This very simple block makes my heart SO happy. I hope you love it too. Maybe you can give it a try and see. It's a great way to dip your toes into improvisational quilting.

Oh I do love a "wonky" (on purpose) block! Your bed quilt is gorgeous!

[@SC-hj3hr]

I wish I could give another thumbs up for re-watching this. Love the method and result. TFS

[@kathyworkman1678]

Beautiful quilt ❤. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing your tips. Your mind works like mine. If I don’t pin my rows together it never works!! I have learned a lot from you. 🎉

[@merrymabelmarket]

Thank you for your sweet comment.

[@vangiebrake2295]

I thought at 72 my patchwork days were over, but this is a fantastic way to do patchwork without silly stuff. Very beautiful with no fuss. Thank you

[@amyberg1413]

Love the-away from the odd, toward the even. I always press them wrong! Love this quilt pattern.

[@alchemyarts3490]

Another wonderful video! Your bedspread is delightful!!! I love the almost-ness of all the triangle sizes, it makes for such a quietly interesting pattern. There's comfort in that organic array. So beautiful.

[@fransak2723]

I love your tricks for keeping the rows and columns in order. Also love your odds and even sayings. Things like that always help me to remember! Thanks. For some reason I feel compelled to save every triangle “ cut off” Now I know what to do with them.

I love this quilt! I also love your process of sewing everything together and keeping everything organized. I have a ton of scraps so I will make this. Maybe a small throw to start. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@merrymabelmarket]

Yes, this is a pattern I have returned to several times. It's so sweet and happy!

[@soffyabad]

Oh my you are not just perfection, you are cleverness with so much fun, really. You make all much more easier, also you pick so nice fabrics too.

[@merrymabelmarket]

Thank you so much 😀

[@QUILTINGCHAP]

What great tips for sewing squares together to make rows!

[@susyk6839]

Thank you for showing this old dog a new trick! Can't wait to get started!

[@PoptartParasol]

I'm 22 with 1 child and another on the way. I have never sewn by machine or made a quilt, but your videos make it seem really fun!! Can't wait to try your tricks out once I've scouted out my machine (and find the time :p haha)! Thank you for your lovely videos

[@merrymabelmarket]

Quilting kept me sane as a young mother. Small snatches or time.... but better than therapy. (I had and raised 6 children.) Carving out time to create really was worth it to me. Best wishes!!

[@phyllischaluisant4902]

I sew exactly like you do. Pin each row and do like every 3 pieces. You are great to watch. Just found you today. Started with your kind of bargello and the trip and just keep going. It’s pouring in NY today.

[@merrymabelmarket]

Welcome!! So glad to be hanging out with you!

[@margaretbaker623]

Two lovely quilts! Thank you for showing them. ⚘️

[@loricrawford6741]

Thanks for sharing your process- it inspires me to work on a quilt a littler more challenging than I have made before. My sewing time is inconsistent- comes in spurts- so the tips for keeping the blocks in order are especially useful.

[@mollyb9757]

Such a perfect quilt. I just love it. I will use my kids and hubbys shirts. Thanks for sharing.

[@merrymabelmarket]

That sounds like such a FUN idea!

[@windycityliz7711]

Love this! Has the pattern and continuity of a pattern without the fussy measuring. As soon as I finish the 3 tops I've got going. Really happy I found your channel and your fun approach to quilting.

[@merrymabelmarket]

Sounds great!

[@maryannsimms7189]

Beautiful bed quilt. Wonderful idea, going to do this soon, I have way too much scrap. Thanks

[@MaryH-tp3ht]

You’ve got some great habits that really speed things up. Love the little wonky triangle blocks.

[@merrymabelmarket]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@DH-qz2so]

Your videos are so enjoyable to watch! Love your style, the editing, your vibe...it is just so fun!

[@merrymabelmarket]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@katet.3543]

I love this! Thank you for taking the time to make a video of this, which takes a lot of time in itself - I hope to do this with my scraps one day!

[@merrymabelmarket]

Please do!

[@guadalupeblakey9926]

Oh my goodness thank you. So beautiful. I love it.

[@eleanorwittering3126]

I like your "pin the rows" together *idea!* So simple but this is the first time I've heard of it. Thank you! (I've decided to use this pattern to make a *Memory Quilt!* Such a great idea--and, the fabric underneath the scrappy triangles that is left in place will substantiate/support the used/older memory fabrics! The design is elegant, not unsophisticated--so I'm sure it will become a prized heirloom! Thank you!)

[@merrymabelmarket]

That's a great idea!

[@eleanorwittering3126]

@@merrymabelmarket It's pretty quick piecing, I'm finding. My goal is a queensize, 812 blocks (3.5" (1/4" seams calculated)), I've already completed 250. That's pretty quick!

[@juliekoone3569]

What a great way to use scraps! Thank you for another great video

[@merrymabelmarket]

Thank you. There are ten so far.

[@destrygraves]

I love this idea so much. It’s both a scrap quilt and not. I imagine myself cutting all of the blocks needed to make a quilt from solid varieties of one color and then just adding any scraps along the way. Leaders. A couple thrown in at the beginning or end of a sewing session until I have used all of the solid blocks. Oh I love this idea. Thank you for sharing.

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

Stunning. Thanks so much.

[@SBL1932]

Beautiful. Well demonstrated. I will try this. Love it

This is my 3 rd video. Your tips sewin together makes so much since. I don’t know why I never thought to pin. I get so confused at this stage. Thanks so much

[@melindafisher1584]

This is a wonderful idea! I am going to read down through the comments to see what other variations folks are doing. Thank you for sharing your idea. Love it. This is like a vintage quilt that would have been made to use up scraps.
