[@elliamorphid6282]

For everyone like me who cannot find the quilt pattern anywhere I've written out everything! I just got into sewing so I don't know terms but I've done my best to explain. Take two fat quarters, ironed, and fold it hamburger style. Trim one edge so you have a clean side. Then cut one 5" strip, two 4.5" strips, and one 2.5" strip which will late be used for binding. Scrap the tidbits leftover. Cut your 5" strip into three 5" square sets. Use your remainder fabric into 2.5" square sets. Cut your 4.5" strips into six 4.5" square sets. Once again use your remainder to cut 2.5" square sets. To make the two full quilt blocks you will need in total- three 5" square sets, six 4.5" square sets, eight 2.5" square sets. You will have a strip of 2.5" to use later as a border for your quilt if you wish. Hope this helps someone out!!!

🙌🏼 THANK YOU!

[@_annacamille_]

Hi Angela I am 12 years old and have watched almost all your videos and they always inspire me. I tried free motion quilting and I LOVE it! It’s my favorite part of the quilt. And I also have a sugar craving so don’t feel guilty 😂 plus I don’t get how your so calm at midnight!

[@8machines62]

I love your humor! Don’t change a thing. There are always boring tutorials people can watch! Thank you, Angela Walters!!

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

Aww thanks so much!

[@madebyzheng]

Bonjour, love your sense of humor,don’t change please! Love your every video Angela!

[@elizabethc2699]

Not sure what I like best- the quilts, the commentary, or the groovy music! Love your shirt too!

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

Awww thanks so much!!

[@pamharmon9354]

Pretty quilting and quilt. Love the way you quilt. You make look so easy. Takes a lot of practice. But for you, it just looks you are a natural

[@archivist68]

Well, I am very late to the party, but I laughed so hard I almost....never mind! The kale salad comment followed by the wrappers did me in. Keep it going!

[@Tami_from_Texas]

I am cracking up - I love your sense of humor. I can relate to your analogy of water to your bobbin running out, lol! I love milky way dark and baby ruth's - hehehee. Thanks for all your videos.

[@elisagalery1598]

I love this pattern and the quilting of course. Angela, don't ever lose your humour and how you make quilting about having fun. Don't pay attention to the negative people. Thank you for your great videos!

[@beckypetersen2680]

Milky Way from those three choices - but I could watch you quilt all day, Angela - quilting. It's mesmerizing. Thanks (not piecing - don't really care for watching people piece) - but I adore watching the quilting - it is a real gift how you seem to just know where to go next. Thanks for sharing all that information so freely.

[@joleenlower2877]

I like the “feel good” feeling I get with ur kidding around. It puts a giggle in my heart. You’re fantastic!! Keep up the great work!

[@sandygagnon9537]

Drove me crazy with her antics

[@sheilabutler5264]

Hi Angela I do enjoy your shows on You Tube as I live in the uk this is the only way to see them keep quilting.

[@nanab573]

Love the t-shirt "Can't we all just Quilt Along". Love your humor ... as well as your work!

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

Geez, it seems like I picked the perfect shirt for this episode

[@gabriellemoulin7509]

Hello. I needed a video like yours to cheer me up because my son just had brain surgery and the end of the day was a little bit tough. Thank you !!

[@bobbieparsons1917]

You are such a funny egg Angela. My favourite is you. Thank you for your light hearted posts that you manage to inject with such personality yet are chock full of detail. Never boring and always informative. You rock!!!!!

[@marymurphy3578]

There are sooooo many serious quilting tutorials out there, but just remember ......there's only ONE Angela Walters. Keep your groove girl!!! Because of you and your new tutorials on quilting, I now have the confidence to quilt my 7 quilt tops. They may not be perfect, but at least now they're not in a UFO box! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and for taking the time to do so in your busy life. Working moms really rock!Please know that there ARE fans out there who appreciate your efforts. You have "homies" all around the world who have your back!!! Hugs from Ireland xxx

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

Thanks so much! We all need pep talks every now and then....me included ;)

[@debfitzgerald7390]

Twix or M & Ms for the sweet and Cheetos for salty. I so look forward to your videos, you are a hoot - laughter and sewing, so good for the soul. Love those stars.

[@loxleybattle2591]

Angela, you are a breath of fresh air- I love your lack of perfectionism- or at least a healthy fight against it if it is there! I too often let the perfect be the enemy of the good and then never finish OR if I do, I’m utterly exhausted! Thank you for making it fun! I appreciate your work!!

[@stevansilva9821]

I bought the Milky Way Bali Hai kit from Craftsy and am so happy to have this video to work from in doing my project. Thank you for your happy, funny tutorials.

[@klthomas9816]

Jalepeño cheetos and a Heath bar with a Dr. Pepper 10. I love star quilts. This one is adorable and so are you Angela!

[@clashawnlee]

My daughter Gianna wants to thank you for writing a book for kids with your daughter Cloe. She is so excited to start a project.

[@karencheney2347]

why are there 25 people who don't like these videoes-who are they-I love you!!!

[@vickiserre9457]

This Quilt looks like my Grandmother made in "the Old days!" I can't wait to make it this winter.💜😉

[@jessicarae-annpetersen1602]

I made a baby quilt with this fabric a few months ago for a friend and bought extra to make another for me. I even used some of the same quilting designs I got from you from other episodes! I love this fabric and am so jazzed you use it for another awesome quilt design. Thank you for inspiring novice quilters!

[@conniecephus8128]

I love the midnight quilt show and look forward to it on Wednesday evenings after my guild meeting. I was shocked when there was no mojo juice! What! it will not be the same. Sure enough, you proved that a little mojo goes a long way...it doesn't work for me, but it does for others. Please keep doing the show with mojo juice and snacks, it's part of the fun. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@anaf.848]

Ok, you got me; I just HAD to order this kit. The design looks fun and easy for me as a beginner quilter, and above all, I LOVE this fabric. Oh my goodness; I can't get enough of the cute fabric. I'm going to make this quilt for my daughter's 1st birthday. This should be a treasured gift for sure. Thanks for sharing Angela; I appreciate your fun videos.

[@sadiejosiemom]

Milky Way has always been my favorite! Really cute quilt!!

[@maryrose6302]

So many quilts so little time! But just keep them coming please some day I'll have more time. Milky Ways. When I was a kid I would eat the bottom first and save the caramel for last!

[@suzanmenihan1634]

LOVE this quilt! Love it so much I just ordered the kit with LOTS of extra fabric to make it in a queen size. I've decided this is the one... it really is...this is it....the quilt that I'm actually going to try and machine quilt. I've been practicing after watching all of your quilting classes on Craftsy. I bought an HQStitch 710 machine and keep watching your machine quilting classes and all of the MQS's. You''ve inspired me to finally take the plunge! I'm really gonna do it! Now I just need to wait for my Craftsy order to come! Thanks for all the inspiration. Can't believe I'm finally gonna do it!!!

[@KarensSelfemployJourney]

Beautiful quilt! I'm glad you brought the wine back.

[@brigraphics]

Angela, this is probably one of my most favorite quilts you’ve made in the midnight night quilt show, it almost looks like the “La Conner Stars” quilt! Also please do a Orange Peel quilt, they are beautiful!

[@susanvoth5831]

Milky Way Midnight is my favorite commercial chocolate, very favorite Chocolove (xoxox) most flavors. FYI - love this quilt, going to check out the pattern on Craftsy. Thank you Angela for sharing... everything.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Angela. I really really love 💕 this block and quilt. It’s really really stunning and gorgeous and I really really love 💕 your sense of humour ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ You make your tutorials really really fun. xxx Mags.

[@lucilleball5970]

I am always so anxious to watch your show and you in action! Your cutups are fantastic and we need laughter in such a serious world we now live in, so thanks for your wonderful way of bringing a laugh to all of us while we learn at the same time. Love this quilt and the colors and I really like the quilting. Can't get enough of The Midnight Quilt Show, just the BEST! Thanks again. Claudia

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

Aww, thanks so much for watching! I can't tell you how much I appreciate the support!

[@dianaentsminger2859]

Angela I love you videos! I am learning so many things. Love your jokes too, keep doing it. The other comment was truly mean spirited. Most quilters are sweeties just like you. Your fun and imaginative and very talented. Quilting is beautiful.

[@plcouch]

Angela, you are a joy to watch. Your personality is what makes me believe I can do this. Thanks for all you do.

[@SmittenKitten.]

When I cut out sugars and carbs on a diet a few years ago, the first week was hard on me (soooo tired), the second week was hard on my husband (I found out he was losing more weight than I was, and I found out he was CHEATING and eating DONUTS on his way to work!! I made him pay...). Now I've decided that if I want to eat unhealthily for a time, I will, and if I want to eat healthily, I _might_ .... Love this quilt, Angela! The colors are beautiful, and the quilting is exquisite.

[@karinabak3993]

Love, love, love! M&M's, because they melt in your mouth not in (on) your hands. 😉 This fabric and quilt are going on my list of must makes. Thanks!

[@vickydruge6396]

I love the design and the dark/light arrangement. I want to try this quilt in sunset colors with black and aqua! I loved the theme, lol! Everyone’s been there seems like 😊 you have made my quilting fun and my love for it has grown, not dwindled, like I thought it might when I first started (about 3 years ago).

[@natashalindner2059]

I thought of you on the weekend when I had a glass of wine and then quilted for the very first time, I loved the effect of wine on my confidence, and the results - Wow, and only one glass of wine is required :-)

[@rozspina3883]

I enjoy the sprinkling of humor! It keeps the information flow light hearted.

[@leslielee2375]

Thank you, Angela, for bringing endless free quilting tutorials to so many quilters! You have changed the way we approach this art. I have piles of unfinished quilts because I was watching too many tutorials that made me think my sewing was terrible. Maybe it is, but I love it and it helps me unwind after all my stressful days at work! Your humor and constant reminders that close enough is good enough have brought back my joy! Heck, I bet watching you is helping to lower my blood pressure! You are amazing, putting so much time into helping others! And I think your humor reflects the fact that you love life. I would bet you’re also an amazing mom!

[@susanreinarz8373]

This is a seriously sunny, happy quilt! Thank you for another wonderful video tutorial. Milky Way!

[@sonjamuller6263]

cannot wait to make this! thank you for sharing! I'm new to quilting with my mom's 50 year old machine but it has a free stitching foot I just discovered whupwhup :D and thank you for the spray glue tip it saves me sooo much headaches ;) many greetings from Germany

[@MarciaBaker1205]

You are so much fun to watch Angela! Granola is full of carbs! Always a pleasure to watch & learn! You're hilarious!

[@charlenesoares1367]

I thought the same thing about the granola, was trying to see how it could not be carbs.

[@pamrossmann3873]

angela, you actually make me laugh out loud. and sometimes with life challenges you forget how that feels! you are so darn cute. I am slowly accumulating your rulers and am learning so much from you with the challenge. Thanks so much for brightening my day!

[@lyricalstorms]

Twix is my favorite because I eat it in layers and feel like i'm getting more than one treat. Lol Beautiful quilt! Thank you Angela.

[@Craftysheila]

I love your tutorials! You have helps me so much! I started making quilts just over a year and quilting a year ago this month!!! And I've followed you all the way!! You've helped me relax and just do it! I always tell people to watch your videos even if they don't want to learn to quilt...they probably will want to after watching you! I also like that you showed what we can do with a fat quarter. I have several and wasn't sure what to do with them, at least I have a plan for one!!! As for the snacks I love milky ways!! Twix are good too and Cheetos when I need something crunchy and salty.

[@blackkatukulele6968]

Angela, you are a hoot! thanks for making quilting so fun. LOL

[@deborahfitzer6877]

Twix is my favorite but hubby always brings me Kit Kat bars! Lol! Chocolate is chocolate! Great tutorial!

[@JanetLicariQuilts]

Awesome quilt pattern and great video...always make me laugh! Hard choice but I think I will go with the Milky Way...love my chocolates. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

You are the best!!!! Thanks for all your support!

[@maryannedrury6767]

Angela we could SO be BFF's !!!!! You CRACK me up !!!! LOVE your show and your teaching style !!! :)

[@Tina-Bombina]

Angela. I haven’t managed to pluck up the courage to start sewing yet. - I love watching your videos, you are an inspiration! I will try and make something simple soon! 😊 I will probably struggle to even cut the fabric with a straight edge!

[@barbaracollins6256]

I am the same way........ real upset about giving up the sugary and junk food. Love, Love your videos. You are such fun and likeable person; I really enjoy learning from you. Thank you!

[@Sophie-yy6tc]

Angela, I love your show!!! happiness and smiles all the way..... and twix is my choice.

[@xochitldiaz695]

Angela...I miss watching your midnight quilting show...where is it? I’d like to tell you that I made my own Milky Way quilt, it was my first large quilt. I would still be afraid of free motion quilting if it wasn’t for you and your tutorials. You are right free motion quilting is very fun. I hope to see more of your midnight quilting show in the future.

[@amysmith5863]

Thank you Angela for another great show! Love the quilt and all your corny jokes.....you are a breath of fresh air! 😘❤️

[@judyromanowski436]

Making this quilt now, different fabrics since this kit is no longer available. Love all your videos Angela!

I loved this when it first came out and bought two of the bundles to make quilts for my twin granddaughters. I just finished them and they turned out GREAT!! Thanks, Angela!

[@robinbaskin5576]

Milky Way definitely! Glad to see your shows again. Love the quilt!

[@HRHDMKYT]

Great video as always, and you're right, it's a cute pattern. Cheetos all the way (and Snickers!). Chopsticks are definitely a great idea to save my fingers getting all orangey. Thanks for posting this Angela, and for the quilting patterns! ~Diana from Toronto

[@proudarmymom50]

Cheetos of course! Love the quilt & quilting too. Still working on getting my points - the fmq challenge is teaching me bunches- thank you Angela Walters!!

[@shellyboyle3185]

This is the most adorable pattern! And my snack of choice would have to be peanut butter M&M's.

[@robertaflood1139]

I only discovered you a few weeks ago, and I am SO GLAD that I did....I LOVE watching your videos. You bring a smile to my face and your enthusiasm is contagious! I ALWAYS feel better after watching you, and am encouraged to keep on keeping on! I look forward to many more episodes...and I hope you are well compensated , because you deserve it!!

[@hannahherrmann4921]

When I'm done with some of my current projects I'm definitely making this quilt!

[@alanmadison4717]

I had to give up Doritos because of the messy stains to my quilts and I can only make so many orange quilts. I enjoy your show and miss you when you take your break. My husband even watches your shows with me and he doesn’t watch any other quilt show. Great quilt thanks. Ann

[@jessicabindt0318]

I use needle pullers or hemostats to eat snack that could leave marks on the quiltt. A trick I learned from knitting.

[@susandevore788]

I love watching your videos they make me smile and I learn a lot from each one.

[@missannie8012]

Such a great pattern. Been looking for a pattern for a quilt for my adult son. he will like this pattern.

[@JeriRoberts-5]

I can't wait to make this quilt pattern. I am making it with the Lilly & Loom's Girl's trip fabric from Craftsy. Always love your video humor. Thank you for the tutorials. Oh and MilkyWays are my favorite.

[@maggiemarlow6486]

Sorry but it’s got to be a Snicker! I agree with the colour of the “juice” however! Everyone has to have a time out of the healthy eating! Just love the quilt - thank you for these shows - I’m so pleased every time one pops up as I love your humour while appreciating your expertise

[@bernadetteluca4033]

Milky Way is my favorite! I also love your show and your Craftsy classes.

[@Vicapr]

[@cherylg3199]

Love the fabric colors and the backing fabric was stunning! I look forward to every Wednesday for the newest quilting video. Please don't change a thing as it wouldn't be you. PS I love the t-shirt! Until next week- Happy Quilting :)

[@kerierbe3699]

I totally love watching your shows. So fun and lighthearted but so full of important information and knowledge. I couldn't find any where else where someone asked "WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR T-SHIRT"??? I think that is hysterical and would love one too! thanks in advance

[@ashleyclements4292]

I am so sad I just found this tutorial now! All the fabric is out of stock and I am IN LOVE with your quilt! I hit the subscribe button so this won't happen again!

[@charaldcomeau3971]

I love that fabric and the pattern. Of course I love the quilting too! Thank you!

[@chicksryd2]

I actually LOL'd at your description of how water tastes!! :-D

[@michaelaj88]

It's beautiful Angela, I love patterns like this! I actually used some of this fabric to make my first ever quilt (a baby quilt) for my sister. At the time I didn't realise it was Lily & Loom!!

[@gwenmalinowski3308]

Love this pattern. I'm thinking it would really look great in the Square One Over the Moon fabric. Yet another to add to the "to make" list. Thank you, Angela!

[@jeanpizzimenti5356]

I love love love this quilt. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.
