Excellent tutorial‼️

[@lynettefell4185]

I love your videos, you explained everything slow. Thank you!

[@lizreynolds4554]

Thank you for sharing this with us. I never thought to keep them attached when sewing row to row. BRILLIANTLY DONE! You explain and demonstrate very well. I learned a few new things. I am a fairly new quilter, so this was SUPER HELPFUL!! 😊🧵🪡✂️💖

[@pamkillian6049]

Thanks for that "lead" idea! I'd never heard of that!!!!

[@missypearlgurl]

Yes I see that done but no one ever explained why to do it. I need to start doing that also.

[@doreensherk287]

That is a great block and in fact I also just finished one for my grandson done in blacks, grays and reds. It looks great and very masculine.

[@diannefleck2030]

So glad I found you! Just finished my Disappearing Nine Patch. Using it as a Valentine wall hanging!💕I appreciate your making us feel comfortable if our quilting isn’t PERFECT!👍

[@wandahess4543]

Just found you. You are a great teacher. And your choice of fabric and colors are what I really appreciated. I have been teaching myself for years ,I am 80 and am nothing in experience as you young ladies. You all do such beautiful work. I had to always eyeball all my work on certain things as I did not know how to read the ruler. I finally broke down and had my son teach me. I just get excited when I see something you do and hear the word of what you categorize it and I have been doing that. Such as stitch in the ditch. My children have since been wonderful in helping me stay on top of today’s modern toys.. lol god knows how much I enjoy it so I figure there has to be a team up there just stitching away when my time comes to join them. And that saying of your never to old to learn is very true.. thank you ladies

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Wanda- You are so kind. Thank you for your sweet words. I’m glad you enjoy the tutorials and that you are able to learn the new techniques. I’m glad to have you watching. ❤️

[@beverlyalexander7076]

Am so glad I found your channel and subscribed. I lost my love for quilting after my grandmother past almost 15 years ago. Watching your videos has brought back that spark. I am going to make the blocks of the month to create a quilt in my grandmother's memory. Thank you sharing and inspiring me to quilt again.

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Beverly- I am so glad that I have been able to bring your love of quilting back. I think a memory quilt in your Grandmother's honor is a beautiful way to remember her. ❤️

[@lesa6399]

Love disappearing 9 patches! Thanks for the tips & tutorial!

[@Beatriz-tt3le]

Wow I love this block, it is so easy to sew together. This is the first time I see this block, learning as I go have never used a book to make my quilts, so thank you for sharing all the monthly blocks, your teaching skills are great to follow.

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Thank you, Beatriz! I am glad that I am able to help! 😊

[@dic4571]

I enjoy your teaching

[@akramostovar1754]

I love the way you teach

[@jeanettelpehl2834]

You make doing a disappearing nine patch look so easy. I am a beginner quilter and doing this for one of my grand babies. I am so excited. I love how when the square is complete it looks like a complicated square and it is not. Thank you so much. I may be watching and doing first square with you. Wanted you to know that since I have picked up sewing my grand babies 8 and 10 year old now have been playing with fabric scraps for a few years with glue. Last time they were over they wanted me to teach them how to hand sew a straight line. We are having our Xmas tomorrow and I have bought them both a sewing machine of their own. Wow are we going to have fun. I have been teaching them to cook as well. They really need this distraction right now. Their father was in an accident at work and is paralyzed from the waist down. They have no insurance and the medical bills are piling up. Their mother took a job at school where they go right before accident to make their life easier. We were carrying most of the care burden since they were babies because they could not afford day care. Saying that this sewing desire for them will be healthy for both of them. They are grieving every day when they are reminded that dad cannot jump on trampoline anymore or dad cannot do the active things that they are so used to doing together. You are a blessing to me. I got the girls to pick out their fabrics for their quilts and I cannot wait to start them that will help lock in that passion for fabric and sewing. Have an amazing 2025. Thank you, Jeanette

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Jeanette- I am so excited for you to give your Grandbabies their sewing machines! 🥰 It is going to be such a healing experience for them and I’m so glad you’re going to be quilting along with me. 😊 I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family and pray you are all surrounded by love and blessings each and every day! 🥰

[@gigiontube]

Love your carefulness and your detailed explanations. Thank you ❤️

[@cindyreardon4391]

I love this block!! I made a blue and yellow baby quilt in flannels for a our youngest great grandson! It turned out great!!

[@NWMNLady]

Quick and easy! Thank you

[@vickiserre9457]

I’m a new quilter, this video was so well explained. I’m starting this project tomorrow!🤙👏💜

[@sandradummer4726]

Hi Vicki, I too, am a new quilter of almost 2 years come almost the near end of May, it’ll be 2 years. I’m 68 and just now starting out. Back then all I had was an old Kenmore sewing machine of my mother’s I don’t think it would of held up for me. Back when I start my husband was helping me then he quit. That was last year Oct 2021, I haven’t sewed anything since. I have a 3 yard quilt I need to finish so I can complete that. But..with my husband cutting for me that helped a lot since I have such arthritis in my hands, so..this makes it difficult to sew a times. But..the fabrics sure are pretty, but…so expensive now. So..I try to get only what I need. Hope your enjoying sewing at this time. I took up sewing back in the day of ( Jr high school days).

[@ROMEKBNY]

Awesome. Working on this now. My first quilt!

[@suzik568]

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Thank you!

[@vickihateley6911]

I love this !... Now I have a question, If i'm going to make a complete twin size quilt, add of 9 patches, How many nine patches do I need ?

[@ezdubz1482]

noice, cant wait to do mine

[@moon-ud8tq]

Question: can I cut in the center 2.5" (half of 5") instead of your 2.25 (two & quarter) -- would it come out like your finished block?

[@marcellaspence5117]

❤

[@FatimahMohd-k3w]

❤❤❤

[@chaklet1ct]

Very nice pattern. Do you have a link for the Riley Blake fabric? Thank you for the great tutorial

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Unfortunately, I do not. I purchased it about 2 years ago and I can no longer find that particular fat quarter bundle. You might want to try Missouri Star Quilt Company though. They had some really cute Riley Blake fat quarter bundles.

[@chaklet1ct]

Thank you for the information

[@jessicantorres]

I am going to try this! Blocks are new to me. What size do you trim the entire block down to?

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Jessica- We haven't started trimming the blocks yet. That will be a video coming out on Friday.

[@lindaweitman8564]

I wish I didn't have to argue my nesting pieces together.

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

I hear you on that one. It drives me crazy! LOL

[@tinaradosevich8772]

Can you do quilt as you go with front and back saching with this pattern? Would the pattern get lost?

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Tina- You most definitely could use sashing with the pattern. I bet it would look great!

[@ritagarcia2110]

can this 9 " blk be made smaller then 5" blk ?

[@tinaparker6879]

How can I find out what the other 10 blocks are

Here is the Playlist for the 2020 Quilt Block of the Month- BLOCK OF THE MONTH - 2020 kzbin.info/aero/PLC26UuejwRbr_Pi_ilGcp9CembBc2oo7z

[@lindaweitman8564]

Hi Anissa!

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Hi Linda!

[@Coffeedrinker291]

Can you give the measurements for a 10” block?

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

I use an app on my phone by Robert Kaufman that helps me to configure different size squares to make a certain size block. 😊 Here is a quick video on how to use the calculator. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n33Um397Z9FnqLs

[@gwenneufeld531]

I don’t understand why you squared up this block to 12”. Shouldn’t it be 12 1/2” before joining to other blocks?

[@ROMEKBNY]

Yea. I’m working on this now and probably going to square to 12.5.

[@ROMEKBNY]

I think she just misspoke.

[@isabelcharles4906]

Did I miss something? Only 2 cuts?

[@TheCraftyAuthor]

Isabel- That is correct! Only 2 cuts!

[@brendagalethompson8369]

Volume is low....
