Stay strong Canada!!! Many Americans appreciate that you are wonderful country and people.

Making me feel so brave to try this!

Love scrap quilts!

I think the more "balanced" blocks are needed to help the more extreme blocks pop. If they were all the same either extreme or balanced would be boring to the eye. Thanks for the tutorial and the lessons learned along the journey.

You don’t have to take the first block all apart, just half apart and cut down the white strip! Just sew you know, 🤣🤣 I would have made the same mistake as you did.

Great quilt Michelle. You've done a terrific job and thanks for all the hints. I love how you're not afraid to show us your mistakes so we can learn.

God bless you, dear, for being so thoughtfully thorough. With the help of your amazing instructions, I feel confident that I can now attempt to make Misty's quilt pattern. Yours turned out beautifully.❤

This is an amazingly clever design. I love the flexibility. Thanks for sharing all your tips (including that efficient fat quarter cutting).

Thanks for your video of experiences and learnings with this type of quilt pattern, Michelle. I really enjoy your videos. You're obviously quite experienced and whip smart (i. e. the Mathemagical quilt). As others have mentioned Donna Jordan has two similar videos, 'Layer Chop' and 'Mosaic', where she uses 1" strips which keep the block dimensions 10". She also marks the fabric before adding the strips so the blocks stay aligned and at a 10" square. I plan to give the Mosaic pattern a try, but add sashing between the blocks like you did, to make it look more like a stained glass window.

Fantastic job! I’m going to have to try this out.

Hi Michelle! As another commenter said, Donna Jordan also has a similar free pattern called Layer Chops. She uses 1" strips with a layer cake. I made it, and I was having trouble getting my pieces to line up, so I eventually cut all the blocks to 9-1/4", as Donna suggested, and it worked out. I did find it a bit frustrating though. Your baby quilt turned out very cute.

Love your quilt. It looks a little like stained glass ❤

Thank you for sharing it with us. But , very big BUT , please shorter videos. Good luck from UK.

I love this quilt block. It’s been on my ‘to-do’ list for a while. I never think of baby quilts, but they are the perfect size to try ALL kinds of new patterns. I see a couple of comments here, about Donna Jordan’s tut on this block, hers is called “Layer Chops” and she does have a great way of making the ‘sticks’ line up too. As always, you do great videos, and you explain all the why’s of each process. Thanks!! xoxo e. N. B. 🇨🇦

I really enjoyed this tutorial. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who makes mistakes when trying to "Wing" it. The quilt turned out beautifully.

❤ it!

This is giving me some ideas. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing those treasured quilts.

volume is low

Great tips and Beautiful colors. Thanks for sharing!

Cute, thanks for sharing.

I watched the MSQ video before, and I like that you showed every thought process along the way. Additionally, I've seen Donna Jordan's similar pattern she called chop sticks. All 3 videos have me thinking I'll give it a go.❤🎉❤

Great job!

Enjoyed watching this process.

❤ this project! I enjoy the triple plays from MSQC…great idea for a baby quilt!

Thanks for doing the math and your tips. Love it!🥰🥰

Love hearing you talk through your ideas. That looks like a fun idea after I unstitch strips on 6 log cabin blocks. Took a break to talk to a grandson didn’t pay attention and sewed green strips where I needed yellow ones.

Love it!

🤪🤕👍🏻🙏

What a lovely quilt! Thank you for taking us on your journey and providing some inspiration!!

I’ve made a quilt like this & way harder than you think. Harder if you’re really trying not to lose any real-estate. In my humble opinion, true improv goes against the nature of those that want to use our fabric to the utmost. One has to embrace improv for its creativity and not try to fit it into the frugal box. Take one project & let yourself go with the flow & see if you like it. You always encourage us to try techniques outside our comfort zone & help us discover new quilting passions. Thanks for sharing 🙋‍♀️🇨🇦

Cute idea. Thanks for sharing

This turned out great

I love all your videos. I love that you show all the challenges. You and I sew the same. The first blocks, we sew a seam, unsew a seam. Lol. ❤

I like this pattern and your quilt turned out cute. Very good idea for a baby quilt Michelle. This is sort of like the Layer Chops pattern from Jordan Fabrics. I made the Layer Chops quilt in 2023 and it is on my channel if anyone wants to come compare.

Hi Michelle, great outcome. The beginning of your adventure reminded me of learning to drive, when a three point turn usually morphed into a six point turn! Nevertheless, you were able to deliver😃

Really like how that turned out! Thanks for all the great tips. Love 💕 watching your video tutorials. Thanks, Patrice

Test blocks have been a great blessing to me. I love the wonky stars Jenny made in the video. I have attempted and failed several times now. I ended up making “pixie stick” blocks from the failed star pieces. I’m happy with the way they turned out. I love hearing you reasoning things out. It makes me wonder things of my own and that’s fun. The quilt is fabulous.

That's beautiful!

Thank you so much for this idea. I seem to have such a lot of colourful fabric and not much low volume, so this is a perfect stash-buster for me. The cutting tutorial was really clear and helpful too!

I tried this pattern, after I read the directions carefully a second time, and shortened it. It made a nice baby size quilt. I removed Section 3. I always like a challenge of a new thing during the winter and this was my challenge for this year. I did my quilt in greens; lime green was the sashing pieces and used scraps I had. I do want to say “read the directions carefully, then read them again.” I had to contact Michele because I thought the pattern was off; but it was me who was “off”. Her response was very kind and I really enjoyed making the quilt.

Good one Michelle. Nice clear easy instructions (as usual) and tips. Makes me want to drop all my ongoing projects and make one! But for now I’m resisting. Happy to come back to it at a later date though. Thanks for sharing.

Great way to save the day. I might have ripped them apart. Sure will try to remember this.

❤

Your quilt top is beautiful. This is a wonderful way of using up a lot of scraps. Thank you.

My friends always hear me say "the baby won't care", they'll do biological functions on my imperfect quilt as well as on someone else's perfect one and be just as comforted.

Needed a last minute baby quilt and this pattern was perfect. I used 4 fat quarters and white yardage from my stash. I strip pieced the six inch background strips with strips from a (5th) solid fat quarter for the diamonds. The setting triangles are the perfect size. It was my first time making an on point quilt and I loved how it turned out. Thanks for a great pattern and super clear instructions.

Me encantó la explicación del enrejado,queda espectacular ❤muy buen tutorial gracias por compartir tus experiencias 😊🤗

Lots of beautiful creations! Thank you😊
