What a beautiful quilt design! It's such a modern take on simple blocks. The colors really make it stunning. Thanks to both you, Angela, and to Chloe, too! See you again soon!

[@teresephelps6263]

You just helped her see how the math that she is learning is part of real life. You provided the real world example many kids need to see why the not so interesting math is important to learn.

[@nenajames6183]

It looks like a lot of fun & will be so different

[@lucilleball5970]

What a pretty quilt! And hugs to Cloe for her wonderful math skills and helping Mom! The quilting is just great on this too. A very unique quilt. Thanks Angela! Enjoy your break, you deserve it! I know all of us will anxiously be waiting for your return and more fun again. Take care and many hugs to you.....Claudia

[@Mrs.Gwoompi]

I absolutely LOVE YOU CHANNEL ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰❤️

[@Sherileeaz1]

The time and energy you put into all your quilts it’s no wonder all are amazing! So glad you are designing such modern patterns, I want to make one of your quilts for my daughter who is your age plus so many of your designs go so well with the farmhouse look. Win-win! Any shades of grays, blues, etc. perfect! Thanks, xoxo

[@sothearyouk373]

Beautiful! I love this quilt pattern. I’m a beginner quilter, just working on my second one. I try try this one some day🤗 Thank you!

[@kathleenstorer691]

Currently making this in a print color way, it looks amazing so far...one discrepancy (actually 3) in the pattern...see photo. Just an FYI and it may have been corrected already. Well I can’t figure out how to attach a photo atm, but the “V” blocks are all supposed to point inward, but the pattern shows 3 of the 4 pointing outward. Regardless its easy to figure out and all I have left to do is piece all the blocks together! I love this pattern! Thanks so much Angela!

[@debbolognone8741]

I am just learning to quilt and enjoy your show.

[@kinsley8565]

Who else loves her?

[@debhamerlinck3608]

You make quilting fun. I absolutely love the colors in this quilt and the fact that you so make this look like something I could do. Your voice is so pleasant to listen to and you don't drag on and on and on like some do. Keep posting, you inspire me to push myself.

[@SmittenKitten.]

Thank Cloe for the beautiful math!! I am a math lover, and when I hear about girls being good at it, it makes my heart happy! I suppose I _should_ thank Angela, too, for her gorgeous pattern and beautiful quilting... Really loved this quilt!

[@SmittenKitten.]

PS - I hope I spelled her name correctly! I can't recall where I saw it spelled this way, but I hope it's correct (if not, let me know and I'll edit it and pretend I knew all along!).

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

You did get it correct!!! Bravo! Also thanks so much for always being so encouraging on my videos.....I always love reading your comments!!

[@SmittenKitten.]

Angela, this totally made my day!!! I so appreciate all you do for us! This show has completely changed my quilting - it has made me a much happier, saner quilter. Your humor and engagement draw us all in; beyond that, you're such an excellent teacher, and a crazy-amazing quilter! Thank you for taking the time to not only read my silly comments, but to respond. I hope your break is luxuriously restful!

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

Awww, thanks so much! I am ridiculously blessed to get to do what I get to do!

[@giginine9142]

[@danielasoibelman7555]

OMG! That was amazing. That is what I call quilting like a PRO. God job. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@diannedeaver2435]

Just found you and can't wait to start this quilt. How is your husband? Will be praying for the whole family. Blessings to you as you have blessed others.

[@lora3677]

Thank you for going over how to just hide and move on from less than perfect piecing. It's so easy to be critical of your own work when you are first starting and comparing to those with decades of experience... I'm thankful for designers who remind us to just have fun and create. :)

[@eileenmagan6107]

I love all your quilts thank you

[@pamelavalley4765]

Wonderful quilt. Enjoy your break. I think I will make this one next but make it King sized for my son and his wife. I bought some lovely Shannon yesterday. Thanks for all your hard work and cheerful teaching.

[@aurorad3522]

Thanks for sharing the uses of the mystery lines on the ruler. Specifics are the hard parts to learn from skilled artisans.

[@suesmith5033]

Definitely will make this quilt and try the quilting that you've been teaching. Thank you for designing this pattern for us and then making it free!

[@karenm3774]

I really like this quilt - the pattern and the fabric choice. I love that it uses only 1 jelly roll. I think I will be putting this one on my list (I have already downloaded it). Perhaps I will start this one when my littlest starts preschool in the fall - I think this quilt will need 100% focus.

[@tammyblackburn7458]

I have been saving 2 jelly rolls to make my daughter a quilt. I was looking for the perfect pattern and I think you just gave it to me! Love this pattern! Thank you!

[@terrybridgham7824]

Very nice design! I like it enough to tackle it, but not right away. I am glad you got all the math worked out.

[@gillhurst3441]

Angela you are just the best, you make a plain piece of fabric look spectacular Just love watching your show

[@PurpleQuiltCo]

I love the different blocks in the quilt. Thanks for doing all that math!

[@judystewart8852]

I love watching you create and sew you quilts> you are so much fun.

[@IceCweemQueenz]

I'm now obsessed with this pattern! As soon as I finish my bargello, this is now top of my to do list!

[@denisestilling2810]

Your energy is amazing! Your creativity is inspiring! Your spirit is enthusiastic....enjoy your beak and recharge.

[@martinarolando6363]

I want to quilt like you! I have a midarm machine but the last two quilts (smaller ones) I just used my Viking and did free motion. It did not look anything like yours. Maybe next year for Christmas Santa will bring me the brains to do beautiful free motion quilting!

[@lynnparish1198]

This is a fab quilt...thanks Angela...always fun to watch you!!

[@johovey9864]

I am so glad Cloe helped you with the math... not my favorite, either. I am more of an advanced beginner - but willing to have a go at this one. Looks like a fun project! Thank you so much for your encouraging videos, they give me a little push when I get stuck on my current projects. :D

[@judyhawkins492]

Enjoy your much deserved little break. How did you know that I would be sad? So many of us enjoy your videos. Keep it up!

[@claudiacampbell4375]

Love the pattern and the colors. Thanks for sharing the pattern. Enjoy your time away and looking forward to your return. I watch you quilt and I do some practicing but have only quilted one so far, nothing elaborate, mostly straight lines. I need a bit more practice and watching you do it before I will let myself loose on a pretty quilt.

[@rosemarymuntus8991]

Enjoy your break. This quilt looks great and I am enjoying watching your shows and reading your books.

[@stacyjanine6241]

Love this pattern! Quilting in negative space is intimidating but extending the rows makes it look do-able!! Thank you so much for all your hard work with these patterns and videos. We appreciate it so much! Enjoy time off with your family :)

[@janicehoff2865]

This is going to be a personally challenging quilt pattern, but worth it (and all your hard work designing it).

[@theresamg2012]

Stunning.!!! Ima tackle after my cast comes off in 12 weeks. Love it Angela. 💕💞💗💓💞😍

[@bessiedyer5159]

you are very good at what you do. like your videos

[@patriciadunn8116]

It's a stunning quilt design! Thank you and your daughter for doing all the math and instructions. God bless! Have a wonderful break!

[@aw3934]

You make the most Beautiful quilts I’ve ever seen! So colorful!

[@doloresdurst860]

Wow! You make it look so easy. The way you did the orange peel design on the 2" squares was amazing. You please slowly demonstrate that???

[@suzisaintjames]

Hurry back! xoxo from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵, 79/54f today. 92f on Tuesday! Crazy!

[@emiliegoethals3769]

I really like that design. I can see how to use those stripy blocks in a total different way. and, even better, I don't have to do the math !! Thank you Angela

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Angela, that quilt is really really stunning and gorgeous.....I’m going to download the pattern, for just in case I get the time to make it.....xxx Mags

[@brendanewsome705]

Love it! Think that I might just give it a try. After I finish a couple of other quilts I'm doing. Thank you so much for all you do. You are amazing lady.

[@StarAviator]

I love the colors of this quilt and the 36 patch blocks, that looks like a lot of fun! I'd love to see you do a watermelon quilt!

[@annedirks215]

I absolutely love this quilt. You are so generous to give us the pattern and quilting diagrams. Thank you😍

[@rebeccacraft3043]

Thanks Angela, I finally got brave enough to Quilt my own tops. Everyone bragging on my Beautiful results.

[@lauriedutcher5676]

I have that exact jelly roll. I think I want to make the quilt as well. Thank you for all your work developing the pattern, and especially for giving it to us...and the quilting designs. Can’t wait to start.

[@sguhl4089]

Wonderful quilt AGAIN! You are amazing. Thank you for sharing your talent so generously. I don’t know the story about your husband but I will pray for peace, health and restoration. God Bless.

[@graylagran7443]

i keep watching over and over. i'm definitely going to make this! looks like so much fun!

[@mgs783]

Wow! Love the jelly roll colors, the piecing designs, the quilting pattern choices you quilted and the dynamics how the angles interact between the stripes and squares❣️‼️👍. Matching the seams looked challenging ( not one of my strengths) ...it would take me much longer to get that done LOL! I prefer piecing to quilting, but your tutorials have me encouraged ~ the designs you quilted are relaxing and fun. The parameters the strip piecing creates for quilting the designs really flowed. Looking forward to incorporating that with other geometric themes too. Kudos to you and Cloe for a successful collaboration with the geometry!! Impressive and so cool Cloe is into math ~ gotta luv it 📐. Perhaps there will be future collaborations, just imagine with your talents what fantastic designs you’d create 🤔💜. Thank you for all the time and effort you devote to share your knowledge with everyone. Keeping your family in my 🙏🏻 s.

[@bnyzhny]

What a GORGEOUS DESIGN. Thank you!!!👏👏👏

[@annielyst]

You do such a great job with teaching us and adding humor. I loved your math humor. Not sure if I'll tackle this one - maybe someday. It's a great quilt though.

[@brendafoley6995]

My goodness. . thanks for the pattern. .this may need some extra material bought. I see myself cutting something wrong. . thanks for the challenge. .Hope you can enjoy your time off!.I'm off to Paducah, Ky Saturday

[@catcrain968]

I loved this so much that I immediately went to my stash and started pulling! I’m using pieces from a 6” roll of boundless ombré. So I pulled 18 colors and will cut a 2.5” strip and 2” strip from each (leaving 1.5” scrap). I feel like this math works based on reading the pattern. Yes?

[@shellyboyle3185]

Love it!!!!! Beautiful colors of the sea! And such a fun pattern!

[@romaynecarlin7764]

angela, you have done it again! a job well done. paws crossed for your husband ~

[@gerrilynburchwell9043]

I love this quilt! I’m going to try it. Can’t wait for the 36 block squares.

[@rebeccataylor6111]

Hey Angela - I love this pattern so much and got the kit from Craftsy - SO BEAUTIFUL!! However, there was a printing error on page 5 where the printed instructions tell you to make 6 strip sets, and the diagram instruction tells you to only make 4 strip sets. Just a heads up!! Keep up the beautiful patterns!

[@karinabak3993]

I love the quilt and will now be buying a new jelly roll. Thank you for thevqmazing quilt pattern. You and your family are in my thoughts.

[@vickiseals9742]

Thank goodness for math smart daughters! I too have noticed that the math I learned in high school has disappeared on me. Wonder where I put it? Lol Hugs and love for you and your family have a nice time off. Vicki.

[@joanneadkins3943]

Love the pattern and ALL of your shows. Thank you so much for all you do. God Bless!

[@vickijackson5547]

This quilt is beautiful! But I am NOT ready for that math level of challenge yet. LOL

[@graysonnelson6333]

I am definitely going to make this one! Kudos on a unique intriguing design, Angela!

[@bethreese8627]

This is great! Thanks for the extra effort in doing the math and figuring out how it all goes together. Sending all the best wishes to you and your family, and we look forward to seeing you back.

[@freida14]

OMG that quilting job is superb!

[@kaif1360]

Wow this one is quilted brilliantly, I love the pattern but you have out done yourself with the quilting this time. Thinking of you and your family, sending positive thoughts and energy for the 20th ❤️❤️❤️

[@lynnquast9205]

I really enjoy your approach to the construction and design plus your amazing quilting!! On one show you said you had music playing in the background while you quilt, well, I have you playing, so I don't feel so bad about occassionally unseeing!!! Have a great time off and looking forward to the new season!

[@klmcguire7275]

I`am with you on the shapes!

[@maryvarnell9665]

This is gorgeous. I will have to watch the tutorial a bunch of times when I make this. Can't wait!

[@kls22home]

Looks like a great way to use up a jelly roll!

[@missmix48]

Sure glad you did the math! I downloaded it but have other projects to work on right now.

[@donnadavidson5213]

I think this lady is awesome!

[@lifeofaimee6259]

I really love your quilting tips - thank you!!!!

[@michaelwoods6279]

Hi Angela. Love your show. If you fold your 2"strip sets in half RST and divided your length needed (18.25) by 2 and then made one cut at 45 degrees you eliminate the risk of making an error. It's the same technique used when you make mitred borders by measuring exact length needed.

[@stephaniehowerderheimer98]

That's a great idea, although it could be difficult to get an accurate measurement of 9 1/8" (half of 18.25) on rulers and mats that may not go down to the 1/8" marking...

[@ashleypierson5653]

wow! I love it!

[@jimsqueenie]

Oh, how I am going to miss your "midnight quilt show" videos. Have a great time off and with your family. You probably need the break although we will ALL miss you so much!!! Looking forward to more videos when you get back, my "fellow" wine drinker and popcorn eater!!!

[@gracemunro5627]

Love your pattern, looks great!

[@annmarieevans-shaw4305]

You are an incredibly talented quilter! Enjoy your break, and I look forward to more of your videos.

[@marthaford9467]

Love the psttern. I will definitely be giving this a try. My granddaughter lives it and she wants one done in pinks! ! Girls. Gotta love them. I may make this a project to do together with her.

[@kathydarley5706]

Heck yeah I'm going to make it! This is my kinda quilt. Thanks for doing the math for us. You are totally awesome, hurry back!

[@5h3rx2y4]

Well done. I could never have figured those angles out on my own. Thank you for that amazing bit of mathmatical patchwork. And as always your quilting is superb.

[@katbrd1]

[@bdawnmorris]

That is so gorgeous!

[@Adnar818]

Bravo!!! This is gorgeous!

[@jessicapoemape3067]

I love it!!!!!! You are such an inspiration!

[@sandraporto2705]

[@lisawilde781]

WOW, that is beautiful. Love it

[@shanzidashanjee4230]

I just love to watch your videos... Tnx a lot for giving this kind of idea... Love u a lot dear ♥♥♥

[@heathery09]

SOOOO pretty! I'm thinking how gorgeous it would be with my vast assortment of purple fabrics I have laying around! This might be a summer project for me! :-)

[@anitamartin7639]

That is really pretty! Also love the colors. Have a good time !enjoy your time away.

[@mischellsmith7774]

I love the quilt and I am glad to know that I don't have to have perfect points. And you give us ways to hide the bobos .good job again. xoxo

[@denahillis5201]

You are so brave!! That looks beautiful but scary to do!

[@eugeniasmith965]

Love this pattern. Can't wait to try it.

[@gracebrtkrz5308]

I will definitely try this quilt-thanks for the free pattern-love it!!!

[@alexandrawellington8028]

Fantastic pattern!!!!!

[@debbieburchell1573]

Wow! I hope to wrap my mind around this someday! lol

[@cindydaugherty1042]

That is one beautiful quilt. Would live to see a gem tone version!

[@IsasisCollection]

Amazing!

[@paml2642]

This was an awesome quilt! Love the way you figured out the math and the quilting looks like something I can tackle! Thank you!

[@whiteraven1604]

Its beautiful. The quilting really sets it off. I think it’s too big for me, but if Chloe will do the math for me to do a smaller version! 😜
