  • This video shows how to use up some leftover fabrics, 2 1/2" and 5" squares, to make a Floating 4-patch block that measures 7" and finishes at 6 1/2" square. This makes a delicious scrappy quilt!

    This patch work is perfect for areas of the world that only have access to small pieces of fabric...some times they buy them in bulk from dress makers, and buy them cheaper than per the yard. I come from Central America, where fabric is very expensive, if purchased by the yard.
    Thank you for all your work, I think I am going to make a purse, 2 patches, one for the front and another for the back, because I am not a quilter, only a "sampler sewer" I just love this 4 patch block.

I have been making four patches as my leader and ender project for the past couple of years, just using leftover 2.5 inch squares and strips, so I have a container of them ready to go! Now to decide on the 5 inch squares from my stash. Thank you so much for your tutorials!

    Thank you! I'm inspired to go through my stash and cut leftovers into manageable pieces. Going to work on 2/12" and 5" squares to build up enough for a quilt like this. Amazing how much stash leftovers get to be overwhelming if you don't control them! Love your easy to follow tutorials!

  • @KonjikiKonjiki
    @KonjikiKonjiki Před rokem

    Hi, I really appreciate the demonstration for cutting down the quilt blocks using the quilting ruler. I am visually impaired now and was worried about these kinds of details but seems like I will be able to figure this out. :). You make it look so fun and fulfilling, I wish I had a family member to watch doing this growing up. :)

    Thank you for showing a scrap buster of 2 1/2 " and 5" squares. I love the border your friend, Jsnet used with 2 1/2 "squares to use up some more scraps. It really framed the quilt nicely. Enjoy your videos very much and your detail of teaching.

  • @barbarabender2499
    @barbarabender2499 Před 3 lety

    I love watching your tutorials. You are probably the best quilting instructor I've come upon. Everything is taught in such a relaxed fashion. I actually stumbled upon your tutorials here on youtube and was previously focused on a few US venues that seem to be more focused on selling something extra rather than teaching. I like when you're instructing that you will use a tool, but offer advice if the person doesn't have that particular tool.

    I always seem to have more scraps than I know what to do with and I do love working with scraps. I am always a little intimidated by putting blocks on point, but I think this is an excellent way for me to get over my fear. Also I have watched your tutorials for probably a year or two and I have seen your little pattern books at my favorite quilt shop near where I live. That is if 25 miles is near. For Texas that is pretty close. LOL
