That was very good instructions, thank you. Enjoyed your direct approach...to the point. I absolutely love that you don't ramble foolishly about nothing. Also, thank you for not playing music. Great to be able to hear you. EXCELLENT. Thank you from (hearing impaired) me. :-))))))

Hi Susan ! I Lovvve your Beautiful contrast blocks & your Clear instructions. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge.Bye !

[@aracelisanchez5556]

Goodness, a wonderful tutorial and I so love your accent and your calmness, how tranquil it makes me feel. Thank you so much this is just what I was needing for my Charm Pack that I received as a gift and I think making your square with them into a Rag quilt will look just so pretty. Sharing is caring.

[@HRHDMKYT]

I would call this a square-on-point block. Simple yet snazzy effect. Thanks for the tutorial Susan, your instructions are always crystal clear! ~Diana

[@joycehill2342]

Great tutorial. You are coordinated - your top matches your black & white blocks. Love your scarf.

[@diannenaworensky6698]

I love the stripes and dots. The pattern is great and I love a geometric type of square. Your instructions are great and I could listen to you talk all day. Thanks !! ✌🏻❤

[@wilycat5290]

Square in a square is always a fun block 😊 👍 💕

[@joybarber6974]

I think this would be a great way to use up big scraps! I can't wait to try this! Thank you! You are so inspiring!

[@VoxUrania]

The stripes and dots are gorgeous and graphic. They’d also look great set on point, diagonally across the quilt. 🤔 now I’m thinking.

[@craftingcockney488]

Yes at last perfect for an absolute beginner...Thank you! I am soooo looking forward to having a go

[@GourmetQuilter]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video, and the scarf! I don't try to co-ordinate!

[@jebbyragavan1397]

Guess what?? I just finished making this block with green stripes and green spots. I have bought different coloured stripes with matching spots - and I can tell you I'm going to have a 'ball'. Hope to make a quilt - once finished, will let you know. Thanks a LOT Susan - your instructions are very clear, and as I said on another comment, you don't use "fancy" templates/rulers, yet your blocks are so inspirational!! Thanks AGAIN!

[@minniegonzalez591]

I love your tutorials, always so clear & concise. Thank you.

[@bobbieminer6383]

Thank you for making this look so much easier than I thought it would. Ill keep watching all your videos.

[@ladyjay6741]

Thank you, as a new quilter this looks to be something I can do. I love floral fabric and I shall try that. The stripe is very nice with the polka dots. Cheers from Livonia, Michigan

[@barbara92356]

Thank you! It made perfect sense and this makes it so easy to make the blocks for my niece's Christmas placemats.

[@karenlautzenheiser2003]

I really like the stripes and dots, very striking!! You make all your instructions so clear...Thank you!!

[@stephaniemiller8229]

You are so pleasant to listen to, and watching your techniques gives me confidence to try doing it on my own. Thanks very much.😊❤️

[@lindagivvin2235]

Great hint for cutting the striped triangles! Hope I remember it. 😅

[@dianecfromny3912]

Great breakdown of steps. I have always known this block as "A Square in a Square"

[@stellaraj3741]

Thanks Clare. I have quite a bit of fabric & I'll make some baby (pink/blue) quilts with sashing or another plain block in between. Thank you for those love ideas and I love all your tutorials. You explain very well and clear. I'd love to visit you when I visit NZ !! God Bless

[@linda9731]

The best of the best tutorials ever! Thank you for making the math so easy, and finishing step--how to square the block for accurate assembly resulting in a flawless quilt.

[@judithlpn-quilter7757]

I love it. Putting squares in point always seemed so hard to me. I am going to try it right now!

[@lowec315]

Love this with the stripes.

[@GourmetQuilter]

Thanks! and I didn't even try to match, just comes naturally!!

[@lolibazzo]

[@dianegledhill9793]

What a brilliant tip, thanks for all your tutorials

[@patti-anngracia2791]

I liked your Video. I was able to undstand it clearly. Thank You. :)

[@vanessamonteith5740]

I need my finished cut block to be a 10" block. Is there a formula or a cut chart to tell me what size my starting blocks need to be to give the different size finished cut blocks? I am not sure if I stated that correctly, but I love the look of this block and would like to use it in my quilts. I see using 5" squares on the diagonal will give me this finished block of 6.5". So, if I use 3 - 6.5" squares to make this block, will that give me a 8" finished block or bigger? Sorry to be so confusing.Love your tutorial, so clear and easily stated for your viewers. Thank you

[@debbymccauley4774]

Very nice and simple. Enjoy your tutorials

[@Wanda6308]

I have a question for you. I am making an on-point table runner, how do I measure to get a correct size setting triangle for the sides? Thank you

[@jmarylastone]

[@leslie-reagan5219]

Great job as always! You are so clear and concise. The creaky sound in the background was a little annoying as I have the volume up to hear you..but the information was excellent!

[@Janetl62]

Thank you! I love your tutorials! :)

[@GourmetQuilter]

Thanks for watching.

[@terri9105]

What type of iron block are you using?

[@sandrasilveiralima3246]

poderiam colocar traduçao. os trabalhos são lindos. mas não entendo. assisto só para ver como e o trabalho. na maneira que faz. obrigada pela atenção.

[@lorrainewilliams7896]

I believe this is called a Diamond in a Square, sometimes also called a Square in a Square. If you add one more round of triangles, it is the Economy Block.

[@kittyhurley5677]

I have a problem getting my corners to come out as a point how do I fix this

[@beccachurch]

How was the move? Best wishes.
