    Your Classic and Vintage series is my favorite! I also welcome the challenge of the more difficult blocks. Your directions are so well done, I know I will succeed!

    Yes please do add more aspirational blocks/patterns to your tutorials from time to time. A stretch out of my comfort zone is less intimidating if I can watch you do it….and oh so rewarding to do🎉

    New block to me! Love the bright colors & how well your blouse color look with your consistently excellent tutorial !!
    Personally I enjoy the challenges of more "difficult" patterns. Always great to see them in other basic colors!

    The block is awesome!! Particularly in the multi colored quilt. This is my favorite series and I like being challenged with more difficult blocks!! I am definitely going to make this!!!! It would be great in the 1930’s Bella solids too! ❤❤❤

    Love this series! The Gretchen block looks more difficult than it actually is (love when that happens😃) Thank you for sharing - I’d like more blocks that are intermediate to difficult to challenge my skills.

    That block is so pretty and shown in the quilt, it looks phenomenal. I just love this series so much. Since I am now in the Lori Holt fat quarter club, this would be a great use of one of those months’ quarters. I have one planned using the July, August, and September’s fabrics so this might be Octobers. Thanks so much for doing this series!! I love the white on white fabric used!

    i do not know how i missed the live i was on. i always watch i am just quite lol. i come from a long line of quilters but i didnt get to learn from the last generation because i was working so i been trying to teach myself basics. I like watching you because you are so precious. i love the classic and vintage series. there is an old block my grandma made called grandmas engagement ring. it is not anything like the wedding ring block maybe you can find the pattern and do that one. i cam not find a pattern for it but maybe it also has another name i dont know and i am not sure exactly how to find old patterns. this block you are doing now is very pretty thank you for showing how to do it with out having to buy papers. most of my quilts have just been scrappy quilts because i am trying to use all the boxes of scraps i got of my moms and grandmas there's no big pieces i am down to 2 large totes. i have done a few Dresden plates lots of 9 patches and what i call a crazy quilt i cute 14 inch squares and reach in a box of pieces to small to cut anything out of as far as i know and just sew them on the squares then sew the squares together and its a top lol. none of my quilts have been perfect but i get better with each one i do. i bought 2 fat quarters to make a quilt for me as a reward when i get rid of all the scraps. Would this quilt look ok out of prints instead of solids? I would like to try it. but my dream quilt is the quilt on my grandmas bed called grandmas engagement ring. that is what i bought those fat quarters for lol

    How much of the RAINBOW SHERBERT fabric is needed to make this quilt? Fat eighth or fat quarter bundle?

    • @517Lowryschannel-ve6hg
      @517Lowryschannel-ve6hg Рік тому

      Okay...I just heard her say it is 16 fat quarters for the LAP SIZED QUILT. That is basically (1) FQ per block made. Perfect! This would be really pretty done in scrappy Christmas fabrics.

    • @EBennett517
      @EBennett517 Рік тому +1

      It looks like a person could get away with (1) fat eighth per block with careful cutting. Cutting down the length of the 21" side, cut (3) 5" squares. Take the 3rd 5" square and subcutaneous into (4) 2.5" squares. Cut a 3" square down that same side. Next row, cut (7) 3" squares. There is not much wiggle room, but it could be done.
