Making a Square in a Square Quilt Block - Two Ways

There are 2 ways of making a Square in a Square quilt block, and I'm going to show you both ways. One takes more fabric, but one requires a custom ruler.
When making without the custom ruler,
* cut your larger square 1/2" larger than your finished block size.
** For example, for a 6.5" finished block, start with 7" square.
* cut your smaller squares based on your finished block size, divided by 2, and add a 1/2"
** For example, for a 6.5" finished block, 6.5"/2 + .5" = 3.75"

You are so fun! Don’t you know many KZbin instructors mess up but scrap that and re-film it to make it perfect. I love how you just keep on going realizing if you (a professional) get it wrong, you can bet I (a new quilter) will do it too. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I’ve learned so much from you and thank you so much for not putting music on your excellent videos.

Hi Wendy, as usual I really enjoyed your video. I love your videos for a number of reasons, they are clear, easy to follow, you provide options as well as telling us what you normally do and why as well as keep your oopsies in showing us newbies even the pros can have an off day or few minutes. Thanks so much for what you do and keep it up.

[@WendyJHaney]

Thank you so much for letting me know how much you enjoy my videos. 😍 I'm glad you enjoy them and thank you so much for watching. I love quilting, but I'm sure in heck not perfect!!! You'll get a good laugh out of the one coming out on Friday. 😂

[@hume6900]

@@WendyJHaney, nobody says you have to be perfect and I am so glad and grateful that you’re not. I’m really looking forward to Friday’s video. See you then. Hugs

[@WendyJHaney]

That is what I want to teach new quilters - it doesn't need to be perfect!! Enjoye it, don't stress over it!! 💕 Hugs!! Stay warm if you're somewhere getting all the cold... oh wait!!! We got the cold here in TN too... 27 this morning. But at least no snow!!!!

[@user-ss1ou6qt4h]

Wonderful! You're welcome and thanks for watching

[@jennifermeyer1412]

I need to make a finished block 11” with 3 different colors. Customer wants 3 block in block square. What size block should I start with??

[@WendyJHaney]

I'll take a look at this after work and see what we can figure out. Not sure I'm following 'wants 3 block in block square'. I'm assuming you'll be using 1 color for the middle square and then 2 colors for your corners, right?

[@carynmulder1809]

What kind of marking pen was that

[@WendyJHaney]

Thanks for catching that I didn't put that in the Description.. and I just did. Mine is much older, but it is a Sewline mechanical pencil which I can change out the lead with different colors. Mine usually has white or pink lead in it. Use it a lot!!! Here is a link to is: amzn.to/3QgXK82 Thanks for watching!

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

I would love to do this but 25$ for a ruler is way out of my budget.

[@WendyJHaney]

I get it. Can do without also.
