**CORRECTION** Thank you to a sharp eyed viewer for catching an error. For the Sawtooth Star block you should cut 8 three inch squares NOT 4.

Thank you I understand your frustration,,,love all you teach us and looking forward to your next quilt along, or block of the month , I quilted along on your last mystery quilt and mine is ready to be quilted, just waiting on my quilting machine to be fixed its at the spa as they say , was trying to learn ruler quilting and hit the ruler !!!🤯🤪😭 I think I'll stick with free motion quilting. Love all you do, May God Bless you and yours.

[@CreatewithClaudia]

Oh no - I hope it gets fixed soon. It's never any fun when machines are away for some tlc. Thanks for watching!

[@DK-hv1gt]

Claudia, what a treat you are and thank you for sharing. You are teaching me so much and I'm delighted to learn the techniques.

I just discovered you, I think you are phenomenal! Keep making these videos, Thank you so much for your inspiration.

[@CreatewithClaudia]

You are very kind. Thank you so much and welcome to my channel.

[@pegasusquilts]

Claudia, I like your videos so much I had to pause in the middle--I couldn't wait to tell you. I like that you don't not cut out your ums, if a step takes a little long, if there are choices. I've been quilting for 30 years and have taught quilting too, but I get a new tip I didn't know or had forgotten every time.

[@CreatewithClaudia]

Thank you so much. That was so nice of you to say. 🤗

[@idareandevers9211]

I love each one of the blocks with simple directions, I will be trying these blocks. Thanks❤

[@CreatewithClaudia]

Oh I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!

[@redgingerbreadpam]

Came by to see these. Love them. I think I need to try the economy block...brand new beginner. Although I've always sewed.

[@CreatewithClaudia]

I hope you give it a try. Thanks for watching!

[@nancygreenwald3077]

Really great video. Thank you. I appreciate how you didnt make us watch you sew, and sew, and sew............

[@CreatewithClaudia]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for stopping by! I'm getting ready to film another one of these with more complicated blocks.

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

Hello! I hope you had a wonderful day! I had another busy day in my sewing room getting something ready for filming on Easter Monday. Now I get to sit and relax and watch you while I hand quilt! I hope you have a Happy Easter weekend and a beautiful week ahead! Thank you for posting this video and your time to make this for all of us to enjoy!

[@CreatewithClaudia]

Enjoy your weekend and thanks for always watching!

[@DK-hv1gt]

Claudia, you are amazing! So glad I found you! Sure do like all 7 of these and good to know how to make them. Thanks.

[@CreatewithClaudia]

Glad you like them! It is definitely fun to fussy cut!

[@mrgarner4796]

This is an awesome tutorial. Thank you.

[@CreatewithClaudia]

Thank you. I appreciate it. It is fun to fussy cut.

[@elainebukowsky9187]

Thanks. This video inspired me to dream a new quilt idea with some fabric I have. Never done fussy cutting, but I will be soon.

[@CreatewithClaudia]

That’s awesome! Thanks for letting me know and have fun fussy cutting.

[@IRISHLASS273]

Claudia, great info. Don't like the churn dash block but when you made the Greek Cross I couldn't believe the difference. Please would you tell me how big the pieces need to be for a 12 1/2" unfinished economy block. I've seen a few tutorials but they were confusing and as a self taught quilter I need help. Thanks!

[@CreatewithClaudia]

I love that Greek Cross too and it's kind of amazing that just a quick flip makes such a difference. Try these measurements for the 12 1/2" economy block...One 6 1/2" square, Two 5 1/2" squares cut 1 time on the diagonal and Two 7 1/4" squares cut 1 time on the diagonal. Good luck.

[@tashadennis2922]

Great lesson!

[@CreatewithClaudia]

Thanks so much!

[@gloriacarrillo9184]

Buenos dias graciaslos las explicaciones son muy faciles de entender. Desde Caracas Venezuela Gloria

[@CreatewithClaudia]

Thank you! I'm glad you watched!

[@vaniawhitfield6486]

Awesome

[@CreatewithClaudia]

Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

I have done fussy cutting in the past; but, that was for Stack and Whack. I was looking at some new prints last Sunday. Mickey and Minnie Mouse would be cute on a child's quilt, or ever on an adult's quilt (because I have always loved Mickey Mouse).

[@CreatewithClaudia]

Oh that sounds like it would be a fun quilt! I hope you give one or more of these blocks. Thanks for the comment!

[@melissaojala2295]

I love how you make your quilt and I'm learning so much from your chanle and I love the quilt. And do you have any free download pattern s for them. And have a wonderful day 😃

[@CreatewithClaudia]

Thanks so much for watching. I have a lot of free patterns on my website. www.createwithclaudia.com/

[@heatherrj9980]

I got some really pretty fabric ideal for fussy cutting. Your video is helpful! I decided on the sawtooth star with the 5 1/2 inch center and alternating with a sawtooth star with a modified 5 1/2" 9-patch in the center which has a 3 inch fussy center square.

[@CreatewithClaudia]

I’m glad my video was helpful. Have fun making your blocks. Thanks for watching!

[@pegasusquilts]

Fussy cutting can also be super helpful for English Paper piecing, especially if you are trying for a kaleidoscope effect where pieces meet, (each piece of the quilt in exactly the right part of the motif, to get the mirror effect.)

[@CreatewithClaudia]

Great tip. I do enjoy fussy cutting. Thanks!

[@robinhewitt8251]

Hope your camera starts working correctly lol. May the rest of your day go better 🙏

[@CreatewithClaudia]

Me too! It was driving me crazy so I took a break today but I’ll check it out tomorrow. Thanks for watching!

[@marquesn77]

Thank you so much for this video, my best friend gifted me some curated fat quarters and one has these beautiful long horn skulls on them with flowers that I absolutely want to feature in a quilt, any one of these patterns would be perfect ! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@CreatewithClaudia]

Fun. Let me know which one you decide to make. Thanks for watching!

[@Friendly946]

I'm confused on the sawtooth star on how you do flying geese on all four rectangles yet the pattern call for only 4 squares 3x3? Would this not take 8 if you use 2 on each rectangle @? Or did I miss something lol. Love the videos

[@CreatewithClaudia]

Hi Donna - I had to think about your question for a couple of days. I re-watched the video and all I can say is GOOD CATCH! I will post a correction comment. It should be 8 squares like you said. I was having so many problems with this video when I made it and this is just another one to add to the list. Ugh! Thank you so much for asking the question. I really appreciate it. Have a great day!

[@Friendly946]

@@CreatewithClaudia thank you so much. I didn’t want to sound rude or anything and since I am new to quilting, I thought I was just a bit off on my calculations trying to figure it out ha ha So glad you set me straight. Thanks again

[@CreatewithClaudia]

I always appreciate when someone points something out that might be wrong. Sometimes I start talking and filming and I say the wrong thing without realizing it. Thanks again and have a great weekend!

[@peggymacmichael9788]

Ty so much

[@CreatewithClaudia]

Thanks so much for watching and Happy New Year!

[@margagarciafernandez9079]

La veo desde España y me encanta su trabajo , que pena no lo traduzcan al español.Gracias

[@CreatewithClaudia]

Thanks for watching!

[@leannemori9688]

Thank you. Why is the obe block called "economy block"? What makes it economy?

[@CreatewithClaudia]

Good question. I don’t know why it’s called that. It’s an old block. Thanks for watching!

[@kschallert3569]

Wonderful tutorial! The only thing is I was so excited to see the finished blocks but every time you show it your hands are all over it.

[@CreatewithClaudia]

Noted! I never realized I did that in this video. Here’s a link to my companion blog post. www.createwithclaudia.com/2022/04/how-to-fussy-cut-fabric-and-7-easy-quilt-blocks-that-are-ideal-for-it/ It has pictures of all of the finished blocks! Hope that helps! Thanks for watching anyway!

[@sheilawilliamson827]

do u square up the flying geese?

[@CreatewithClaudia]

Yes I do.

[@sheilawilliamson827]

didntu mean 8 instead of 4 for the fying geese?

[@tereciahunter6427]

Good job but your camera is too far away. Can't see close up on anything.

[@CreatewithClaudia]

Thanks for the suggestion and for watching.

[@cristinanobilio6567]

Ma perché non parla un po' meno? È decisamente troppo!
