Beautiful quilt and now that I see how easy it is I really want to try it! I find that taking a picture of the quilt layout , before sewing blocks together, really helps me see things I don't with my eyes.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

You will have a lot of fun with this project! It is so stunning and we appreciate your support! Great suggestion, thanks for your comment! - Abby

This is a really nice quilt and Tammy is a great instructor. My most memorable Tammy video is the Christmas Tree Napkin that she showed us. I’ve made so many of them and found them to be great fun. Thank you, Tammy, for that pattern.

I have lovingly named my husband Jack the Ripper because he doesn't mind doing this for me if I need to rip large projects. I use vintage fabric and sometimes will buy an ugly quilt top just for the fabric. He patiently separates all the pieces! Oh, and he calls my long arm clients "Ladies of the Cloth"!

I'll have to figure out how to cut a 10" square to make this. Such a sweet pattern; I have a layer cake I'd like to use that has some large prints and wouldn't want to cut them that small.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

We're so glad this fun design inspires you, Susan! Thanks so much for watching. -Michelle

[@kristyjensen6453]

I cut the sizes I needed into pattern pieces with printer paper to set them on the 10" layer cake and was able to get 4 sets from each. The first one I tried cutting the 10" down into 4 squares to cut like the charm size and I was short on one side.

Sigh…. I have a real problem at looking at fabrics and dismissing them when they don’t catch my eye or buying fabrics that I love, but wouldn’t find comfort in, only fun. This video is a perfect example. The colors/shades aren’t my cup of tea, but when they are put together, they create a completely comfy palette that I find cozy and want to bury myself in. I have no idea how to stop this. My eyes’ preference create fun quilts, but not much in the way of a nice, warm burrito’s embrace. To amplify the problem, even if I bought fabrics that are ho-hum to me but know they’ll make a comforting quilt, I wouldn’t find the motivation to do anything with them. Frustrating.

[@ShabbyFabrics]

This is not at all how I thought this was going to go together, but I like it. When I first clicked on the link, I thought there would be a big square with two borders sewn all the way around and then use the ruler t9 cut the whole thing in four.
