Each quilter has a different personality that is transparent in their quilting. Your color schemes are beautifully rich looking, plus your unique patterns that are uncomplicated just illustrate what's inside of you. True beauty. Thank you for sharing your methods, skills, and love of quilting. Like many people listed below, I love what you bring to the table! Awesome. :)

I know this is 10 years old, but just getting started and you may have changed my life! This is AWESOME! I would never have picked this because I thought it would be too fussy. I might actually go cut my first quilt piece! Up til now, I am just watching videos.

Susan McNeil,you are amazing.Your tutorial 5/10 minute quilt blocks are so beautiful. Will try one of them 😂,but nervous.These are different from quilts of old? Also current & simple.I noticed color combinations,making each quilt unique! 😲 Wow! I can learn from you! I didn't just want to jump into something without the knowledge of color/ fabric combination.Thank you Suzanne McNeil!

I have purchased a few of your quilt books including the twist and turn quilt book. I have just finished the quilt top to the "Twister" throw quilt using Moda "Through the Years" collection. Super super easy and very pretty even with using just the 2 colors of light and dark as I did. I'm waiting on my backing and batting to start hand quilting. Thank you for your awesome work. God bless.

I just love your smile I can see the passion you have in every pattern. I am a beginner and would love your books. My mind is going round and round thinking of how I can do them and cover my beds with all newly made quilts. I love to sew. Thank you for sharing.

designs & color combo is so modern & bright! this way of piecing seems so easy & fun I'll do it for the many thinner 5" fabric squares I have! glad I saw this!!!

Tutti fruitti and the others could almost mimic crocheted granny afghan squares - remember those? Just add a black border around each square. Heck of a lot faster than crocheting and changing colors. Took me along time to do that 40 years ago; not sure I could do it again! What a great quick lesson. Thank you :)

I am brand new to the quilt world and I just tried your 10 Minute Blocks technique. I ordered the book a couple of days ago but couldn’t wait to try it. The first block took me about 45 minutes! I had to turn my iPad upside down and stop and start the vid to get the placement right. Hope to get better and faster: I LOVE the look! Thanks for the tute~

I use this alot, love it, Suggestion if you take 3 prints or solids and 2 background you can make a perfect bow tie. Just make sure the blocks are the same color for the ends and the center. Just lay out the 4 squares with `1 solid 1 print on top and on bottom opposite colors. Makes prefect bow tie.
@lainiehill595911 жыл бұрын
I have found that using a 1/4 inch seam on the general construction is great & then when sewing together the pieces where you have to work in the center pocket ; use a scant 1/4 inch seam, because it is less likely to "catch" the pocket fabric making a pucker in your diamond which really will tic you off!! I can get it down to 8 minutes without messing up the middle. ( using the scant 1/4 inch seam) My friend tried it too & she agreed.

@pugluverr Most of the quilts I make with this process are 10" squares. That is because I use the Layer Cake Collection of squares from Moda Fabrics. I also use the 5" squares from their Charm Collection. As long as all the blocks are the same size they can be any measurement. Happy quilting!

Looks easy enough, however I am very on hands I need to be able to it demonstrated at a reasonable pace and then I have no problem duplicating. This will tell me if I will enjoy Quilting as a craft I am willing to dedicate all my new spent time to. I am savvy in Cake deco, Sewing, Art & Crafts, scrapping and many other projects. I hesitate to invest in a lot of money if I cannot handle the more intricate patterns beyond the very basics.

Thank you and love the quilt designs. I do think it would be very helpful if you did take each step at first a little slower and show the steps. Very confusing for first time-new quilters and from some of the comments, even for more experienced. Only saying this because tutorials as SO very helpful, and appreciate your doing them. I have 10-Block book 1 and 2 and want to purchase the Twist and Turn. Thank you
