    I have been binge-watching your tutorials because they are packed full of such great tips!! I love that you not only show the "how" but also explain the "why!" If you made the Sewmando organizer, I would LOVE a tutorial on that. I have a very small sewing space, and that type of organizer would be AWESOME to keep my table tidy! God gave you a wonderful gift for teaching! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent!!

    The amount of effort you go through for these videos is amazing. A finished quilt behind you, having the pieces for a strip set on hand, having a partial strip set on hand, having a partial quilt top on hand. You’ve got, what, 3? 4? unfinished quilts going on just to teach us as thoroughly as possible! That is such a dedication to your audience to make quilting this look as doable as possible

    I like the seam allowances to face the machine, it helps to force the intersection to match more accurately

    AWESOME tutorial. I love the checkerboard and knight, but it's SO easily adapted to so many other things...a couple more appliques and it could easily be an Alice in Wonderland theme, or racing themed. Love love love this tutorial!!

    Rob, thanks so much for yet another great tutorial! I love this because it’s such a different way of piecing! Great job!

    Plan to make this but want to make it larger. So many options going thru my head to add red borders and checkered pieces to extend it. Thanks for a great video.

    Love the quilt. Just wondering, would it be easier to do the stitch in the ditch quilting before applying the appliqué? Then there’s no messing about around the chess piece.

    Love this! It reminds me of the old Have Gun Will Travel tv show. I would also like to see what this would look like in rainbow colors.

    Rob, I love your videos for sewing. Truly educational! Can you please make a video about how to make a flounce? (not a ruffle). I'm remaking some tunics that I've grown out of, I want to cut them up the middle and add a flounce on either side and wear it like a jazzy sweater/blouse/jacket (with maybe another flounce at the elbow in some cases...)! It will be fun to add a complimentary color and fabric etc. I like repurposing clothes. I know there is some calculation involved! Thank you! You're wonderful!

    Now this one looks like fun. Could you use 2 pattered batiks instead of solids? I’m wanting to try that. :)

  • @felixlapue5025
    @felixlapue5025 6 років тому +2

    Did I miss something? In the download, it has 1 3/4 and 2 3/4 duplicated, but none of the other widths. Typo? Or do we cut 4 of those particular strips?

  • @annmichel1577
    @annmichel1577 5 років тому

    Is it best to increase by 2's? Instead of cutting 2 of each size, cut 4? Or can you increase by adding one to each number?

  • @mimivallone2449
    @mimivallone2449 2 роки тому

    Has anyone made this quilt larger? I am thinking I would increase the blocks til I have the size I want? But does it have the same effect?

    This would be super cute as a baby quilt but instead of a Chess Knight a race car or his racing number for my friend who races. 🤔💡😀

  • @FoggyHollowMan
    @FoggyHollowMan 6 років тому +1

    I'm a little confused on how to make this into a larger quilt, twin or full? Rob said can be made into any size, but how?

    • @donnasteward7670
      @donnasteward7670 6 років тому

      I would think you could add more large or larger pieces to the center. Or start with wider strips.

    • @felixlapue5025
      @felixlapue5025 6 років тому

      I purchased material in red additionally, so I can have 2 squares in black and white, and 2 squares in red and white. With a red applique and a black applique. That would double the size Rob made.

    How would you adjust the measurements to create a full size quilt? I hope to gift to a coworker that is struggling with a pregnancy of twins. I want an optical illusion to take their mind off the issues.

    Hi Rob, I love this tutorial. But when I click on link for free applique pattern it can't be found. I do a lot of business with MSQC I hate that they have taken away the opportunity to still create from your old patterns well anything free. Is there any way I can get my hands on it?

    Error on the download! Dear Rob, I noticed on the download you have duplicated measurements. I’m assuming it is a typo. Can you clarify? Love watching and learning from you. Thank you!🥰
