Thank you. You’re a great teacher

[@ChristianAustinite]

Thank you for showing the back, it's important especially for us learners.

[@joydavis3089]

Love this video. No favorite I like them all.

[@melindafisher1584]

Good morning from the U.S.! Four patch blocks are so versatile...thank you for all the lovely ideas and your clear, precise instructions. An easy video to watch and makes me want to head to my sewing room.

[@alisonmary1443]

Thank you, thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial, I am cutting squares and have no idea what I want to do them. This was most helpful.

[@bettytullis461]

I really enjoyed this tutorial. You do a good job explaining the steps and I like the variety of the blocks you've shown. Thank you for your time!

[@sheilakethley5351]

Two pins-let’s go nuts-quote of the day!

[@nursekate6772]

I cut all my scraps into 2 1/2" squares or 2 1/2" strips and I actually created my own jelly rolls from scraps! So versatile with these measurements

[@bonniestalhiem8025]

My favorite is the Battenberg Block 👍🏻👵🏻

[@user-er2fm7dl5r]

Wonderful tutorial! Now just to find the time. Thank you

[@MariaDoricheva]

Thank you! Great tutorial, lots of options, clear presentation.

[@shellyculver4239]

Love these. Thank you ❤

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Beautiful blocks...thanks❤

[@yvonnemoretti7646]

All of them are favorites and would look great as a sample quilt. Thank you

[@annarodriguez9868]

I've thoroughly enjoyed watching you work! Right now I'm not able to get any sewing done, but just watching you sew and the whirring sound of the sewing machine has been so calming. I had to laugh when you got your pieces a little mixed up before cutting and you stopped yourself! Yes, measure twice and cut once! I'm sure you would have found a way to use your mistake in another quilt. Thank you! It was lovely to visit your sewing room!

[@wandawalker4191]

Great ideas, thank you!

[@debbiebrewington7635]

Thank you for this tutorial!! 😊 I have to say I’ve always leaned toward the disappearing 4 patch - but I enjoyed them all. Is great seeing them side by side!!

[@veraweeks8534]

Great video!

[@marthapowers634]

enjoyed this tutorial.....THANK YOU for sharing--will continue to watch future videos

[@marilynnjefferson8525]

Nice! Thanks.

[@carolroeder9032]

When you're making the Grandma's Flower Garden, you never showed yourself removing the paper underneath as you sewed it on? When do you remove it, please? By the way, you are one of the best teachers I've seen! ❤✏️✂️📏🪡🧵

[@SewingStudio]

Hello Carol, Thanks for the lovely words. We aren't sure what video you're referring to - we don't recall demonstrating 'grandmas flower garden'. Are you referring to the english paper piecing? Hope to hear back.

[@nancyarchibald9095]

Very cute. I like this pattern better than the simple Irish chain. I've been meaning to make one... now I can choose this instead. Thx !

[@sandraelliott]

Project Linus is in GB too! Good to know that😊

[@helenmanning8066]

Thank you for this video. The four patch may be humble but it is mighty in quilt patterns.

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

Thanks for sharing

[@debbiebraatz1919]

Great way of using 2 1/2” squares ❤😊

[@nancymacdonald8968]

[@pampeterson3092]

Thank you for sharing. I need to organize my scraps and make some 4-patch scrappy quilts. I enjoy your videos.

[@Cora-zk4xs]

Thank you for this - another lovely tutorial. I love the square in a square!

[@Auntie7024]

Wonderful. Thank you for sharing this tutorial, Jeanette.

[@mayg.m.3767]

A lot of chances from a four patch. I love the idea of the leader and ender projects, it’s so satisfying. I love your videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@user-ng3gg5pe1v]

Thank you so much,as always....some lovely simple ideas that look amazing.Id like to wish you all at The Sewing Studio a very Happy Christmas 🎁

[@robintaylor8421]

[@stitchann]

[@simplyquiltingwithnancysanders]

Just discovered your channel. Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas.❤

[@shanegeis2696]

Excellent video thank you, always enjoy your tutorials ❤❤❤

[@debbiereynolds9276]

Glad you mentioned the framed 4 patch. I happened to watch Katrina’s video on the Battenburg block and had some leftover jelly roll strips in the civil war fabrics and was hooked. I have them cut and when I get a break now and then I sit and sew blocks and add to my basket. Love your other ideas as I love 4 patch quilts. Thank you for sharing!!!🪡🧵🙏

[@cindyhappel7376]

I love all of your tutorials!! This one was very informative and I can’t wait to make some of them.

[@penniestout8878]

Very nice! Love your blocks today 😊great idea for getting a second quilt done while working on something else. As always love your videos ❤️

[@hanaansari5975]

My favorite is the disappearing 4 patche

[@lizreynolds4554]

Thank you for sharing this with us.❤ I really appreciate it. You explain and demonstrate very well. I learned new ways to do interesting "four patches." I love that triple idea. Have a blessed day 💕😊

[@martinstratton8758]

really interesting tutorial Jeanette and I have picked up a lot of tips from you thank you xx

[@tonistevens2253]

Great tutorial today! Looking forward to making some of these for my Project Linus quilt tops!

[@louanncox1446]

thank you!

[@anitaznoy2807]

Have lots of scrap 5” squares that I can use up

[@sharonsoule8251]

Lovely blocks! What line of fabric is the red print in your disappearing 4 patch?

[@michellejaggard9657]

When you did the Square in a square on point. Using 2 1/2 " squares for center how do you know it is a 4" block? How do you figure the size of the outer (what ends up triangles) blocks? Say I had 5" blocks or 3" blocks for the 4 patch, How do I figure the size of the background blocks?

[@traceyogar2798]

Can I ask why you sew the little bit of fabric after you do your blocks ?

[@SewingStudio]

Hi Tracey. Jeanette uses a ‘starter scrap’ at the beginning of her blocks to avoid any of the fabric getting caught in the needle plate hole.
