    My mother-in-law and I just love the Illusion Block Quilt. We can't wait to make it. We are in awe of every quilt you make and look forward to every tutorial you do. It makes our day when we get a new one to watch. Thank you so much for taking your time to share with all your viewers easier ways to put a beautiful quilt together!!

    You are my star for the time when I have a rest or I am tired or sad. Even though I am from the other side of the ocean, from the Czech Republic I love sewing and especially patchwork for a long time. I found your tutorials about four years ago and since that I have loved them. For me it is a very pleasant way how to improve my listening skills in English and how to improve my sewing skills as well. Sitting with a cup of coffee, listening to one of your brilliant tutorials or looking at your fantastic fabrics in your shop, it is really the best way of spending my free time. I admire you and I thank you.

    How easy is That??? Now I know what to do with all those layer cakes I've been collecting. I be you could make two lap quilts out of one layer cake if you added a border. Thank you, Jenny!!

    I'm making this quilt for my son and his wife for their 10th anniversary in November. I'm using the That's A Moire 10" squares by Whistler Studios, and white and silver skinny strips. I have the blocks done and am now to the point of laying out the quilt top. Having a great time.

    My first granddaughter is going to college this year! Her style is very modern and I'm making this quilt for her with a layer cake of ocean nation (her favorite colors). I'm a confident beginner and I want her to have a piece of family with her when she goes away in the fall. Love your videos, watch at least a couple every day!!!

    Instead of cutting so many 1.5 inch blocks, sew a 1.5 inch strip of white down the side of a 5 inch and a 9 inch strip of gray and cut your 1.5 inch strips from those. No tiny blocks to sew!

  • @mariedunphyharding6726
    @mariedunphyharding6726 4 роки тому +2

    I started this pattern. Once you get the hang of it, it gets easier. Cut everything you need first, stack & put aside; start adding 1.5" bits to all your greys, re-stack. Then sew all pieces with long grey/white strip, put aside, etc. I find this way, is not as boring. M.

    Well, I would love to make the illusion Quilt for myself ......but I can honestly see making at least 2 of these quilts.....Not to mention I am going to order fabric for the Present Quilt. Jenny & family do such a great job....the videos are easy to follow, I wish I had known about MSQC a few years back....I probably would have made more quilts by now. I have made table runners, bags,a baby quilt ( 9 patch ) and now plan on making quilts for myself and my family.

    Love this quilt. It looks so easy and I am so glad I came across this pattern. I have a 10 layer cake that will be perfect for this. All I need to do is get the gray as I already have the 1 1/2" strips. Thanks Jenny. Love all your tutorials.

  • @Tressapa43
    @Tressapa43 9 років тому +5

    If you sew a 9inch strip to a 1 1/2inch strip then you can subcut it into your 1 1/2 inch segment . Do the same with the 5 inch grey and 1 1/2 inch white. It makes things so much faster.

  • @cosettehugo147
    @cosettehugo147 6 років тому +1

    Stitching the blocks together to create the rows is pretty easy. It's stitching the rows together that gets a little tricky. You need to press that final bottom border of each block up or down so you can can "nest" seams of one row to another row. Hope,this isn't too confusing.

I've also made a few quilts now using the method of sewing two squares together, marking from corner to corner and during on those lines only on one side. They also are beautiful and easy.

  • @sandrahubley7594
    @sandrahubley7594 10 років тому +2

    This looks so easy the way Jenny shows it. Was always a little intimidated by the "shadow". Think that I would add the 1½ inch white as a strip to a 9 inch grey and then subcut into the 1½" wide sections instead of adding the small 1½" white squares individually. The same to the 5 inch strip for the bottom.
