Thx! Not sure if this is why the commenter said what s/he said, , but many of us are "afraid" of using those markers. Sometimes they don't remove so well. TFS this really neat block! You did it well!!!
Probably because folding in half on both axes is easier and makes it more accurate. The marking is so you can see where to cut. The ruler is to cut against it and make an accurate cut. That's how I'd do it too. Measure a million times before cutting 😊
This is a very common process in quilting. It makes it more accurate. As seams are so small, you don't have to be far out to end up with an uneven block. Accuracy in cutting is essential to make it work. Measure twice or even three times before cutting. That's the rule. 😊
@@helenaMe325 As you prefer. I pressing anything but flat is unhelpful for me for accuracy. My blocks would be pressed, centered and squared before these cuts.
@@inezaultman1850 I don't quite get what you mean '..I pressing anything but flat is unhelpful for me'... Folding in both directions is very common when squaring up with larger pieces such as these multiple blocks or the whole quilt. It is just much easier to find the centre by folding both ways rather than measuring one way then the other then finding the centre and not marking it. I don't get what you mean. it doesn't make sense. I never 'just cut'.
Beautiful !
You. Are. Wonderful! Thank you!
Nice, thank you
Great tip!!👏👏👏
I think this makes a nice big block😊
Made a beautiful autumn quilt that way.

It won't matter if it shows they used it where they were cutting so the markings will be in the seam and unseen.
@@felicitymorgan2456True! Thx for this reminder ❤️
Wonderful
You have inspired my very first quilting project!! 🎉🎉Regards from México
That is SO exciting! We would love to see it if you'd like to join our FB community group (Sewing Parts Online - Sewing Community)!
It looks like it was a lot of work, but you make it look so easy!
This is so cool!
I love this! Thank you!
Love this so beautiful ❤❤❤
They're so fun to make!
These prints are lovely
I like this method!
Why press AND mark THEN use a ruler? Why not just use the ruler?

Because he is an idiot
This is so fun❤
So easy!!
Beautiful
Thank you!
Simple solution
I need to have 4 5 inch squares across for my placemats. What do you suggest? Nines doesn’t work for this obviously. Love the disappearing 9 though!
Be mindful of placement of the middle fabrics. Cutting through that beautiful elephant in the center hurt my soul. 😂
I realized what I did after my first two blocks and regret immediately sank in 😭
What’s the thing you’re ironing on??
Just cut. Ironing a crease and marking the cut are just redundant.

Gee… just use the ruler and cut in half both way after pressing !
He said he marked with the pen because with the busy pattern in the fabric it is easier to see. Sheesh!
Why even cut it in the first place?
Marking that was pointless
So was folding.
If you cant measure the middle of a 10 inch block you shouldnt be quilting...
It makes a pretty block, but the fabric choices should of had more differing values, too mediocre
