This is the best "how to" for Y corners I've ever seen. Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial. I am making an Attic Window quilt, using your clever template, and every corner is turning out perfectly!
Wonderful tutorial, so many different way and so love the fabric, so cute. Thank you Laura for sharing xx
Thank you, Laura, I can't tell you how many times I have come back to your instructions, they are wonderful.
Great way to show a technique in many steps that produce the same results, I personally liked the last step to create a dimensional and stronger quilt. Thank you for sharing and your technique Laura.
Thank you so much for showing the different ways to do the window block!
I've had the attic window ruler for over a year. Time to take it out of the package! Thanks for all the tips.
Great tutorial Laura! Love your fabric choices. Look forward to your tuts every week.
I finished an Attic Window panel quilt, thanks to this tutorial! Used YOUR mitered corner technique and it was SewVery Easy. New to quilting and intimidated by matching points, flat seam, squaring blocks, etc. The panel I had cut into windows, tried the snowball technique, but did not like the extra seam. The unfinished windows was a reminder of unsuccessfully completing a small top. Then this video came along, I mitered one window, and another and another. Perfect miters every time, cardboard template Brilliant!!! Then I ripped out the others and redid them all. 12 windows total. This is my second quilt top, finished in one afternoon. Thank you so much for making this something I can be proud off.
I'm so glad I was able to help:) Congratulations on your second quilt
You can always count on Lara for wonderfully clear demonstrations plus alternative approaches.
If you’ve never watched Donna Jordan’s videos I think you’ll love them in a different, and equally valuable way.
Donna’s videos focus on basic construction and Lara’s focus is broader and more conceptual. I stop by often when I want my brain tickled.
Jenny Doan’s videos are always fun. She’s very laidback and loves scrappy quilts.
These three women are fabulous guides for you. As you found here all three focus on the joy of quilting, are very encouraging and don’t sweat the small stuff. If you like Lara’s fabulous channel you’ll feel at home on the other two.
And WELCOME ‼️‼️ to this endlessly fascinating world.
You make it look easy! I've never made them before but I'm going to try one, thanks for the great tutorial
Looks like a great project! Beautiful fabric selection!
You rock! I have been given a panel that actually has the squares bordered with black, to make an entire picture. But I wanted to do the 3D effect. I was nervous, but with your tutorial, I can even try some samples and see which way works best for me.
Thank you, I really appreciate your help.
I'd made this quilt years ago and had a hard time doing it. You ways are so much easier and faster. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this video. I made a small quilt for my sewing room using your technique. I love watching your videos and good luck with your new book. I will be ordering it soon. You make learning fun.
Thank you so much! I have wanted to make an Attic Window quilt for a long time but never could figure it out. Your turorial has made this block possible for me. Great video!
Me too
Thanks for sharing this simple way of mitering corners - I'll use method 1 from now on!
Laura, fantastic!!! Love all the techniques!!! Comments below of quilters digging out this attic ruler.... dig out some printed blocks for windows too! Charlie Brown and the great pumpkin, vintage Easter bunny blocks and my favorite Dr. Seuss green eggs and ham printed blocks! Family photo transfer to fabric.... this list goes on! And, so many faux wood or marble fabrics for the sills to make even more realistic!! Eeek! My brain is thinking too much!! 😂 Thank you!!!
Block 6 could be made in Christmas fabric and the little pockets used for lollies/Candy as an advent calendar. So many ways to make one block. I like the snowballing one the best however I enjoy making block 1 as well!
This is perfect for my needs, I am working on a piece which will be a cottage style window, with a vase of flowers out of EPP appliquéd onto the backing fabric, hopefully to give the affect of a vase in a window, well that’s the plan... I really love the choices of construction ...big thank you
This was very helpful. I have special panel from a state shop hop for the window I've been wanting to use as attic windows. Love your videos!
Hello Laura, I have copied your quilt, and have given it to a friend for her first grand daughter. She was delighted with it. I hope you know that you are really making lots of people, happy, and grateful to you.
Thank you and I'm happy you are enjoying them:)
Great video! That fabric was adorable! I loved seeing the many ways to do the Attic Window. Have wanted to do this pattern for years but was intimidated. Now, I can choose the method I am most comfortable with. Thank you, Laura!
wow thanks for showing all the ways to make the attic window. loved learning them.
You are an Awesome instructor! Thank you for this video of multiple methods for this design!
Great video! I like your template better than number 3 that I use to use!Love the material too! Thanks again for sharing!
Thanks for great tutorial you really explain clearly you’re a good teacher .I follow all your tutorials .👍
I always use the traditional method because it’s tried and true and it’s easy to be accurate. Over time I’ve always relied on the markings on my Bernina feet.
Before I got my Bernina I just used my small ruler to mark the stops. I futzed around with a variety of tools and finally just donated them because I realized that I didn’t need them.
Having said that, it’s always a joy to see such alternatives. The goal is accuracy, nu? And it’s the end product that counts!
It's like you're a mind reader! I've been wanting to do the attic window quilt but couldn't find a tutorial. Thank You, for showing me all 6 different ways to make the window♡
perfect, which way are you going to make them?
SewVeryEasy thinking #1 has a lot of prep work, the half squares make to many seam lines but when I get into making them...I might try them all!
Love all the options, thanks Laura Ann.
That is so cool! I love all the options you gave us.
Thank you for information and fun all at the same time. Great tutorial.
Great video Laura! I didn't realize there were so many ways to do attic windows. Thanks!
Great video! Showing the different ways to put them together really made it "click" for me.
This is a great tutorial. Thank you Laura. I love this block!
Thank you! I was just beginning an attic window quilt. Thank you very much!

Loved this video. Thanks!
I really like the different techniques for making the attic window, loved your choice the fabrics and colours. Have you ever thought of making a demo of the hunters star one with the ruler and the other using traditional method.
good idea, thanks Doreen:)
Awesome tutorial!
Think I'll go with method 3. That quarter inch corner templet I'm going to study some. I might be able to utilize it in some way when I miter my binding corners (Mark the corners when get there). Maybe.
Great video. I have the template and now I know how to use it. Thanks
Thank you Laura. Time to pull out my panels
I really really love this I will try this.
Great video for a beginner like me. Thanks!
Wow! Love it!

Very Helpful!!
I have a panel with beautiful birds printed on it. This will be perfect for it.
❤️ this...so cute! One question, do you pre-wash and dry all of your fabrics?
AS much as I can!

OH yes, how fun!
THAT IS SO CLEVER
buenas tardes..desde bogota Colombia..lindos sus trabajos nos recomendó mary para verlas gracias feliz dia

Could you please clarify the size of the strips you mention at 11:00? Are the strips 3" wide and 7" or 8" long?
I said ...7" or 8" ( as it will be trimmed down after) You are really good at this:) thanks again!
can anybody help me with number 5,how would I attach another panel,
How did you quilt this please?
Do you think it will work with a picture I want to make a lap quilt for my sister I printed out a large picture of our mom. We lost her a while back. Anyway I've piece those together and I've been trying to think of someway to finish it.
Yes, it would make a beautiful quilt:)
I like the first way best
My first thought was to make this into a Bento Box with Asian foods in each center square!
Great infrastructure 🌟🌟🌟🌟👍🙏🏻
Hey, Laura, First, I want to thank you for making all of the videos for us to watch & learn from. I love your channel & have been watching it for years!!! Anyway, I was curious about the main fabric, do you know where I can find it at? I saw that you made this video in Oct, last year, but my daughters having another baby in Dec. or Jan. We're not sure what sex it is yet but this fabric could go for a boy or girl, don't you think? Thanks again for all the time you take out of your life to share these videos with us. I know you've taught me tons of things! ;)
It is a Susybee fabric. www.worldofsusybee.com/textiles.html
Your 1/4 foot most likely has a notch on the side indicating your 1/4 mark. Mine has 3 notches, one where the needle is, one a 1/4 behind the needle, and another notch 1/4 in front of the needle. So you just stop sewing when your fabric hits the 1/4 notch before the needle. If you want to leave 1/4 at the start unsewn, just line the fabric up to the first 1/4 inch notch before the needle, and start sewing. If you do want to make a mark on the fabric indicating the 1/4 that's fine too. It might be easier to see a black line than a notch on the side of a foot. But if your in a hurry just looking at the foot instead of making a mark on the fabric would be quicker.
Oh yes I total agree. If your foot has marks on them that is the way to go. Thanks for commenting so that others will know:)
Wow mam sooooo nice mam superb mam and i like soooo much really sooooo easy mathod thanks mam for sharing us💓💓💓💓👌👌👌👌👌

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wow

wow mam beautiful
I'm new to quilting and love the options for making the attic window. My favorite method is #6, but it should be noted that if you are using a directional pattern, cutting the larger square into the two triangles results in the subsequent two squares being mirror images.
Also, I'm not sure what you're saying at 12:35. "So I'm going to have [?] within that 3½" window mark."
I going to have the four friends together within in that 3/12" window
project is cute your teaching is very confusing....I could never make what you have said and shown.....
Too complicated
What a fun video! Your project came out so cute too :) Paying very close attention ,and knowing my skills ( and lack off) I like the 2nd method. Never seen it done like that...yep..I need to try a wall hanging . Thanks, Laura ...appreciate the time and effort you put in.
Thanks Terry:)
