[@kathythompson8057]

This is precious! Please make it a triple play! I’m impressed with Natalie’s math skills!!

[@lorriejacobs1498]

Definitely need a layer cake version!

[@coreytibbs]

Wouldn’t you just double the size?

[@Amandy36]

​@@coreytibbs it would double the orginal size of the block. A bigger block would help a larger quilt come together faster than the small blocks made from a 5" square.

[@gailjernigan2482]

Yes, please. I’m not into minis and would love to see this using a layer cake!

[@nonyabizness.original]

@@coreytibbs almost, but not exactly. if you just doubled each cut piece, you would be doubling your seam allowance, which you don't want. so when you want to double the size of a pattern, you double each CUT piece and then SUBTRACT 1/2" on each side-- so you're not also doubling your seam allowance of 1/4" all the way around. also, when i see an already-made quilt i want to copy, i measure the size of each FINISHED piece in the quilt block, and then ADD 1/2" to each side to account for the seam allowances.

[@dianengelman8773]

You could cut a 10 inch square just like the charm square. The change would be the size of the half triangle rectangle. That’s he hard part. I would have to get out my graph paper, but this is a genius pattern! Natalie, you Rock!

[@Dasburyfamily]

Beautiful new block, Connecting Stars. Thank you Natalie for designing this block. Love seeing you and your mom share quilting time together. 💖💖💖

[@joanneferguson3784]

I don't think I have ever commented on how much I enjoy Natalie's teaching style..and actually I just love watching Natalie..Thanks Natalie..

[@suebean3873]

She’s a smart cookie that one. Super cute pattern Natalie…

[@margie6534]

I've followed you for a long time. Great to see Natalie come into her own in front of the camera.

[@kelleymckell]

Wow! Natalie really hit it out of the park with this one. I also fear little pieces but I am going to try this one. I can't wait to see what happens when Misty joins you two for a Triple Play on this block. Thanks ladies!

[@NannaLiz]

I LOVE THIS! Yes, please make it bigger for a kid's size quilt. Darling... thanks!

[@quiltta]

Kay England has a bigger block. Book is cheap.

[@ceecee8757]

Just use a 10" square.

[@shirleyhanson6132]

This is dazzling, Natalie, but I think I'll wait for Jenny to make the LARGE one! Hi from Montana!

[@quiltta]

I love this. Kay England has a book out in this pattern buts a bigger square. I am going to do this.

[@jennydoan57]

Wow I didn’t know that….great minds think alike!

[@carlaatkins2619]

I am in awe of anyone who works with Itty bitty parts. 👏 KUDOS 👏

[@rhondahallet8413]

Looking forward to the triple play. Great job Natalie

[@person2463]

I tried to design something like this about ten years ago, and my brain exploded. Natalie, you are brilliant!🎉!🎉!🎉 just beautiful. Thankyou. Hugs, Chel 🌸

[@patriciaruppert201]

A layer cake version would be fantastic. Love the table runner. And you two are so cute together ❤️❤️

[@MommaDiane58]

I will be doing a layer cake one! I have already figured all the pieces out. I'd love to share with you if I had a way to

[@kendranewton9071]

So so pretty, thank you Natalie for doing the math.

[@lynnieloungelizard4587]

‘We all have different brains” needs to be on a t-shirt! Thanks for an enjoyable time watching you two work together ❤

[@marybrown3097]

Thank you Natalie, this is a great happy design! Love watching you and your Mom working together! ❤

[@cynthiamoon4315]

Yes on the layer cake option. Yes on the HSR bloc loc. Yes on the fabric. Yeses all around. And Natalie and Jenny, you look incredible!! You're inspiring me in more ways than quilts.

[@chrislittebrant5235]

Good Evening Jenny and Natalie, This table runner is so Cute❣️👍 Great design Natalie ❤ I hope you both have a great weekend, 🥰 Chris

[@margm4]

So pretty. Thanks Natalie and Jenny … what a team! ❤️🇦🇺

[@patriciapriest908]

Love this! Let us see a bigger one! Please! Thank you!

[@kathyberlincourt4542]

I love watching Jenny and Natalie together. I wish Natalie would do more videos. This will be a fun project that will take time to do. I have way too many tops but want to quilt. So, I'm going to do it. Thank you ladies!

[@tammyjohnston4874]

Congratulations Natalie, that is so cute!!!! Love it!!!!

[@raeleanbanas4230]

It is so cute and colorful. I agree it needs a triple play.

[@barbarajefferysings]

Absolutely adorable! It's so fun to watch a secondary pattern emerge when you put blocks together. Well done, Natalie!!🎉

[@karendavies3728]

It would look stunning in Christmas colours

[@slim215]

Natalie, you are brilliant I am not sure why you don’t teach advanced quilting techniques that is for your niches your brilliance

[@user-xr4ni5ip5e]

Amazing - I love it. Nathalie is such a great teacher! Thanks girls for a great block, yet again :)

[@klipsie1]

This is so beautiful. I can't wait to get started on one. I have so many charm packs I dont know what to do with! It would be great if you could show us how to square up the rectangle if you don't use the block lock ruler.

[@sandybruce9092]

That’s a very good idea! I admit to having quite a few rulers 🤭🤭🤭 but would like so,e help for me and others if we wanted to use a different type/brand???

[@leighannehumphrey]

So cute! I’d also like to see a layer cake sized version. ❤😊

[@denisechelpka3936]

Love, love, love it! PLEASE make this with layer cakes!!!

[@lesa6399]

WooHoo!! Go, Natalie!!! Another win!!! Thank you for sharing!!🥰

[@carolenedrake8762]

Just have to say you ladies inspire me. To quilt better and to enjoy trying new patterns. You are also looking great and I know it is hard work!

[@KnitzyKitzy]

This is cute. I love it when you guys do a video together.

[@kathleenk7726]

I will make the larger version when you design it Nat!! Have a great weekend girls and thanks.

[@Joy-eq6qg]

WOW! The math in this little jewel must have been exhausting...thank you Natalie for an outstanding design!! Now to figure out how many of these blocks for a baby quilt. If I can't figure it out, I'll have to reach out for Natalie's help 😊 Jenny, make this a triple play project next year, please😊😊

[@karenquilter4101]

I was thinking I would double it to get a 36” square?

[@claricejonez8440]

This would be cute in red, white and blue! Love this design! I thought it was another take on wonky stars.

[@objectiveobserver4278]

It would look like patriotic fireworks! Great idea.

[@MiDo-hn8bo]

So cute! And perfect for scraps! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@loristrauss9456]

I would love to see this in a triple play!! It’s too cute to just be a table runner!!!🎉

[@carolswaim4829]

Jenny, you must be, so proud of your Natalie. She’s awesome. I have a daughter like her and we have so much fun. For my 80th birthday, she made up kits and sent to my kids, grandkids and a great granddaughter. They all made blocks, male and female alike and I have the most beautiful keepsake.

[@JesusisKing222]

That is just such a lovely blessing!

[@doxipups2]

Can't wait to see this in the triple play rotation. Natalie this is one I'm putting on my list and now I just need to head over and get me some Lock Block tools!

[@janetsmith2647]

As small as these pieces are, I could make a dent in my gigantic scrap pile. 🎉🎉 Thank you, Natalie!

[@toniomalley5661]

Yes Jenny and thank you Natalia for explaining it properly

[@lynnscroggins7104]

I love this entire video! Love the two of you together, LOVE this design, love that Jenny acknowledged we all have different brains (I tend to not see things as easily as most), love that Natalie explained the why of the sizes…I often wonder that myself. Great job ladies! And now I need another tool! I love blockloc tools! What a a way to start my day💕

[@hazelcarter2132]

Yes, we're proud of you Jenny! Beautiful design Natalie. Love watching you ladies work together, making beautiful projects. Thank you 🥰

[@monaandersson3644]

Stunning pattern and lovely to see you two together ❤

[@FrancesSmeby]

Hubby and I are going to a wedding in Colorado and on the way home we are stopping at your shop. Hope I get to see some of you around the 10th of June or so.

[@janetschram3552]

Wow! I think a bigger version would be in order for me. That is just beautiful! Thank you both for a great tutorial.

[@cathywilson3551]

LOVE THE math explanation. I am a math girl and it is how I layout and design things

[@autumnpiper60]

LOVE this! THANK YOU Natalie!

[@dorisclevinger2156]

Love this, thank you~! Can you please design with 10inch layer cakes?

[@lindab2144]

Oh so cute. Natalie's patterns are always unique.

[@sandrarubin9278]

I love your banter so much & learn a lot from listening to you talk and explain to each other! Thank you again ladies for another great teaching tutorial! 💕

[@tammykelley6173]

So cute to see the block come together. Jenny asked great questions, just what I was wondering at the same moment. Great job Natalie! I was looking for table runner or bed runner patterns.

[@MommaDiane58]

I love this pattern so much, I made a quilt 75"x75" to use on my sofa while watching tv!!!

[@lauriedoyle5491]

Thanks Natalie and Jenny! 🎉. I love this Tablerunner! So cute to set out on your table for a Birthday party! Can’t wait to make it!

[@vondeasheaffer8565]

Yes, please- a layer cake version!!

[@kathleenadams3759]

Love seeing Nat with Jenny (or alone).

[@patstrawhouse4005]

Wow! I LOVE this pattern! I must have been camping when this tutorial was posted! Natalie is SO talented and creative! Thank you for sharing your design process. Yes, please make a Triple Play version! Now I need to buy the hall rectangle ruler. Too bad my bundle closed yesterday. Just missed it by a day. Now on my Wish List. Thank you and stay well! Muskoka ON 🇨🇦

[@suestutzle2779]

What a lovely table runner. I love this. Natalie, you have talent. I love all these table runners BUT I have a round table! Not so many table toppers for round tables.

[@thefloreas6699]

Love, love, love this one! Natalie! You're a genius. Done in the calicos makes it even cuter.

[@glorialuedke1571]

I loved this. Not a fan of small but I would make this. Great job Natalie. And yes as a Triple Play with larger pieces. (😉) fun fun.

[@annemariemartin4946]

This is my favorite quilt pattern.. I made a large christmas throw for my nephews family and they loved it!!!!!

[@glynisreynolds446]

Fabulous quilt Natalie 🤩 Thanks for working out all the math 👍 Great inspiration 👏👏🇬🇧

[@sweerdeatpat]

What an awesome pattern! Natalie, I love the way your brain works!!

[@francrouch9347]

This would be a great stash buster! Definitely a 'must' buy list!

[@gailmccurdy8677]

Love how you two work so well together❤

[@nonyabizness.original]

love how you can't see the lines where one block ends and another begins- a quilt with no block lines is like an outfit with no panty lines- aesthetically pleasing 😁. gonna double the block size and make this one with a layer cake, cuz in my older age, i no longer do tiny quilt pieces- or tiny panties 😁.

[@sandramitchell9423]

Love, love, love this pattern! Please make a pattern with layer cakes, would be an amazing wall hanging. Thanks so much for all you do. 🩷

[@lisabotkin4858]

❤The block. ❤The runner. Definitely need a layer cake version to make a bed-size quilt. PLEASE.😊❤

[@adventureswithfabric6710]

Really nice block. Natalie looks great!

[@roseannecarratkinson4271]

Natalie, you hit this out of the ball park! Such a cute runner!❤

[@babeyblu06]

So cute! Definitely need a larger version!

[@traceyheinle]

I love it!! ❤❤❤ Such a cute pattern….Thank you Natalie!!! 😍😍😍

[@RebeccaTreeseed]

Thank you Natalie. I must try this one.

[@jeanielipskey1272]

Love this, will need to get those rulers tho!

[@sandracedar368]

Another gem from Jenny, Natalie, & MSQC!❤❤❤

[@cherokeedancer8448]

This is gorgeous! Would be perfect in Christmas fabric ❤

[@silsbo7535]

Love this! Well done, Natalie! Looking forward to the triple play 👍

[@user-nr5xi9yr1f]

Genius!!! Thank you. Would be fabulous for Quilts of Valor.

[@ruthhilsdorf3210]

Adorable. Every time I think I can’t possibly use another tool you show one I need. That little hack of spinning the ruler is going to be so helpful. I always get in trouble when I’m using the Blok Lok tools but now I’ll be ok.

[@terrijones3386]

Natalie always amazing me with her beautiful patterns.

[@barbarajohnson1572]

Natalie.. you've found your calling.... this is so in my future! GB

[@Chriscreations123]

Love love love, what a quick gift! Thank you Jenny and Natalie I love y’all ❤

[@lornafifield8289]

This is beautiful. Agree with Lorrie (below) a layer cake version would be great too!

[@kathrynbarker7967]

That is a hit! Absolutely genius - great job!

[@elizabethrukminiishii7459]

What a lovely table runner. Looks easy enough for a beginner like me❣️😂

[@helenwilliams7112]

Wow! What a great mini! Thanks, Natalie!!! I love that you girls do the math for us! Blessings to you all!

[@jennysanfilippo2105]

So sweet to see Mother, & Daughter together. Jenny is such a wonderful wife, mother, mother in law, and grand mother. Patient, caring, and fun. Natilie is so nice. I lve her creativity. How very clever of her to figure out how to make these blocks. Look how beautiful these look all together in this runner, quilt. I would be so proud of my daughter, or my mother if I was Jenny, & Natilie.❤

[@DottyKupsky]

Such a cute design! And I'm impressed with all the math you must have worked through.

[@barbarajohnson1572]

WOW... watching this come together is so much fun! YES to triple play!

[@traceyhonig4461]

Ok, Natalie… now you did it! There’s a new trim tool ruler that makes that shape, but I wasn’t interested in it. Of course, now I have to buy it and the little charm pack that you used! Such an adorable table runner and perfect for summer! 🧵❤️

[@BellaSandella]

I get challenged sometimes with the blok lok ruler. I would love if Natalie did a tutorial on this. The runner is really sassy!

[@sandybruce9092]

I’m OK with the regular BlocLoc rulers but the birangle can come fuse me. I have one from another brand but haven’t used it yet - I thunk I need to practice with a little bit larger pieces before I go this small just to make sure I get it👍👍👍😄🤭😄

[@hardierogers410]

I love this table runner. I do wish you would demonstrate how to do the cutting without the specialty rulers. Thanks for all you do.

[@kimpebley9856]

Love the spin and slide technique!

[@deannea3899]

❤❤ I love the Natalie is a math genius!!❤❤

[@candacecarroll42]

Wow! My head is spinning! This is absolutely darling! I’m thinking this would be a great stash buster, using a common background! Definitely do a triple play!!!

[@annemariemartin4946]

I love this quilt pattern. Its a little mind boggling to getting all the parts :):):)

[@MyPDDaily]

Wonderful! Thank you!

[@lindasuerussell4398]

Beautiful, Great job, Nat.

[@alexandra-zaza-burns]

This is so pretty.
