you used every bit possible in your quilt. Fabric is expensive, I have found, and I hate wasting any of it. Thanks for showing us how to do this. I will be following your channel and I hope to learn a lot more from you! 😊❤

Beautiful quilt. Thank you for sharing.

I’ve been watching your tutorials lately and I need to tell you how much I appreciate what you’re teaching. I’ve had this ruler and this book for decades and I’m now excited to finally use them. You explain so thoroughly. And your voice is so pleasant to listen to. Thank you so much.

Just stunning😊

What a great idea. I have 5 granddaughters and I always make a little gift for each of them, so these will be perfect.

That turned out beautiful. Thanks for sharing how you made it.

See also the ruler from Charisma Horton which is only for 2.5 strips or 4.5 x 5.25 blocks. Easy Angle is more versatile in terms of many sizes. She calls hers Banana Split, but it's the same. She does have GREAT patterns for it.

Hi Michelle! HST's are my favorite block; they're so versatile. Believe it or not, this is a ruler that I don't have! I do have the 1000 Quilt Blocks book - it's great. I love the quilt!

thx

Hi Michelle! I love that ruler and use it all the time for hst’s. I also have the companion angle ruler that I use with it to make flying geese! No waste and I get great results. Thanks for sharing another beautiful quilt ❤

I’m not usually a fan of scrappy quilts, but this one is gorgeous.

Beautiful quilt! Thank you for sharing. I don't have that ruler but I'm trying to figure out how to use a regular ruler and mark the strip where to sew/cut. I'll have to do some testing.

I just bought this ruler this month! Thanks for the info.

Michelle, was excited to see your Ribbon Quilt ,made by a local lady at a Quilt Exhibition today , inspired by yourself , well done x

The Easy Angle ruler and Omnigrid 96 are very similar and I love them! I find I can get much more accurately pieced HSTs by cutting the triangles before I sew. I also cut off the point of the triangles before I sew them together so that I don't have to deal with those pesky dog ears after sewing. Another reason I like to cut the triangles from strips is that you can get more triangles from the width of fabric, with less waste, This is definitely a quilt I'll be working on! Thanks for great inspiration.

This ruler is similar to the Creative Grids Folded Corner Clipper ( I think that's the name) created by Susan North I think. I have it permanently in my racks of go-to rulers. It means I can cut hsts from a jelly roll strip when I'm making something that cuts up a strip into different lengths. Also perfect to trim corners so snowballs end up being simply another 1/4" seam to stitch.

Thank you so much for sharing this lovely quilt 😊, I 😍😍it a lot and I am going to use all my hst’s to make it, thanks again.

Have you seen Lori Dickman's UA-cam? She loves using scrap fabric also. I love this quilt. On my bucket list now. Thank you

I have been making half square triangles for my starters and enders. This pattern will work for me. Thank you. Enjoy your tutorial s

Love your scrappy Kaleidoscope quilt.

A nice feature of this ruler is that you can cut the HSTs and the solid pieces from the same width strip.

I need the ruler when trimming to avoid cutting fingers! I need to try this when I get back to using bits and pieces, almost done with my huge project.

Beautiful!

Love this ruler and Bonnie has tutorial on her UA-cam on using this ruler. Have made one big bH scrappy and now doing another big BH scrappy. Thank you Michelle for your quilt patterns and your tutorials.🥰

Great quilt design Michelle -thank you for sharing

Thanks Michelle, that’s a good one. I have tubs of HST all with different backgrounds but I think it would still work. My little quilting group do Scrappy September where I take in my huge tub of scraps and it’s open season! We had so much fun last year, really looking forward to this year and your scrappy ribbon quilt might be just the ticket.

Beautiful quilt! ❤

Really fantastic Michelle!!!!! I love it!! the HST's seem a tad daunting, but hey... that's what we do. I find the repetitive to be a bit therapeutic sometimes. As soon as you'd sewn together the 4 blocks, could see the ribbons... How sweet is that?? Thanks, as always for your tutorials, and for the patterns you provide!! xoxox e. NB 🇨🇦

The quilt is so pretty. Thanks for sharing

Great block.❤

Very nice. Time consuming it appears though.

I have that ruler. The quilt is beautiful.

It's going to be a beautiful quilt! Thank you for sharing the process with us!

Sounds like fun! Can’t wait to get started!
