    What a great tutorial, you explained it great, kept it moving keeping it interesting. I usually lose interest with videos that go on and on with added rehashing. You are a great teacher. If we don't understand something we can always rewatch. Again your teaching style is great.

      Thanks so much Joanne - very kind of you to say. I've only been at this for a short time, so I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching.

    Thanks for the tip on straight of grain and squaring up the FQ in the beginning! Beautiful quilts.

    I knew the disappearing block but you blew my mind w making the same block w bits and pieces… I give away my scraps after each project and now I can turn more of them into blocks….NICE!

    Whoa, 2 quilts from 20 fat quarters and really cool look.

    • @bitspiecesquilting
      @bitspiecesquilting  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks Jeanne! Once I realized how close I was to two quilts, it was determined to squeeze every last block out of the pack. It helps that I had the coordinating fabric for the centre squares and borders, but I was thrilled to get two complete quilts. Thanks for watching!

    @connieking9873 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    This is great. I have🎉 done the disappearing patch. There are so many different ways to do it. You can get some really awesome blocks. You can also use same material in same position in each block and makes another total different lay out. I did one that you start upper left block leave in place ,upper right block turn once, bottom right turn 2 times then bottom left turn 3 times. Really varies the layout.

    • @bitspiecesquilting
      @bitspiecesquilting  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Hi Connie - I love that there are so many ways to use the same simple design. It's really magical the difference some fabric placement and block twisting can make! Thanks for watching!

    Thank you for this tutorial. I really appreciate your explanation of how to square up your fabric. I could never figure out how to get some pieces to lay flat. Now I know. Thank you!

    • @bitspiecesquilting
      @bitspiecesquilting  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi Sue - getting the fabric on straight of grain, no matter how it is printed, helps with overall accuracy and sewing pieces together. Getting those pieces laid out as straight as possible is a good habit to get into. I hope these tips help. Thanks for watching.

    I’ve been watching TH-cam videos for 3 years teaching myself how to make quilts. I thought I’ve seen all the tips and tricks. I’ve learned so much watching your videos. Thank you for showing us how to square a fat quarter. What a great idea to make up bits and pieces to make up the last few blocks! Looking forward to learning more from you. Beautiful quilts!

    This is such a great video. So many TH-cam videos don’t bother with squaring fabric. It is hard to teach properly (I’ve tried). Your instructions are so clear! Well done! Loved that you were able to USE THE WHOLE bundle! Congrats on another fantastic video! Sorry I watched this late….not sure how I missed it! XO

    • @bitspiecesquilting

      Hi Anne - so glad you enjoyed it! I find if I don't try to get my fabric square, it starts to fray along the edges and that leads to other problems. Thanks so much for watching and best wishes for the holidays!

  • @laurelrauf2869
    @laurelrauf2869 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I found it very helpful to see the way you cut the fat quarters without losing the grain of the fabric. I always struggle with that.

    • @bitspiecesquilting
      @bitspiecesquilting  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks Laura. I get annoyed when fabric is t printed straight (especially “designer” fabric) Sometimes there are choices and compromise to be made, but straight of grain is always my preference. Thanks for watching.

  • @Tla81
    @Tla81 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    I like using the leftover scraps to make a tote big enough to carry the quilt. I use the tote/ blanket in my van for chilly days and for picnics.

    • @bitspiecesquilting
      @bitspiecesquilting  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      A storage or gift bag for the quilt is a great idea, but I would imagine that takes a lot of fabric. But a scrappy bag made with loads of pieces would be super cute! Thanks for watching.

    • @bitspiecesquilting
      @bitspiecesquilting  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Sharon! Check out my recent video on the quilt I use as my backdrop and you can see where else I've used pieces that are made up of more pieces than they should be.... just to make it work and use the fabric! Thanks for watching.

    I love that you addressed straight of grain. As a garment sewer that is number one..getting back into my sewing, especially quilting now that I'm retired, jelly rolls & fat quarters etc was all new to me and I wondered about buying precut bundles of these. Tx for the info. I'll be sure to subscribe. Watching you from Ontario, Canada.

    • @bitspiecesquilting
      @bitspiecesquilting  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Hi Dialar - thanks for watching and commenting! I always get frustrated with fabric that is stretched or not printed properly and it can feel like such a compromise sometimes between getting the straight of grain or the print straight. Obviously straight of grain is critical in garment sewing, but a little more forgiving for patchwork. If you watch some of my other videos, you will notice that I'm not a big fan of the smaller pre-cuts (smaller than a fat quarter). The variety is fun, but so many companies add pinked edges to charm squares, jelly rolls and layer cakes and I hate those - they throw off the measurements and drive me nuts.

    I bet if you go back and look at those quilts the "poverty" blocks you made will be hard to see. They blended in so well. They are beautiful quilts and thanks for taking the time to explain each step and how you made such great use of your fabric. You are a really good instructor. Thank you!

    • @bitspiecesquilting
      @bitspiecesquilting  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Diana! There are some photos of the finished quilts - with quilting - on my website (on the page for this pattern) and it you know exactly where to find those pieced blocks, you might be able to see them, but in general - you are right - they blend in really well. Thanks for watching.

      Hi Teena - thanks for watching! I can appreciate how Kaffe fabrics might be a bit much for some!!! They are a lot! Cathy Martin at CatBird Quilts (www.youtube.com/@TheCatBirdQuilts) has some videos where she talks about using just a few and tempering the bright bright with other fabrics.

      Hi Liz - it's a quick and easy approach that works for me. With garments, you run into huge issues if your grain isn't straight. It's not as critical for patchwork, but does make things easier overall. Thanks for watching.

    Can’t wait to see your finished quilts 🤩 And you are right about not noticing that some pieces are ‘pieced’ 👍 Perhaps you might notice with less patterned fabrics, but we probably all should make the most of our fabrics by using them like this 😃 Great idea 👏👏🇬🇧
    And you could use those leftover pieces in the quilt backing 🤔

    • @bitspiecesquilting
      @bitspiecesquilting  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Glynis, I really wanted to make the most of every piece to get two tops. I haven't done much experimenting with the "after quilt" as Karen Brown from Just Get It Done Quilts calls it. I've seem some backings that look almost as good as the front... worth a try!

    Gorgeous quilts. Kaffe Fassett is one of my all time favorites ... combined with the disappearing 9-patch which I believe gives so much visual richness for the simplicity of the block. Excellent video 😊.

    • @bitspiecesquilting

    This was very informative and I'm so glad that you showed how to use all the scraps a lot of Quilters don't think about using their scraps as well as they could I'm so glad you did and that you were able to get two quilts out of this instead of just one

    What a great tutorial…clear and concise with nothing extraneous! I’ve stitched small strips together to complete a project but wondered if it was even allowed in Quilting. Thank you for validating me! 😂

    • @bitspiecesquilting
      @bitspiecesquilting  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Oh my dear!!! There are no rules in quilting - ever!!! If you manage to get fabric together with batting and backing and it lands on a the sofa, or a bed, it's a quilt. If that fails - you can call it fabric or fibre art, or the first steps to future greatness. Don't let anyone tell you there are rules or that your project isn't perfect in its own way - imperfections and all!!! Truly! We have enough stress in our lives - we don't need stress in our hobbies and passion as well. ❤️❤️
