Hello, I hope you are having a beautiful and creative day. I sent the day in my sewing room too and now I get to sit and watch you while I hand quilt. I hope you have a fabulous week ahead. Thank you for your time and posting this video!

[@diannenaworensky6698]

Hi Brenda, see that you are watching and learning like we are !! ✌🏻♥️

Thank you, Rob for the great reminders!

Thanks, Rob!

[@nursekate6772]

Thanks so much for this video! I'm getting ready to make a pinwheel quilt and this was perfect timing!

[@beckybramlett3515]

I just enjoy watching your videos !! I haven’t gotten the courage to even try to make a quilt square, let alone a quilt top. But you sure do make me want to .❤️❤️🥰

[@lesa6399]

Becky, just go for it! Once you do you’ll want to learn more!!! And the more you do, the more you learn & the better you’ll become! Try a table runner or a hot pad - just go for it!!!

[@jackietucker8942]

YOU CAN make a block, and a quilt!! Today’s quilters have so many tools that just weren’t around when I learned to quilt from my grandmother. We had Kansas City star patterns, newspapers to trace the pattern on, a pair of scissors. and in my case, a treadle machine!!

Brilliant has always, always learning from you. Thank you. Dave uk

[@annettesonneson3468]

This honestly came one day too late for me....however, now I will know the right way!

[@sandratorres9635]

Informative and useful, as always. Thanks Rob.

[@Xxgamerguy99]

WOW!!

[@apeasingorilla2722]

Thanks! Just the refresher I needed. Currently working in HST.

[@sharonhansen1568]

Very helpful Rob, thanks.

[@melterpstra8999]

Thankyou for the tips! I know it has it's downsides but I've started pressing seams open on pinwheels to reduce the bulk and using my slotted trimmer to square up the triangles.

[@sharonwhiteley4616]

I also found spraying a little water makes it easy to open then press

[@user-fk3gd8zx5p]

My opinion is that the Martelli rulers with the fussy cut windows are the perfect rulers for squaring blocks of any kind

[@marianadal6274]

Would you do a tutorial for an ON POINT quilt?. Love your videos!!

[@janiceprice7403]

Thank you

[@kathsch8966]

Love your videos. Im learning how to quilt and I watch all you videos. Can you do one on how to square a diamond shape ( 60* angles). Thanks.

[@Quiltie_vw_chica]

Hi rob. From Santa Maria ❤️❤️

[@sharonwhiteley4616]

You could also measure from the center line out

[@lisalu910]

Do you press OPEN that last seam - the one that joins the two rows of blocks? If you press it to one side, it will be too bulky on that side, right?

[@dedyrae]

Is this live?

[@kriscecere3601]

I want to know how to make the quilt behind you?!!
