Finished my entire quilt top today. I have NEVER matched seams as well as I have with this quilt. I have never had someone explain in such easy terms, the process of squaring up the blocks. Thank you!

[@SewtheDistance]

Oh my goodness! YAY! I am so happy this tutorial was helpful! That's what it is all about! I just did the Happy Dance in my living room! Yay! Yay! Yay! Thank you so much for sharing and your kindness AND for making this quilt! You made my day! ❤️

I love this video & your way of explaining things. I'm not a beginner but learned a few things on this video. Thanks. I will subscribe.

[@ritawhitney210]

Being a newbie this looks so easy. I love the layer cake colors that you did in scraps. I think it’s great to also do the scrappy version. Because color and values are so much harder in the beginning. Thanks for the quilt demo. And I think it’s great to show us older quilts. 😊

[@SewtheDistance]

I'm just getting back to quilting after 20ish years. This tutorial was so clear - I think after I finish my husband's 9 patch, I'll do this pattern. Love the quilting you showed on your sample table runner too. I don't have a long arm. I'm from the days of hand quilting, so everything will either be machine or hand quilted. Hoping to start now and make a quilt for all my family members (6 brothers, 2 adult children, and a niece), so I better get busy. Now if only quilting fabric hadn't gone up in price LOL

[@SewtheDistance]

Welcome back to quilting! I love this! I don't have a longarm either, so I usually quilt on my domestic machine or send my quilts to a longarmer. I would love to learn to hand quilt. I have done a little bit of it, but not much. Glad you are back to quilting!

[@angieallen4884]

I love layer cake pre-cuts because of the beautiful prints that already co-ordinate and one gets to use the whole collection! This is a great pattern to show off a collection and I appreciate that there was no additional yardage to make up the blocks. This will enter my rotation right away; I have three layer cakes to choose from already in my stash! Thanks for your enthusiasm and excellent content!

I love the way you showed how to do this quilt. I have previously watch the double slice by MSQ and I messed it all up I think I will be able to do this one by your different tips. I will be going to quilt retreat in 3 weeks. I think this is one I am going to attempt to do I have many layer cakes to use so this will be a good way to use them. I am thinking I would kind of like to do a border or two, any suggestions please. This was a very clear and concise tutorial.

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much! I am thrilled you love this one! I will be great on a retreat. It works up quickly and is so much fun! As for borders, love the idea! I haven't finished mine yet (I need to!) and was thinking about putting borders on them. Because the quilt has a lot of movement, I am going to go with a small orange print as a skinny inner border (1.5" or so) and then a dark brown as an outer border (4-5"), but I think this really lends itself to anything you'd like. Hope this helps! Thanks again for watching and sharing! ❤️

love that your layer cake pattern actually needs & uses most of a layer cake square. (I've ran into too many that could be made with a jelly roll or 5 inch squares instead. Pet peeve of mine.)
