Here is a link to the video featuring the old quilt that inspired this block: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bavEgYuaeLB1eKs . The block is a variation of Edna's Choice (#101) according the book 5500 Quilt Block Designs by Maggie Malone.

You guys don’t need to pin and actually it doesn’t help the fabric lay flat. I use glue or that wonder tape. Super simple don’t need to spend time taking pins out as you’re sewing it’s so fast I found a similar type of wonder tape at Joann fabric and it works just as well. And I got a lot more for a dollar the wonder tape brand is a little bit more pricey

@@dcwatashiThat stuff is spendy and has issues of its own! I love my love my yellow-head pins, 500 pack! You should see the ladies at the shop flip.over my nice crisp intersections on my *heavy-fabric, with everything from cordouroy to sateen finishes, damask, upholstery, etc, 1199+ separate squares* --- that stuff goes walking no matter how you hold it! Yes, perhaps basic cotton holds itself in place almost perfectly, but most other fabrics have other ideas. Longer pins enable you to pin without buckling the fabric, and also assist in stress-free "taking up" of excess length, since you sit and split the difference with pins until you like the distribution, then as you sew you can relax just trust that you placed the pins well, and enjoy your beautiful seam!

Your object might have been to show us how to do the scrappy quilt block and yes, I really enjoyed this but what I valued most was the lesson on how to square up your block. I was given a whole bunch of blocks made by different people and asked to sew them together. My mind went blank because all the squares were, well, not uniform in their square and I didn't know where to start. Especially too because I had cut and made some blocks to go with it too. Mine all matched, other blocks matched each other but nothing was uniform. Now I can fix it all up. Finally, I know what I am doing!!!!!!! Thank you.

Great tutorial. Block looks like Idaho Square dance? Thank you for sharing. I just bought the janome 6700 on black Friday. I'm loving my new machine.

I had to look this one up! I had never heard of it. When I did the Lessons from an Old Quilt video on the old quilt that inspired this block, I found a similar pattern in the book 5500 Quilt Block Designs by Maggie Malone. It looks like a variation of Edna's Choice (#101 in the book), but I agree! It is a variation of Idaho Square Dance, too! Thank you for this! So happy you love your Janome 6700! I love mine, too! That and my Juki are my two go-to machines. ❤️
