Thank you so much for this information. I have spent over 2 hours slowly studying this video and doing the work sheets with you. Hard but doable. The Grid conceptl still difficult, for example the 2x2 Grid just looks like a 4 patch to me. Concept of sizing up and down (and cutting fabric easily) using grid just beginning to sink in. You must really be good at math. This video should be at the top of the National Quilter Circle and remain there forever because of useful and relevant information. I'm so lucky to have come across it. Thanks again for a great, useful and relevant video.

WOW what a lot to take in as a newbie it was awesome! I too would like to know how to get the cd and the work sheets please

[@MizzRowe]

Great tutorial. On that last block though, I'd skip the 1/4 square triangle and just do two half square triangle blocks. Will have to find this CD. Love the storage of the thread in the clear jars.

There is no link...please can you add one.

[@missmix48]

there is NO LINK cheery

[@lorrainecooper137]

Oh my goodness wonderful idea but even though I have degree in applied maths the tutorial was way to quick and too hard to follow. Why not just take your block and on the computer change the block size and it will automatically do it for you. Adobe!

[@GB58able]

Lorraine Cooper Hi, that sounds great! Which Adobe do you have? Can you share the technique on how to use Adobe to resize?

[@kw1996]

Way too confusing to follow and you're very fast. Take it down a notch for us beginners please!

[@cwhite3839]

I watched it several times since I am a beginner.

[@catalinavalladares3268]

Me too 😅
