I really appreciate your teaching skills and your attitude. You don't intimidate or discourage hints and tips from your followers. You make us feel like friends.
The video is fantastic, with no problems with streaming of video. I love your selection of fabrics, making for really gorgeous blocks. Thank you for your efforts! May you be blessed with peace, happiness, prosperity, good health, and wonderful quilts.
No problem. Since this quilt along is for beginners I am taking it one step at a time. Next time we'll be planning, measuring, calculating, cutting and sewing on the sashing strips. Thanks for following along.
Just a suggestion....next time starch your blocks really well before you do any trimming. This is a tip I learned from a June Tailor video and it makes trimming them SO much easier and much more accurate.
I never cease to be amazed at your skills and talents. I liked this video because I wasn't sure how to square my quilt, thank you again for this video. I wish you lived closer to Wisconsin:-)
Thank you so much for your videos on quilting...I am a beginning quilter and was ready to just give up until I saw this video on how to square up blocks..halfway thru my queen size quilt top I realized it was not square no matter how I tried to correct it..I now know how thanks to your video..also gonna get the rotating block ruler!
I had a block that I took the whole thing apart, squared up the squares/hst, then resewed it, and it worked! When I'd looked at it, I was ashamed at how crappy it looked and knew I could do much better! Looked great when I finally got done with it.

I was hoping you were going to add the stips in between the blocks. I have started another qult using some of your blocks and some I made up. THanks Vanessa.
Hi there...thank you for this very helpful tutorial. At about the 7:13 mark there is a striped pink/yellow block with a square block insert. Can you tell me how to make this block?
How does one square up a quilt block in which cutting edges to square it would cut away important parts of the block. I'm making Granny squares and they are not consistent sizes. But if I cut them to all be the same it will cut parts of the squares within the blocks. Is it more important to keep the design intact or to have them be consistent in size when joined into rows?
I have a question, I am making a quilt, and some of my blocks I have embroidered on, and a couple of the embroidered blocks, are smaller than the others. How can I make each block the same size? perhaps adding some of the fabric to the embroidered blocks, do you have a video on that?
Hi I do not live in the USA and we do not have rotary mats and cutters available here. Can you suggest a good long lasting brand (size 24 x 36) so that I can order for shipping. I was looking at Fiskars brand.
I could... but that is too much work for me. I rather re-do it and make sure it comes out perfectly and just use that one in another project-- like a pillow cover or something. That's just me. But there are a few things you could do to save it, say, you were using a specific fabric collection and didn't have any more, etc.
I found this to be confusing to follow mainly because it did not have actual instructions to make sure I was centering the block so I would be cutting each side correctly.
Frustrated with this. Every 3 to 7 seconds it kept cutting out on me. Has anyone else had this problem or is it my computer. Will try again another time to watch this video

3 yrs ago? I'm still confused on this. But im.much better at sewing the blocks straight so I'm not too far off!😁
Vanessa thank you so much!!... Tus videos han sido de gran ayuda para mí-!!!
I want to know how to make that quilt block!! The one showing during the first two minutes that you are cutting first. I LOVE it!
Yay! Glad you enjoyed it. It was kind of long but I wanted to get all that info in there. :o)
Very useful - thank you!
I am from Trinidad and Tobago and I am currently working on my final year design project. I will be doing a large quilt size 7ft x 8ft

Excellent!
The black/white/red quilt you showed at the end is GORGEOUS. I love your designs. Do you have patterns available?
I was hoping you were going to add the stips in between the blocks. I have started another qult using some of your blocks and some I made up. THanks Vanessa.
Thank you I am a beginner and learned a lot from this tutorial :)

Thanks much! U r the BEST!
Great instruction!
Your blocks are very interesting and eye catching. Will be watching for more of your video’s.
Thanks!
I don't care much about quilting but I watched this anyway because I like listening to your voice. (I mean this is a non-creepy way.)
according to sharon schamber network you can use starch for resizing larging and make it smaller!!! i tried it and it works!!
yup.. I've seen it called a Double Z block too. Have fun!
No problem! Glad to hear it! :o)
Thanks so much! Glad to hear it. :o)

How do you make the Orange block with the white squares?

great job

How did you end up doing the blocks you redid differently?
What happens if the block is too small or the blocks are different sizes on the top and the bottom
I have a question, I am making a quilt, and some of my blocks I have embroidered on, and a couple of the embroidered blocks, are smaller than the others. How can I make each block the same size? perhaps adding some of the fabric to the embroidered blocks, do you have a video on that?
Any tutes on tied quilts?
Thanks! :o)
What if your quilt blocks are bigger than 12 inch but all same size…. Will the blocks look right if they are bigger

Se puede traducir al español ?
hello I'm making a quilt , that is all 9" what ruler should I use to square up .
Not sure if anyone answered you, but you can use a square that his larger and put glo tape at 9" or purchase a 9" square ruler.
Couldn't you take apart your pinwheel block and trim the interior seams to make it smaller?
I could... but that is too much work for me. I rather re-do it and make sure it comes out perfectly and just use that one in another project-- like a pillow cover or something. That's just me. But there are a few things you could do to save it, say, you were using a specific fabric collection and didn't have any more, etc.

I found it in your other video, half square triangle.
You look so cute
Thanks... O Te ves am
por favor en español que tu lo hablas perfectamente
Thanks.... Te ves delgada!!!! ;-)

You are a very beautiful lady. Very pleasant to watch your videos.
It's the pink and white block that shows at the 1:25 minute mark.
Please get a new sharper rotary blade. Watching you cut with that rotary cutter is making me cringe.
I have never seen anyone "saw" their cuts like that, very bad habit! There are much better videos on UA-cam for squaring up blocks.
Charlotte I think her blade needed changing.
