I love how honest you are regarding those little boo-boos we all make. You could very easily - almost easily - remake your blocks and we would be none the wiser but you are so upfront about being as human as the rest of us. Thanks for sharing that part of yourself.
I only recently discovered your channel so I'm super late to this party, but ho ho! I love your sense of humor about the new block you accidentally invented, and I love the "Road to Megan's House!"
Good morning Megan, My name is Chris and I am one of your new subscribers. You are so charming and real and I love your honesty and frankness. I love your patterns and the way you describe what you’re doing in your videos, I find that very helpful. I cannot wait to make your Minerva pattern.. i Love it!! I find it difficult to choose which to make first! I am relatively new to quilting (almost 1 & 1/2 years). After 20 something, I have lost track of how many quilts I’ve made as I have given most of them away.. One major regret: I did not take a photo of each quilt, ugh... 😩 Well, I just thought I would introduce myself to you and please know I will be watching as I became an immediate Fan of Your Work!! 💜👍👏 Thank you for sharing. Stay Safe and God Bless, 💖 Chris-Raleigh NC
"Not the Road to Oklahoma" (haha) is what I would call it! I'm not as knowledgeable about the various quilt blocks, so I would never have known it was off. Good one, though!
I like the "Road to Megan's House" block better than the original -- it's not a "mistake" -- It's a new creation! Thank you for providing both patterns. PS: I have the same "excessively large rotary cutter" and absolutely love it, much easier to use with my arthritis.
I'm a recent subscriber and love your videos! You explain things so well and are... well... just frank! You asked for suggestions for block study... I'm not sure what sort of blocks you are looking for but perhaps snail trail would be good? It's a pretty easy block but put together in a top, it looks much more complicated. Thanks for your videos!
That sounds fun! I’ve never made a snail trail block!! I’ll play around with that one :). And thank you! I really try to be honest and upfront in my videos :)
@@TinyOrchardQuilts BTW I was at a mystery quilt retreat. I assembled one of the blocks wrong but didn't realize it until I was done with the stack. I decided to leave it until I could see where it fit in the reveal. It worked fine and I left it - and the quilt turned out great! I love that you kept the original video and didn't toss it and re-do it :-)
Leaving Oklahoma Block? I really like your version. It looks fresh and new, even though it’s a very old pattern. Great job!! And, thanks for celebrating your misstep, instead of just showing us the ‘perfect’ version. Makes the whole quilting thing less scary.
I really debated what to do with this video right when I found out but I really wanted to share my “mistake” since it happens. I even did it on a show quilt once 😂
Hilarious! I will try this "road to Megan' s house" block. For a suggestion how about crazy ann quilt block. I would love a tutorial that I don't need to buy a special ruler for. I have been binge watching, great content!
I enjoyed your tutorial. Love your personalization to the naming of this block. And the way you twisted your mishap to a brilliant block. Thank you for sharing.
I loved the rename of the traditional block since you made it more modern. 😀 I’m going to suggest the Mexican Star block but I know it’s not that beginner friendly. I’d like to see that in more quilts. 🤔
My mom was a knitter and sewer all her life. When she “strayed” from a pattern she would always refer to the “new version” as a “one of a kind” or an original.
You are so cute & sweet. I live in Oklahoma right near the Red River TX/OK boarder. So in truth sometimes if we ever get rain here it is Oklahoma-ish if that makes you feel any better! LoL 😂
You are awesome!!! I LOVE that you can admit to your mistakes and keep them for the entire world to see and the most important.....being able to laugh at yourself!! I look forward to your videos!!! THANK YOU for your tutorials AND your free patterns. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 BTW, it’s a beautiful mistake! I love the quilt (the road to meagans house)!
@@TinyOrchardQuilts as do i!! I finally taught myself how to laugh or slough off my mistakes!! Woohoo!!! Some of the most beautiful things were out of a “mistake”
Moda is posting free quiltblocks for breast cancer awareness starting in oct. Would you be interested in doing a tutorial on them or some of them. Fat quarter shop is doing the quilt kit but one can use any colors. I am trying to find someone who is doing the tutorials and no one so far.
There is a link in the description below the video or you can also go directly to my website tinyorchardquilts.com and there is a section there just for the block study downloads. :)
I was in a group doing blocks every month, and I sewed my blocks the same as you! Easy mistake, but I did go back and make another correct Road to Oklahoma.
Lol. You read my mind. I filmed an entire bear paw quit tutorial a few months back and somehow didn’t record any audio. I’ve been thinking about how to redo it for a while and a block study would be perfect!
@@TinyOrchardQuilts That would be awesome. I am really looking forward to it! I've had a quilt in mind for years now but can't do it until I can master that block.
Love the Road to Megan's House block. Full disclosure - I am the mother of a Meaghan so it appealed to me lol! Great tutorial. I won't become a full-time press-your-seams-open person but I will definitely use the technique in certain circumstances. Thanks 😊
I really like the Road to Megan's house. I have quilts to make for a couple of weddings this fall and maybe this would be the perfect quilt top for one of them. Thanks for the great tutorial!!
@@TinyOrchardQuilts I have actually watched that video before but wanted to watch it again as I am from Oklahoma and have never made the “ Road to Oklahoma “ block and remembered you had a video. I forgot all about the “mistake” and was delighted all over again. Watching your videos makes me feel like I’m spending time with a quilting friend.
Thank you for reminding us to not take everything so seriously. We can just enjoy the road we find ourselves on.
Rather than sleeping before a midnight shift, I’m rewatching your videos. It was definitely the lukewarm coffee that led you to Megan’s house!!!
I love how honest you are regarding those little boo-boos we all make. You could very easily - almost easily - remake your blocks and we would be none the wiser but you are so upfront about being as human as the rest of us. Thanks for sharing that part of yourself.
Thanks! I'm definitely far from perfect and make plenty of mistakes :). Its all part of the learning process.
My sisters name is maureen! :)
So funny, as Bob Ross says there are only Happy Accidents.
It’s true! Bob Ross is a legend.
Thank you so much. I not only learn new things, you make me laugh.
I like yours better. I think it is a little more modern. Great job!!
"the road to megan's house" haha I might just have to make it now because it made me laugh out loud. It looks awesome.
Beautiful thank you 🙏🏾 for sharing. God bless you and your family

Thank you so much Chris! What a sweet comment! I try to take pictures of everything but i know a few have escaped with them :)
A gorgeous quilt 🌸

Lol. I still can't believe I didn't see what I was doing until it was all done! 😂
You are so funny!! I love “The Road to Megan’s House” block 🧵✂️❤️
Thanks Sandra!!
Great voice- confident & reassuring. Thanks so much for sharing the mishaps! Beautiful blocks & quilt tops
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Love this block!
Me too! It’s so simple but gives such a great effect. Glad you enjoyed!
Detour from Oklahoma!
Love it!
The road to Megan's house 🤣🤣🤣 this actually made me lol
Lol. I’m glad! It made me laugh too-after the initial shock passes 😂
I made a large block a long time ago. I called it “Patti’s Boo Boo” - thanks for the tips and the patterns!!
That’s hilarious! And you are very welcome.
The road Back from Oklahoma. Lol
Lol. That’s classic.
Jenny Grus. Lol, exactly what I thought. Road FROM Oklahoma.
Thank you for having fun with the mistakes love it
Thanks! I’m glad I left the mistakes in-it’s my true quilting life 😂

I love both settings. Thank you for the video and free pattern!

A true quilters mistake. :) mistakes are design opportunities

You are so cute! I love the new block!
Aww, thanks! There will be a new one Monday :)
I enjoyed your tutorial. Love your personalization to the naming of this block. And the way you twisted your mishap to a brilliant block. Thank you for sharing.
Oh my, where did you get the fabric from? My friend just asked for a zodiac/constellations theme quilt, and those fabrics would be great.
thank you your great with instruction my problem is cutting square. any cut always or wanky, WHY
I loved the rename of the traditional block since you made it more modern. 😀 I’m going to suggest the Mexican Star block but I know it’s not that beginner friendly. I’d like to see that in more quilts. 🤔
I’ll check that block out! I’ve done a few simple blocks now so maybe something more adventurous is due! :)
Our daughter's name is Megan. have really enjoyed watching you.
I think this is absolutely genius! This is how new blocks are born and I love it ♥️

Megan- I love you!!! I have also done similar things! ❤️
Just made 27 blocks and realized they are wrong also.
Great video! Would love to see you cover the Missouri Star Block!

THANK YOU for your tutorials AND your free patterns. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 BTW, it’s a beautiful mistake! I love the quilt (the road to meagans house)!
Thank you!! I definitely make enough mistakes-not all of them even end up in the video. 😂😂. I’m so glad you like the videos :)

I appreciate that you didn’t try to cover up your mistake, and you just owned it. We all like a reminder that everyone is human.
My son repeatedly reminds me that even grown ups make mistakes sometimes! lol. Its a humbling but important lesson :)
I like the road to Megan's house!!!!
Beautiful!! This does look like it can be easily managed by a beginner such as myself. Thank you for all the additional tips 🥰
You are so welcome!
I like your version so much better! You totally need to get credit for this block. Maybe it should be called On The Road With Megan. 😁
Thank you! ❤️

Let me check into it! I'm not exactly sure how copyright issues would work here. :)
I love the road to Megan’s house!
Just saw this and in my head - this will be forever known as "The Road to Megan's House"!
Lol. I still can’t believe I did that. 😂
The road to ??? - Look at the road to Oklahoma on a map and pick a destination one might end up in if one makes a wrong turn. :-)
😂 it was definitely a wrong turn of sorts!
Love the garlic knot block
I love your "Road to Megan's" block. The way you explain the construction is so simple. I've recommended your videos to a friend!
The pattern does not download
Love your positive attitude, so real! Love that you embrace your " mistakes". Love both versions!
Thanks! I always try to be positive! Especially with things like this-it’s still a quilt :)
Does anyone else have trouble trying to download the pdf?
There is a link in the description below the video or you can also go directly to my website tinyorchardquilts.com and there is a section there just for the block study downloads. :)
Love the new block R2MH even better than R2OK! Very short seam, you must never unsew, lol. Love your video, new subscriber.
I try to never rip a seam unless I really have to! At the end of the day, it’s still a quilt!
Can you show how to make a Desert Flower block?
I’ll check into it!
I love it!❤️
I was in a group doing blocks every month, and I sewed my blocks the same as you! Easy mistake, but I did go back and make another correct Road to Oklahoma.
😂 I’m so glad I’m not the only one!
I'd love to see the bear paw block. I love the block but can't 'seam' to get it right
Lol. You read my mind. I filmed an entire bear paw quit tutorial a few months back and somehow didn’t record any audio. I’ve been thinking about how to redo it for a while and a block study would be perfect!
@@TinyOrchardQuilts That would be awesome. I am really looking forward to it! I've had a quilt in mind for years now but can't do it until I can master that block.
Love this. Thank you for all the great information. I enjoy them.
I love your Road to Megan'sHouse a lot!!!
I love this design you made and cool colors!! Thanks again for another pattern !
Thank you for watching :)
Your re-coloring of Road to Oklahoma is awesome! Don’t apologize one bit. You are giving quilters permission to change the design to good effect.
Lol. Thanks!!! And I’m all about customizing :) Sometimes intentionally even!
Sometimes these things lead to new! different!! exciting discoveries!! Good work done, so no regerts!
No regerts indeed! 😂 I still do love my big pickle quilt!
Love your block studies.
Thank you for all of your information.
I love your videos. I'm so glad I found you. lots of great info and tips plus I like your personality
Aww! Thank you so much! I’m so glad you are here :)
Gorgeous! I love it - thanks 😊

Thank you! It was certainly a funny moment when I realized what I’d done.
I really like the Road to Megan's house. I have quilts to make for a couple of weddings this fall and maybe this would be the perfect quilt top for one of them. Thanks for the great tutorial!!
Thank you! It was very quick to make, so it would be perfect for a gift quilt!
Your videos always make me smile. I can’t wait to make the “road to Megan’s house” block. You are real and blessing to watch
Thank you so much, Trey! I was actually just thinking of (finally) quilting that quilt tomorrow!
@@TinyOrchardQuilts I have actually watched that video before but wanted to watch it again as I am from Oklahoma and have never made the “ Road to Oklahoma “ block and remembered you had a video.

Love them both!!! 🙂
Thanks! I’m certainly not sad at all about my finished quilt top! It’s a great story.
Right! I printed my instructions and excited to make my next block. I have to finish binding one I just finished first.
