Hi Amy! You bring sunshine to my day! Vacation in September with sewing machine. Uh oh! Where's my cutting mat? On the dining table at home, ready to be packed with sewing supplies. The dollar in town did not have any. Luckily JoAnn fabrics in town. Yes, even a sale going on. 5 by 7 worked just fine. I use a smaller ruler for 1.5 inch blocks. Oh, can I see it ok? Marion.
Oh yes! Here we are again, saving the same little pieces. I'm eager to see what you make with those 1-1/2" HSTs. I keep 'em, too, and have become enamored making little mini quilts with them.
Thanks, Amy. That was a fun episode! I love 1 1/2" squares, HSTs, and strips. It's my go-to size. Even though they're stupidly expensive, I bought the 1 1/2" and 2 1/2" bloc locs - didn't know they existed! I was using the larger bloc loc for small HSTs, but the small ones will save a lot of time and fiddling. And bought a small cutting mat, too. I've tried at lease three rotating mats, and they just make me nuts.
I'm currently trimming 1.5" HSTs with my 6.5" Blockloc. I'm trying to minimise the number of rulers I buy, but I can definitely see that the 1.5'" Blockloc with a tiny mat would speed up my process. And it's cute!
Hello Beautiful!😍 I just watched Merry Mabel Market making a “Donut” quilt. When she does her stitch and flip corners she makes the tiny HST’s with the extra corners. She’s planning a video with what she makes with them. I can’t wait to see what you make with yours. I just acquired the Omnigrid press and cut mat. I LOVE it. ( I got it for $12 at an auction🎉) Happy cutting.
Wow! I don't think I would ever actively use 1.5 inch blocks certainly not enough to create a whole quilt! I have never seen a sandpaper mat...I am intrigued ❤
I’m sure at some point I will believe that the entire quilt of tiny square is the worst idea I’ve ever had😆. The sandpaper board is really a useful tool. Almost a singular use item BUT it really works!
I cannot love my bloc loc rulers more! But the best thing: I have a reallly old tv tray that has a small lip on the edges, my omnigrid flip mat fits perfectly inside this lip! I take that old tv tray to retreats, put it next to me, and I can cut or press without having to get up!!
I miss your purple hair! The block lock tool looks very helpful, I will look for it in the sizes that I use. I always enjoy your videos. You’re practical with a tiny edge, my style, too!
You mean spotify and car play? lol I guess you could name your playlist mixed tape. Love that little Bloc Loc; I need to get one of those. Have a wonderful week.
I'm not a fan of Frixon pens either. I don't like that they don't completely disappear and i don't like the way they drag on the fabric leaving an erratic line.

OMG girl you got that right. Yes to chips and salsa, yes to chocolate and peanut butter and oh yes to Shemar Moore and no shirt 😜
🥰🥰♥️😎

Perfect! And thank you so much for your kind words!
I loved the video especially the opening It had me laughing. Love the diamond quilt in the back. I ordered a few things. Take care of yourself hugs.
Thank you 😊
I buy those little cutting mats at the dollar tree. I use it when I’m having to square up a lot of trimming up blocks.
Awesome. Thanks for the resource!
Yes, for $1.25! It is awesome!
Maybe use an 18mm rotary cutter with the 1.5” block lock ruler. 😊
Great tip thanks! I have a 28. Maybe I’ll give it a try and see if it’s easier.
Shirtless Shamar . . . Yes, please! Oh yeah, Bloc Locs are amazing too! 😂
Oh yes. He’s just lovely! 🥰 😆♥️
Oh yes! Here we are again, saving the same little pieces. I'm eager to see what you make with those 1-1/2" HSTs. I keep 'em, too, and have become enamored making little mini quilts with them.
Oh that’s a cute idea! Thank you!
I love love my omnigrid mat too! The firmness of the press side is wonderful. And I always have a mechanical pencil at hand along with gridded paper.
It’s so good right!!! And gridded paper- I seem to not be able to stop buying it 😆😊♥️
My fav is my 4-1 tool that has a burnisher, seam ripper & stiletto. Easy to pack and take for sew dates😊
That sounds awesome. What sorcery is this??
Thanks, Amy. That was a fun episode! I love 1 1/2" squares, HSTs, and strips. It's my go-to size.

I've tried at lease three rotating mats, and they just make me nuts.
Thanks so much! I agree those tiny rulers are quite spendy, but they are the right tool for the job sometimes. Thanks for watching and for sharing.
Chocolate and peanut butter yummy. I love my sew and flip corners need that little bloc loc ruler.
It's so good! I know the bigger ones trim all the sizes but the tiny one makes it so easy that I’ll actually DO it! 😊♥️
Hi Amy! Thank you! Marion
You are so welcome! 😊
My favorite tool combo right now is my stripology xl ruler and a five pound hand weight (I've been doing a lot of cutting, lol!)
Me too! I love my xl stripology ruler more than my accuquilt!
@@terriflanigan942I l9ve using the hand weights - to hold the long ruler when I cut and also when I am squaring up my quilts.
Love it!!😍
Oh that would be a hard choice for me😆♥️
😊♥️
My favorite duo is a 28mm rotary cutter and swivel mat for trimming and traveling.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Someone else mentioned I might like the 28 mm for the small blocks. I’ll check it out.
My Rowena travel iron is my favorite iron. I love that you make 1.5 inch HSTs. Adorable.
♥️😊. Thank you!
I'm currently trimming 1.5" HSTs with my 6.5" Blockloc. I'm trying to minimise the number of rulers I buy, but I can definitely see that the 1.5'" Blockloc with a tiny mat would speed up my process. And it's cute!
Yes. I forget to mention that the big block will trim all the sizes because I use the small one so often! Thanks for the reminder!
Hello Beautiful!😍 I just watched Merry Mabel Market making a “Donut” quilt. When she does her stitch and flip corners she makes the tiny HST’s with the extra corners.

I'll check that video out it’s on my watch page but I haven’t yet 😊. 12 bucks. What a deal that’s awesome!!
Wow! I don't think I would ever actively use 1.5 inch blocks certainly not enough to create a whole quilt! I have never seen a sandpaper mat...I am intrigued ❤

I bought that small mat at Dollar Tree, it works great and I also love Sewline marking tools have used them for years.
Good to know! Thanks so much!
You had me at Shemar. I used to watch him with my grandma on YR back in the day. Age has just made him better. 😂
Yum right!? 🥰😆♥️
I cannot love my bloc loc rulers more! But the best thing: I have a reallly old tv tray that has a small lip on the edges, my omnigrid flip mat fits perfectly inside this lip! I take that old tv tray to retreats, put it next to me, and I can cut or press without having to get up!!
That’s awesome! 😎 ♥️
I miss your purple hair! The block lock tool looks very helpful, I will look for it in the sizes that I use. I always enjoy your videos. You’re practical with a tiny edge, my style, too!
Thanks so much! I miss the purple hair too. I haven’t found anyone in Texas who can do what I like but I’m still looking. 🤷🏻♀️😆😊
@amydement. If you dont mind traveling to New Braunfels, Katie at The Color Bar is a wiz at fantasy hair
New braunfels is much closer than flying back to Atlanta! Thanks so much for the referral!!!
Sand paper --- great idea. I am glad to see you and going.
🎶💐💖🫂
Thanks so much 😊
Yes Shemar!!!
Yes indeed!!! 🥰😆♥️
You mean spotify and car play? lol I guess you could name your playlist mixed tape. Love that little Bloc Loc; I need to get one of those. Have a wonderful week.
Yes and yes 😊♥️
❤❤❤
♥️
1 1/2” blocks not in my vocabulary lol!
Mine neither.
I totally understand! 😆
♥️
Me neither! Too.Dang.Small
😆
I'm not a fan of Frixon pens either. I don't like that they don't completely disappear and i don't like the way they drag on the fabric leaving an erratic line.
Exactly!!! 😊♥️
Freezer paper and a printer. 😊
Yes! Great pair! Thanks for sharing.
Once the large cuttingmat is going in the garbage cut out the size You prefer from a piece that is not worn 😂
That’s a great tip! Especially since the use case is just for cutting and not measuring. Thanks for sharing!!
I don’t know the jingle
