This is my favorite "how to" video. I can avoid my fear of diagonals by using this method. I can't wait to try it.
I noticed that some were thinking that this was a lot of wasted fabric, and it is if you look at it that way.. But, I am a beginner quilt, and this method is the FIRST method I tried as a BEGINNER quilter.. I LOVED IT... It was sooooo easy.. I recommend this to ALL NEW BEGINNING QUILTERS..... so fast and so easy... I LOVED IT... Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us...God bless...
Hi Mary, I totally agree with you! I have lots of 'wasted' fabric in unfinished quilt tops that have became too daunting to finish due to their complicated cutting and piecing techniques. Better a finished quilt than a half-finished one that zaps your confidence. Great comment, thanks for your perspective, I'm definately trying this!
This is the BEST âhow toâ quilting video EVER! Thank you so much!
Wow! I love learning new tips and tricks. 40 plus years of sewing and I never would have thought of this.
Mercy, mercy this is the most quick and easy quilting technique ever...What I like is every seam meets no uneven seams at all. Love, love this technique and best of all NO CUTTING. Kudos to you Peg for a job well done...
Thank you so much for having this video up. I just had carpel tunnel surgery, and Iâm trying to find projects that donât have a lot of cutting. Thank you
You're so welcome! Please take good care.
Now that I have a lot more time thanks to the in-home quarantine, I think I'll use some of my late mother-in-law's quilting fabric & make some potholders for her granddaughters for Christmas. I have never quilted, but I have sewed for many, many years. This video is exactly what I was looking for, something easy & fast. Thanks!
Have fun!
What a lot of pre-work in order to show us all the different variations on what can be done! Outstanding!
Awesome. Funny, you don't look like the kind of lady who would be looking for fast, fun, and easy. I am most impressed. I'm getting too frail to maneuver whole bed quilt so I'm making pillows. I can't wait to make these all into pillows. I'm thinking coordinating outdoor fabric and throw pillows in all these different blocks all over the patio furniture. Thanks for sharing your ideas. I'm looking for more of your work.đ€
I love this. I am recovering from a stroke, April of this year. This week was my first session with my sewing machine and it was great. At first I was a bit clumsy but I can do everything required. You can imagine how good this is for me, Thankyou for sharing your very clever ideas. Today I made a very tasty corn chowder from a CZcams family, Stivers Homestead so this has been a nice, learning day for this ol gal. Thankyou and hello from Belast NI.
Thank you for this wonderful demonstration on making a quick quilt.
I have never seen anything so ingenious!!!! Can't wait to try it.
Can't believe anyone could be grumpy enough to thumbs down a fabulous video.
Thank you so much for sharing this technique.
I love your creativity .... I havent dont triangles as I am self taught and I stick to squares and rectangles.... Thank you I am going to give this a go...
Wow, I feel sorry for quilters who have not stumbled on this video. Absolutely marvelous! Thank you for sharing your creativity and skills. Can't wait to try this.
finally some common sense! thank you I have health and vision problems and this is just perfect thank you
Wow!!! I'm so geeked about this simple to do technique!! I might actually finish a quilt now! You are BRILLIANT!! Thank you, Miss Peg!
How SMART and CREATIVE is this guest. I would have never thought of any of these ingenious yet simple ideas. I especially loved the last block that made the pinwheel.
No cutting !! Iâm in heaven â€ïžâ€ïž

Thank you Peg for these amazingly quick ideas. So simple I have to wonder that no-one has thought of them before, it's certainly new to me.
I'm js in aww with all the design pattern she came up with..with just 2 sizes without cutting. â€
VERY clever!! I would think a person would need to be extremely careful when quilting the finished top ... but what fun this could be with a layer cake and a charm pack and just let the creativity happen!
I think this is exactly what I was looking for. I have a few 5" charm packs of Liberty of London and didn't want to waste any of it.
This is a NO FAIL technique ! Arenât you smart ! Thank you for sharing !
So appreciate this. It will help me so much. This is much better than the older way of quilting. I will finally be able to finish a quilt.
Great idea for beginners as well! Thank you!
Absolutely love this technique! I've been wanting to quilt for decades but have been intimidated by all the measuring, piecing and cutting. Now I will attempt to quilt. Thank youđ
Wow! Out standing, I can't wait to try this method. I have been sewing since I was a child and this has brought new life into quilting. Great Job and Thank you!
Okay, you are a genius! Wow, I am going to use the first technique and lightly stuff the smaller block before I sew the top and bottom. Thank you!
I've wanted to make a picnic tablecloth forever, but didn't want to add a back. This method is perfect for my tablecloth. It's a great idea. Thank you!
Love this ideaâŠ.great teacher tooâŠ..not too much chatting.
I'm legally blind in one eye with off and on double vision in the other. Thank You So Much for this technique.
Excellent ideas, I love them all, I just spent the holidays teaching my granddaughter how to quilt....she's going to love this
Gosh, I am so pleased this video still running. Brilliant tutorial ...thanks so much.
I enjoyed this easy way of making different types of blocks. For a beginner I think this is an easy way for us to learn and move forward.
Today my life changed thank you.
I loved your techniques, wish you had this written down so we could download how to do it and save it. I hope I will not lose this video as I would like to try it. Thank you.
Thank you so much, I really e joy finding a shorter way to do anything, sewing, quilting, gardening etc. I love the fabric that you used
Absolutely brilliant. I see things like this and wonder "Now why couldn't I think of that"? LOL Most excellent! Thank you for sharing this!!
I am new to this I just started watching you all and I love all of it and u explain it really well...thanks from a newcomer DonnaLee
I just finished my second fold and sew quilt top! I absolutely love this technique and all the options for designs you have shown!
Thank you Peg for showing us this easy, time-saving method. Less cutting, which is always nice. I don't really cutting. :)
Iâve wanted to quilt but havenât taken the first step. This tutorial is a great way to begin I think. Thank you so much!
Same here. I got all the materials and tools all ready but haven't have the courage to take the first step.
Same here as well,not sure where to start.
This was the easiest method of quilting i have ever seen
Great idea and well explained! Love the unintentional clean finishing on the back. No fraying thread, my pet peeve. Thank you.
After four years I am so glad I found this! A great way to make a fast quilt. As far as the doubled areas of fabric, I'm thinking of a flannel lap quilt...the extra fabric would be great for warmth.
You are a genius! I can hardly wait to try your methods. I also appreciate how well done this video is. Thank you very much.
Fantastic! Who would have thought you could make so many blocks from 10" and 5" squares!
I did this last week and had sew much fun Sewing them good way to use Charm Packs
You just made my sewing alot easier. GREAT IDEAS!!
Thumbs up. Always worthwhile to watch National Quilters Circle videos. Thanks for all the ideas.
I think this is a really GREAT idea, I'd have never have thought of it, and it's so effective, and there's no worry about those raw edges!!!!!!! Thank you so much for a great tutorial
Thank you Peg,,,,,this is a unique way of doing something different.....
well I LOVE ALL the techniques you show in this video. I am just now trying to learn how to make quilts and I have watched LOTS of youtube video tutorials on the subject and I must say, yours Is ONE OF THE BEST.. Thanks so much for all the cool and interesting ideals on how to use quilting squares.. God Bless...
V8 no big i
Woman. You're a genius.
light came on. I watched this a number of times,great idea. I can combine some of thinner fabrics with heavier fabrics in my scrape pile.
She takes time to explain every detail so newbies like me can understand every bit of it. Thank you for sharing and giving such a variety not just one thing.
As a beginner, I am so excited to try this simple proceedure for making quilts fast and fun. Thank you for sharing.
,đđ
As an experienced sewer, I am also super excited to try this!
Every time I look at quilting, I see more and more great videos. This was yet another one to add to my collection. I can see I am going to have quite a bit of fun doing this quilt with these ideas. Thank You for sharing this.
This is a great method to use up scraps that have been organized into pre-cuts.
+National Quilters Circle I LOVE your video! Tg is is a major tip in quilting for me. I have issues with weakness in my hands and cutting fabric by myself is next to impossible so I always have to find someone to help. With your techniques I can do it all by myself! I am so excited to try this. Thank you for sharing!
Peg, this is brilliant and not something I've seen or heard of in my NE Ohio area.
I will share this link with my guilds and, perhaps, show a few of your examples.
Like you said, this is a great technique teach kids how to piece a quilt. I have 2 tween girls who want to learn and I've been a bit hesitant about them using a rotary cutter. Thank you for doing this video.
I am envisioning a little embroidered design in the middle of the small square. What great techniques!!
This is so awesome, cuts a lot of cutting out of the process, like the idea of teaching kids how to sew, Thanks
Your methods of folding the square boxes for a quill is so amazing and wonderful. You makes it is so interesting , easier and faster to make quill. Thank you for sharing. đđđ
Thank you so much!
This is absolutely great. All that cutting and measuring was driving me crazy!
OMG....that is so simple and save a lot of cutting. Thank you.....
WOW you are amazing and you sure used those brain cells on this fab idea. Who would have thought that this looks soo good. Easy, fun, and does not take so long! Thank you so much!
I love this! Cutting blocks is time consuming. Than you!
Loved this tutorial! Packed with information, looks so easy, and so much fun. Thank you.
Wow what a class. I've learned sooo much. Thank you. Gisele v
You're so welcome!
I love this tutorial! You have a wonderful imagination with super ideas! Thank you SO much for sharing these ideas with a beginner like me. What a blessing to have discovered this video! Thank you very much!
What an outstanding video! So simple, but room for much creativity. Thank you!
So clever! Brilliant for beginners, or for those who just don't want to spend ages cutting.
I may try this but definitely will harvest that 4.5â square from the 10â block.
What a fantastic idea. I've got a big stash I wanted to use a lot of it for charity quilts. This will be a perfect for good intentions with more ideas than time. Thanks for sharing! Janice in Indiana
Being a âpointless personâ as Kaye Woods would say. I love this technique because my points are always off. Itâs not a waste of fabric because I waste a lot of fabric/money redoing traditional triangles.
Loved the demonstration. Will surely attempt it. Thank you.
This technique is intriguing. Has anyone out there ever done a quilting project using this method, and if so, did you have any issues piecing the blocks and quilting? I seems like there would be some bulk in the seams. But I'm all for less cutting, that is for sure.
Excellent ideas! I especially like the âsamplerâ quilt. Thanks for sharing these, I canât quilt as much as I used to and am ready to make some easy quilts!
Im a newbie ar quilting.. starting with hand quilting.. Im likeing it.... and I sure like this idea!! Thank you.
So clever. Challenges the way to think.
Being new to quilting (but not to sewing), I so enjoyed seeing this application for adding squares or triangles to a quilt block. Very creative and as you mentioned, less tiring to calculate and sew together. Thank you
What a great idea! Also means the back of the quilt would be nice and neat with no hanging threads!
You just blew my mind. Can't wait to try Fold and Sew. Thanks!
This method is brilliant. Thank you so much.
THANK you very much for sharing ann
Although I am aware of the "fusible grid interfacing" used in watercolor quilts, I never put the idea together that I could do a similar concept without the fusible. In fact, I never did this method because I didn't want the fusible in my bed quilts, although I would be fine with it on a wall quilt. You have really opened my eyes to so many possibilities using other geometric shapes as well; bricks, strips, even other triangles. It would be so quick to add a jelly roll on a diagonal, and fold and sew both ways for a big X block, etc. Your method is perfect for a beginner, or just anyone who needs to finish a quilt fast. I've never seen this before. I love it. Thank you so much for sharing!

Oh my goodness! You are so smart! What wonderful ideas you have. I love all of them. I can't wait to get started. I would love to give you credit for my quilt when it is finished on the label, may I have your name please? The one you used with praire points I used between a black inner and outer border all around a wall hanging for a dramatic effect.
Great video!! I love this technique and canât wait to try it. The pinwheels would be so pretty on colored squares. Thank you for sharing!!
goodness me...so simple n yet so mannnnny different looks. thankq for sharing!!!
This is really neat, I just hate wasting the fabric underneath it and more bulk. I have got to try this thro.
Interesting ideas and so easy!! Thank you for the video đđđ
fabulous idea; no raw edges ....love this quick quilting idea. thank you
The squares folded in is a genius idea... but the triangle corners is more work than just ironing a line, putting the small square right-sides together on the corner of the large square, sewing along that line, sewing ANOTHER line of stitching 1/2" away from the centre, and cutting between the two lines of stitching, pressing back the corner triangle. This way, you get a "bonus triangle" (a la Bonnie Hunter from Quiltville). No more work than her technique, but just "smarter" sewing!
What a brilliant idea. Thinking outside of the square as they say. Thank you for sharing this idea.
These are fantastic ideas! And easy! Thank you for sharing. It is funny how you can get a fabulous design with just some simple piecing.
I love this and I have been looking for you for days! This way of quilting is wonderful, thank you
Very quick and easy! Great technic! Going to try this! Thank you for sharing!
I love this, but I am a tight wade, a lot of fabric waste, the fabric under the squares can be used elsewhere. But I love this idea.
Joyce Weaver before weighted quilts became popular, I would have said that, too ~ but now I see quick pockets.
I thought the same thing. I hate to know that the is so much fabric that can be used on other projects! Though, this is so fast and brilliant; that I may go ahead and make a quilt like this. I am as cheap as anything, but I think Iâm a little lazier than I am cheap. Haha!
Joyce Weaver I thought too about the waste of fabric
I love it and I to am lazy,
its such an easy Cathedral though!!! No more of a waste and much easier if your wanting to make a cathedral since that block already has you folding squares to triangles to prevent raw edges.
Ohhhh my goodness! This fabulous!
I love thisâŒïžâŒïž I am a beginner with sewing even tho Iâm in my 50s. This is so wonderful! Thank you for sharingâ€ïž
