Precut 10" squares, or layer cakes, can be used for many quilting patterns. Sara shows how to make the Brick Work quilt pattern [www.shopfonsand...] by Jean Nolte. Learn how to cut the 10" squares into the required pieces, lay out those cut pieces for assembly, and sew the pieces together to create the quilt.
Sara, I love watching you on TV. Didn’t know you were on TH-cam! Great!
I love this use of layer cakes. I agree with previous commenters that details about what we need to make whatever size we want are missing. Jenny at Missouri Quilt says 1 layer cake makes a twin, so I'll use your pattern with her measurement.
Beginner Here!!! And your teaching style inspires me!! THANK YOU!!!!
Sara, I love the simplicity of your tutorials, perfect for a beginner; however, it would be nice to see the finished quilt top. Just saying . . .
This is a great quilt! I have a lot of 10 inch squares and no idea what to do with them. Thank you!
Very clever!
Love the quilt on wall.....show how to make that one
I too would like to see the quilt top,I’m a bit confused about lay out of smaller pieces.
Wonder ideas!
Please: Row is across the quilt, from 1 side to the other.
Column is down the quilt from top to bottom.
I think it would help orient new quilters to use the proper location terms, for best practice instructions.
Thanks.
Love it a Thank you
Does your sewing machine have a decrease in noise level when compared to other brands? I’m looking for a sewing machine: that’s quiet, metal parts, top loading bobbin, quilting designs, an extra table, top quality etc. thanks for you thoughts as I’m new to this.💜
I have just watched 10 episodes of your tutorial. What I can't find is the actual quilting part. I mean I can sew squares all day long, but how do you finish!
Angie Deborde, most quilt shows jut show how to make the quilt top. Other videos on TH-cam will show you how to baste your layers, quilt it and how to bind it. Or some TH-cam series may have special episodes with the other steps. Check out Missouri Quilt Company, Fat Quarter Shop, The Midnight Quilt show, searching for basting a quilt, quilting designs, and bind tutorials, as examples.
Call me silly, but the math doesn't seem to add up with using the 3 x 5" piece as it never comes out evenly at the bottom. You said that if you start with a 3", you must end with a 3". Likewise, if you start with a 10", you end with a 10". I laid it out on paper, and no way can I make it come together at the bottom no matter what length I calculate.
Can you please tell me what I missed?
You are CORRECT. The math does not end up with a square. I aligned all of the top edge and squared up the bottom. I also used several different solid 5"x5" squares. If you look closely at the beginning of the video you can see that the rows do not "match up" and are off a bit. Sara does not tell you that in the video. Hope this helps.
First very nice instructional part of the video....but it lacked pretty much in informing us about setting it up.or how many rows or how many bricks in a row??? If I were a first time quilter I would be overwhelmed.The website was of no good,.the picture was even different and to get the whole story I guess you have to buy the patternThanks to Jan-Mater W. for the additional information to help.finish this project...I am a bit disappointed that things are left unsaid. Other tutorials usually wrap it up so that you know how to finish them off. Jenny is really good about that
If using a whole layer cake, how long do you make the rows? Or did I miss something?
Hi Dana, Sara is specifically using the Brick Work pattern by Jean Nolte. www.shopfonsandporter.com/product/brick-work-digital-pattern/patterns The rows can be made longer or shorter depending on how wide you'd like your finished quilt to be.
Dana,
Depending on the size quilt you want will depend on the length and width of your quilt. If I was making a twin size quilt I'd make my width about 47 inches then add your first border about 2.5 inches and your second border about 5 inches finished. So you'd cut 3 inch strips for your first border and 5 and half inch strips for your second border this would give you about a 60 inch finished quilt width. I'd make my length about 65 inches taking into account your borders so add on 7 and a half. Anyway just keep adding rows until you get the desired size quilt you want. Jan Happy quilting

@@QNNtv As of 2020, that link (and indeed that website) no longer works...
why not just use 5" squares? gonna save time instead of cutting 10"...Plus I just used precut 2" squares...instead of rectangles, I used squares...was very pretty
DJ Shanas ho
The length of 10 inches cannot be obtained using 5 inch squares, as you have to consider the 1/4" seam allowance. Part of the design idea was to have short rectangles & longer rectangles.
