JEAN'S BLOCK PARTY 2018 ~ Block Number TWELVE

[@jedlinnen6528]

... talent as well, Jean. That is part of the package! My mom used to say ... ' no one can take away your talent.' She didn't do much with hers and sometimes that used to piss her off when she was doing the dishes. ..but she had a way with her room that you could happily sit in forever!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Dear old mom had a real 'talent' then...to make her home and room a safe haven!! :)

[@kfrink2639]

I love the block a week. It keeps me from feeling guilty for leaving my sewing machine out on the kitchen table all week. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and thank you for not editing out all the places where your thinking out loud. That helps me not be discouraged when I'm sewing. I've only been sewing for a couple of months. All of this is new to me. Thanks for making it fun and easy.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I'm the original 'one take and in the can' type of gal!!! :) Can't be bothered making it all picture~perfect! Sewing/quilting/life isn't like that!! :) Thanks for watching!

[@jedlinnen6528]

It's amazing, Jean. All the things but really it's your creativity that counts. ... I realise this whilst packing that. No one can rob you of your creativity

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Creativity, free will, free spirit....no one can rob you of these precious gifts

[@kilnqueen1]

I look forward to the weekly blocks. I thank you for your time to teach us the techniques for quilting. I'm glad you are feeling better and pray for continued healing. Thank you again for all your time and knowledge and willingness to pass along the skills and encouragement to learn quilting in a very relaxed and fun format.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

You are most welcome! I am enjoying sharing what I know with folks who appreciate it! :)

[@1sassyspunky]

Jean, I am glad you are feeling better. I have all my fabrics just trying to decide what to use first. Your tutorials are fabulous. You are a breath of fresh spring air! Keep the videos coming any way that works best for you. Happy Monday.😃

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Aw thank you! Feeling better thanks! I am so pleased you are enjoying watching me! Go figure!!! :LOL!

[@jedlinnen6528]

Glad your back, Jean. Yeah my patchwork books and cloths are the things that I care about most. There's no way they are not coming with me. The rest of it can be replaced. Happy Design, Jean

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

My ideal home would be a tiny kitchen, small bathroom, decent size bedroom, small sitting room and a HUGE sewing studio!! :)

[@michellecharles5541]

Weekly is great'Jean. I dont like the wait for the monthly ones so don''t look at them until I have collected them all. Love your attitude and down to earth approach. You make me smile!!!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I always thought that....Once A Month?!???? Talk about losing interest!! So every Sunday it will be! :) Thank you very much for watching me ~ I'm a bit all over the place, but I get there in the end! :)

[@michellecharles5541]

I love the way you present as it is so totally honest. Others present a scripted and mistake free version of how to videos. Thats why I like yours (oh and Jenny Doan too) so just keep being you! :)

[@jodihensley6299]

I love the block of the week. I've not sent any pictures in I'm behind a couple blocks because I was on vacation. I love it weekly. Thank!! I love your personality and your mannerisms. You could come for tea any day!! Thanks for your hard work.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Well, then, put the kettle on!! :) Earl Gray for me! Every Sunday it will continue to be! :) Thanks so much for watching and following!

[@beverleysimmons8080]

Awesome Sunday for us afternoon freezing rain good day to be home watching videos started a illusion quilt glad you feeling better

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you! Yes, stay in and quilt if the weather outside is miserable! :)

[@annieboulton5759]

Hi Jean. Great to see you back in your sewing room and feeling much better!!! Love this block. Can't wait to rummage through my fabrics. Thanks for your tutorial xxx

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

You and your beautiful fabrics! Can't wait to see your creation! :) Feeling not 100% but much better, thanks

[@faithjohnson]

Good morning jean I hope you’re doing well this morning. I’m doing fine this morning getting ready to make my #12 block, it looks easy. I’m doing fine with making my blocks and not complaining lol. You have a wonderful day. Faith 😄

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Great! Every Sunday it is then! :) Block 12 ~ easy peasy! :)

[@margaret-mary499]

Omg I hope you still keep the blocks to one every week. I got excited when I got on my iPad and saw #12. That's a cute block. I can't believe you made a quilt from it already. Your amazing Jean. The photos of your family at the end was so darn cute. The snow is so beautiful🌷

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you so much! :) Yes, keeping it to every Sunday! People can get to it when they can get to it! :)

[@janestevens9973]

Glad to see you are back to your old self. You have inspired me to finish UFOs and get three quilt tops finished so a bit behind with the block party. Will get 11 and 12 done today before Sunday ready for number 13. Jane, Hampshire,UK

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Super!! Yes! Get to those unfinished projects and see good for your hard work! :) Block 13 is an easy one!! :)

[@debglastetter851]

Welcome back Jean! I am so glad you are feeling better. You have been missed. I love the Disappearing Nine Patch. Your quilt at the end is very pretty.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you! It was a shame to waste my 'practice blocks'!! :)

[@susancychowski582]

Oh love this block and so so happy to see you are feelin better Jean and the little quilt is perfect for what i need to make for my next project thank you so much xxxxx

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

This is a super easy little 'project' quilt! Great quick gift idea~ :) Thanks so much! :)

[@Clearymartin]

My 2 cents: Keep doing what you are doing. We are here and love to watch. Glad you are feeling better! I am in the East Coast - Connecticut. It wasn't that much here - we got the tail end of the storm and it ended up maybe 4 inches :) Was gone the next day lol.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

My 2 cents....I will keep doing what I am doing! LOL! Feeling better ~ not yet 100% though. Am taking it easy. And what was up with that snow??!?!? Here today, gone tomorrow!! LOL!

[@sassieanne]

Hi Jean, So glad you are feeling better. I'm thrilled to see you. I like the weekly block, but if everyone else wants something different I am ok with that too. I'm always muddled. LOL

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Once a week ~ that's the ticket! :) Talk about muddled....my middle name! :)

[@keepthefaith1912]

I think this is one of my favorite blocks ( the window one is great)..and I see..I'm watching it again..you could make a whole quilt from this block☺️😍😍😍

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Yes, this would make a super one-block quilt!

[@willajohnson8577]

Jean I think it's extremely nice of you to take the time to teach this many patterns. Unless people really feel the need to keep up that's great but...the videos are here to save and make when we have time, so do what you have planned!! ...☺Thank you for sharing.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank YOU! I am enjoying sharing what I know with people who appreciate it! :)

[@willajohnson8577]

Jean Truelove 🌼🌹❤🍀

[@beverlea1961]

Willa Johnson in

[@mkfurr60]

Okay, I watched to the end! I always do, I need to make a quilt for a family member, I think I may do this bigger for the gift! Easy and fast!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Super easy quick gift, is this block! :)

[@patriciadolinsek6112]

Glad you're feeling better. Your hair is beautiful today! Love, love, love this new block. Personally I love getting a new block each week even if I don't get it sent to you right away. Schedules get busy as they sometimes do and I just fit in my sewing where I can. I love sewing way more than I thought I would (even when I have to redo a block). Being a crafter though, I am entranced by all the fabric colors and textures. I very much look forward to your new post each week. This week I am working on this block and last weeks block. I need to focus but it will get done. Thank you for all you do for us and again, I am glad you are feeling better.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you! I decided to brush my hair!! LOL!! I have decided to stick with the weekly block and as you say, people will get to it, when they can get to it! :) THank you so much! :)

[@mkfurr60]

I am so glad you are feeling better! Easy as pie. I am going to make block 11. You are back to normal, love you so much! You say what you are thinking, yes snow is white but this one was different, you saw it with your own eyes! Giggles giggles....

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm in your tone?!?!?! LOL!! LOL!! IT WAS SO WHITE!!! That is my story and I'm sticking to it!! :) And I didn't beat you up this week, block 12 was SUPER EASY~!! :)

[@sugarmuffin57]

I know this block but loved watching your tutorial. As I was watching I was starting to plan a baby quilt...three blocks across. Wondering if that was big enough. And low and behold...you hold was up exactly the size I was planning. And I love the light and busy layout. Thank You...I will whip it us lickity split!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

A simple 'nine patch' baby quilt! Perfect size for cuddling and comfort! You are most welcome! :)

[@eirlyshuws3265]

Love the little quilt, it will give a lot of comfort. What a nice thought.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you!

[@oldhippie1805]

I love this. I can't post pictures and my quilt is looking good. Keep it up I love your videos

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you very much! :) Aren't you pleased with your progress?!?!

[@lindakochis5476]

Glad you’re feeling better! Love watching you though I’ve not been doing the challenge.....maybe later thankfully I can find you. I’m from NJ but living in Colorado we haven’t had as much snow as the east but when we do it melts fast because it warms up so fast. Glad you’re back

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Not a lot of snow in Colorado, but in Philly we get smacked!! LOL! What's up with that?!?!? LOL! Thanks so much, glad to be back! :)

[@eleanorbrown1671]

Loving this block party Jean, once a week is good, please don't change it, I wait each week for the new block. I haven't been sending in my photos as they seem to highlight flaws lol, but I am certainly not bored. Glad you're feeling better, love muddle mode.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Silly you....no flaws are there, just perfect blocks made with love! Send them!!! :) No quilt police here! Thanks so much for following along and thank you, I am feeling better, even though 'muddle, is my middle name! LOL!

[@jenniewren9351]

I knew I recognised it! My parents are Londoners and I'm in Kent. Sounds like an interesting life. Keep up the good work.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you very much! :)

[@mamawb2013]

I love doing all the blocks as Block of the Week. If it was block of the month I would have quit long time ago. I'm sorry, I just haven't posted any pictures. Glad you are feeling better!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Yea, me too!! :) THanks for your concern! :)

[@lesleymcneely9997]

Thank you Jean. Glad you are a bit better. I send my pics in when I have 2 finished. This one is easy. Very Happy!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

SUper! I have the rest of your blocks on the webpage! :) Yes, I didn't beat you up this week ~ super easy!

[@krismorris1810]

So lovely to hear you again, love your mess ups! You asked what we all want, Jean, in your words, “ if you want to or not”. In other words, we all have choices to see you, to follow you whenever, that’s the best of you tube, we can go back, pause or shut down! So dear Jean, just do what you do, when you can, and you enjoy too, as I do, anytime. Love Kris in Lymington, England.

[@donettekurtz4057]

kris morris i

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Me and my mess ups.. !! LOL! So I will continue to just do what I do!! :)

[@merrilynblackmore6962]

I agree!

[@deeriegle6940]

Please continue weekly. I am a beginner and look forward to learning new skills. I don't post basically because I don't know how or where.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Will do!! Every Sunday from now on! :) Thank you!

[@sandiesamuels3157]

So Glad you are better. Lovely quilt, easy block.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you ~ yes, feeling not 100% but much better! :)

[@jenniewren9351]

I'm intrigued to know your heritage. Every so often you pronounce words in a really British way. Blessings to you xxx

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

HaHaHa~~ My 'heritage'!!!! LOL! I'm from outside of Philly and married a Londoner, moved to the UK where I lived (for almost 10 years) and had kids there, moved to Vancouver Canada, and then back here to PA., where we had more kids! So I'm a bit all over the place! :)

[@kathyreed4488]

I like this pace...need to show you my blocks I've made...love yr tutorials Jean...you are awesome and always cling out yr videoes!! You're doing a great job...keep it up!!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

RIght then, once a week it is! Thanks for following along!

[@annettehachey7909]

I've just started watching and am enjoying it. Looking forward to finishing up my current projects so I can start these blocks!.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

So pleased you are watching! :) THank you!

[@annettehachey7909]

Jean Truelove I would love to do these in miniature.

[@judypatterson994]

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

[@CoffeeJo]

This is my favorite block so far. Thank you, Jean.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Super!! I think it is SO pretty also! :) You are most welcome!:)

[@annrincon7048]

Hello Jean. So glad you're feeling better. Love this block! I have fallen behind on blocks as I have been traveling for the last several weeks. I am hoping to catch up on this challenge as well as Angela Walter's FMQ challenge this week.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

So many challenges!! :) Can't keep up! :) Thanks so much for watching and following! :)

[@Rebecca-pk2vg]

My husband and I have been traveling, from one campground to another. One transmission replaced. Water lines taken out by semi truck tire in road. Internet connections not always available. Block 11 almost complete. Miss the table and larger machine at home, but I will catch up. Very happy you are improving.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Are you in an RV?!? We have a 38 foot Pace Arrow...love our RV! :) But a pain when they go wrong :( Thanks so much for your concern!

[@kathyskwiltzkrafts276]

Beautiful block Jean. I enjoyed your video tutorial very much.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you!

[@earlenejarrells7044]

hi jean, so glad you are better and up and about. thanks for all the time you are putting into finding blocks for us to learn. I love this block and also I loved block "11 last week. It really looked hard but once I broke it down and started to sew it all came together very nicely. Now, I really like the block a week. Plus we are almost finished and it is not dragging out. But, what every you decide is just fine with me. Thanks again for all your help.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

About that block....LOL!! I just thought that most of you guys are SO clever, that it wouldn't be hard!! And like you said, once it was 'broken down' it was easy! :) Thanks for sticking to it! And this WILL be the Block of the Week club!! :) Thanks for following along!

[@jedlinnen6528]

Jean, glad you back in the groove. I don't have any problem keeping up with your vids. I mean, it's like popping in for a coffee. I have some good news. I am moving out of the dirty city to the coast and am packing. Should be away in a couple of weeks. All my lovely patchwork coming with me and Rowan designs. You look OK, anyway and Spring has finally arrived, Jean

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Yay for the coast! Hope the move goes well and smooth and you can get back to what is important ~ quilting! :)

[@ruthanngreenway4243]

Yah...you're back. It's so nice to see you! I've missed you.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you for missing me! :) Feeling not 100%, but much better! :)

[@daylily1]

I don’t know about anyone else, But I look forward to the Sunday block. I am still working on #11, but I love the disappearing nine patch block. It’s great for a quick table runner and people will think you worked so hard. :). As for sending pics of my blocks, I didn’t want to overburden your email. I did post to the Instagram page and like looking at the other blocks that are posted. -- I am in PA, too, but near to Pittsburgh. We had a cold, snowy first day of spring, too. I am happy you’re doing better. Keep doing what you’re doing.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

And your blocks are SO VERY PRETTY!! :) I love looking at all the different blocks! So I will keep on as I am now doing! Every Sunday! :) You are very sweet, thank you! :)

[@annapomorski5431]

No no no jean dont even think of giving us a block once a month, even though Im just following (as I told you )not actually doing for now, Im always looking foward to your party block every week. Waiting for a month will be too long a wait. Keep them coming please.Anyways they be here if anyone is not catching up . Good to see you recovered and back to your old self.bless you

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

That's what I think....so every Sunday it will be!!! :) Feeling better but still taking it easy, thank you! :)

[@ashreenverma4352]

I’m from India and following you long time you are awesome love you thanks for giving us your time and experience thanks again

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Now THAT is so cool!!! India!! Awesome! Thank you! :)

[@eugeniagallardo7098]

Very happy to see you again!!!!! Beautiful block as always

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you very much! :)

[@christinaadams7093]

I love all the blocks and hope to catch up soon!!!!! I have watched you make all the blocks but I have not had time to review them again for measurements. Thank you for doing these!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Ok! Thanks for that!

[@serenefarr3666]

Been following along with the block party since you started, the timing is great for me even my husband asks what the new block looks like, we get your tuterials early monday morning being in australia,and i can usually get the block done before work if iam on afternoons. I havnt been submitting photos of my blocks as i was going to wait till the quilt was completed before posting a photo.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Aw, bless your hubby!! You get them on Monday....soo you can tell me what they look like before I post them!!! LOL! LOL!! And I am keeping it at once a week. That way I won't get bored either! :)

[@suziemains2128]

I really enjoy your channel. Keep on going girl!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I intend to ! Thank you!

[@patriciachevalier7526]

Jean glad to see you up and about. I am way behind on blocks, I was down sick with the flu, I thought I would never feel human again. My daughter and her hubby came to visit me and they were delayed going home, big snow storm in R.i they did enjoy the beautiful weather here in Florida. I will get to sewing.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

You poor thing....that Flu was the Worst!! :) Nice you are in warm climates....can recuperate in the warmth! Take it steady and feel better!:)

[@beverleysimmons8080]

You are priceless love your videos girl just seen your quilt with a 9 patch gorgeous feel well relax

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you! Just love this easy peasy block! :)

[@chickad5820]

Awesome job as ALWAYS, Jean. Thanks

[@chickad5820]

I HAD TO come back and add to my comment. The pictures at the end of your video are priceless. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful family. It's in the 70's here during the day so it was a shock to see ur snow. Reality that I don't watch the news enough, right? Beautiful pics, thanks again

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Aw thanks so much! So pleased you love these videos of mine! :) That makes me happy! :)

[@ladyduce00]

As many have said already so good to see that you are feeling better but just don't overdo. Love the block this week and I can do this one. ;0) as far as timing on when to come out with your blocks I think that it should be your choice after all we can go back and rewatch at any time. I think Kris Morris summed it up nicely. Thank you for all that you do and am really glad your better.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you so much ~ I'm not 100% and really taking it easy, hence the easy BLock 12~~ I think Block 11 beat us all up a bit!! :) Thanks for your concern! :)

[@faithjohnson]

Happy Easter Jean to you and your family.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

We are having a lovely day, thank you! :) All the best!

[@faithjohnson]

Hello jean so glad to see you back, and that you're feeling better, and I'm happy for you. But still you should take it easy. I did finish my block #11, oh boy glad it's done. Now #12 lol , I'm ready. Thanks jean.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Yea, Yea....I heard you....that darned Block 11!!!! LOL!

[@alisonlee4723]

Because you asked ! weekly block is fine with me. So glad to see you looking so much better but look after yourself :0) If it is more convenient to change the timing of blocks I am game for anything LOL !!!!!!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Nah....keeping it at every Sunday!! :) THank you!

[@donnaschulz91]

Thanks for telling us about Project Linus. I'm retired so have lots of time to play in my sewing room making lots of UFOs. Enjoy donating and have made several Cross Body purses for the Sew Powerful project. The Rare Bear organization never sent the tag that has to be sewn to bear. Guess I'll give cute bear to a great niece. Really like the small quilt you show at end of tutorial. I have several packs of gorgeous Batik layer cakes and charm packs that would make pretty disappearing 9 patch quilts to donate.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Good for you! So much happiness in giving! :) Thanks for that!

[@kaylaing9595]

So glad you are better, Jean!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Not 100% but much better, thank you! :)

[@jedlinnen6528]

when you finish it, Jean, you will be capable of anything!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Able maybe,...but not so willing! :)

[@dorrisdale6269]

I don't know about others, but I think your timing is fine. I have been following and making the blocks, but have not submitted any pictures. I just don't like submitting pictures. Love your tutorials, and your sharing. Thank You.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Great! Thank you for your input! And you are very welcome:)

[@donnarichey144]

Missed you so much, glad you are doing better. Love your top Keep doing them, I haven't started any, I am making your table runner right now I saw on some of the quilting groups said you have to watch the jelly rolls that they are not 2 1/2. I measured one I have and is not 2 1/2. They said by Jordan fabrics they are cut correctly.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

You have to be careful with some jelly rolls ~ as you found out! You are making the 'twisted pole' runner, aren't you?? That is a pretty one also! :)

[@siglindeweber85]

Thank you for showing this beautyful block! It's easy, but it looks great, really perfect for a quick gift! I'm very glad to see you well again! 😁Sometimes I make a small quilt from scraps or blocks I tried for my cat, because she loves to sleep on a quilt at night. 😸

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

This is SUCH an easy quick block and it makes up beautifully, like you say, for a quick runner or gift! :) Or most importantly, your Cat!! :)

[@mariawasinski9140]

Love your Cannel Hello from Germany

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Hello from the USA!! :)

[@keepthefaith1912]

Well..I hope to start blocks after I finish some kitchen projects..so glad you finished(?)

[@shelleyclark4759]

Keep them coming! I’ve had a couple busy weeks but will get caught up soon. Sorry I haven’t sent photos.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Stat!!! They will keep on comin'!! :)

[@eveward3463]

TBH why I haven't, my parkinson acted up and I would love you to continue once a week. BUT & HOWEVER!!!, I want what is best for you. Jean, just pls take care of yourself. Please be careful! If too much is for you - say SOOOO!!!!!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Votes are in! Sunday Block of the Week WINS!! :)

[@hazelgiles7058]

Pleased your feeling better jean love what your doing each week keep it up

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Yup! That is what I will continue to do! Thanks so much! :)

[@maryschutte8368]

Hurray! you're feeling better! I look forward to new blocks eagerly, so whatever works best for you is just fine. They're not too frequent, I'm just choosing not to do some of them right now. I do enjoy looking at everyone's blocks; some of the work is positively inspiring! P.S. Did I hear you say "First day of Spring we got 13 inches of SEW"??!! You are the best.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I actually like the idea of once a week - I too would be bored to death waiting waiting waiting for a silly quilt block ~ once a month! So yes I will continue with that. I am just SO SO impressed with every bodies blocks! So you go my little plug of 'Sew'?!?!?! LOL!

[@beckywilkerson5098]

So glad your feeling better

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Not 100% but much better, thank you!

[@eirlyshuws3265]

well hello, so glad to see back with the living, and feeling better. Now this block has the thumbs up from me :) but, just want to say, you cant please all of the people all of the time. Some of your followers like to make difficult and some do not. Take me !!!! I like it simple and quick :/ At the moment I have 8 blocks, woooops, don't tell. I will make it up, like you mentioned the log cabin...I can make a log cabin that takes no measuring!!!! simple, that's me :/ as for e.mailing photos, I have not got round to doing this like many others but we are still here following along. I'm babling now, must get it from you LOL. The weather !!!! there is a mention of snow over easter, it has happened in the past, wait and see,

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I'm going to try and show an EASY log cabin method, using a large center square and more of a scrappy method. Thanks so much for your concern...I have survived! :) The weather is still chilly but Spring is coming soon! :) Not here yet! :)

[@Clearymartin]

Welcome Spring lol - love that image - perfect.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Seriously!!! :)

[@tigbit]

So happy you're feeling better! Personally, I love your timing. It doesn't take that long to make a block even with a busy schedule. Waiting for one per month would be torturous! Haha! As for why the pictures have been tapering off, there are probably a few reasons. One, I think it's the nature of anything that people tend to start things and not finish them. It's the same reason why the gyms are crowded in January but empty in March. Secondly, I think it's been a while since you've mentioned your website or the fact that you'd enjoy seeing block pictures; people might need a reminder of what to do. I try to take pictures of mine but sometimes Sunday comes and goes and I forget. :)

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thanks for the input! I think you are right....you die hard followers will just DO IT! I was just wondering if people were getting fed up with ME.....my word, I can understand THAT! LOL!!!

Jenny from the Missouri Star Quilt Company has written a disappearing 9 patch pattern and has done a tutorial on it. Yours is pretty cool as well. Very nice work and god bless y'all.

[@dianne57m.shifthappens73]

Jean I like your videos you're very sweet and you do the best that you know how it's very hard for an advanced quilter to go down back to the level of a beginner and so it was difficult for you to see that block as a beginner so I hope that in the future you will do one of these for intermediate because that's kind of the level I am but I am an intermediate level so yeah super super easy thanks for all you do and don't take it to heart because it was difficult for some they don't realize just how difficult it is to go backwards but having said that I am Joy doing a simple block or to make a quick quilts just for the ease of enjoying your sewing not being so worried about getting everything just right. I think having to struggle and learn all the time kind of takes the fun out of using what you've already learned so it's always nice to go back and do that sweet simple block get it all quilted and everything so you can sit back and enjoy what you have made

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I think you are correct ~ I'll throw in a bit of a challenging one now and then.........beginners have to sometimes just jump in and DO IT!!! :)

[@susangoodin2631]

beautiful Jean! I didn’t know Walmart sold charmpacks! Mine doesn’t, they sell single fat quarters I know.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Our little WarMart only sells single fat quarters, but a super WalMart down the road carries a SUPER line of pre cuts, and yardage! There solids are truly wonderful! :)

[@nadinecamara5123]

Loved this block! In fact I made 2! 💐

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Great job!

[@toniwilson9533]

You look much better so glad on this palm Sunday

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you very much! Feeling better! :)

[@donnarichey144]

Yes the twisted table runner.I had a problem took a pressure foot off my sewing machine and the adaptor came off. I tried for days to put it on and my fingers and hands can't hold anything I was so upset. I watched videos and looked in my book. The screw that held it on was on the right. All videos showed it was on the right. I asked my husband and he got it on, screw was on the left. hE GOT IT ON SO HAPPY. wIll work on it today.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

So pleased it got fixed! Nothing more annoying!!

[@cgmonooso]

I like a block a week. I enjoy it.

[@beverleysimmons8080]

Just keep going love it all

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Will do!

[@lisalove8695]

I'm loving this block! Cant wait to make it for my block for our "bock party". I want to make my sister a smaller quilt with this block..by any chance do you know the size square to start with to make a 9" block?

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Oh dear...Have you been following me?!?!? If you do, you would know I am TOTALLY useless at math! I wouldn't have a clue how to 'size this block' down! So Sorry!! :/ But thank you anyway! :) Good luck finding someone who can REALLY help you!!! :)

[@marisolponte5319]

Hola Jean que bueno que ya estás bien. Te quería pedir si se puede que cuando des un block escribas en un papel las medidas y así se puede ver en diferido . Gracias todo lo que haces es una belleza

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you! I have written the measurements for each piece/unit and explain the measurements again in the video. Hope this helps! :) Thank you!

[@booomanchu]

Thinking this sampler would be perfect for a quilt as you go quilt to practice my ruler work. 🤔🤔🤔 The problem is I'm trying to finish my UFOs! My current UFO has black thread and my next in line is tan thread, and the fabric I want to use for this will use white. Hmmm, I really want to do this! Should I break out my Kenmore and have two projects going at once!!?? Oh the dilemma!!!

[@booomanchu]

P. S. I love this entire video, especially the end. Made me smile 😊❤

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you! I don't particularly like the 'quilt as you go' method, because of the finishing up part/sashing/etc. But if you like that, then GO For it!!! :) I know....so many quilts...so little time! :) THank you for watching! :)

[@gammaem627]

Silly me, I can't find you web page. Link please? I did it wrong last week, but like it. I will send a picture of my "sprocket" block. Lol I have to redo the block though, and this week is the week from hell. I am just slow on getting done; I am in it to work n it and love weekly blocks! I don't like monthly, as I would forget or lose blocks. I know me! Glad you are better! Take care sweet lady!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

www.thewhateverquiltclub.com and send pics to me at [e-mail]! Thanks so much!

[@vickythatcher]

Wish I had seen this earlier would of loved to done it

[@serenefarr3666]

vicky thatcher it wouldnt take you long to catch up most are very easy.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

True that! :)

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Just take one at a time!! Easy and fun! :) No pressure! :) And if you don't enjoy it ~ don't do it! :)

[@beverleysimmons8080]

I love it but scare in cutting part can we do a quilt like that lol

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Not scary! Easy! Just go for it! :)

[@eveward3463]

Jean, your scissors are attached to something?? Am I right? Teach me if you do. I have made pockets to go under my sewing machine and made it to fit my scissors.Do look at the 7/8" Ruler at Shabby Fabrics. Its really nice.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I tie my scissors to the power cord to the right of my machine with a long cord ~ even if they drop on the ground, easy to pull up the cord ~ they never go walkabout! :) I checked out that ruler ~ a super buy for under $20!!

[@elsafischer3247]

Do you know more or less how big it will be. Thank you from Switzerland 🇨🇭

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

If I decide to just make the quilt with sashing and NO BORDERS, it will end up about 58" x 76" or something like that.

[@sylviavega-ortiz3006]

Have the measurements for cutting all the blocks been updated on the website?

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

So behind on that....sorry!! :/

[@sylviavega-ortiz3006]

Please no worries! I know you have been under the weather. Personally, I am confined to bed with a broken left leg and a broken right ankle so it will be a while before I can sew anyway! Thought I would give myself a project by writing all the information on index cards so I will be organized and ready to start all your lovely blocks. In the meantime I can enjoy your WONDERFUL AND HIGHLY ENTERTAINING tutorials! Much Love and Many Blessings.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Oh no! You don't have a leg to stand on!!!! LOL!! OH NO....Sorry about that!!! (sick sense of humor) Seriously, though, please take care! There is a nice lady who is putting the instructions down on paper but I just have to get them Onto my webpage. Anyway, until I manage that, you can always refer back to the tutorials/videos. I try to explain in as much detail as possible. Again, please take care of yourself!! How terrible!! :( Don't like this...)

[@lizryan6289]

Happy you are better.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

[@hazelgiles7058]

Are you using charm packs

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

For the 'practice' block I used charm packs ~ but for my sampler quilt itself I have been using fat quarters and yardage

[@momgrandma5496]

The small quilt is sweet.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]
