Great lessons and adorable quilt!!!!

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Thanks Gail! Also thank you for watching my videos!

Nice baby quilt. I did a similar quilt, but sewed my matching HST into blocks of 4. It’s a lot easier than trying to get the right order in rows. Love that primary colours are red, yellow blue where you are, the rest of the world includes green lol

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Seriously?!? Because as you and I know green is made from mixing blue and yellow which makes it a secondary color🤣💚📗🦠🔋📟🤣🤣 You know I didn’t think of sewing the HST’s into a block, that would have been easier. Thanks for watching my channel and commenting😊‼️

[@marlenesalamandyk878]

Thank you, it's a great quilt. Have fun at your retreat

[@sisterchicksquilting]

[@tiffanycollier54]

Beautiful quilt and great idea! I have some blue and grey fabric that will work well for that pattern! But really any color would work, thank you!

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Yes, any color will work and any color will change up the mood the quilt sets. Thanks for watching‼️

[@dbeckman6329]

Love your “Pin” method for matching squares! Thanks for the color review.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Thank you, it’s saved me lots of time. Thank you for watching 😍

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

I like that pin matching trick, and that's a beautiful quilt. I'll have to make some hsts to play with. Thank-you.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

The pin matching saves me so much time. Thanks for watching, long live HST’s😍❣️

Will do and I’m getting a lot of rest too😴😴😴 TFE❣️

[@notesfromleisa-land]

Love this monochromatic scheme. Trimming on the seam line SAVES so much time, and it is so accurate. You are saving 50% of your time in cutting. I would likely deploy the eight at a time method for these blocks. Smart chick on your garanimal pinning method. (P.S. I have those same snips which I put on a lanyard.). Everyone should have a triangle ruler that has lines perpendicular to the diagonal AND with the appropriate marks (I like to have 1/4" marks). Some just 1/2 " marks. So much easier than trying to use a regular square ruler with the 45 on the edge. You have to look edge to edge, and it is so much less of a clear visual. Have fun on your retreat!

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Thanks for chiming in with your good tips. I appreciate you watching 😍❣️

[@patbferguson]

I love this little quilt! So cute! I have been paying attention to your pinning method, but I was sondering if you have made a video that really teaches all the ins and outs of your method. I get so turned around sometimes about which way and what to put together! You really have it figured it out down to a science!

[@sisterchicksquilting]

The video I’m making currently for this Friday has a very clear lesson on my colored pin method. You asked just in the Nick of time😍

[@omisfavorites1054]

It’s a great quilt! I love blue and white. Not sure I’d love all monochromatic quilts, but this one is not only easy, it’s beautiful.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Thank you, I think it’s going to be a hit for this new mama💙 TFW

[@dianabarker3815]

Thank you for posting this video. You made it really easy. I am now going to make this quilt. Thank you ☺️

[@sisterchicksquilting]

This is really easy, it may “go to” baby quilt for a while. TFW❣️

I love the QIAD half square triangle ruler. I have all 3 sizes. Great color demo.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Thanks, and TFW❣️

Thank you Di for another color lesson. I love the simplicity of the quilt. It is so pretty and calming at the same time. Sounds like your gonna have a blast at the retreat! Looking forward to the video.❤️

Congratulations on 10K subs! I noticed it and was excited for you! 💙 🤗

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Thanks for noticing‼️ I’m pretty excited‼️TFW😍

[@lyndagodin3712]

I love this quilt and hadn't realized the calming effect of a monochromatic colour pallet. I seldom buy fat quarters, and assumed they were mostly used for intricate, smaller cutting and piecing, so my stash is mostly layer cakes and charm packs. Who knew that 8 fat quarters would produce such a lovely quilt. I do now! Thanks again for sharing, and have a blast at your retreat!

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Thanks Lynda, we’re probably having too much fun. Glad you liked the quilt💙❣️

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

A fat quarter is very versatile, at around 18" by 22" or half of the wof. You can cut a 10" strip and get 2 squares with a bit left over, cut a 5" strip, for 4 charm squares, and still have a 2 1/2" strip for small squares. You can add a colour to pre-cuts, or cut two 2 1/2" strips to mimic one jelly roll strip, 1 fq can make 3 1/2 jelly roll size strips. 1/4 yard can't give you quite so many large pieces, so this works out, just that bit better. You can make your own pre-cuts, or cut up a lot of small squares, for leaders and enders or bonus quilts, use up "ugly fabrics," for scrappy quilts. (10" + 5" + 2 1/2"= 17 1/2") or (10" + 5 1/2" + 2 3/4" = 18 1/4")You can cut 5 1/2" squares for a 4-patch to go with 10" squares, 2 3/4" does a 4-patch to fit with 5 1/2" squares. I like odd pieces for sample blocks etc., to see if I like doing them, before I cut up the really nice fabrics. All the options blew my mind when I heard of them first. Have fun.

[@lyndagodin3712]

@@kathleenmayhorne3183 Wow, thank you for doing all that calculation for me! I have looked at fat quarters and always thought you should buy the whole collection for a cohesive look. But now I realise what you can do with just a handful of them. Thanks, Kathleen, for enlightening me!

[@CCCfeinman55]

Great discussion of color combining techniques! Also love the quilt. Some baby will rest easy!

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Thanks 🥰

Thank for the info on different color quilts. Your baby quilt is very pretty. I’ll have to try making a monochromatic quilt after I finish a few quilts I’m working on. Have a fun time on your retreat Di and go a little crazy 😜💕

I have trouble keeping the line on the stitch line (old eyes, I guess) so I use the Bloc-Loc ruler for squaring up. We just have to use the tools that work for us. Your baby quilt is so lovely. Thank you

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Those are great rulers too❣️ I’ll get there soon enough 😂

[@donnacox2194]

Love, love,love this simple quilt. I will have to make one. What is the background low volume print you used? I am a blue person so this quilt stole my heart.❤️. Enjoy your videos very much, I have learned some very important Tips about color and visual interest. Thank you so much Sister Chick 🐥

[@sisterchicksquilting]

You’re so welcome Donna. It was just a light gray with printed crosses. I didn’t save the selvedge so I would know, sorry. There are so many choices out there you’re quite will be beautiful. Thanks for watching my videos 😍❣️

Love the Quilt in a Day ruler. Just used it yesterday squaring up 48 blocks. Love your baby quilt. Are you putting a border on it? Just curious.

No border, I want the modern look.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

What about cutting up men’s dress shirts from a thrift store? Then you would only have to come up with the background or solid fabric. Could you use an old sheet? Also from the thrift store. I always loved repurposing fabric from clothing. Thanks for watching😊❤️🐥
