I love your program!! Do not change a thing! Your voice is very calming to me! I am starting several of your ideas! 😊
Thanks for that kind comment, Jane! I'm so glad you're finding some useful ideas to use. With me, it's WYSIWYG - (what you see is what you get!) - and there's no changing that! There are a few folks I've scared off but overall I couldn't ask for a better group of quilters to engage with. I sure appreciate you following along! Happy Quilting,

I keep missing the info when I replay the video ... What is the dimensions of the FQ that you trim your fabric to in order to get the markings to line up easily ... I realize these are 5 inch sections
15x20 (3 by 4 rows)
Good question, Anna! My fat quarters are cut to 15" x 20" which gives me 3 squares by 4 squares for a total of 12 squares measuring 5-inches each. After they are sewn and cut, each one is trimmed to 4.5-inches and they finish at 4-inches. It works great for making lots of HSTs at once! Thanks so much for watching! Have a great New Year and Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
My problem comes when trying to sew through all the material in the corners, even though I press my seams open.
It can definitely take some practice, Jan. There's a lot of fabric in the corners. Try pinning the seams in place so they stay where you want them. Use a new, sharp needle so it doesn't drag or have difficulty going through. You might even try the next size larger needle as it may go through a bit easier. Then sew slowly using your left hand to guide the fabric and keep it moving. I some times use the point of my seam ripper or a stiletto in my right hand to help move that side along as well. This should help at least a bit. I hope this helps. Have a great New Year and Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
Thank you!
Your quilt is gorgeous !! And all the little tips and reminders are much appreciated !!! 🤗
But maybe not, maybe 15x20
You got it! 😊 Have a great New Year and Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
I think 15x15
It's 4 5x5 blocks by 3 5x5 blocks. So 15x20. 4 blocks across, 3 blocks down.

Focus on the method not extra projects
Thanks for you input, Bonnie! Appreciate you watching. Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
I love your idea but your demonstration doesn’t look very accurate. So, you may want to stress accuracy. Thank you
Thanks for the observation! Have a great New Year and Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
You talk to .much about minutia. Too .much
Sorry, Richard! Fabrics and quilting makes me excited and I can't help but to talk about it! Thanks for watching. Have a great New Year and Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
Wow!
@@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouiseIt was just the right amount!
Don't watch then. Why negativity? What does that serve? Be nice. It is much easier to remember.😊
