Folded Star Fun Project #7

[@lanafultz4988]

Thank you so much for your excellent instructions and taking the time to share it with us. I have made 6 of these in the square shape. I am saving them for birthdays coming up. Beautiful great gifts! Other instructor wanted me to buy something to make these. I did not want to do that. Its people like you that make the world a better place to live by your generosity.

[@bevhonsberger8590]

Thank you for this easier version of the Folded Star Hot Pad. I watched a few versions, and this is the best. To those who say they cannot hear it, turn up your volume; use earphones!

[@rjbrewer09]

You explained it very well… i watched other videos and was more discouraged than inspired. Thank you for the inspiration

[@cindymagee7546]

Thank you for clear, concise instructions in 10 minutes! Other videos were almost an hour!

[@CaleanWsh]

Thank you so much for such a simple teaching format!! Other quilting tutorials had you buying a "pattern" that isn't really needed!! Thanks you! Thank you!

[@TheMasquerade]

Glad it was helpful!

[@oakstrong1]

I was also put off by having to buy the pattern all the way from America and then having to keep buying them: at least one company promotion tutorial was sewing directly onto the pattern... (Yeah, makes it easier but also makes it stupid.) At least another promotional video they tell to copy the original - but I'm still not going to buy the postal fee for something that costs more than buying a pretty potholder from a shop.

[@ebriggs3498]

I would say “don’t knock the pattern.” Someone else just made a better mousetrap, and, sewing being their ‘career/job’ wants to be paid for their better idea. It may be more helpful for some people who have never made it before. To each his own!

[@joanhowland133]

Im a novice quilter and your directions are great. Thanks-you solved a christmas present problem for me

[@lindamyers3410]

Of all the videos on the star , you are the best. visual very good, quality of audio great, and your directions are spot on . Thank you

[@helenstamatelatos9034]

What a clear, well explained video!! I feel I can easily make this while watching. Thank you!!

[@sandracedar368]

Your colors and your demonstration make this look like it could be done so easily. My first visit here can’t wait to return! Thank you for sharing.🥰

[@brenda5511]

Very well done! I made this pattern many, many years ago (35+ years) and just couldn’t remember how to do it, so thanks for clear instructions!

[@ebriggs3498]

Thank you for showing the markings on the base and also folding and ironing the grid; I last made these over 30 years ago and have lost my pre-figured patterns. I knew there was an easier way of doing them that what all the other tutorials were showing!

[@sandramassey5673]

This is beautiful! Have seen this process before but your explanation is the first time it has made sense. Thank you so much for the tutorial. Am making aprons for my granddaughter at her request and these will be a nice addition along with some matching pot holders. Thanks again ☺️👍☺️

[@TheMasquerade]

Grand children are such a blessing! She will cherish anything you make for her.😉🥰

[@christies4963]

I am working on a quilt with this design so beautiful and yet easier than what most people would think...not simple by any means but very easy for even a beginner.

[@sandramassey5673]

Would love to know how the quilt works in this pattern. Sounds very interesting ☺️

[@leemager128]

This is awesome, I don't require a pattern from whomever and your instructions are spot on. Also I could hear you just fine, didn't need to turn up the volume either. God bless. 💖💖💖💖💖

[@kellielegrand5466]

I love this tutorial!!! Thank you!

[@sandydurkin7602]

Great instructions. Thank you for sharing!

Love it! Great gift ideas!

[@carolcruz6494]

This video is the best! Thank you so much (sew much?) for posting!!

[@vickirobles3406]

My little sister has wanted me to make this folded star block for her for years. My mom made me one.

[@danbev8542]

Great video! Good, concise demo & explanations. Thank you!

Thanks for the video! I love that accent!

[@jesspeak7543]

Very clever and a great choice of fabrics, thank you, Jess

[@connywelch5192]

Wow, beautiful work! Looks fascinating and easy- Very interesting and satisfyingly Creative! Nice teaching style. Kudos!

Beautiful 🙏

[@veracastro3067]

Excelente aula 😃!!! Belo trabalho!

[@celiagarcia4502]

claro que si muy bien explicado muchas gracias y esperando sus videos Saludos de Mexico

[@gerrygasson8114]

Can hear you perfectly. If I wanted to make a bigger block, do I just increase each layer squares by 1/2 inch ?

[@TheMasquerade]

I haven't tested out increasing the squares, but I'm pretty sure it will work. You will have to increase the size of the foundation square as well. Keep us posted if you try it out. I'd like to know if it works!

[@karencollins4559]

thankyou i really enjoyed doing that with you

[@elsieletourneau1051]

Love this project

[@Angel-yl1ck]

it's so beautiful, I wouldn't want to use it and get it dirty. Thank you for the instruction.

[@TheMasquerade]

Use it! LOL If it gets dirty, you get to have fun making another one.😁

[@naydenaschlecht8572]

Thank you

Thank you! Loved it. Brazil. 🌼🌼🌹

[@theresajukiewicz3092]

Thank you!

[@digging4roots]

Do you have a tutorial to make the version that is displayed with 8 points in the center, rather than the 4 points that you are demonstrating here? You show them in the opening image on the left. Thank you.

[@TheMasquerade]

It is the same instructions! Some of them came out a little off center.

[@digging4roots]

@@TheMasquerade But how to make the one with 8 points instead of 4?

[@TheMasquerade]

@@digging4roots this does have 8 points. If you measure very carefully from the center out to the edges when marking your points, your project will come out with 8 identical points. Just give it a try. You'll see.😉

[@violetsfarm]

Nice video, thank you

[@GK-vt4ux]

Beautiful thank you

[@leideliz415]

That's amazing!!

[@Marla.22]

what are the dots for and how to measure that

[@riznijawfer8843]

Very beautiful thank you very much

[@duarteshelia]

Very nice

[@diana.fbaier4442]

Can you leave the pattern on longer

[@TheMasquerade]

I don't intend on taking it down at all. If you are talking about changing the video so that the measurements stay on the screen longer; that can't be done now that it is already uploaded. Maybe you can pause the video to write it down? Hope that helps!

[@debraruffing]

I would like to see a square one.

[@patriciadollin6421]

i have made those for years

[@mercedeshurtado8604]

I love this!

[@uxamakhan7116]

looking so nice and beaitiful.

[@mcristina980]

Muy bonito!!! Saludos

[@katereid5274]

I would like to do this a bit bigger, maybe for a cushion. Any thoughts.

[@TheMasquerade]

Maybe try doubling or tripling all the sizes? I haven't had the time to test it - but it might work! - or if you just want to keep adding to the original block until its the size you need, start with the base foundation square the size of the cushion, then keep making the folded square triangles a 1/2" bigger than the last. So include a 5"square, then a 5 1/2" square, then 6", then 6 1/2" and so on till you have as many as needed.

[@katereid5274]

The Masquerade Thank you

[@sarahlynnjackson1386]

Yes... you can make it bigger, using this technique, but the larger it gets, the larger the ratio of each addition piece to the pieces before it. Here's a table topper I used with this pattern/technique: sarahlynnsmiteredcorner.blogspot.com/2015/03/biscornu-pincushion-needlekeep.html

[@darleneberreth915]

Sarah Lynn - I checked your site. What lovely things you have done!

[@fawn2828]

I hear you just fine.

[@lanafultz4988]

Thank

[@jacquelinemanzano9328]

Very clever, thank you. By the way, I heard you just fine.

[@janejohnson6689]

Are you able to supply details of measurements - copy of pattern etc - would be happy to pay.

[@TheMasquerade]

I do not have a pattern. The detailed measurements are listed on the video at 11 seconds in! Just pause the video there to write them down. Thanks for watching!😉

[@ftrdz5596]

Please, give me the square measurements..

[@TheMasquerade]

There's a list - just 10 seconds into the video! It tells you how many of each and the sizes: 3", 3 1/2'", 4" and 4 1/2" all on an 8" background.

[@ftrdz5596]

@@TheMasquerade Ok, thank you so much.

[@CloudyWishes]

It would appear that you have begun making it one way and completed making it another way? the look is totally different. Please correct me if i am wrong and point out what i have missed and the instruction. thank you

[@TheMasquerade]

The pattern is very versatile. I did change the last 2 pot holders by bringing in the triangles on the diagonal lines, closer to the center when lining up the second set of triangles. You can play with the design and skip marking the registration points, to lay your triangles as far in it out as you want. Have fun with this!

[@CloudyWishes]

@@TheMasquerade thank you I'm going to try this

Hola ! cómo estas ? qué hermoso trabajo, quiero me expliques cuántos centímetros vá aumentando el cuadro por cada vuelta, para hacer un cojín. soy Nancy de Colombia, tengo 70 anos me podrías mandar muestras con triángulos, rectángulos y tiras?. Gracias.

Vol is very low

[@TheMasquerade]

I realize. Sorry about that. I made this video before I purchased the microphone.

[@julyeajones2809]

can not hear you

[@TheMasquerade]

Sorry about that. I realize that you and about 10,000 other people have noticed that this video has volume issues. Nothing can be done about it now. However, if you watch the video without any sound - you can pretty much figure out how to do the project. Hope you give it a try! :)

[@pamelamiller3215]

lovely project but your can hardly hear you the sound is very low.

[@barbaramason8525]

I agree the tutorial was great but I really had to strain my ears to hear her.

[@autumn8034]

Cant hear you

[@TheMasquerade]

Sorry about that. I'll try to speak up more in future videos!

[@margaretscaife4646]

cant hear a word

[@lindacraig2759]

We. CANT hear you!

[@TheMasquerade]

Sorry about that. Really. It's been an issue for a while - when I convert the video so that I can edit it in my software, it loses volume. There's nothing I can do about it. Hopefully I'll be able to purchase a new camera and wireless mic in the near future.

[@cheryl8280]

Can't hear you!!! Good think I do know how to do this. Get rid of the music please.

[@TheMasquerade]

Sorry about that. No way to remove the music now - or it will remove my voice as well. You could always shut off the volume on your own. Good thing there are written measurements at the beginning and you can see what I'm doing very clearly. ;)

[@TheMasquerade]

Sorry about the volume. Can't do anything about it at this point - and if the music is removed, so are the instructions. I'll keep it in mind for future videos.

[@afternoondelite45662]

sloppy work but love doing this design.

[@TheMasquerade]

LOL - It goes to show that even when it's done sloppily, it's still a cool project! So a beginner or child could have an OK outcome and be happy with it. Sometimes I like to "let it go" and not get caught up in perfection. It's good for my soul! LOL

[@lmvicente1]

Tammy Hall and not everyone is a perfectionist. And must of all there's no reason to be rude. If you can't don't have something nice to say .Don't say anything at all
