After airing this video-I learned that the technique I use in this video (the part where I cut the X with scissors) may or may not be Karin Hellaby's scissor technique. I cannot confirm 100%. If it is her technique then I want to make sure I give her full credit for that part of the video✅

We LOVE your channel! Pretty much watched all of your videos 🤗👍❤️

[@nanette7fl]

I've always wanted to try this block pattern. Thanks to you and making it easy, I definitely make one. Thank you

[@chi2tan]

OMG!! 1st time I saw this technique!😮😮😮😮

[@claireryan8074]

I have been making veterans’ lap quilts with this technique. Love how they turn out.

[@AnitaSouthall]

It's genius 🙌 There's no reason why you couldn't do multiple blocks to a manageable size each, then do a QAYG technique and have a four patch or nine patch etc. Have the same focal first square and change the rest to mix it up and use your stash. It would then be easier to both quilt and manage the bigger size issue. Especially if like me the floor is not an option

[@TheSewingChannel]

It turned out way better than I thought it would Anita💙Have a happy quilting week💙

[@katiedillon5993]

Yes Anita! I have made beautiful pot holders and table runners with this method.Just finished a blanket with 6 inch blocks.

[@vickiserre9457]

I did your idea with my blocks around 24”” sq, QAUG 3X4 rows with 2 1/2” sashing then finished with a QAUG attached border. It looks great and was very fun.

[@katiedillon5993]

It's a game changer 😂😂 They look so good!!

I love this idea, my kind of block ❤️😁

[@TheSewingChannel]

Glad it was helpful Susan!💙

[@robinaanstey3734]

** Tip**. Cut a tiny slit in your fabric BEFORE you sew it to your block...makes it a lot easier to cut once its been sewn. TY for your beautiful tutorial. I make these on a smaller scale for mug mats, pot holders etc. Cheers from stinking HOT Florida 🙂

[@TheSewingChannel]

Great idea Robina✅ Cheers from semi hot/cool north east Ohio LOL✅💛

[@flameshakk670]

Awesome technique sis!!🤗🥰

[@DF-gu5nn]

Tracie, I'm thinking about your arthritic hands and something you may want to try with this block. Draw the X on your fabric first and fold the square into a triangle and where the X intersects cut a slight snip in the fabric at the X. Then put your fabrics right sides together, sew a 1/4" seam allowance all the way around the square. You will have that little slit premade and you won't have to use a seam ripper anymore and you won't have to worry about possibly poking into the layer below or ripping your opening wonky. Give it a try, I think you may find it helpful for you. ❤❤

[@TheSewingChannel]

Great idea!!!

[@DF-gu5nn]

@@TheSewingChannel Thank you. I actually tried it awhile back making that little snip into the fabric when it's folded into a triangle then flaten it back out. It works for me. I've actually made many of these now and I make them several sizes, like you said, pot holders, placemats, table runners, all kinds of things. It's a great hack. Please keep sharing, I learn so much from you! ❤❤

[@beverlyakins2374]

This is FABULOUS Tracy 🥰 Absolutely love it 🥰 And if anyone comments on the ‘points’ then they don’t deserve this quilt!!! Thanks for sharing 👍 🇬🇧

[@Wanda6308]

All thought this block is very interesting and I definitely want to make it, I myself would stop at 11 + size and make several blocks at that size and add sashing in between the blocks. But that is my choice. You did a great job on yours and I appreciate you taking the time to share this

[@TheSewingChannel]

Great ideas Wanda✅

[@monicabermea7652]

I love it!! 💖

[@SewtheDistance]

Love this technique! I tried this a few years ago but never to make a complete quilt top. This would make a darling baby quilt or even a really fast quilt to use to decorate for the holidays. Great tip on the seam ripper to get it started. Thanks, Tracy! ❤️❤️❤️

[@TheSewingChannel]

It's a fast make for sure Kris!!!!!💙 Great idea for a quick holiday quilt✅

[@sweetcake405]

love the holiday idea

[@nanashouse202]

I often wondered how a quilt like this would look if I carried ion to the size square needed. Thank you!

Love the technique it's amazing. A very good watch in deed. I have subscribed thank you

[@TheSewingChannel]

Awesome, thank you! Welcome to The Sewing Channel Ange💛

[@tracycrosley4828]

A quick suggestion. Try putting a stitch through the center square and through each subsequent square. Then you have threads to help you pull the squares apart before cutting.

[@TheSewingChannel]

That's a great idea!

[@GIIG21]

I just have to try this, love it 😀

[@TheSewingChannel]

You absolutely should!✅

[@dorothywarren426]

I love it! I will try it.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Have fun with it Dorothy💙

[@nancy9478]

Wow, that looks so easy for a novice like me, thank you! I may try this as a rag quilt. What a perfect project using thrifted sheets and scraps to practice on.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Great idea using sheets Nancy✅

[@gigiontube]

Tip to do this easier: First: draw the cross on the square to be cut. Second: cut 1/2 way from the center toward corners only on one diagonal, not both. Third: sew the two pieces together as in video. Forth: complete cutting on diagonals as in video. But the cutting will be much easier since there is a hole now to insert the scissors. Repeat the steps as in video to achieve the desired size. Hope you find this useful.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Thank you for the tips✅

[@catherineeddy9045]

I do it the same way. I find it much easier

I have made three throw sized quilts using this technique but I kept the blocks small. Once assembled, it resembled a pineapple quilt. Such a fun pattern! Thanks for showing a different variation. I love it!

[@TheSewingChannel]

You're welcome Janice!💙Have a great quilting week!

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

I viewed this method in a sewing hack video not very long ago. On one of my visits to her shop, I told my friend Janet about it; and, she decided to give it a try while I was sitting with her. It worked beautifully for her. You don't notice that the points are not there. As you just showed us, this is a fast way to make a beautiful quilt top. Thank you.

[@TheSewingChannel]

I was amazed how well it worked for a whole quilt top Arvetta....and soooo fast too!!!💙

[@luannbrown1282]

I love it! I want to try it! Love the nautical theme!

[@TheSewingChannel]

Awesome Brenna! This is a fun one!💙

[@Brandi62]

I thought it was the exploding block? Does it have two names?

[@TheSewingChannel]

Quilt blocks take on several different names over time 🤷🏻‍♀️ some even call this “the economy block”✅

[@anyafairlight]

I watched the video last night. I had to try this out as soon as I got up this morning. It is so much fun!

Such a really cool quick quilt!😃. I can’t wait to try one🤗. I think it would really be a great scrap buster, maybe stop at 12-14” size and just make a bunch of blocks to join together 😏. Thanks for yet another terrific idea🤩
