I intended to hand stitch all of the blocks, but the pieces are quite small and to move quicker, I changed to the sewing machine. Due to the small pieces ,I did a lot of chain stitching to help keep pieces from being pulled down into the machine. When I would start, I used a piece of fabric to start and sometimes gently pulled that piece of fabric. I just finished the 120 blocks and getting ready to add the sashing that goes between the 4 - 3 1'2" blocks to make a larger block. I didn't cut all the pieces and then start piecing. I would do about 10 -15 and sew those. I am going to call mine My Colors Sampler and will share on line.

And I try to choose a fabric I like...along with a block (with possibilities). This is a different block.

This was a quilt from the past. I love hand work and choosing fabrics to put together. I am amazed I did a quilt with so much background to stitch!

There is nothing like a project that lets you be creative. I loved the info about the material for britches; the material the butterflies were on was really strong!

She is great. She has been organizing her quilt to give to family members; she has really listened through time to which quilt seemed to hit a chord with each member.

You’re welcome 😊

Yes, but I also added a few light patches to have enough.

The plan was from Love of Quilting Sept/Oct. 2022 p. 92. I think I will grab another jellyroll and do again. It was so nice having neat 2 1/2 widths. Watch for lights in the set. Have fun!

Lately I have done projects and had to add light fabrics. The last time I had a variety of cream fabric and not white. Enjoy!

Food for thought or research! Thanks for watching!

Right. This block is court house steps, not log cabin.

Me too!

Thank you! I really appreciate your feedback.

Thanks so much!

Thank you. Every time I see a log cabin pattern I think, "I have done the log cabin before." The next thing I know I do it again!.

Great idea!! I love making tote bags with small squares.

Thank you!

I hope you have found something you like to do!

Yesf.

Yes.

If the material is still in sewable shape, just take new thread to join the yo-yos. If any yo-yos are falling apart, you could find material that looks very similar and add a new yo-yo. That is so nice that you have a family quilt. Good luck.

I went back to the video to make sure I went the right direction. My template was probably cut by drawing around a kitchens bowl or saucer; I ended up with a circle diameter (going across the shape) of 4 1/2". Then I made a sample yo-yo by turning in about 1/4" on the edge. When I got done making the yo-yo I measured across and found that the yo-yo was between a little over 2". I liked that size. If you consistently turn in the same amount of the edge, pretty soon the yo-yos are more and more consistent. 1. One way to speed up cutting all the circles (using the 4 1/2" size) is to cut a 5" strip of fabric the width of the fabric. Lay a few strips on top of each other (they can be a variety of patterns) cut the layer strip into 5" squares. Then cut out your circles. 2. Or, if you buy/have 5" square pre-cuts, stack some, trace circle, cut. I hope I was close to what you need. Please, let me know if I didn't! S

Thank you for watching.

4 pieces of paper later, I think I have an idea. Going for 100x100" q.- Using the original pattern, leaving the center square the same, add 2-4 1/2" squares to both ends of each row. (That should be a 4-square & a solid) added at both ends. Later, two 'mini' rows will need to be added to the top left corner & to the bottom right corner. The final border was 4" (4.5" cut before adding)/can be adjusted to get closer to 100 x 100"; measure each side for border length. I really liked doing this pattern, and this might be a way to do it again! (Gave it my best...no guarantee.) Enjoy!

@@StephanieKitchens4340 awesome!! Thanks so much!!

Wonderful!

That was one of about 5 quilts that I kept up with hours.

Thank you for watching!

You're so welcome!

Glad you like it! I just tried 4 1/2 inch square and that was fun...only 4 corners and edges will all be straight. Kid /toddler blanket is my goal. Have fun!

I am thinking about a gift also...my next experiment will be with squares (5") or 4" so they are easy to work with. Then, there won't be any issue about the sides. But, I am really liking the uneven edge of the big hexagon flowers. Thank you for watching.

And they really feel soft and fluffy.

Great quilt story! Thank you for sharing.

You are so welcome!

It is fun and turns out so attractively. Thanks!

Wow hand stitched. Lovely

Thank you!

Oh thank you!

Thank you! You too!

Thank you!

I looked on the internet and there were a lot of materials. Enjoy!

It really is!

Thank you for watching!

Thanks for watching!

It is really solid and portable. I like the way the quilt stays as taunt as I like. Thanks for watching!!

It has been worth the money and more stable than the embroidery rack I used for years and years. Thanks for watching!

Thank you. I made a playlist "Making a Special Colorful Quilt with120-4 Patch... There are 3 videos leading up to 216; they are 208, 208b, 208 C

It takes a while to make the 4 patch squares; but, can be fun when matching the patches to the person receiving the quilt. Thank you for watching!

Thank you!

Oh my I love all 3of them wow where can I get the patterns for them my sister and I were wondering about green quilts last month wow green is very pretty in a quilt really would love to make her a green one like your first quilt but need pattern name or where I can get pattern thank you

3 ways: 1. My video 208 etc is a tutorial for this. 2. Quiltmaker, March/April 2023 p. 24 3. Back issues Quiltingdaily.com/go:quiltmaker-issues

I set a playlist with all 4 videos for that quilt pattern Making a Special Colorful Quilt with 120-4 patch blocks...

I have found a lot of books, etc. on-line for Chicken Scratch.

I usually get something round from the kitchen (cut, glass, bowl) that is the size I think I want to use. Then make a cardboard pattern and trace that on fabric. I hope that helps.

Thank you so much!

I make a lot of quilts from fat quarters. I am not sure about this set, which I used as a base and then added more colors I liked. 120 stars of 2 or more colors takes a lot of looking at colors. I usually order fat quarter sets on-line from Connecting Threads and the Fat Quarter Shop . Reminder: if quilt is too narrow, add another column or 2.

Thanks for watching! I love this quilt and can't decide to hand stitch it or machine stitch (there are so many lovely open hexagons. The two ends just needed to have the overhanging diamonds trimmed. For the long sides, I made muslin diamonds (using the pattern already used) and sewed on e between the legs of the stars to fill the space; then the sides will be straight and I will bind the edges when done. It would be so easy to add another column or two if a wider quilt was desired. I won't add a border.
