I am part of a Prayer Quilt Ministry at church and this will be perfect as I am also a beginner quilter. Thank you for such a great tutorial video! I love seeing what the quilt top looks like finished, not just the finished blocks. Sometimes it hard for me to visualize what the end result looks like so this is perfect! God Bless 🙏🏻

Hi Paula, I still call myself a beginner after I started quilting over 4 years ago. Your quilt blocks tonight are very simple and allow newbies to follow you easy enough to make their first block. I’m excited to see more of your tutorials.

[@conniefeldmann9864]

Thank you. The quilt is beautiful and as a beginner it seems very straightforward to make. I’m not as confident that I can cut through that much material at one time - but I think I can break it down into more manageable cuts for myself. Thanks again.

[@Mama_iza_Fan]

You are very welcome. Two pieces of fabric at a time isn't too bad. Definitely, go at your own pace but you got this!

[@GrrannyH1]

Nice quick quilt and a clear tutorial. Thank you. Just one quick comment on terminology as I understand it: "finished" =the size of the block after being sewn into a quilt; "unfinished" = the size of the block after being sewn as a single block, i.e. it still has 1/4" seam allowance on all edges.

[@Mama_iza_Fan]

You are correct about the terminology. I am glad you found the tutorial helpful! Thank you so much for watching!

[@paulinechapman5669]

Have l missed something..thought it was supposed to be 2 yards of same fabric quilt..but is this 2 pieces of 1 yard each..pretty though..🇨🇦

[@Mama_iza_Fan]

Thanks for watching. Yes, you need 2 one-yard cuts. If you were to use 2 yards of the same fabric, you could just piece it like a backing fabric and quilt it together. It would resemble a whole cloth quilt instead. Take care.

[@margaretlowans8429]

Would it not be more economical to cut 5 inch and 2 and a half inch strips.?

[@Mama_iza_Fan]

Thanks so much for watching! You are right. Thank you for the comment :)

[@lindadalton2668]

It’s a good size for a donation quilt for a nursing home. Great size foe the wheelchair

You are so right. It would be perfect for a nursing home! Thank you so much for watching.

[@AnnetteKerridge]

That is a nice quilt. I'm a bit worried about cutting a beginner cutting all those layers together- especially without a revolving mat. Best wishes

[@Mama_iza_Fan]

Thank you so much for watching! If you noticed, when I cut the block pieces on the rotating mat, I only had 2 layers. One of each color. Try not to cut to many at once. As a beginner, it can be a challenge, but 2 layers should be fine.

[@AnnetteKerridge]

You did cut 4 at a time. Not many people have a revolving mat. Cheers

[@Mama_iza_Fan]

@@AnnetteKerridge Thanks for watching. I cut one of each fabric to make 2 blocks. I did mention that if you do not have a revolving mat, to just turn the cutting mat you have. Take good care :)

[@AnnetteKerridge]

Thanks

[@Suz-f1k]

What is the double edge and single edge? I missed something in the folding process?

[@Mama_iza_Fan]

Thank you so much for watching and posting your question! When you buy fabric off the bolt, it is width of fabric that is folded in half. To fold it again, take a 1 yard cut by the folded edge and bring it to the selvage edges. When you do that, you will have 2 selvage edges (double edge) and 1 folded edge (single edge) along that side. I hope this makes sense. Please watch my video that explains width of fabric. This may help you understand what I am referring to. You can find it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpmxhqaJh5tknMU

[@jenihansen7201]

Beautiful quilt blocks. Thank you. I have a set of 3 yard quilt material. Can you show us something like that ? You are good. Again, thank you.

[@Mama_iza_Fan]

Hello! Thank you so much for watching! With 3 yards, you can make this same block. You would just use 3 colors! Cut your yardage as twelve 10-inch blocks each. Stack one of each color together, make your cuts, move the top square to the bottom and sew. You can make a quilt top with 5 blocks across and 6 down. It will be BEAUTIFUL! Let me know how it turns out!

Why can't you cut the second 2.5 strip from the same side as you cut the first strip?

Absolutely! I would just make sure you have 2 darker and 2 lighter prints. It will be beautiful. Have fun!

[@MarjorieOtto]

I guess I never heard her call it a blanket.

[@lindadalton2668]

Are you sewing with a half inch seam ? You said your seam had taken up an inch of your square

[@Mama_iza_Fan]

Thank you for watching! No, we always use a quarter inch seam. The reason why it takes up a half inch, is because you have sewn 2 pieces of fabric at a quarter inch. 1/4 +1/4 =1/2. I sure hope this makes sense. Always keep in mind, when you are finished sewing your blocks in the quilt, they will be 1/2 inch smaller than they were as individual blocks.

[@janeanndouglas9231]

In your video you said it took up one inch, not 1/2”. And I believe you said the finished block was 9”. I made this block with 1/4” seams and my block finished at 9-1/2”…

[@Mama_iza_Fan]

@@janeanndouglas9231 Yes, I said it took up 1 inch because we have 2 seams. Each seam takes up a half inch. I think you may want to check your 1/4" seams and make sure they are not 1/8". Some machines need to have their needle moved in order to achieve a 1/4". If you watch the video, you will see me measure the block. It is supposed to finish at 9 inches. If you need any tips on adjusting your machine needle to get that quarter inch seam, check out my video "New to Sewing? How to Sew a STRAIGHT Line EVERY Time!" I sure hope this helps.

[@janeanndouglas9231]

My seams ARE 1/4”…2 seams at 1/4” each equals 1/2” total, not one inch, so I’m confused….you have to be talking about something I missed…although I did notice another viewer asked about the same issue…..

[@trevarnewighton2954]

@@janeanndouglas9231 You have two seams. One takes up 1/4 on the strip and 1/4 on the square and again on the other side makes one each Hope you understand now. Your measurements are out somewhere

[@lindadalton2668]

You have titled your video for beginners so please don’t show new quilters that it’s ok to cut with that rotary cutter coming back at you. You just showed them the best way to slip and cut into their left fore arm. A pro would never show someone to cut that way

[@Mama_iza_Fan]

Thanks for watching! You are absolutely right. Thank you for giving me this feedback.

[@lindadalton2668]

I don’t want to be rude but these are not blankets they are quilts blankets are made of one layer of what ever material you choose. A quilt is made of three. Top batting and backing. A lot of difference

[@Mama_iza_Fan]

Thank you for watching. I have many viewers that are from the UK that are new to piecing and quilting. Many use the term "blanket" universally. I do teach all of my students this difference, and for some it is difficult knowledge to retain due to the cultural difference in definition. This topic has been on my list for future videos, but I think posting it sooner would be better than later, lol

[@margaretduffy1360]

Quilts have two or more layers that are tied or stitched together. Many quilts don't include wadding/batting.
