      Oh goodness--I can't believe I forgot to mention that! They are 4.5" x 6.5" unfinished (before in a quilt) or 4" x 6" finished. So sorry! I am going to pin this post so others know. Thank you for asking this question!

    I love these blocks. The longest part of making these for me would be cutting all my scraps and sorting. I have heaps of goodness knows what because I don't sort and cut when I have finished making something but rather put them in a bag and that's it. Naughty me. Sewing these would be great to do at a sewing retreat. I have to do no brainer things because there is so much laughing and joking going on and at, it seems, every hour we are having a coffee or tea and eating!!! Will love to see your finished quilt.

    Thanks for sharing this! I used to play around with the MILE A MINUTE blocks years ago, and it's a great scrap buster. As far as i know, the technique was developed by Carol Coski. She wrote an article for the Winter, 2000, issue of American Quilter magazine, which is where I first learned of it. Somewhere, I have a "pattern" of sorts, also written by Carol.

    • @SewtheDistance
      @SewtheDistance  Рік тому

      Oh my goodness! THANK YOU! I have looked everywhere, Dusty! I wanted to make sure to give credit to the creator of this technique. I am glad it is the timeframe I thought it was--I kept thinking, "Am I remembering that right?" LOL! Thank you so much for this.

    Yes, love house blocks. A question though. If you add 1.5 sides to the crumb block that measures 6.5, your roof should be larger that 6.5. Or, did I miss something.

      Oh my. Did I make a mistake in the measurements I gave? 😬 The flying geese block measures 4.5" x 8.5" finished (before in the block). I will have to go back and see what I said! Sorry about that!

    I love the Halloween quilt! I love it! It reminds me of the wonky Christmas tree maybe I will through a couple in. #Holiday patchwork forest.

      I don't think I have watched that one! I am going to check it out! This would be adorable as a tree, although you would really have to watch those edges. Hmmmmm. I will have to try that. Thank you!

    Love it. Doesn't it hurt your cutting mat using your wool mat. I have heard others say it puts moisture down.

      It probably would if I did it all the time. I only do it in my videos so I don't have to change cameras or camera angles. I probably should be showing better sewing habits, however. LOL! Sorry about that!

    Hi Kris was wondering if you have finished your Mile a Minute house quilt yet and if you put boarders between you houses

    • @SewtheDistance
      @SewtheDistance  Рік тому

      I have been working on finishing the blocks up, so I think I am going to sash it with Christmas fabric. A friend of mine made one and that's that she did. It looks really nice! I need to get it up on my design wall. I made the roofs red and green and I think I am going to alternate the red and green blocks. Loving how it turned out!

    I had that same table you cut on in my sewing room (we put casters on mine) but my room was just too small. My late husband had put it in there for me and so I couldn't remember how he got it in there - lol! I had to take the legs off to get it out. It was a chore!! I like your houses. Thanks for sharing some of the dimensions. I guess after you make the original center, you keep adding strips until it gets bigger than the 6.5". Will you lose your roof eaves/points when you sew the blocks together? The halloween version is cute and I think a patriotic one will be cute too!

    • @SewtheDistance

      Hi! Love that table, too. We got it for $5 from Facebook Marketplace, and it has been in many different areas of my house over the years. Worth every penny! LOL! As for the roof portion, You don't loose the points with the sizes I gave, but I think it has to do with how you make the flying geese units. I patriotic one would be super cute! Thank.you for watching and commenting! ❤️
