If you sew an additional line 1/4 " to the outside of the 1st seam and then cut, those triangle waste pieces turn into HSTs you can use in other projects!

it looks so complicated (this is also the first video I've watched of yours) but you explain it so clearly!! I will definitely be making one of these because I love scrappy quilts, and I really like that it looks like you planned for the overall pattern. (but even better that you don't have to actually work too hard at it!) thanks! off to watch more, now.

I'm a quilter too. I tend to make quilts with larger pieces because they are faster and easier but absolutely love traditional patterns like this one. I would do a clam shell or baptist fan quilting on this one. I'm a long armer, too. I plan to make some of the gypsy boho skirts for me and my grand daughter using your instructions.

Been collecting fabric for years. Some from my grandmother and mother who were quilters and some from when I made clothing for myself and my girls. Work and life have kept me busy but I now have slowed down enough that I hope to let this consume my days!! Looking forward to your teaching. Thank you.

I am new to your channel. I am a long time quilter and I came across your, “Arkansas Crossroads”. I loved this quilt; I have so many scraps and I know this quilt will rid me of some of my stash. Thanks for your information. I will be following you. Sally, Salisbury, NC.

For making the snowball corners I use the Creative Grid Folded Corner Clipper to trim the corner leaving me with just yet another 1/4" seam. It's my favourite tool which would be replaced immediately if it ever broke. One thing I would mention is that for small pieces I reduce the seam length from 2.5 down to 2.0. It's one time I reduce stitch length to reduce the risk of the seams opening up.

Thank you for this video. I cut 2.5” squares and other sizes out of leftover material and then sew the 2.5” squares together using the leader/ender method. That means when I finish sewing another block for another project I sew two 2.5” squares together on the end. This allows me to use a lesser amount of thread and also create extra blocks for another project, like this. So I will make this project out of 2.5” squares and the background will be 4.5” (2.5 x 2 = 5, then 5 minus 1/2” = 4.5”). Eventually will have all of the blocks created and sewn together to make this project. Love it many thanks.

I am currently cutting fabric for a quilt and cutting the leftovers into 1 1/2" squares. I was so happy when I saw this pattern. Great video. I'll be putting this on my summer quilting list. Really enjoyed your style and subscribed pretty early in the video.
