My head is exploding. But I can't wait to go crazy trying all this cutting. You are my favorite to watch because you are fun to listen to and watch. I inherited a ton of quilting tools. My first quilt was a real challenge. The importance of measuring reared it's ugly head on my second quilt. I like quilt as I go but have yet to see a method to the madness of pulling it all together. Thank you for helping me.
Rob, this is a great tutorial. Yes more of this type would be great. Love your teaching as always fun, fun, fun, and so informative.
Rob Just want to say I really enjoyed your video. I been looking for a quilt pattern to do for someone.. and have been watching several of your video's sense you left MSQC. I have to say, You seem so much more relaxed, not over dosed on coffee.. (lol) Your video's are so much more enjoyable, and Understandable. I was really sadden when you left MSQC. But I now think it was really the best thing for you. I look forward to seeing many more of your video's. Love also how you go beyond fabric, to fabric shops, interviewing other great quilting artiest and sewing machine upkeep/repairs and caring for the sewing machine. So glad your still doing crafts, and helping us learn. I will look forward to seeing what your creating next.
Thank you for teaching this topic. I love making my own designs but the half square math has always been a stumbling block! I love how genuine and real you are, keep talking, lol!
I really enjoy the educational tutorials, you never know when you will need it lol.
Thank you Rob for this explanation I enjoyed seeing you break it down. I would like to see more.
Thanks for this. I have several quilts from my grandmother that I would love to recreate and this tutorial has just given me some idea how to start.
Awesome video, Rob!! Love your teaching style…FUN!!!
Granny, had a Spectacular quilt. The pattern is very smiliar to the Bear Paw block, but uniquely creative.
Rob, you're a Hoot, and I might add a thoughtful guide instructor to the Wonderful world of Quilting.
I love making quilts. Thank you for the tutorial.
Always so entertaining and educating. Love that you share your knowledge of quilting with so many. See you next Wednesday.
Thanks, Rob! Another inspirational learning project!
More a delectable mountains than bear paw design I think… A really lovely pattern - love it!
This was a fantastic video! Demystifying the math of quilting is something I thing is useful to so many people, myself included. So often a pattern shows you what to cut, but not the math behind it. Knowing this opens up so many new creative options.
Thanks Rob! Love the educational lessons that you do!
Thanks for this Rob. I understand more now you've given calculations.
Seven eighths! That’s the magic number I was missing when I designed my own quilt last year. I ended up having to trim down all my blocks because my HSTs finished too small (I should have made the HSTs first!). Thank you, this was very helpful.
Another lovely and interesting quilt chat to listen to while I hand quilt and relax!! Thank you for sharing this video and for all that you do!
I have several quilts of my grandmas that I wish to recreate so this is fabulous. Thank you!
Thank you for the tips on squares and half square triangles
I have always enjoyed your you tube videos, but, this one is the best one I have seen so far. I learned a lot with this one about designing my own quilt which I love to do. Thank you.
Great job! Love the layout and you made it so simple to figure out!!
FAntastic! Thanks so much for this great information! Granny will be proud of the tutorial: )
Thanks for the explanation. Makes sense when you explain things
Great video! If I'd realized how much math was involved in quilting and weaving (which I also do) I would've been too scared to start. But it's not too bad if you have the right teacher. :)
Been quilting for awhile. I really appreciate all the time you spent teaching us to recreate this quilt. I love the way you explain everything. Love your videos and all your energy.
Thanks Rob. That frabic is is too darn cute!!! 🙂
Love learning the math to make my own quilt. Thanks!
Thank you for the great info. 7/8 made my day!!
That fabric is super cute!
Rob! Did I mention I hate math lol. Thank you for an adorable quilt ☺️
I love that STEM fabric!
Brilliant Rob! Thank-you for sharing
Math has always been such a nightmare for me. Thank you so much for explaining that odd 7/8 I always see in quilt patterns. I just thought the wrote them that way to be mean! I absolutely love that fabric - - and how does one get such a lovely quilt lodged under a chair without someone noticing it?!
Or even missing where it got to, yeah I know right?
I really like the way you showed how to calculate the size of the block by adding to the finished size of the block in the finished quilt. It makes more sense to me. Thanks. I really enjoy your tutorials.
My local quilt shop is Quilting is my Therapy in Liberty Missouri

I love your you tube. Remaking a quilt pattern
What a great name for a store and town name in the USA are fascinating
Really enjoyed this one Rob...anytime I see the lab coat come out it's bound to be an interesting session! Thank you, for making this simple to understand and straightforward for processing.
math has never been my friend. But I am learning every day what I didn't learn in my teens. Thanks Rob for the Great tutorial. I have it stashed!!!
Great video. Thanks for explaining the HST measurements. I find blocks that I would like to enlarge but am not sure of the measurements. I think I can figure it out now.
Love this quilt! Great lesson, thank you.
Just bought a piece of this fabric! 😊
I love this block... I did one several years ago. I put eyes and noses on them and donated to a dog shelter for a auction
Rob it's ALWAYS great to see you creat and showing us how to have FUN. Will you ever be doing live classes in person?
great explanation. Makes total sense. Thanks so much
this was great you are always so fun and a awesome teacher, thank you
I hate math, but…it’s not so bad with you as a teacher! Love the block!
So cute.
Also, it was great to help us think about the process of dissecting and recreating a completed quilt.
Great video! Love the instructions. I like videos of you making something, and loved the recliner story! I like to use 12x12 graph paper to design blocks, and I add the seam allowances to the finished sizes. Almost any pattern can be made with squares and triangles.
Love the colors also
Hey rob ngawai from New Zealand love having a go at making your quilts
Kia Ora Ngawai. I'm from NZ too! I hope you and your family are staying safe
I love this video. It looks good
Love it. Thank you so much. I will be making one.
Kids gone for school??? (I'm a homeschooling mom) but I too found time for learning. Thanks for this video.
Thank you, thank you!! This is so helpful.
Love this video
Thank you, I always wanted to know how to do this
Thank you for taking the time to explain this block in such detail. On another note: Are you ever going to do a video to tell us about your trip to Peru? Thanks.
Please, I want to know, I am from Peru
I posted it on my personal channel, th-cam.com/video/wwky_FJ36Go/w-d-xo.html

Rob, I really enjoyed this video. I would love a video on figuring yardage. I'm designing a quilt and I dont know how to do that part.
Graph paper is my best friend. Lol. Great video! Happy sewing 🧵.
Very helpful thankyou
Great video. I would like a video that shows how to calculate the yardage needed also.
Terrific explanations for beginners, where were you 20+ years ago?😉PS , I don’t cut 1/8”. I’m more accurate when I trim.
Excellent thank you!!
thank you!
LOVE this.
Thanks Rob! Great Quilt Math lesson. You mentioned trying it with a 6" measurement, would that yield an 18-1/2" finished block unit that you are showing with the four units together? Then if I were to combine the four finished blocks, like you are showing on your design wall, would that then yield a 36" square finished quilt?
Draw it on paper, work out full measurements then deduct all the seam amount, it will get you a close result?
Great tutorial! So buying layer cakes is not advantageous for self designed projects?
I think only if you were to agree to trim things like HST down. And be prepared to add yardage for accents?
You are literally standing in front of the quilt there is no pattern for!❤️
I like Michael Miller fabric, but it's hard to find some of my favourite designs in the UK 😔
Just a thought - could the original quilt have been made using one of Moda's 'Cake mixes' ? The block looks similar to one of the layouts.
🥰
Is Should the 4 inch finish square start as a 5 inch square since on all sides you need a seam allowance?
Hi Cheryl, that sounds like it would be right, but if you started with a 5 inch square you’d end with a 4.5 finished square. The total amount removed from the height when you sew the top and bottom is 1/2 inch. When you sew the sides, you are removing only 1/2 inch from the width, not the height. I had to grab a couple scraps and cut them at 4.5” and 5” to prove it to myself the first time that it really is only 4.5”. Hopefully that did not confuse you further.
Great lesson. Old dog still learned a new trick today lol. Quick question do you use stream?😐
I respect beginner quilters, as I am one myself. That is why I watch your videos.
I guess when I am told that 4" plus 1/2" makes 41/2 " I am a bit taken aback.
I like your videos, but keep in mind that most of us are able to add sums.
Please do keep it simple, but not that simple. Please!
This is more like how to reverse engineer a quilt... 👍🏾
Sorry. That you are thinking you are etc.....
Gee Rob, watching your videos I can't help thinking that think you are speaking to intelligence impaired individuals!
Anne, my audience is brilliant , that is why they are watching. Please remember how many people use TH-cam to learn a new skill such as quilting. I approach every video assuming there is at least one person who has never made a quilt before, but is watching my video to learn how. I am not talking down to anyone, but offering free education that should be given to every new quilter.
Right on Rob! Thank you for considering beginner quilters!
Rob you are awesome, better more information than less., thanks for explaining so well
Many creative people do have interesting minds. As someone with ADD, some repetition is welcome to cement the information in place, plus I often take notes into a sewing journal book for later reference. Some skills are intrinsic and others require patience and repetition. Rob is awesome to be doing this work. #RESPECT
@@makingitfunwithmichaelmill8161 you are AWSOME at explaining so EVERYONE can understand why we do it the way we do. math is quite hard for many people, eps when they are learning a new thing. along with tackleing math!
You are F U N !!
