Please keep going with the 4 leaf clover designs. Great video.
Thanks for letting me know. I am so glad that you like the video.
What ever your heart desires to create we will enjoy. Love it when you show your blocks with different colors.
Thank you so much for the vote of confidence!
I would love to see the negative block made into a quilt. I was also wondering about a scrappy version. It would be fun to see that. Beautiful block. Love the video.
It looks like next month is going to be the negative version. Ohhh, a scrapy version. I will have to do a computer mock up, but I will definitely include it in the next video for you.
I love viewer requests.
Keep going, I never tire of watching you create!
Happy to hear that! Thanks!
Hi Brita, I would love to see more of this design. Love this quilt block and the outcome is beautiful. Thank you for another great tutorial.
I am so happy that you like it. Looks like there will be more clovers next month!
Keep on sharing your incredible designs!! ❤
Thank you, I will! Happy to hear that you enjoy them.
Lovely disappearing quilt
Thank you so much.
I love all your video's. I will watch whatever you come up with.
I appreciate that! Thank you so much.
I'm very interested in another 4 leaf clover quilt. My husband's family background is Irish and my favorite color is 💚 so YES. Thank you for all the hard work and inspiration.
I am thinking I might call the next quilt "Luck of the Irish". I hope that you will like it.
Thank you for appreciating how much work goes into these videos for me. I watch some of these professional videos like Missouri Star and I realize that they can put out one a week because they have a lot of help, with camera people, editors, staff to make samples and sew the quilts, etc. Here it is just me, myself and I.
edit: They also have a dedicated sound stage. I have a guest bedroom turned studio and have to clear up all the sewing in order to set up the cameras. Then have to put all the filming equipment away when I want to sew again. LOL
Love this block. Keep going with the clovers
Will do. Thanks for letting me know.
Love that you show the pattern in so many different fabrics.
Great inspiration
That is so reassuring to hear. I made so many samples, I was afraid that I had finally gone too far and people would be sick of so many variations.
Impossible! Your loyal fans enjoy whatever you offer.
🥰🥰🥰
I like the softest versions, pastels
I am so glad to know that someone else likes the lower contrast versions as well. Thanks!
You are a genius. The negative block would be very interesting to see next. Thank you.❤😺🙂
You are making me blush! Thanks for the feedback, it looks like I will be making the negative block next month.
I love seeing the variations you come up with after cutting a simple block and moving pieces. Thank you, and keep showing us more of our ideas!
I am so glad that you like them and thanks so much for the kind words. 💖💖
More of the 4 leaf clovers please. As always, thank you so much for putting your videos up!!❤
I am so happy that you like it. It looks like there will be more clovers next month.
Love how you show the different color ways.
I am so glad to know that you like it.
Anxious for more clovers!
Will Do! Thanks.
Sooner, please, Brita! Can’t get enough!
Will Do.
Would love to see more of this. I feel like I am learning a bunch about color and patterns! Thank you❤
I am so glad to hear that you are learning from these videos, that is my goal. I looks like a lot of people agree with you and next month will be more 4-Leaf clover blocks.
More please! Your lesson on contrast was very helpful.
The best, clearest explanation I’ve seen (and understood!) to date!
Thanks, will do!
I am so happy that you found it helpful! Thank you!
Love to see all of your block. Very beautiful.
Thank you so much for letting me know.
Would like to see the other 4 leaf clover designs. Thanks again for a great video! Always look forward to your videos! ♥
I am so happy to know you would like to see the negative design.
Love your disappearing block patterns
Thank you so much.
Thank you for your teaching and sharing. You are an outstanding teacher, and very easy to follow. 😊
You are so kind. Thank you so much! 🥰🥰
Brita: This is a great disappearing pinwheel. I love the pattern, the color choice, and a special shout-out for the naming - Emerald Isles. Love it!
I am so happy that you like this video.
I so look forward to your videos!
You are making me smile. Thank you!
I’d like to see the negative version next month while this one is fresh in my mind😊
I appreciate you letting me know that you want to see them next month.
Love green and White background. Thank you for all your work in presenting these videos. I look forward to all of them.🥰
You are so kind. It is nice that you appreciate all the work that goes into these videos. I look forward to seeing you after the next video.
Brita, keep doing what you do. I for one like the green and white one.
Will do! Thanks for letting me know that you like the one I chose for the cover. I always love some reassurance.
Loved this pattern. I say do the negative one next month. I want to see what it looks like right now...LOL
Thanks so much for letting me know.
Great tutorial as always! The lesson about contrast and value was very helpful. Thank you for your time and efforts!
You are so kind. I am so glad that you enjoyed it.
Lovely to see you back on You Tube, & as ever a brilliant film.
You are so sweet. Thanks.
Superior! God bless.
Thank You!
Thanks, Brita, for another excellent lesson! I love your exuberance, and I appreciate your style and point of view! Thanks for giving us a window into your thought process and reasoning for choices. And, yes, I would like to see the last option (negative?) in another video whenever you can get to it.
I am so happy that you enjoyed the lesson and am reassured that you liked seeing all the variations and what I went through to get to the final design. It looks like the negative block will be next month's video. I am just hoping that I can get it out in a month, not 2 1/2 months like this one. LOL
You're amazing at your craft
I appreciate all the wonderful comments.
Thank you so much for all your videos. They have helped me really look at quilt possibilities differently. Your showing of the same pattern in multiple fabric colors allowed me to better visual what you were talking about in terms of contrast. I understood the principle but seeing it really allowed me to look at my own fabrics and get a better sense of what they would look like in a quilt.
I am so glad that this was helpful. This post makes me very happy. I was afraid that I was showing TOO many variations. But I had spent so much time making all the samples (to help me decide which fabrics to use) it seemed a waste not to use them in the video.
Thank you so much for the reassurance!
Brita
I’m not sure there’s such a thing as too many variations for Brita’s Fan Club‼️‼️
I love your videos so please keep them coming! It always amazes me how different each quilt is in the different colors and layouts. Thank you, Brita!
I am so very happy that you like them. It makes all the work worthwhile.
Love all these designs. It is so helpful to see how different values and combinations change the look. Please show us the negative version!
Thank you so much. I thought for sure people would be sick of the clover blocks, but it looks like I will continue with the negative next month. It is a fun block, especially when paired with the positive.
I think I like the muted multi best but they are all lovely. Keep on with the clovers and anything else you do.
Thanks so much for sharing your favorites with me. You are very sweet.
Oh wow 👏 the 4 color quilt combos are amazing especially the lower contrast! I love the way you think! Also I definitely don't live in a bowling alley lol so i love that you've done the experimenting for us.
I am so happy to know that you also like the lower contrast version. It is my favorite also. But imagine how it would look in a Thumbnail (I did and it looks very muddy). I am glad that you appreciate all the experimenting.
ps. I wouldn't judge you if you did live in a bowling alley. 🤣
I would love to see the negative next month please. Your videos are the best.
YOU are the best. Thank you for the kind words.
Thank you for the lesson. I get nervous and confused when it comes to the colors. Would love to see more 😊
I am so glad that this helps.
Love your videos and all of your designs. Please keep making them!
Thank you! I are too kind.
I love your ideas!!! I really am interested to see how versatile these blocks can become with the varied color combinations and the arrangements! It’s fascinating and inspiring!
I am so happy that you like these designs. Thanks for the kind words and for being here!
Oh. The little pin!
This video is to celebrate St. Patrick's day. Growing up if you went out of the house on St. Patrick's day without wearing something green you would get a pinch by almost everyone you saw. I wore my green shirt on the last video and didn't want to wear it twice in a row. So, the green pin.
I am so happy that you like it.
Me encantó, tan sencillo y hermoso 🥰🥰
Gracias Brita 😘🙅
Muchas Gracias! 🥰🥰
I'd love to see the next block❤
That seems to be the consensus, thanks. I will look for you next month.
I liked the green and orange combinations the best, but they were all attractive. It was fun seeing the different background colors. I can see how the light colored fabric really changes the contrast... sometimes that more calm, muted color is what we want. But white is awesome for making the block really stand out.
Thank you so much for the feedback. I am so glad that you liked it. I was worried it would be too much. I appreciate the reassurance.
I like two-color version quilts, but loving using cream color instead of white.
I went to a quilt show last weekend, and noticed a few beautiful quilts I knew I have seen before ... They were your quilts!
I was so excited to see those beautiful quilts made by you, Brita!
This is so exciting to hear that you saw my quilts at QuiltFest! With such a big show, I wasn't sure if anyone would actually notice them. Thanks!!!!
This is the absolute best tutorial I’ve seen on contrast. I’m an old quilter and I have learned a thing today. Thank you😊
This makes me very happy, I am so glad that you liked it.
Love it Brita!!
Thank you.
Brita, I cant wait for you to write your book!
Me too!
Thank you for the lesson, Brita! Great ideas with so much variety.
You are so welcome! Thanks for being here.
Nice to see you back!
Thanks so much, it is great to be back.
Just love how you think of these designs. Love the dark green -
Thank you so much!
I love every combination. The peach background is my favorite. You always do an incredible job. Thank you
The peach is my favorite too! I am so happy that you like the video.
I love your creativity and how you make it easy to make. Thanks
Thank you so much! They really are easy.
Yes please keep showing green clover quilts
I will, thanks!
We've been missing you. This is great! Tks
Also, I would love to see more next month. This was great!
You are so kind. It is great to be back and to see you again.
I will look for you next month with the sequel to this video.
I love seeing the different combinations you come up with. I enjoy how easy you make them all look but they have an impact upon viewing them and lots of ways to put them together. I could watch them every day . Thank you and hope to see more.
Thank yo so much for the kind words. You are making me blush. 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for all your hard work. The color variations demonstrated how the feel of the quilt changes. Loved them all.
Thanks for appreciating how much work goes into one of these videos. This took me almost twice as long to make as a regular video because of all the samples and trying to figure out what designs and colors to use.
I am a little late to finding your tutorials but wanted to say how much I love them. You make it simple to follow, fun to do and I especially love seeing the pattern in various colors and layouts for us that may be challenged in those categories. Great tutorials.
You aren't late! You are right on time, I am so glad to have you along for the ride. I am very happy to know that you like my tutorials.
Stay Well and Happy Quilting.
Lots to think about with the different colors. I enjoy anything you show since I always learn something.
Thanks! I am so happy that you are enjoying the videos.
I want to see what you do with the negative block ASAP. I really look forward to your videos. They are so unique.
Thanks for the feedback. I was sure people would have had their fill for a while and want me to wait. 😄😄
So much work you put into the color ideas for this quilt! Please choose what to do next by whether or not you are sick of this design. I will be happy whichever way you go.
Thanks so much for the vote of confidence.
These blocks make such lovely quilts! Normally I'm not a fan of pinwheels - for some reason they "drag" my eye along the seamlines and make me think of swastikas - and doing them as a disappearing pinwheel makes a huge difference.
Thank you for the concise lesson in value and contrast; I've just started learning about color theory and that was an excellent explanation of the terms. And then you've got so many different examples for us viewers, so we can see those terms in action. So much to think about! I will definitely be looking at my fabric stash with a different eye.
Showing the blocks & resulting quilts with both a white background, and a softer colored background was very helpful. It would be interesting to see a quilt made with a combination; for example, if instead of orange/peach combined with medium green/light green, have orange/peach combined with medium green/white. I'm guessing it would look a little less muted that way.
You are a marvelous teacher. I'd give this video 100 thumbs up if TH-cam allowed it, and have added it to my "choosing fabrics" playlist. Thank you again!
You are so kind. I really appreciate the detailed feedback. It is so great to know that you appreciate everything I was trying to accomplish with this video.
Brita
Yes, do the negative clover designs. Great video.
Will do! Thanks.
Bring on the negative version!! I love this quilt pattern!!
Will do! Thanks.
Good to see you again. Really like the study of value and contrast which I don't understand. I like the patterns with the medium green and orange with white background. White backgrounds can get boring, but I think tone-on-tone whites are the answer
Thanks for the feedback. It is nice to know that someone else prefers the multi color version.
Thank you! LOVE IT!
Thank you!
Happy to see you back!! Love your designs ❤
So happy to be back. Thanks so much.
Your videos have become so much more informative in content and presentation. Keep doing what your doing talent wins out every time. ❤ s.
Awwww. You are making me blush. I always love hearing from you. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much I can only imagine how much work is involved in making these videos so much information. I have made several quilts using your designs. I’m still learning about colour and contrasts and hues. I have never had it explained so clearly until today BRILLIANT ❤
This makes me so happy! It is a lot of work and I sometimes wonder if it is worth it until I get wonderful comments like this. Thank you so very much.
I would LOVE to see pictures of the quilts you made with my patterns.

Hi Brita. I'd like to see the black & white 4 leaf clovers. Plus, I always love the shout out to vets/armed forces (and those who sew them) and the red, whit, & blue versions. And I love seeing a scrappy version, too. ❤ If that's too much, any version/s you want to show is great!
You are the second person to ask for a scrappy version so I will most likely do that. I will have to see about how long the video is running before I make a final decision about additional version. I really try to keep these below 10 minutes. 6 to 8 minute videos seem to do best.
Thanks so much for the kind words and suggestions.
I really love suggestions from my viewers and I will do my best.
Brita
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! 😊
I love this! It's amazing. Truly green is one of my favorite colors. Excellent tutorial 🎉
I am so happy that you like it. Thanks so much!
Sure. I'd love to see the continuation of the 4 Leaf Clover.
Thanks for letting me know. I am surprised, but that seems to be the consensus.
love this design, more like it would be awesome, thank you for another great video
I am so glad you like it! I was afraid that so many variations would burn people out.
not gonna happen@@QuestioningQuilter
😄😄
Thank you so much for your instructional method, straight into the point no fluffy instructions that I don't need thank you so much
I appreciate the feedback. I am always trying to walk that fine line between too short and not completely clear to new quilters and too long so that experienced quilters get bored. I really appreciate the reassurance that I got it right. 🥰🥰
Always enjoy your tutorials. Was waiting for the Block 1 quilt Emerald Isle to be shown scrappy, like you almost always do.
Thank you so much!
Such an interesting video!! This is a very versatile pattern and the versions I like best are high contrast with the white. Thank you
Thank you. I am glad that you shared which ones you like the best.
Yay another video from you. I just finished the double vision and it came out great.
I am so happy that your double vision quilt came out great. I hope that you will send me a picture with permission to share it. brita@questioningquilter.com
So glad to have you as a subscriber.
Brilliant as always, thank you Brita x
Thank you! 💖
Always amazing designs shown by you! Thank you Brita!
You are so welcome. Thank you for being here.
Thank You Brita great blocks and you make it so easy❤
Love your haircut ❤
greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
Tack! It is wonderful to know of a viewer from Sweden. My grandfather's family was from Sweden and I am named for the first of his family to arrive in this country. Well, not just her, there were a lot of women named Brita in his family. I carry the name with pride.
I visited Sweden in 1978 and absolutely loved it. I hope to visit again some day.
@@QuestioningQuilteri hope you visit again please let me know if you do : )
Thanks! I will.
I've only been quilting in the last couple of years. I love whatever you want to contribute. So many ideas !!
I am super happy to help new quilters. Welcome to our wonderful hobby (addiction).
I love both of the different backgrounds. But understand about how the computer images do not show the true beauty of the different variations.
In regards to having a video with the positive and negative blocks with a St. Patrick theme I am game.
Thank you for sharing your creativity and knowledge with these beautiful designs.😊
Thank you so much! 💖
I love this quilt!! Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure! Thanks for being here.
Great video. I am new to your channel and very impressed. Please keep the clovers coming
Welcome to my channel. I am so happy to have you here. I will be making the sequel for next month and will look forward to seeing you again!
I love watching your tutorials. I’m a newish quilter and I learned so much today. Thank-you!
I am so glad that you learned something from it. I love helping new(ish) quilters. 💕💕
I will be happy with anything you do!! I love your ideas and it helps trigger ideas for me!
I am glad that this is triggering ideas for you. Inspiring quilters is the very best that I can do. Thanks!
Brilliant
Thank you!
Anytime! Thanks for the tutorial
Thank you so much!
Very interesting.
Thanks!
Как я обожаю ваши ролики Вы просто супер!!!
Большое спасибо! 🥰🥰
Amazing!!❤😊
Thanks! 🥰
Would love to see the other video sooner than later.
Thanks for letting me know.
There you go again, Brita! Educating us, helping us SEE and understand more, and entertaining us with your infectious joy in trying out different possibilities and analyzing outcomes.
I’m in the group that isn’t a fan of the plain white, but this video and your explanations have helped me understand more about value. Have you ever considered using a white on white fabric instead? There are some beautiful batiks that might be interesting. I don’t think a grunge white would look very good, though.
As always, thank you for sharing your intellect and joy.
Oops: contrast. I do get the terms mixed up!
Thanks so much for this. I am so happy that this has helped you. Yay!
I actually almost always use white on white fabric, but the camera doesn't pick it up. This quilt is actually uses white fabric with little white daisies.
I agree with you about everything having a white background. Off-white, which looks great in person just ends up looking dingy on the video.
I am so glad that you are here. Thank You!
I like the emerald green and white. I just did a baby quilt in hunter star with pale green and white. Maybe a 3, perfect for a baby.
I am sure that it was beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Hello love your channel and unique look at block and motif making. Was so happy when Jenny Doan gave you a shout out on MSCQ. Keep em coming. Regards Michael, ps please don't keep us in suspense about the negative value block! Lol😊
Thank you so much! It looks like I am doing the negative block for next month!
By the way, I love your profile picture.
Brita
I love making quilt tops because I was immediately drawn to the patterns, so it's so cool how these blocks can change so drastically. Glad to see you making videos again.
Thanks so much for the kind words.
