Add a border to it ! I'm sure he will appreciate it 😊
@@joannrogers-mp6gp it worked for me !
Thank you! Do you have a video with instructions for adding borders to it?
That crooked plaid was making me crazy!😂
It is tough to deal with. I agree! I was bumming when I had to use it, but it isn’t that noticeable with all the other fabrics. It will probably still bug me. 😂
Since it’s for your son I would add extra borders to make it bigger.
Good idea! Thanks for the suggestion!
I like the on point lay out a lot
It looks nice, doesn't it? ❤️
This is my favorite way to make 4 patches. I had a quilt kit with layer cakes. The directions said to cut about half of them into charms and then sew them into 4 patches. I side stepped that plan and did them this way. They come out so straight and even. I love this quilt both ways you had it laid out. I wouldn't trim the "on point" layout. I would add setting triangles. He'll love it either way. ❤
That was exacly my thought as well. You also can make it a little bigger with the set in triangles. But it looks nice and cozy in both directions.
Great idea! I also love this way of making four patches. I find it to be so effective and satisfying getting two blocks at a time. Thank you so much for watching and sharing your experience! ❤️
So true! It would work beautifully! ❤️
I want to tell you that you have become one of my favorite CZcamsrs ! I love your enthusiasm and your teaching style! In love the straight 4 patch myself because of the size but i on point is nice too!
Wow! THANK YOU so much! You are so sweet! ❤❤❤
I agree with you. I actually already sewed it together that way and love it. I am going on a retreat next week and hope to quilt it while I am there. Wish more luck!
Thanks again for your support and for your kind words. It means so much to me!
Love your dog. ❤
Thank you! She's a sweetie. Mostly. 😀
It looks great as it is!!!!
Thank you! 🥰
I like the squared layout better than the on point. Great guy quilt!
Thank you! Definitely great for a guy. ❤️
Yes, I would add some borders. Bigger to allow for growth of your son!! I always want mine a bit bigger!
True! Thanks for the tip! Although he is 31 years old, so I don’t think he will get much bigger. 🥰 Thank you so much for watching!
From Pennsylvania. LoVe your channel. You have a great attitude and you Make me feel that you want me to go and sew. Thanks for all of your tips.
OH wow! Thank you so much! Best compliment ever! I am in NEPA! PA is so beautiful. Love it here. ❤️
Ahh ... Daisy just wanted to help with the quilt! How sweet!
She is so helpful like that! 😂 Gotta love her! ❤️
Cute puppy 💕. I love the simple setting, but the on-point setting really takes it up town !
Thank you!! 😊 I totally agree! It comes to life on point.
On point with extra fabric😊 nice
Thank you! 😊 I need to do that!
I love the on point design with a narrow inner border and a wider outer border!
Ohhhh! That could be beautiful! Thank you for the suggestion! ❤️
High quality flannel, more stable and less stretchy!
Just learning this! It was nice to work with, for sure!
Oh no! Puppies can be a handful. Great colors.
So true! Love the colors, too! Thanks for watching! ❤️
Your quilt will look great either straight or on point. I vote for on point.
Thank you! I like it on point, too! ❤️
I loved the way you have it. Save some money. He will live it the way it is it's beautiful ❤️
Thank you so much! ❤️ Good idea!
Leave as it is… love it!!
Thank you! ❤️
Love the quilt both ways, my favourite is on point although I would purchase additional fabric for the corner stones.
That’s a great idea! Thank you!
For your son I’d make it bigger with boarders. It will be cozier and fit him better as he grows. I love the quilt, very nice. ❤😊
Such a great point! Thank you for this! I think I might. ❤️
Thank you for this pattern! I will definitely use this !
Yay! Happy to hear! You are so welcome! ❤️
As much as I love this quilt pattern, my eye is always drawn to plaids that are cut crooked. When sizing and cutting prior to sewing the quilt, be mindful of any fabric that has a distinguished pattern like the checkerboards in the flannel pack. Thank you for offering opportunities to experiment with many patterns💖🪡🧵
My pleasure! Thank you for watching and sharing! ❤️
Agreed.
My vote is on point with extra fabric. Cute Quilt!
Thank you! 🥰
❤ Love your enthusiasm. Thank you for sharing your talent.
You are so welcome! Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
Best in my opinion, is your original. 🎶💖‼️
Thank you! I agree. ❤️
Go the extra mile and get a bit more fabric to make it larger for your son. Arrange it on point. This is a great quilt! Thanks for the tutorial 🎉
My pleasure! Thank you so much much! Love this idea. ❤️
And yes, I have a gazillion layer cakes I’ve bought from Sew Yeah! Thanks for giving me a fun idea to sew up some as 4 patches!!❤
You are so welcome! These are easy and fun! Thank you for watching. So happy this is helpful! ❤️
Yes sew yeah is wonderful.
Another great video, jeez I like this quilt as well. I've got to pick one and make it. Lol..Thanks again for sharing. Be well..
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much! Glad you love this one!
I’m going to make one for my son-in-law - I’ll add extra borders since he is so tall. I love it! 😊
Yay! I love that you are making it and that you love it! Thank you so much for watching! ❤️❤️❤️
I love the layout you had on your design wall.
Thank you! Glad you like it! That's the one I am going with, but I may make another for my other son. We will see! Thank you for watching and sharing! ❤️
Tip from an old sewist: place your pins perpendicular to your sewing path with the heads of the pins extending out past your patches. Your pins will distort your work less, and it’s easy to pull out your pins as you stitch.
Thanks so much for the tip! I have tried it this way and don’t like it as much. I’ve been sewing a long time, too (nearly 30 years now), and this way works much better for me. But that’s what’s so wonderful! We can all be successful with many different techniques. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️ I appreciate your suggestion!
It is beautiful! just bought the same layer cake. Thank you for the idea.
You are so welcome! ❤️
Love my yorkie. He got a jelly roll tore the plastic and shredded the side. He better be glad I love him to pieces.
Ohhhh noooo! Wow, that's terrible! I get it. I feel the same about Daisy! 😂
I like big quilts (and I cannot lie), and I love the on point setting. My suggestion is a light sand for setting and corner triangles and a navy outer border. Naughty puppy 🐶
😂 Big quilts are the best! ❤️
Oh, I LOVE this idea! YES! That would keep the soft look of it while still allowing for the blues to be the stars. Thank you for this idea!
Daisy is something! Be love her, but she's a handful! 🥰
I know it's more work but I LOVE it on-point with another fabric cut as the outer fill-in corners.
That's true! Thank you! ❤️
I love this just like it is,a great quilt, thank you
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching! ❤️
love 😃the layout and the colors
Yay! Thank you so much for watching! Happy you love this! ❤️
love this easy quilt. I have some layer cakes I want to use and will definitely use this pattern!
Yay! So happy you love it! It is a fun and easy quilt to make. Glad you are going to make it! ❤️
I bought a layer cake with yellow prints, thinking it would look good in the house of my stepmother and father. Then they passed before I even asked if they would like a quilt. You have inspired me to ask my baby sister if she would like one with the yellows. And then I will get my quilting mojo back!
Oh no! I am so very sorry for your loss! ❤️
I am happy you are getting your quilting mojo back. Let me know if you have any questions about this one. Happy to help! ❤️
Great video for a quilt working with flannels - thanks! I like the larger quilt; generous size for a throw. ❤
You are so welcome! Great point! I do need to make it bigger. It will be used more that way, I think. Thank you for the suggestion! ❤️
Both will be nice but on the point would be wonderful. Love your videos❤
Thank you so much! It is pretty on point. I agree! ❤️
I’d put it on point and buy more fabric. Thanks for the fantastic video
My pleasure!
Thank you for sharing your ideas! Love it!
LOL, my dogs do the same. Puppy tried to take a newly finished baby blanket. He has since been grounded from the sewing room:)
I vote for the en point layout with the extra fabric. It really shows the pattern and fabric off, especially the light to dark effect you were going for, IMO. Thanks for the great video.
My pleasure!
Awww, puppies! What are we going to do with them? I keep thinking she is finally old enough to be in there with me, but she continual proves me wrong. Hopefully someday! She's nearly 3 years old. We will see!
Thank you for your vote! I did already sew it together straight, but I am considering getting some yardage and making another. I just love this one! 🥰
@@SewtheDistance I have this fabric as well and it is really nice. I have not yet decided what pattern to use though:)
I think the on point setting really looks good. I would get some navy or dark taupe for setting triangles. But your choice of course. Ask the recipient which he would prefer. Making four patches that way is the best!
Great idea! I really do need to just ask him. Love the idea of a dark color for the corner stones. Thank you! ❤️
I love the on point design. I'd add corner stones.
Love this layout.
Thank you! Glad you love it! 🥰
Such a great idea! Thank you
My pleasure! So glad you like it! Thank you for watching! ❤️
I like the straight set.
Thank you! ❤️
I would purchase the extra material and make it bigger. Love it ❤
Great idea! Thank you! I love it, too. It is so soft and cozy. ❤️
Hello from Qaqortoq Greenland. I enjoyed the video and I like four patch blocks too. :) :) :)
Hello there! Wow! All the way from Greenland! That is so cool! Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
I would put it on point and add corner and edge pieces. Really beautiful!!!
Thanks so much! 😊 Great idea!
Love this!! 💙💙
Thank you!
Love it just as is!
Thank you so much! ❤️
Beautiful fabric, I agree with the comment since it is for your son, I would make it bigger. If you can just get yardage I would add the setting triangle in one of the colours and put them on point. Beautiful.
Thank you! I am going to have to do that. I think it will be wonderful bigger, too. Thank you for watching and sharing! Love this idea! ❤️
I really liked the look of it on point, so I would buy more fabric😊
Thank you! It really does make it look a bit more interesting on point. 🥰 Thank you for watching!
I love the fabric
Isn't it just gorgeous? I love it, too!
We had a golden named Daisy, too. She had a penchant for stealing shoes though. Luckily, we knew her hiding spot and were able to retrieve the missing footwear. Lol
Awww! I love this! They are so sweet that it is hard to be mad at them for too long. Daisy only steals my shoes. I think it means she loves me best (just kidding!). 😂
I have one of those puppies!!! It’s a good thing he’s pretty!!! 😂. I love your channel!!! I have a layer cake named Frankie that I didn’t know what to do with (I had to buy it since that’s my daughter’s name). I’m going to make 10” squares from a contrasting fabric and use your technique for a four patch quilt. You’re a genius!!! Why didn’t I think of that!!! Thank you for your wonderful tutorials!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are so welcome! 😃 Thank you so much for the love!
Just googled the Frankie layer cake! LOVE it! That will be amazing!
A boarder would be nice. It's very cute
Thank you! Love this idea!
Thanks so much for the pattern! I will definitely use up a layer cake and try it!! Yours is a beauty!
You are so welcome! So happy you like this!
Thank you so much! ❤️
It’s beautiful, Kris!!! I love the peaceful colors, so pretty. And if it were me, I would buy the extra fabric and put it on point. I think with the plaids, it would look like argyle, kind of a wintery feel! But it’s going to be great no matter what you decide. Thanks for the fun tutorial, and for the pattern as well!💙
You are so welcome! So happy you love this.
OHHH! Yes! It would look like argyle! Love that! I actually ended up sewing it together straight, but I am thinking about making another because I love both layouts so much. Maybe one for each of my boys. ❤️ Thank you for watching and sharing!
I love this colorway, dusty blue with cream. I would opt for the on-point layout, just because I hardly ever do that and I don't know why - I really do like it, and I would also opt for buying a little extra for the setting triangles; that way you don't have to cut anything off. I usually avoid plaids, and they seem to be very popular now, but the fact that they're almost always crooked bugs me! But it seems that once your blocks were sewn up, the crookedness isn't so obvious.
I already put this together straight, but I am thinking of making another and putting on point. Love the idea of making it with setting triangles. It would add a finished look, I think. The crooked lines are much more noticeable in the quilt, but they tend to bug me, too. I understand completely! Thank you for watching and sharing! ❤️❤️❤️
Kris, thanks for sharing ! In my opinion, make on point and use extra fabric.
You are so welcome! Love this idea! I actually already sewed it together with the orignial layout, but I am thinking about making another on point. Love both looks! ❤️
Fabrics that have been cut badly really upset me when I put them in my quilt 😳 And it would bother me forever 😳😳 I think that’s why I don’t buy pre-cuts - if anyone from those firms are reading this. Love your quilt 🥰 It’s going to be so snuggly 🤩 Thanks so much for sharing 👏👏🇬🇧
My pleasure! So true! i am not a huge fan of precuts either for that very reason, but they are super convenient, so that is nice. I completely understand what you are saying, however. It can be so frustrating.
My dog is known as Crazy Maisie too!
😂😂😂 We almost named her Maisie! Love it!
I usually like the on point blocks, but I think I like the dark and light rows better in this quilt. Thanks for a neat idea for some odds and ends of flannel I’ve been trying to decide how to use.❤️❤️❤️
You are so welcome! So happy you love this! ❤️
Hi Kris, My favorite way to make 4 patches! Layout idea- set blocks on point. What if you cut only the side blocks in half then take those cut offs and use them as the setting triangles to fill in the top and bottom edges. Less waste and longer quilt (I like my feet covered). Based on your picture there would be vertical dark "stripes" and dark edges at the top & bottom.
I really like this idea!
Ohhhh! Great idea! Thank you! That would look amazing! ❤️
Wonderful tutorial! Such a great layer cake!
So nice of you to give the free pdf too!
Thanks so much, Fallon! 😊 These are so much fun to make! ❤️
Love this ❤
I like it the way you have it laid out.
Thank you! ❤️ I think that’s what I am going with.
I like the on point version better, so I would purchase white fabric to make the triangle points to finish it. That way, you don't need to cut off any of your blocks. Then I'd add a navy border to add to the size. Good luck. 😊
Great idea! Thank you! That would be perfect! 🥰
That fabric is gorgeous!!
I just love it, too!
Thanks❤
My pleasure!
It was great seeing a new (to me) method for making four-patches. I predict that I will be making blocks this way soon. I rarely buy plaids or other fabrics with obvious lines in the print because crooked lines drive me crazy. I prefer my four- and nine-patches placed as you have them and not on point.
Yay! This method is fun. I am happy you are going to try it! I completely understand what you mean. Thanks so much for watching and sharing! 🥰
I love it & want to make one!
Yay! So glad you love it! ❤️
My son loved the flannel quilt I made him years ago and stilluses it!. But years later he gave me some advice. He said, "Mom, always make a quilt long enough to cover a guy's feet. It needs to go from the neck and down over the feet! I loved that advice - and use it for ALL quilts i make! I've used it ever since. My throw quilts are now always 48 to 60 inches wide and 70 to 80 inches long.
(I love your on-point version! - cutting the points from the sides only, and using them as setting triangles as someone suggested above. And then maybe purchasing fabric for borders.
Fun tutorial! Thank you
You're so welcome! My pleasure. ❤️
Thank you for this. It is so right! I do need to make it bigger. ❤️❤️❤️
Add a nice boarder, one small and one larger to frame it out. So cute!!
Ohhh! Great idea! Thank you! ❤️
Hi Kris, another bountiful beautiful idea from you, demonstrated with your usual fervour and excitement! Love this. 🇦🇺❤️
Thanks so much! 😊 So happy you love this! ❤️
Love the colours😊
Aren't they great? Love them too. ❤️
I recently made a quilt using Primitive Gatherings flannel. It was fabulous to work with (fat eighths). Used 1/4" seam with no problems. Your quilt will be great. Thanks for the video 😊
CORRECTION: Quilt washed in cold/dried on low. Had multiple seams that frayed open 😢. I would definitely use a bigger seam allowance (>1/4") in the future even with this high quality flannel. Good thing I'm keeping this quilt.....my repairs leave a lot to be desired. I still love the quilt 😊
My pleasure! That is so good to know! I was nervous about it because of other experiences I have had with flannel. It did seem pretty stable, however. Thank you for watching and for letting me know. I am sure this will help others interested in using this pattern. ❤️
Enjoyed your video, you explained everything so clearly. I'm really glad you pulled that blue plaid one out... I cringed at the wonkiness of that plaid when you first held up the layer cake.
Thank you so much! 🥰
So glad it is helpful! I did end up using that piece and show it at the end. My dog took one of the blocks, and I had to use that one wonky piece. 😂 Oh well! It isn't that noticeable. Glad I had it! ❤️
@@SewtheDistance, yes, I had not watched all the way to the end when I commented. :-) Good thing you had that extra piece!
That's okay! I do the same thing sometimes. I get excited to say something! 😂
Another great quilt. Thank you. Getting a puppy today so will keep her well away from my fabric!
My pleasure!
Thank you so much! Ohhhh, puppies and quilts! LOL! Have fun! They grow so fast. ❤️
Either layout is fine. Go bigger. If you decide to do on point, use setting triangles instead of cutting off squares. If you go bigger with your current layout, more blocks instead of border would be amazing. It is lovely in its simplicity and the colors look good together.
Thanks so much! Wonderful ideas! ❤️
Love the way this turned out. So cute for a boy perfect colors whoo hoo!
Thanks so much! ❤️
I love this fast and easy quilt pattern can’t wait to make it
Yay! Thank you! ❤️
They look like fabulous fabrics 😍
My boys/husband are quite tall so my quilts for them are generally 74-78” long
Fantastic way to make a 4 patch, I gotta remember that trick 🙋♀️🇨🇦
Aren't they wonderful fabrics? I love them, too! This would be great bigger. I probably need to do that! ❤️
When I made my son's quilt I ran into the light and dark issue as well...I broke them into cools and warms instead and it worked out really well! 😊
Edit to add, I LOVE how excited you get as you put stuff together because I do the same thing 😂 especially as a new quilter, I get a little serotonin boost every time I open the block and they're lined up correctly lol
That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
I love quilting. You are right--that serotonin boost is amazing and still present after 25+ years of quilting. I hope it continues for you, too! 🥰
Love it!! (both ways) Flannel makes a great cozy quilt too. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure! So glad you liked this! I love flannel quilts, too. You just can't help by wrapping them around you. 🥰 Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Another amazing quilt! I love it! I wouldn’t put it on point. The fabric was to expensive to waste!
Great point! Pun intended! LOL! So true! Thank you so much for watching and sharing. ❤️
As is, 💕 love!
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Looks great, add boarder for your sons quilt for finished look, just an idea, love watching x and thanks for sharing xx
Thank you so much! Great idea! That would make a wonderful quilt for him. Thank you for watching and for sharing your idea! ❤
I love the layout on the design board - and why waste any when it is such a beautiful quilt. Nice job and thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome!
So true! I agree with you completely. ❤️
Loved both. But interested to learn about corner stones. New quilter here! Learning alot from your videos.
Thank you! I can do a video with cornerstones. They really make a quilt. In the meantime, I do use them in this tutorial, if you are interested: czcams.com/video/3mP_Ml6e3UU/video.htmlsi=BubsQAaGUc35389i
Hope this helps! ❤️
I really appreciate your hint about the b/w photo to check the values! Brilliant! I have a cute children’s layer cake and I can’t wait to try one of your patterns! ❤
You are welcome! So happy it is helpful! Oh, it would so cute in children's prints! Love it!
I like the on point,would do the triangles so you don’t lose any size.
Great idea! Setting triangles out be great. ❤️
Leave it - looks beautiful!!!!
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
I love your quilt and I actually have that layer cake. I'm going to make this; however, I'm going to match 2 different halves together after the first cut / before the 2nd, so that each block has 4 *different fabrics (not 2 of the same 2). It will look more scrappy (which I really like :) because none of the same fabrics will touch.
Love this idea! Thank you for sharing! It will be great, I am sure! 🥰
Twinning!
❤️
Love it.
Thank you! ❤️
