So straightforward! I’m a beginner quilter and this has helped tremendously. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I am not a pattern person. so this freeform format will be great for me. thank you so much for posting! 😃
I loved designing on graph paper and then sewing. Quilting this way allows me to combine my creative side with my mathematical logical side.
Clear and succinct. Best instructions yet seen for designing my own quilts. Thank you.
Thank you. I’m about to start on my first, ever, quilt of my own design. I now have a great foundation to build on.
How is your quilt going?
its like an AMAZING puzzle made from fabric. incredible.
That was a wonderful tutorial! Thank you so much for breaking the process down into a workable model!
Fantastic! Happy I found you!
Thank you! I have searched for something like this for a bit. It makes sense when you explain it!
Thank you for this info!! It's just what I needed.
Exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Fantastic video, it really helped. I’m starting a quilt of valor tomorrow that will have a center panel.
Very helpful! Thank you so much for sharing! 🙌🏽
Such good, clear directions. Thank you!
This was a great video. I am trying to make my first quilt and never knew how. With all the replies and your video I might me able to do it. Thank you
Thanks for this tutorial. This really helped a lot. 😊
THANK YOU!!!! This is extremely helpful and makes designing a cinch. I am designing a quilt as a gift. I have two basic patterns--a 24" cross "block" alternating with a 24" diagonal "block". Although the cross element and the diagonal element are the same sizes, when I rotate the cross element from true North/South/East/West to create an "X" design element, the resulting diagonal pattern does not touch the edge of the "block"; angling the cross on the diagonal results in the need for a 2 inch block border. The N/S/E/W cross pattern positioning extends to the edge of the "block".
I can easily use 4 inch squares to create most of the diagonal pattern and 3 inch squares to create the most of cross pattern resulting in traditional blocks such as a square created from two triangles or flying geese that I can sew (that is one of the most important lessons I learned from the video). The pattern breaks down into traditional blocks pretty easily with a few exceptions. I am left with a few odd strips to complete each of the larger blocks much like the contemporary quilt in your last example.
The original concept was to create the appearance of a "traditional" quilt with a consistent background fabric. The small patchwork pieces needed to complete each of the larger blocks will result in mismatched backgrounds in a few places consistently on each block. Since my original goal was to have a consistent background, would you recommend designing the background material to be sewn with smaller pieced squares for a more consistent "random" pieced appearance? I thought larger strips of background with a few smaller pieces of various sizes around the cross and diagonal elements might look more like a mistake or detract from the strong alternating design. I hope this makes sense. Any thoughts anyone? I do not want to applique the main cross and diagonal design elements because I think getting them in the proper position and distance would be even more difficult.
Thank you for the tutorial!
Great video - very helpful to me - thanks for making it.
Excellent. Thank you !
very helpful and inspiring. Thank you!
Thanks so much , I will have to brush up on my math but you help a lot.
How do I give you 5 thumbs up? I love your process and explanation. Thank you!
Thank You! 😺
Thanks!!
helpful for me..
Very well communicated.
I tried to design a 4 pt star square. Seems simple enough. Wrong. It's a lovely 5 pt star
I'm confused on the math. Finding the mesurents of the pattern
so imple made better thank you. RTM
I’m sorry, but I think your math is a little wonky. You have a centre block that is 8”x8”, but the smaller corner squares are 3”x3”. Shouldn’t the larger square be 6”x6”?
Yes. Her math is wrong. If you follow her instructions youd end up with a rectangle.
Yes, 6 by 6 finished to match up with the 3 inch corner blocks
Pov: andito ka kasi may performance task ka na dimo na gets.
Hello, Do you have a tutorial on how to design your own stencils? Not the cutting out part, but the designing for your quilt and exact into your pattern part? Thank you.
ok, I am confused ( and if you personally knew me, you would not be surprised at my confusion)… when measuring a block (8x8 for example) should you not allow a 1/4 inch seam allowance on EACH SIDE of the block? It seems to me that you are only allowing a 1/4 seam allowance on 2 sides of the block.. So, if I want an 8x8 finished square, should it not be 8 and 1/4 on each side when cutting? And would that not make it an 8x8 block after it has been sewed ? I might be misunderstanding you.. It seems to me that you are only allowing a 1/4 seam allowance on 2 sides and not all 4 sides.. Thanks for your video.. God Bless..
Since you are sewing the block in place next to other blocks and you want them to be square you will need 1/4 on all four sides. If you want the piece to be 8x8 when it is done you will need 1/4 + 8 + 1/4 on both of the sides of your square, but that is a block without anything. If you want to add more designs to the block you will have to take into account every seem (which will set you back another 1/4 times two if you think about it...). Hope you understand my explanation....
@Sky Walker thank you .. I think I understand it now. God bless..
Nice mem
Is the math wrong??
