Thank you for this tutorial....love this block and the fact that I learned something new in reference to cutting the directional fabric corners.

[@MarciaBaker1205]

Great pattern & quilt the fabric is darling. Thanks for the free pattern 🙂

[@BJ7481]

Thank you, I'm going to increase my fabric amounts and use my Creative Grids Cats Cradle ruler. I love this unit and I love using this ruler to make the cats cradle units. I will be purchasing the complete pattern. STAY SAFE. BJ

[@MarciaBaker1205]

Looking forward to making the block for Vintage Remix QAL😁

[@sandramorrissey4377]

Hi

[@gail4530]

I’ve ordered this kit from your shop. We’ve recently began a renovation on our ranch farmhouse which should be close to complete by Christmas. This throwquilt will be a perfect piece to add to our new living room! I look forward to receiving it soon!

[@susangriffin7411]

I'm a fan of Triangles on a Roll. In a future demo perhaps on a Friday live, can you explain how to use Triangles on a Roll when using directional fabric . I'd like to have all triangles going in the same direction. Thanks

[@lynnperschke3966]

Great tips and tricks love this block

[@juliamason8393]

Do you use the same thread in the bobbin as you use in the needle?

[@sarahbush2727]

Does anybody else have a problem figuring out where on the block the accent, background, etc will go? I wish the picture of the block had the letters on it. Almost finished but my corners need to be redone with different fabric. Oh well.

[@bobbiejoyce1402]

What a great tutorial!! I love this pattern. I am very interested in the Vintage patterns. I am only into the QUILTING adventure about 9 months. I am so addicted. I think your hands are beautiful. ☺👍😉

Hi Kimberly! Great tutorial! Love how you add your tips; cutting, pinning or sewing. They really help and the results are beautiful! Thanks!!

[@godschild3547]

Thanks so much for telling me about the snowflake part to cut opposite sides!! I've been gong mad wondering what i did and wasting fabric to get it right so thank youuuu🤗🙏🏻

[@darlenerichter1013]

Absolutely love your tips regarding directional fabric. I never knew this, learned something new and thank you for that❤️❤️

Thank you so much for these videos. I love vintage but then I'm vintage lol. With this covid stuff, I have too much idle time and this helps pass the day. Thank you. Plus I've learned so much and I just wish I had been sewing when I was younger

[@eileenemberger3969]

Such great directions

[@karameldreem]

I love this channel.

[@ninagillenwater4502]

How Pretty!!! Thank You!!!

[@gwynwellliver4489]

Can't beat a twofer! Thank you! If I want to do the large quilt, would I need fat quarters?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Gwyn! The instructions for making a large quilt are included in the requirements.

[@jeanmerrill8777]

I love the tips that you give us

[@T_i_n_a_]

❤️💚❤️

[@lauriee348]

Beautiful!! Can we use the foundation paper piecing square within a square for this to make it a little easier?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Laurie! The size of the foundation paper is larger than the block size so if you wanted to use it you would have to make the blocks larger.

[@veraluciasalaromiossi9864]

Lindos blocos,👏

[@KimberlyNichols]

Thank you!

[@ancooper6882]

When I am sewing anything with a triangle like your square in a square, before trimming the excess off I fold the triangle piece that you're keeping on top of the part that your discarding and iron it because you can make sure that it matches exactly. Then I flip it back and trim off the excess. I have found that this might take a little bit more work but it makes my blocks a lot more accurate

[@cindiep2580]

Excellent suggestion! Works great of flying geese too.

[@shellymsolway2219]

Thank you another great pattern 💕
