This is a clip from Angela Pingel's online class, Simple to Stunning: Disappearing Blocks with Pre-Cuts. Why take this class? Students rave:
"Angela has presented a really great class! I never find myself purchasing pre-cuts because I never know what to do with them, but this class has put a whole new thought in my mind. I like the idea of having really small pieces in a block but without having to actually piece those tiny pieces. My favorite block from the class was the Disappearing Strip Diamonds. I have been looking for a selfish sewing project to work on this month that wasn't too stressful and I think this might be it! I also appreciated the discussion of choosing fabrics and layouts in the last lesson. A+ class!"

I really appreciate all the extra hints you included, some of which I've never heard before in all the videos I've watched. Really good stuff. Thanks!

[@joansheppard6069]

The best ever directions! Easy, direct. I'm also going to make the rows strip cuts. Quilts for dog rescue fundraisers need to be fast as well as adorable! Thank you so much.

[@lindadaniel9416]

I took your class and really enjoyed it. A great way to get different looks with simple blocks.

[@annadueck5370]

[@sunflowergamesworld2817]

Beautiful quilt

[@airmom8716]

[@giaalvarado2063]

[@kayfarm9609]

Blueprint is super.

[@robinaanstey3734]

Chop! Chop! Chop! Haha! So cute!

[@reginabator1682]

Love the quilt behind you, Im new to quilting. and am looking for some patterns I like, can you tell me the pattern please.

[@carlinarivera3733]

What sewing machine are you using?

[@gypsyrose813]

i noticed that your square is not square..... after you sew the nine blocks together, do you square it up?

[@Redl16]

I've never sewn a quilt even though I love the finished product. I'm gonna try to make this one, but before then, I have a couple of questions: how many yards did you use for each color, how big is the quilt?

[@irenefoss2245]

You can see a large variety of colors and prints of -5" charm packs" at missouristarquilter.com There are 42 5" squares in each charm pack. Beautiful fabrics. I have made quilts with these charm packs. Some small quilts only take one package of charm packs. Larger quilts take more than one charm pack. I love shopping at Missouri Star Quilts. They are very easy to order from and I have never had a problem since I started ordering from them about 3 years ago. My favorite part of the web site is the Daily Deal. Amazing prices on the Daily Deals. I'm beginning to sound like a representative but I'm not. I'm just a gramma who likes to make quilts. "Happy Quilting"

[@ruthfreeman864]

Where did you measure to get the half inch or the halfway point did you measure the center of the Center Square to cut it in half or did you measure the Square from edge to edge and cut it in half both ways

[@lindawasko9622]

She was using 5 inch charms, so once sewn together they would be 4 1/2 . So cut thru the center at 2 1/4".

[@mrsemmas12]

How big will this quilt be? How many charm packs are used?

[@nikibrown6217]

What size it the squares

[@carlawalker8219]

what foot are using?

[@wendyo9030]

I really like the quilt hanging behind you. Where can I find the pattern. is it also a KZbin video?

[@stilllearning1768]

It's the disappearing nine patch!! lol

[@pambrewer9082]

How did you make the quilt behind you?

[@TheNinawitteveen]

Hello Angela, thank you for your tutorial very easy to follow. how did you do that repeat design that showed many blocks together? could you tell me how that was done please? :)

[@sharyn452]

You have the best machine I love Brother Innovice QV

[@dianawhite3879]

Please could you say what the finished size of this block is. Thank you

[@teresahuston6650]

What size is your seam allowance?

[@susandakin9641]

What is the fabric used in this disappearing nine-patch quilt tutorial by Angela Pingel?

[@es78xx]

Do you have to make the same moves to create the same pattern on each 9 patch. Or can every one be different. ?

[@CraftsyYouTube]

You can make any pattern you like just lay it out like they do in the video to see what it will look like.

[@chachicastano7082]

Hola desde Colombia. Muy lindo y enseñas super . Pero porfavor subtítulos en español 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@rabbit00416]

hi, what sewing machine is it in this tutorial?

[@cyswendsen8675]

I'm not sure, but it looks like a Brother Innovis NX2000 or maybe Innovis NX800

[@ruthfreeman864]

Brother

[@carolyngarrod7514]

What is the finished block size?

[@melreally]

What is that metal piece by sewing foot...that keeps fabrics line up...

[@angief1330]

1/4 inch foot

[@melreally]

@@angief1330 can you buy that on any machine? Thanks...btw tried this tonight and my blocks are all wonky...😵

[@angief1330]

you can buy it on Amazon, just make sure it is compatible to your machine. My one is a generic foot that fits my Brother. You can trim your blocks before you sew them all together and don't forget, Wonky blocks are beautiful too! :-)

[@2847Katie]

Newbie here....Would someone explain why the block is not squared up before cutting in half. Thank you.

[@debramccafferty2918]

Kathleen G , When the seams are done a correct 1/4 inch, it doesn't need to be squared up. Be careful to press and not iron so the fabrics don't get distorted too. I hope this helps.

[@veevee111]

Kathleen G Kathleen G she mentioned that not all manufacturer makes their 5 inch charms an actual 5 inches; so I noticed these turned out a little off because she chose not to square the charms first. I also noticed she used a ¼ inch foot for accuracy.

[@curlyanneb1973]

What is that GIANT jelly roll looking thing called that you have in your shelf? That's a ton of fabric!

[@SMG001Nick]

9 disappearing patch

[@nafi5737]

How to make dress like this

[@sandradummer4726]

Your sewing machine sure is quilt, what brand is it? I have a new brothers machine.

[@tacksscherbo7771]

You would have to cut your own 5 inch "charms" from yardage in order to get that many duplicates as are represented in the quilt at the end of the video. The precut charms from purchased charm packs would never have all those duplicates.

[@dixielanehart7417]

Why in the world would you have the quilt that you have in the background when you are talking about the tossed nine patch? I clicked on here to see how you made the quilt that's hanging on the wall.

[@fortheloveduck]

Dixie Lanehart it is the 9 square disappearing quilt hanging on the wall. Instead of using the white fabric like in the tutorial, it was made using black fabric. I love it that way. It kind of makes it look like an optical illusion

[@ruthfreeman864]

Dixie Lanehart the quilt that is in the background is a disappearing 9 patch quilt the four squares that are Center top and bottom left and right we're all the same color the center where was contrasting and the corners didn't get chopped but it is a disappearing nine patch I've done that one it looks great

[@lindalasher3937]

So you cut 9 different squares and sew them together

[@caucasian1979]

Ö

[@bettymeggers3316]

,

[@debrakellerman7364]

Someone got upset because she said chopping up. Lol not too much grief in your neck of the woods huh

[@cheryl8280]

hahahaha no stress in her life!!! We don't say "chopped" in the quilting world. But thank you for the tutorial.

[@airmom8716]

Too funny! It is just communication right!

[@adrienegrzenia3278]

Life is too short to get your knickers in a twist about semantics. LOL

[@angelalansiquot8574]

She should have squared the block before cutting it into a disappearing 9 patch

[@user-vq4pu2ew4i]

Схема хорошая , только пять минут смотреть как сшиваются на машинке квадраты уж слишком долго. Не стоит нашего внимания.

[@Marla.22]

This has already been done by quilt in a day...nothing new

[@janetmcadamsbailey1874]

your point? there are so many tutorials on the same patterns, but different people are easier to listen to then others. Like I know Quilt in a Day designer opened the world to strip quilting, But No Way can I listen to her cutesy little squeaky voice and humor. SO there are a lot of great ideas and teachers and Nothing is really new.......Nor do you have to listen.

[@titus4166]

Stop slapping your mouth and lips. I couldn't watch the rest of it. It was driving me nuts!

[@MyKim1967]

I prefer to think of the art of quilting not as "chopping" up my fabric.
