    Hi Amy! You bring sunshine to my day! Vacation in September with sewing machine. Uh oh! Where's my cutting mat? On the dining table at home, ready to be packed with sewing supplies. The dollar in town did not have any. Luckily JoAnn fabrics in town. Yes, even a sale going on. 5 by 7 worked just fine. I use a smaller ruler for 1.5 inch blocks. Oh, can I see it ok? Marion.

    Maybe use an 18mm rotary cutter with the 1.5” block lock ruler. 😊

  • @venus8296
    @venus8296 5 місяців тому

    Thanks, Amy. That was a fun episode! I love 1 1/2" squares, HSTs, and strips. It's my go-to size. Even though they're stupidly expensive, I bought the 1 1/2" and 2 1/2" bloc locs - didn't know they existed! I was using the larger bloc loc for small HSTs, but the small ones will save a lot of time and fiddling. And bought a small cutting mat, too. I've tried at lease three rotating mats, and they just make me nuts.

    • @amydement.
      @amydement.  5 місяців тому

      Thanks so much! I agree those tiny rulers are quite spendy, but they are the right tool for the job sometimes. Thanks for watching and for sharing.

  • @IndecisiveQuilter
    @IndecisiveQuilter 5 місяців тому +2

    I'm currently trimming 1.5" HSTs with my 6.5" Blockloc. I'm trying to minimise the number of rulers I buy, but I can definitely see that the 1.5'" Blockloc with a tiny mat would speed up my process. And it's cute!

    • @amydement.
      @amydement.  5 місяців тому

      Yes. I forget to mention that the big block will trim all the sizes because I use the small one so often! Thanks for the reminder!

    • @amydement.
      @amydement.  5 місяців тому

      It's so good! I know the bigger ones trim all the sizes but the tiny one makes it so easy that I’ll actually DO it! 😊♥️

    Hello Beautiful!😍 I just watched Merry Mabel Market making a “Donut” quilt. When she does her stitch and flip corners she makes the tiny HST’s with the extra corners. She’s planning a video with what she makes with them. I can’t wait to see what you make with yours. I just acquired the Omnigrid press and cut mat. I LOVE it. ( I got it for $12 at an auction🎉) Happy cutting.

    I cannot love my bloc loc rulers more! But the best thing: I have a reallly old tv tray that has a small lip on the edges, my omnigrid flip mat fits perfectly inside this lip! I take that old tv tray to retreats, put it next to me, and I can cut or press without having to get up!!

    Wow! I don't think I would ever actively use 1.5 inch blocks certainly not enough to create a whole quilt! I have never seen a sandpaper mat...I am intrigued ❤

    • @amydement.
      @amydement.  5 місяців тому

      I’m sure at some point I will believe that the entire quilt of tiny square is the worst idea I’ve ever had😆. The sandpaper board is really a useful tool. Almost a singular use item BUT it really works!
