Q&A What is your favorite quilt block to make

[@virginiahughes3502]

I like the 9 patch and hour glass. 😊

[@SharonNickson]

I have become very fond of anything paper pieced. I order pre printed pads of Sew Emma paper blocks from Amazon

[@stitchpenniesofficial]

Churn dash is my favourite block, hands down 🥰

[@suedavis1835]

I love the kaleidoscope block, which gives the illusion of circular movement when alternating lights and darks, even when all of the seams are straight.

[@marywilson2843]

I love star patterns. I like the log cabin pattern and especially the carpenters star

[@jackiematsumura2649]

I like Arkansas crossroads- easy to make with scraps. I’m really trying to use up my scraps before I start a new project with “fresh” fabric. I’m hoping to make a storm at sea quilt.

[@debbiehill1693]

Any and all stars!!

[@jeanettebenton]

Those are some beautiful patterns

[@TGBTGAlways]

I 💞 making string quilt blocks and most star blocks

[@helenpeddycord2241]

Pineapple log cabin, any stars and kaleidoscope 💕💕

[@debbymccauley4774]

I love any star blocks but like the orange peel/melon block so much versatility colors, prints, and size. 🧵🪡

[@landarogers9926]

I love the Stars; LeMoyne, Ohio, Friendship, etc.

[@Susietacoma]

Fan. I keep mine scrappy with one consistent color as 1/4 circle fan corner. Always a white background.

[@patriciaclevenstine-ali4714]

You are always bringing us something new! Thank you!

[@hollywaddell6727]

I like the LeMoyne Star - I have only done one as a sample and know that I need to work on getting those points more accurate. I also like the visual impressions of an Irish Chain and the Friendship Star, but have not built those, yet. Mostly, I have just been piecing together various scraps (aka crumbs, small strips) to get more comfortable with the 1/4” seam allowance. That is the biggest obstacle for this garment sewer to conquer.

Adorable

[@kittyhettinger6091]

My favorite is the humble 9 patch. I especially like to make the 3” finished but love making any size.

[@richardaddario7062]

so cute!

[@melterpstra8999]

Log cabin and Irish chain. They seem to be so versatile

[@noreenmalmin8878]

I like making stars. they are easy but all look really cool to me..

[@brendabeane6498]

My favorite is flying geese blocks

[@stitchinginthebarn8307]

This is a good question! Mine is usually the block I enjoy making at the moment. Right now its the Grecian Square block that Beth at my sewing room showed on her channel well over a year ago. It is quick and easy and gives a dramatic result. I'm doing it in my free time so that may be why its my favorite. I've made 13 of 20 total so far in my favorite color, purple, and neutrals. Your favorite block is pretty. I'd like to try that one one day.

[@karoliyer4860]

Hi Laura I love the look of the Lemoyne Star…..but have never done one as yet…..the one pattern I have made and I’ve done several is the turning twenty ……it’s fast and fun and the look is so different with the fabrics chosen, of course I love Batiks best… 😊

[@sjfuqua]

I love the quilt on the wall behind you! Do you have a link to a tutorial on it? Nevermind I found it. It's gorgeous ❤

[@lindasimmons3167]

I love sampler quilts because I get to prepare many different blocks. I get bored doing the same block repeatedly.

[@sherylcorgan7862]

Actually, I don’t have a favorite, I am super new to quilting. I’m learning a lot from you thanks.

[@virginiagrenier8572]

I love rag-time blocks because you are quilting and piecing at the same time and don't need binding.

[@deborahmeares1048]

Hey Laura had you had a chance to look at all the comments and questions from your Scrappy Sunshine block of the month

[@SewVeryEasy]

I am just getting to them. Thanks for the reminder:)

[@Toad-In-A-Puddle]

Pineapple log cabin.

[@reneecorbin8501]

This is kinda hard to answer ,I have quilted all kinds and still have lots to try out ,,I like a sampler style quilt,,also a scrappy style, maybe the irish chain, traditional for sure,,Oh I give up,❤ them all just about,but I don't like really complicated ones, I have found that out,I enjoy just putting my scraps together in controlled scrappy, the most I think. I enjoy a tiny 2 inch scrappy square ,when sewn in,, its one and a half inches,those are fun. Also, have done loads of hand quilting hexie quilts, I am on my third ,but its really big so its gonna take awhile. Oh, I forgot dresdens love them ,,,,OH my !!you have opened up a can of worms!!!!😂

[@lindawalker2490]

Pineapple block

[@judithdomangue9995]

Hi, I have an off-topic question. My pattern envelope says “not suitable for obvious diagonals” in regards to fabric, and I don’t know what that means. I would appreciate if you could mention this, thanks!

[@SewVeryEasy]

That's a great idea! I will put that on my list of video to do. Thanks

[@daizyfield]

Irish chain
