Impressed, I have to say! I like how this quilt comes together so quickly and without HST's. It's on my list of what to make next, thankyou x

Finally, an easy herringbone pattern for strip sets that's not broken into half square triangles. Thank you so much!

Hooray! Love the way you staggered your herringbone! Easier!

[@nancywicker1930]

I stack my fabrics because I’m always in a hurry to start sewing. That way I get done FASTER! Glad I found your channel!😊

[@jenniferwebster1382]

I am using this to make my sister a blue-jean and patterned cloth herringbone patterned backpack. Thank you for making it so easy to follow!

[@susandevore788]

Have to agree with darlene palmer about the cutting part. Think safety first. Glad you got your machine felicia back from the spa. I enjoy your videos.

[@ss2short]

Mister Domestic I get it

[@sherylcolby7245]

I found a herringbone pattern I liked I Pinterest. Thanks for helping the instructions make more sense.

[@towinbuddy]

That is an awesome alternative to sewing those strips. I’m gonna try that but I would like to keep those points on. That might be to hard when putting a backing on though. It scares me when I watch you cut when you go under your arm. Dangerous it seams. My hubby who works with wood for years now is sewing and learning to embroider. It is so nice to see more men sewing. They have a club going on in many prisons for men that teach crocheting, knitting, and sewing. Very calming. These hobbies are not just for women.

[@nevafitzgerald2402]

Wow you have made this so easy I love it ❤❤❤❤

[@chalanecasdorphwride8785]

I love you, Mr. Domestic (Matthew)! I'm too sick to sew, but watching your video is blessing my spirit. Thanks & God bless you forever.❤

[@lindapucillo7875]

An easy way to make a herringbone quilt. Thanks for the tutorial. Appreciate your enthusiasm and clear instruction. BTW, I was very nervous for you when cutting. I never saw anybody cut the way you did. Looks really dangerous. You gave this old lady even more gray hair!

[@twyla2575]

I love it...Butterfly seams!!!!!!! And your singing is fabulous, too.

[@jodismith3975]

Thank you Matthew, you made something tricky... very simple x

[@debwarren4174]

Wow. I made a herringbone block by block. This method is so much easier. Thanks for the lesson.

[@chrissyluna8183]

It's 1:45 am and I'm watching you make this quilt. Beautiful job and explanation. Your laugh is cute from a mommas stand point.lol

You make this quilt look so easy by stripping. I really like your fabric and the background went so nicely with it. You guys have a Happy Father's Day tomorrow.

[@wendicurtis1630]

Thank you for this video, I haven’t made a full quilt like this yet. But I did use this technique as a border for a quilt I just made. Thanks😃

[@jenniferevans3174]

What a great idea! Thanks!

[@momgrandma5496]

Your fabrics look smashing with the taupe, was easy to follow the sewing together of staggered strips.

[@AvivaHadas]

"Eventhough my fabric doesn't come that way." Thanks for the giggle, that deserves a thumbs up!

[@siglindeweber85]

Thank you for showing, I must try this! Greetings from Germany 😸🐈🐾

[@erika_huber]

Ok, this is a lot easier than I thought it would be. I think you’ve convinced me to try this herringbone quilt. My mom has a long arm quilting machine so I can just take it to her when I’m done lol.

By the way, your choice of background music makes the musician in me very happy. 🌞

[@denisethalman8949]

You can make flying geese with the bits you cut off at the end. They would make a cute extra project or you could use them in the border.

[@elaineadair]

This turned out very well - thank you.

[@ericoda808]

I love you technical terms! Butterfly seams and my new favorite ting ting crisp! Luv it!!! 😁 keep it positive keep it real keep it coming!

[@jbg6550]

Mr Domestic, you’re my hero! I took a little quilting class about 10 years ago and I had sewn a bunch of strips together as we were instructed to. But! Teacher had me rip all of it out as I had not alternated the direction of the seams. Instead of all being north to south I guess I was supposed to sew one north to south and the next south to north and keep alternating. I got so frustrated I didn’t finish and gave the whole thing to charity unfinished. My question is.... are there rules to quilting like that in order to get the pieces to lay right? Does everyone follow meticulous patterns and order of piecing? You didn’t look like you were concerned with seam direction. I’m thinking that the stretching/not stretching thing you did at the end bit took care of any buckling issues? Or were you using your secret quilting superpowers? ie experience to make it work so beautifully. If my question is too much I’ll just keep watching 😉

[@knitwitslisa5244]

Love it!! this is now on my "gotta make one" list

[@nicolemyer-x5v]

what sewing machine do you use that you don't need to lock the stitch in the beginning and end and don't need to start with extra thread / tail out the the back? excellent !!

[@cindymcfarland4686]

[@jkgybg]

Mathew, I love you. I love your infectious laugh. I love all your projects, and your short cut tips. Nesting seams, genius. Could you please do me one favor and adjust the volume between regular and fast forward? The music for the ff is a squich louder than your voice. I find myself lowering and raising my volume each time it changes. I don't want to miss your directions, but my sensitive ears don't want the louder interludes. Thanks.

[@osusanna3619]

Love the herringbone quilt. Also, I have fabric from your Catch & Release line, it’s beautiful!

[@boojangles]

Love this!! I also ordered the rainbow colorblock kit yesterday. So excited to join the sewalong!

[@annajennings7782]

You lined the seams between the strips on the 45° and then trimmed along the long edge of the ruler? Yes?

I’m trying really hard to find a patterned fabric like you have in this video, and I can’t find anything. Do you have links to be able purchase this? My son is leaving for college next fall and I’d love to have something that is masculine but not Uber masculine for a herringbone pattern. He’s a scout so this catch and release is perfect.

[@reynaldaschroeder7644]

It's a great way to make this quilt without too many seams like the HST method but his way of cutting caused me much concern. We've always been taught to be extra careful with the rotary cutter - he could have cut more safely by cutting up and down
