I noticed that some were thinking that this was a lot of wasted fabric, and it is if you look at it that way.. But, I am a beginner quilt, and this method is the FIRST method I tried as a BEGINNER quilter.. I LOVED IT... It was sooooo easy.. I recommend this to ALL NEW BEGINNING QUILTERS..... so fast and so easy... I LOVED IT... Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us...God bless...
Hi Mary, I totally agree with you! I have lots of 'wasted' fabric in unfinished quilt tops that have became too daunting to finish due to their complicated cutting and piecing techniques. Better a finished quilt than a half-finished one that zaps your confidence. Great comment, thanks for your perspective, I'm definately trying this!
Thank you so much for having this video up. I just had carpel tunnel surgery, and I’m trying to find projects that don’t have a lot of cutting. Thank you
Now that I have a lot more time thanks to the in-home quarantine, I think I'll use some of my late mother-in-law's quilting fabric & make some potholders for her granddaughters for Christmas. I have never quilted, but I have sewed for many, many years. This video is exactly what I was looking for, something easy & fast. Thanks!
Mercy, mercy this is the most quick and easy quilting technique ever...What I like is every seam meets no uneven seams at all. Love, love this technique and best of all NO CUTTING. Kudos to you Peg for a job well done...
I have never seen anything so ingenious!!!! Can't wait to try it. Can't believe anyone could be grumpy enough to thumbs down a fabulous video. Thank you so much for sharing this technique.
I love this. I am recovering from a stroke, April of this year. This week was my first session with my sewing machine and it was great. At first I was a bit clumsy but I can do everything required. You can imagine how good this is for me, Thankyou for sharing your very clever ideas. Today I made a very tasty corn chowder from a TH-cam family, Stivers Homestead so this has been a nice, learning day for this ol gal. Thankyou and hello from Belast NI.
Wow, I feel sorry for quilters who have not stumbled on this video. Absolutely marvelous! Thank you for sharing your creativity and skills. Can't wait to try this.
Awesome. Funny, you don't look like the kind of lady who would be looking for fast, fun, and easy. I am most impressed. I'm getting too frail to maneuver whole bed quilt so I'm making pillows. I can't wait to make these all into pillows. I'm thinking coordinating outdoor fabric and throw pillows in all these different blocks all over the patio furniture. Thanks for sharing your ideas. I'm looking for more of your work.🤗
How SMART and CREATIVE is this guest. I would have never thought of any of these ingenious yet simple ideas. I especially loved the last block that made the pinwheel.
I've wanted to make a picnic tablecloth forever, but didn't want to add a back. This method is perfect for my tablecloth. It's a great idea. Thank you!
Wow! Out standing, I can't wait to try this method. I have been sewing since I was a child and this has brought new life into quilting. Great Job and Thank you!
I love your creativity .... I havent dont triangles as I am self taught and I stick to squares and rectangles.... Thank you I am going to give this a go...
+National Quilters Circle I LOVE your video! Tg is is a major tip in quilting for me. I have issues with weakness in my hands and cutting fabric by myself is next to impossible so I always have to find someone to help. With your techniques I can do it all by myself! I am so excited to try this. Thank you for sharing!
I think this is a really GREAT idea, I'd have never have thought of it, and it's so effective, and there's no worry about those raw edges!!!!!!! Thank you so much for a great tutorial
Absolutely love this technique! I've been wanting to quilt for decades but have been intimidated by all the measuring, piecing and cutting. Now I will attempt to quilt. Thank you🐝
Your methods of folding the square boxes for a quill is so amazing and wonderful. You makes it is so interesting , easier and faster to make quill. Thank you for sharing. 👍👍👍
Every time I look at quilting, I see more and more great videos. This was yet another one to add to my collection. I can see I am going to have quite a bit of fun doing this quilt with these ideas. Thank You for sharing this.
She takes time to explain every detail so newbies like me can understand every bit of it. Thank you for sharing and giving such a variety not just one thing.
After four years I am so glad I found this! A great way to make a fast quilt. As far as the doubled areas of fabric, I'm thinking of a flannel lap quilt...the extra fabric would be great for warmth.
well I LOVE ALL the techniques you show in this video. I am just now trying to learn how to make quilts and I have watched LOTS of youtube video tutorials on the subject and I must say, yours Is ONE OF THE BEST.. Thanks so much for all the cool and interesting ideals on how to use quilting squares.. God Bless...
WOW you are amazing and you sure used those brain cells on this fab idea. Who would have thought that this looks soo good. Easy, fun, and does not take so long! Thank you so much!

Excellent ideas! I especially like the ‘sampler’ quilt. Thanks for sharing these, I can’t quilt as much as I used to and am ready to make some easy quilts!
Being new to quilting (but not to sewing), I so enjoyed seeing this application for adding squares or triangles to a quilt block. Very creative and as you mentioned, less tiring to calculate and sew together. Thank you
VERY clever!! I would think a person would need to be extremely careful when quilting the finished top ... but what fun this could be with a layer cake and a charm pack and just let the creativity happen!
I love this tutorial! You have a wonderful imagination with super ideas! Thank you SO much for sharing these ideas with a beginner like me. What a blessing to have discovered this video! Thank you very much!
What a fantastic idea. I've got a big stash I wanted to use a lot of it for charity quilts. This will be a perfect for good intentions with more ideas than time. Thanks for sharing! Janice in Indiana
Peg, this is brilliant and not something I've seen or heard of in my NE Ohio area. I will share this link with my guilds and, perhaps, show a few of your examples. Like you said, this is a great technique teach kids how to piece a quilt. I have 2 tween girls who want to learn and I've been a bit hesitant about them using a rotary cutter. Thank you for doing this video.
Love this technique for someone who has never made quilt or had a lesson I’m sure I could follow your inst and end with a quilt so thanks for great video
Hi Peg, Thank you for sharing the wonderful idea, I'm new to quilting, have only done a small things, and this make it much easier for me to get going on some simple ideas, I will have a go tomorrow, Thanks so much, Cheers.
