I love the name of your quilting channel. Thank you for sharing!

[@janmorrison7924]

Very nice and will make a nice quiet for giving friends

[@revelationquilts]

Thank you for watching!

[@peterivkovich2314]

From Gerry- What a great, easy quilt! I turn my scraps into 5" squares so I have enough to make a throw size. Blessings.

[@revelationquilts]

Great idea! Enjoy!

[@diannplatt-roberts8692]

Great tutorial. I made notes so that I can use some of my charm squares.

[@revelationquilts]

Have fun!

[@CopycatQuilter]

You have the coolest quilts with such simple blocks that they could be someone’s first quilt! ❤

[@doreensherk287]

❤I really like that quilt.

[@revelationquilts]

Thank you! It was super fun to make

[@dannamcgowen3889]

I love your creativity. You come up with such interesting patterns. I personally don't like working with tiny pieces so I would start by sewing 1/4" down two opposite sides of the charm square pairs then cut 1" off each of those sides so the thin strips are sewn together before cutting them. I'm adding this to me "To do" list.😊

[@revelationquilts]

That sounds like a great alternative way to make this! Thanks for the kind words.

[@ru4repeattoo]

@@dannamcgowen3889 brilliant hack to create the same pieces, but work with larger bits to start!! 🤩

[@Amal2365]

Pretty quilt

[@patriciaseager6035]

Nice easy pattern. A suggestion - if your cutting mat has a light side the dark blocks would show better.

[@judykiesow3922]

I just found you recently found your videos and I love them!! I purchased the Fossil Charm Packs and plan on making the diamonds. I made a wall hanging of the 3D blocks but it still needs to be quilted. Thanks for all your help!!

[@revelationquilts]

Awesome! Thank you! I'm so happy that you're making them!

[@juliamedina1214]

This is only the second of your tutorials that I have watched. I like the way you take your time to show how you're doing things. Love the colors in this quilt. The simple design looks amazing all put together

[@revelationquilts]

Awesome, thank you!

[@jackietucker8942]

Really enjoying your channel. I'm a scrap quilter so quilts like this are perfect for me. I buy flannel backed cheap tablecloths too. AND if you have space, tape two together and enlarge the area for larger quilts.

[@revelationquilts]

Great tip!

[@doracamarena7964]

Very pretty colors !!! Great job .!!!!!

[@loraineleuschke4186]

Love the brightness and colors.

[@denisepineda1788]

It came out great. This is a simple pattern anyone could do. It would also look great if someone was trying to use up their scraps and it could be modified by using other size blocks as well. I love the borders. Thanks for sharing!!

[@revelationquilts]

Absolutely!! Thank you for watching!

[@doreenjaeger2744]

Have you tried sewing on both sides of 5in square and cutting your 1in strips from each side after sewing?

[@revelationquilts]

If I'm understanding what you're saying, we'd end up with the same result, right? Whatever technique is easiest for you is the best one! Thank you for the great suggestion!

[@phyllisclark5011]

I love this quilt. Thank you.

[@terribishop5313]

Happy colors ! I don't care for borders but that's really nice and definitely has me rethinking. Thank you for your great easy tutorials.

[@revelationquilts]

Thank you so much!

[@dorothyschaack1490]

Thank you for this tutorial. This would be a great idea for a scrappy quilt

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

Thank you

[@cherylwilliams42]

I know that this was years ago but your camera seems to be the ‘Eagle eye lens’ or something so nothing looks square from where I’m sitting. But thank you for sharing. I’ve never liked charm packs but this is a good way to use them.

[@revelationquilts]

I used a different when this was filmed. I now use something which has the ability to 'square' the picture up a bit more.

[@sandywilkerson8525]

Really simple! Love the colors.😊

[@revelationquilts]

Thank you!

[@jmurphy7192]

Love your tutorial! I also used a flannel-backed tablecloth from a thrift store for my design wall. Wish I would have found a checked one like yours. Thanks for leaving your ironing “oops” in the video - we’ve all been there, done that! 😉. Definitely saving this design to use with leftovers from Charm packs.

[@sharonlyman3029]

Love this. Tks for tip on design cloth.

[@loraineleuschke4186]

Love this block. Already have fabrics in mind and dimension at finale decided. I am going to do a big quilt. Tyfs!👍🏼🫶🏻😍

[@revelationquilts]

Wonderful!

[@lyndapatrick8303]

Very pretty

[@revelationquilts]

Thank you! Much Love

[@quiltingtothenines4254]

Graphically exciting. The colors are fun and bright. I tend to be a non-border kinda gal ... I think the quilts look more modern but your choice of using borders looks beautiful too. Thank you for sharing.

[@revelationquilts]

Thank you so much!

[@nicolerose4980]

Oh looks fun and easy to do.. definitely going to try… thanks for the pattern!😊

[@notesfromleisa-land]

I did my design wall with pink foam core 4 x 8 (2) panels and covered with batting using pneumatic staple gun. It has the advantage of my being able to hang large pieces. I use 2 prong pins which is not so hard on fabric for large pieces. Regarding precuts... Some are ridiculously cut. You showed great way to compensate for wonkj measures

[@lazare62]

I like your design wall tip: the lines of the checkerboard design of the tablecloth (showing through the flannel) will help with the lining up of the blocks! Great block! Thank you for sharing. Note to self: about 33" x 34.5" without borders @24:34; with borders about 46" by 45" @25:24

[@sandywilkerson8525]

Subscribed! Love your way of teaching..Thank you!😊

[@revelationquilts]

Thank you Sandy!

[@patl869]

I just found this video. It's a great pattern. I have to think about the pressing though. I don't like the way seam allowances show on the light colored fabrics.

[@revelationquilts]

That never bothered me much. I’m sure you can alter the pressing.

[@loraineleuschke4186]

My design wall is also a Dollar Tree $1.00 vinyl top tablecloth with flannel back. It is tacked onto my wall next to my machine table behind the door. It has served me well for several years now.

[@gailjernigan2482]

Beautiful but simple quilt!! Did you know your feed dogs can take in the little bit of fabric when 2 blocks are just not exactly thee same size? Looking at the little bit of waste you had, this hack may have saved you the time used to square up your blocks. To use this hack, put the slightly bigger charm square/block on the bottom when sewing 2 blocks together. Put the other charm square/ block on top. After you have taken 2-3 stitches, leaving the needle down, match the bottom 2 corners exactly and finish your seam. The feed dogs will keep the fabrics/blocks together. Hope this helps you in the future! Happy quilting!! 🥰

[@revelationquilts]

Great tip!!
