How to use delicious leftovers to make a Floating 4-patch block - Quilting Tips & Techniques 177

[@josefinamccarty9271]

This patch work is perfect for areas of the world that only have access to small pieces of fabric...some times they buy them in bulk from dress makers, and buy them cheaper than per the yard. I come from Central America, where fabric is very expensive, if purchased by the yard. Thank you for all your work, I think I am going to make a purse, 2 patches, one for the front and another for the back, because I am not a quilter, only a "sampler sewer" I just love this 4 patch block.

[@henny5272]

Es muy gratificante ver tus vídeos. Gracias 😁☺️😁☺️

[@KonjikiKonjiki]

Hi, I really appreciate the demonstration for cutting down the quilt blocks using the quilting ruler. I am visually impaired now and was worried about these kinds of details but seems like I will be able to figure this out. :). You make it look so fun and fulfilling, I wish I had a family member to watch doing this growing up. :)

[@caroldoyle860]

I really love this, most of the square in a square blocks have such odd math involved, and I love how easy this is with all my leftovers! You are always so clever and your instructions are so clear, thanks again, for another wonderful tutorial!

[@nancydublin9666]

I agree with Carol. :)

[@mambakind]

This is a keeper, for sure, I love how your friend did the borders. I want to do that, too. Thank you,

[@donnalyn3372]

I have been quilting for years now. I am self taught. I am missing some vital foundation information. Thank you for going over some of the basics. It was very helpful. I subscribed immediately.

[@carolpearce7755]

Your friends quilt is stunning!!! Thank you for ALL you do to give us fresh ideas on our quilts.

[@jostovall5491]

Love the Floating 4-Patch Block ~ thank you for sharing!

[@ca6177]

Thanks again! lovely project!

[@joane8651]

Love your videos, thank you so much! You got me believing that I could do it because your directions are so clear, that even at 71 I could still be creative ;)

[@nanettebeal3660]

Thank you so much

[@Jedes1000]

You are the best teacher I have ever seen, Thank You for doing this series.

[@MomAsol]

Beautiful quilt blocks

[@lyndapierce2333]

You are awesome,thanks so much for your video,it's a great help to me.

[@jebbyragavan1397]

Thank you for another useful and easy idea of quilt making. You always use scraps and no "fancy" tools, which is GREAT! Not everyone can afford to buy new fabrics/tools etc. but you always come up with great ideas with simple techniques! Thanks again. I will try this as I have heaps of fabrics. This will make a nice baby quilt as well, is it not? God Bless your work.

[@debbymccauley4774]

Thank you for showing a scrap buster of 2 1/2 " and 5" squares. I love the border your friend, Jsnet used with 2 1/2 "squares to use up some more scraps. It really framed the quilt nicely. Enjoy your videos very much and your detail of teaching.

[@sharonbrown2468]

I LOVE all your tutorials, including this one! I have been making four patches as my leader and ender project for the past couple of years, just using leftover 2.5 inch squares and strips, so I have a container of them ready to go! Now to decide on the 5 inch squares from my stash. Thank you so much for your tutorials!

[@laurelb8372]

Love your clear instructions. Have used your idea for cutting leftovers, now can make up lots of donation quilts. Thank you

[@IamAlwaysRight100]

Fantastic!!! Loved it! Will definitely make this 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼thank you!

[@maureensmith4005]

Haven't seen your videos in a while. Glad to see Bernini is now supporting your talent. Love your accent and your teaching which is quite clear and easy to follow. Hugs from the US.

[@mmiddleton8807]

Thanks for that tutorial. What a fantastic and beautiful way to use up those scraps, that normally seems so wasteful to discard. Very inspirational and as a retiree, can't afford to constantly buy new fabric. Stash here I come!!!.

[@ShellyAuen]

I spent the weekend cutting squares...1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 inches to sew these in between my other projects. Smart!

[@corrytarbox9790]

Perfect, perfect, perfect! I have a bunch of four patches ready to go, scraps, scraps, scraps! Thank you,

[@patriciamaund2419]

Thank you for a straight forward approach to making these squares. Your have such wonderful tips and tricks for making any blocks and I have picked up several new (easy) ways to sew my blocks by watching your videos. Please keep up the good work.

[@RedBerryatHomesteadHopes]

Thanks so much for sharing this. A really nice block that I will have to try. I am a very new beginning quilter...just having done very small projects. I always enjoy your videos.

[@sandygrogg1203]

I really love how simple you made this block to make. Some people make the same block needlessly complicated. Can't wait to make some floating four patches! This is a good use for candies....

[@barbarabender2499]

I love watching your tutorials. You are probably the best quilting instructor I've come upon. Everything is taught in such a relaxed fashion. I actually stumbled upon your tutorials here on youtube and was previously focused on a few US venues that seem to be more focused on selling something extra rather than teaching. I like when you're instructing that you will use a tool, but offer advice if the person doesn't have that particular tool.

[@Robin-qc4gn]

Just found you, this is AWESOME!

[@noelquentin57]

Good idea! So many of us quilters have these square sizes already from charm packs or mini charms, as well as left-overs- this is an easy and adaptable way to use them! Yum!

[@jsomech]

Thank you SO much for this tutorial. You explained how to make the block so easily with so many good tips. I especially appreciated your explanation of how to measure and trim the block. I really appreciate your tutorials.

[@loraineleuschke4186]

Again, a lovely quilt behind you. I like any easy ideas that help me use up leftovers. Food leftovers are easier for me. I love “playing with scraps”.

[@bzystpn]

Thank you! I have died to cut both squares & will be using this block to make my leaders & Enders secondary quilt blocks! Perfection! I didn't know how large to cut a triangle to make this type of block... nice ideas!

[@maryanndunham4457]

Love the new block and as always your tutorial rocks! I've always loved how you make such delicious quilts using simple tools. Proof that it's not necessary to have a bunch of expensive gadgets to make beautiful quilts. Thanks bunches for all you share! Huggers!

[@redders6858]

Really love this, thank you 😊

[@stephaniemiller8229]

Such beautiful squares! I love your color choices. You seem like such a lovely lady.😊❤️

[@MsBootheel]

I just finished a string quilt and it seems I have more scraps than before. This falls in with me using up my scraps. I have another box I haven't gotten to yet so I have plenty. Thank you for your inspiration. Your tutorials are great!

[@shammichand2339]

I love this pattern ,not too complicated for a beginner like me ,thank you so much

[@vanessaodomsellsmansions]

Love this block for scraps. EZ instructions. Thank you.

[@charlesschleh3888]

Thank you for the floating four patch block. Your tutorials ate wonderfully taught. Great job.....I am going to make this for a baby quilt. Gloria Schleh from Missouri,.

[@andrewcalderone5831]

You are wonderful! Thanks for telling us the size of the blocks to cut and the surrounding ones as well so we don't have to be involved with the math. You make quilting fun! You also make great tutorials and they have easy to follow directions.

[@soniaadams3559]

Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@almabrown3586]

Thank yu for sharing this one I have so many 2 1/2 & 5 squares now I know how to use them. Thanks

[@patabbott872]

Looks so easy and stress free I will definitely try this method

[@karentzn]

Beautiful and quick. Love your technique. Thank you

[@annphilbeck5174]

I have way too many scraps. Ive been using my accuquilt to cut up squares and triangles but it keeps growing. LOL Love this and I will try to make as many charity quilts as I can with this block, Thanks so much!

[@mariar.gonzalez7040]

God bles beatifull job

[@fredabellefleur5418]

Hi, You really made a nice quilt there. I have almost all the fabric(scraps) like the quilt your friend made too. Just need a few yards to finish. Thank you for your tutorial my dear.

[@bonniebartloe9898]

Hi I'm a new quilter I like what you've done here it is so attractive and you explain it simply. I do like the scrappy quilts. I've just got a newer used Bernina and can't wait to get started on my first project. It just might be this one.I don't have so many remanants so I might just get some color coordinated groups. Thank you for making it look fun and kinda easy.Bonnie

[@donnaf2666]

Love it! Better method than I saw in the past. Thank you!

[@dianejones2140]

Love the quilt and so easy to do, thank you for another great tutorial.

[@cindygehrke5249]

Thank you! I'm inspired to go through my stash and cut leftovers into manageable pieces. Going to work on 2/12" and 5" squares to build up enough for a quilt like this. Amazing how much stash leftovers get to be overwhelming if you don't control them! Love your easy to follow tutorials!

[@dreamangel0418]

I have started on these blocks and if I do say so myself they are pretty. When I'm finish it would be the first I want to post. New to quilting

[@GourmetQuilter]

+Victoria Williams great, look forward to seeing what you make!

[@daniellecanning7142]

Victoria Williams ih'i

[@pomomary]

Great tutorial! I loved your friend's quilt that you showed in the end. Simple and yet so many possibilities to make this block in to a lovely quilt.

[@monicahaigh4490]

Always enjoy your tutorials and get inspired to continue creating delicious quilts. What joy!

[@75ChrisC]

As always, a great tutorial Susan. Thank you for giving me a great idea for using up scraps.

[@charlottebarnes6761]

[@patriciabeltran2847]

I love how you explain your tutorials. Thanks a lot.

[@rosyquezada345]

Muy bonito, muchísimas gracias por compartir. Saludos.

[@carolinehonse35]

I absolutely love this pattern. It has such a serendipitous feel to it while still being geometric. Thanks for the great explanation and examples. I love your videos.

[@MoMaryR]

Thank you. Janet`s quilt is stunning

[@luzia91951695]

Maravilhosas...obras de arte amiga.

[@janiceideus2656]

I always seem to have more scraps than I know what to do with and I do love working with scraps. I am always a little intimidated by putting blocks on point, but I think this is an excellent way for me to get over my fear. Also I have watched your tutorials for probably a year or two and I have seen your little pattern books at my favorite quilt shop near where I live. That is if 25 miles is near. For Texas that is pretty close. LOL

[@dreamangel0418]

I am starting on this block today, love the way you explain it, than you.

[@gkb4626]

Appreciate your tutorials. Thank you from Ontario, Cda

[@kathleenkeenan4296]

Great tutorial very easy to understand & follow. Such a beautiful quilt & as you say no end to the possibilities. Thank you so much as I am new to patchwork and quilting & looking forward to getting started.

[@debrawitte8391]

Love the stained-glass look Storm At Sea on the wall :-)

[@CraftySponge]

New to quilting and your channel, but truly inspired by your techniques and how you explain the process...super simply!! Thanks so much!!

[@heatherbuechelartistry]
