What a beautiful quilt. I am impressed with the different ways you can place your blocks to get such unique quilts. Thank you Laura for a wonderful tutorial.
Another great tutorial Laura! I'm always looking for ideas for quilt layouts using my larger prints. This one is visually stunning AND seems pretty easy - my two favourite criteria! Thanks for taking the time to design, film, edit and post this video. ~Diana from Toronto
Laura, I love your videos. You have such a great way of explaining every thing, sew very easy to follow... LOL. You also have such a great variety of items to show us. Thank you sew very much!
this is such a fun pattern! and Miss Laura- you are a true "Winter" - I doubt you are old enough to remember the book "Color Me Beautiful" but I saw quite a few demonstrations and was blown away how effective they were! Thanks for showing us this fun, and fast & easy project
Yes, you most definitely are. It shows best in the clothing you wear and the colors you choose for so many of your projects. I'm a frustrated Autumn- love to wear the "correct" colors, but still want my pinks and purples, so finally decided that now I'm retired I'll wear whatever strikes my mood!
Beauty, Beards, and Beer - ONLY because you have such beautiful hair, (and because lots of beer was included in this quilt), I hope you will get a chuckle out of this - my first glance at the picture on TH-cam, with you standing directly in front of the quilt, made it appear that you had a Mohawk hairstyle!! I was a bit distressed until I looked more closely.. (And NO, I hadn’t been drinking!!!). Lol! Thank you for the very clear, helpful, and professional videos. And you DO have beautiful hair!
I just LOVE your videos...easy to understand, well-lit, and you make the most challenging block/design look very simple. Much appreciated from a quilter who started in the 70s, and is now again sewing. Thanks!
Love the project and I may make this one. I calculated a different size for the finished quilt than 66.5" x 82.5" unfinished. I found it to be 63.5" x 78.5". If you have 15" finished blocks and 9" finished borders (2+3+4), that would be width of 15*3= 45 plus 9*2 = 18; total of 63" finished for width. For the length, 63+15 = 78" finished. I hope you don't feel like I'm correcting you, I'm just trying to make sure I got the measurements correct. I would also like to know the cut size of the larger corner squares.
I don't mind at all :) It is very easy to say one thing and mean another:) And yes you are correct about the size. and those corner squares are 9"square cut in half, so you need to squares per block. I will add that to the description, thanks for your help:)
Laura I love this quilt and the fabric. Could you please tell the name of the solids that you used. My son just bought a house and I would love to make this as a house warming gift. Thank you for a great tutorial.
SewVeryEasy can you do this with precuts? If so, would it be charm packs and layer cakes. I'm new to quilting and don't feel comfortable working with yardage.
My son had a good friend who recently passed away at 28, this quilt is totally him! I know it's no longer available, but I sure would like to get my hands on the novelty fabrics for a quilt for his parents. Does anyone here have any recommendations for where to find the beer and beards fabrics? I can find the deer heads still, but no enough of the beards and no bottles. Thank you!
I know you made this quilt long ago. hoping you can answer my question. What size is the second set squares that you cut into triangles . Is it 11 inches? at 5.3 on your video .
This is a great quilt-can't wait to make it with novelty prints for Project Linus. I think you may answered this in response to tea quilts but to be sure: the last set of triangles, what size are they? You indicated the first set come from 5" squares cut in half, but I did not hear the information for the outside sets. Your videos are always great - thanks for making them and sharing great ideas and projects!
I am so confused! Normally your instructions are *ahem* so very easy but this one confused me. Are there written directions somewhere so I can figure it out? Love the project...I mean who doesn't love beards & beer. I just struggled with understanding. I'm not a novice quilter, nor am I a master...somewhere in between. Love all your projects and can't wait to try many of them. Thanks so much!
I have looked everywhere for the Beard material. Would you mind telling me what fabric store you bought this at? Thank you so much. I’m making this quilt for my son. Love your videos!!!!
She didn't say the size of triangles for the outside of the block before sewing all blocks together. Does anyone know? Was it a 10-inch square cut in half?
I just love this project. We do not have the fat quarters down here, but what type of material would you recommend for it? Thanks for sharing. Love, love, love it. Beautiful.
This would work great for my son-in-law and daughter! The size you made is about a twin size isn't it? I'm trying to figure out how much fabric to get for a king size quilt.
OK the way I figure is you will need 1yd of each of the dark grays and the light. Red 2.5yds, black 3 yds, the heads, bottle and light grey 2yds. You need to make the quilt 6x6 which gives you 108" square, Add one more border on and you are good to go. A king batting is 120" sq. Please know that I have not tested those amounts out just doing some math.Hope that helps:)
Good morning Laura! I have a question please, I am free motion quilting on a baby quilt and the thread keeps shredding. I did change to a new needle before hand. This the Coat &Clark brand that I am having problems with. What brand do you suggest I use for machine quilting?
What a beautiful quilt. I am impressed with the different ways you can place your blocks to get such unique quilts. Thank you Laura for a wonderful tutorial.
Another great tutorial Laura! I'm always looking for ideas for quilt layouts using my larger prints. This one is visually stunning AND seems pretty easy - my two favourite criteria! Thanks for taking the time to design, film, edit and post this video. ~Diana from Toronto
Thank you very much, and thank you for watching :)
I love the shadows and this would be a great quilt to use an embroidery pattern in the middle. I’m thinking steam punk!
Laura, I love your videos. You have such a great way of explaining every thing, sew very easy to follow... LOL. You also have such a great variety of items to show us. Thank you sew very much!
I love to search out new/old fun things:)
Love this quilt for using feature fabrics, thank you!
A great quilt. I love the novelty fabric!! I have used the deer fabric in a rag quilt. Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks and thanks for watching
I love the block and all that you can do with the layout! Thanks for sharing it with us😊
Thanks Tina :)
As always Laura its beautiful!!!!! Love the colors, my favorites!!!
Thanks
You are most welcome, it's true!!!!!!
I appreciate your very clear instructions. 🌷🙋♀️
this is such a fun pattern! and Miss Laura- you are a true "Winter" - I doubt you are old enough to remember the book "Color Me Beautiful" but I saw quite a few demonstrations and was blown away how effective they were! Thanks for showing us this fun, and fast & easy project
I believe that was a "what colours look best on you" book! I never did figure out my colour...so I'm a winter! thanks:)
Yes, you most definitely are. It shows best in the clothing you wear and the colors you choose for so many of your projects. I'm a frustrated Autumn- love to wear the "correct" colors, but still want my pinks and purples, so finally decided that now I'm retired I'll wear whatever strikes my mood!
Thanks for the demonstration on the different layout possibilities. Great instruction as always!
Glad you liked that part!
Thank you again Laura for a great tutorial. I like the fact that you share tutorials that allow us to use that fabric we may be hesitant to cut.
I know somethings it is hard to cut them up!
Beauty, Beards, and Beer - ONLY because you have such beautiful hair, (and because lots of beer was included in this quilt), I hope you will get a chuckle out of this - my first glance at the picture on TH-cam, with you standing directly in front of the quilt, made it appear that you had a Mohawk hairstyle!! I was a bit distressed until I looked more closely.. (And NO, I hadn’t been drinking!!!). Lol! Thank you for the very clear, helpful, and professional videos. And you DO have beautiful hair!
oh my goodness...you are right, when I looked again...yes It does look like I have a Mohawk! what a hoot lollolololol thanks for the laugh
Cute, Funny, Whimsical quilt!!! Luuove it :)
thanks:)
I just LOVE your videos...easy to understand, well-lit, and you make the most challenging block/design look very simple. Much appreciated from a quilter who started in the 70s, and is now again sewing. Thanks!
Thanks and thanks you for watching :)
What a fun quilt, I can see a few guys being very happy to sleep under that quilt!
with dreams of beer!
Omg I needed a design for my 14 year old son who reminded he is not eleven when I chose the fabric. This is perfect thank you!! Liked and subscribed
I always love your fabric selections. Thank you Laura.
Love this pattern, quick, easy and a great tip for directional borders! Thank you so much for sharing!
Glad you like it:)
Great video Laura! Adding this to my list of projects. Will make a great quilt for my son. Thank you. Cheers, Chris
If I remember...you are getting quite a list! Thanks Chris
Well you shouldn't give me all these ideas..... Just have to save up to buy the fabrics. Thanks again, Chris

Thanks,It is an oldie but I do love the colours :)
fantastic quilt compared with excellent explanation - this will be my next project. thank you laura
Thanks and thanks you for watching :)
SewVeryEasy n
Enjoyed watching you make this one...and I wondered just how easy it was to say Beards and Beer at the end...thanks for the chuckle!
Which means you watched right to the end! You do not what to know how many times it took me! lol
Very cute. Great idea for that fabric you just can't cut.
That was my thought too:)
Love this. You do the BEST videos!
thanks:)
I like the dark because it looks like a heart.
What a great manly quilt!
my new favorite. you are awesome
Thanks and thank you for watching :)
This is an awesome quilt! Wish I had done this one instead of the one I'm doing for my youngest son! Much easier!!
That is always the way!
Love this. I have some Chop It like It’s Hot fabric but will need to add to it . I may pick up more yardage as you suggest.
Great block.
thanks
Adorable pattern!
Thanks

Sorry I do not have it written, Try one block out of scrap fabric. It will make sense as you go along:)
SewVeryEasy thank you so much!
I have looked everywhere for the Beard material. Would you mind telling me what fabric store you bought this at? Thank you so much. I’m making this quilt for my son. Love your videos!!!!
thank you!
sorry about that, and thanks for asking:)
She didn't say the size of triangles for the outside of the block before sewing all blocks together. Does anyone know? Was it a 10-inch square cut in half?
How cute
Thanks :)
I love it! Do you have a pattern I can get or buy?
Thank you Laura
What size is your corners before you cut them in the diagonal
I'm making it now and did mine 9"
Great pattern, yes for novelty fabrics, what size square did you cut for the outside larger corner triangles
they were 9" cut in half, so you need to sq per block, thanks:)
Thanks for the info, I really do like that idea a good one for project smile
I just love this project. We do not have the fat quarters down here, but what type of material would you recommend for it? Thanks for sharing. Love, love, love it. Beautiful.
Oh you can use any large print fabric and it would look great
Thank you so much. I appreciate the info very much.
love it
thanks
If I’m starting out with a smaller center block, how much smaller should I make the triangles? Thank you! I love your videos!
here is a video that might help you with that , thanks for asking th-cam.com/video/colgqmuOzX8/w-d-xo.html
Hi laura, love this fabric. Wanna ask you question what size of huge block?
the block is 15 1/2"
Love the design. Excellent tutorial and super fun fabric. Where did you find the fabric?
Woops...thank you
It was a few moths ago!
This would work great for my son-in-law and daughter! The size you made is about a twin size isn't it? I'm trying to figure out how much fabric to get for a king size quilt.
A lot. LOL.

Do you have the pattern for this quilt?
Good morning Laura!
I have a question please, I am free motion quilting on a baby quilt and the thread keeps shredding. I did change to a new needle before hand. This the Coat &Clark brand that I am having problems with. What brand do you suggest I use for machine quilting?
.superiorthreads.com/education/thread-shredding/ have info about thread shredding, most common is the eye of the needle is too small.
eileenfb1948 Oh, wow! thanks for the information ,I will go look it up!
I hope you were able to get that answered, and that link that eileenfb1948 gave you is great!
SewVeryEasy I sure did! thanks!
nice :)
Thanks
Thanks Laura - for some reason that description didn't come up on my iphone.
You are very welcome:)
What size are the large triangles please?
sorry about that 9" cut in half:)
is there a pattern for this quilt
No not at this time, just the video:)
Where can I get the pattern
I only have the video at this time:)
Love the quilt design but there’s a whooooooolllllle lot of annoying hand movements
