[@mindygooding9458]

Classic and Vintage is my favorite!! On this block, I wish the star was more evident in the middle of the block as in the original!!

[@kathyeggleston1725]

I love this pattern and the fabric!

[@AbelTravel]

Excellent tutorial and very easy to follow instructions. Thank you.

[@BrendaH289]

❤love this block! Excellent job!

[@pattygardner231]

Love your blouse. That is a perfect color for you. The necklace is perfect, too.

[@kymburriss4260]

Oh my goodness, I have the original pattern in a collection from my grandmother. She saved them for a few years, and I have them now.

[@carolmorgano7158]

Great tutorial thanks 👍👏🥰🌸🇦🇺

Beautiful

[@TreebeardsHome]

I adore making old blocks modern. So glad you have a series. I’ve been working with those old ‘Kansas City blocks’ on the quilt I’ve been making in honor of my grandparents. It’s taken me years, but the idea is to use all blocks that my grandparents would have known as children, in their baby quilts, but make it in bold greens and white to modernize it. Then embroider their names & family surnames in the corners. I wanted to thank you for your extensive list of free patterns, including cross stitch, & the page of links to manufactures’ free patterns. Also, thank you for making tutorials for free patterns. Being disabled and on a fixed income, seeing you do tutorials for free patterns is a huge deal. It makes me feel represented. Not everyone can buy each beautiful pattern, after beautiful pattern, no matter how much we wish it, lol. And, while tutorials are awesome, if I can’t access the pattern because of my living situation, then I don’t learn a great deal from that tutorial. So, I want to say, I’m very grateful that you offer so many free patterns, both for quilting & for cross stitch. I’m also grateful for your clear & professional tutorials for free patterns. Thank you. Have a great day.

This pattern was released by the Kansa City Star for quilters who often made this during Lent. So the “Lenten Needleworkers” just refers to any quilters who would be quilting during the Lenten season.

1933!? Cuuuuuuute❤❤❤

[@kristiedentice7030]

So cool, how you are redoing vintage patterns. Love it.

[@pamelamiller3215]

Thankyou Kimberly showing us a lovely vintage block

[@rsplatt100]

Very nice job!

[@joanndeisenroth9031]

So many beautiful quilts, so little time!

[@marq9955]

I love this series! The old, new again. Continue reviving these classics after all we are ALL getting older and wiser…true colors

[@varshakean6331]

Love the block

[@denisepineda1788]

Wow, I love the way this pattern looks. It looks phenomenal in the fabrics you chose. It is so beautiful, Kimberly. Thanks a bunch for continuing to bring us these classic and vintage quilt blocks. I love them so much. I appreciate you taking the time to do these videos. You continue to teach me to be a good quilter.

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

Such a beautiful quilt. A lovely chat! Thanks for sharing!

[@sheilacraft5027]

What a great block! Not one I've seen before.

[@SharonCarbine]

You are so good, Kimberly! Perfect presentation in all respects. BRAVO!

[@cindyransom202]

Gorgeous!

[@stephanniemetz3610]

Thank you Kimberly and team FQS!

[@susangeisler7426]

Beautiful! Thank you!

[@laurahamilton4570]

Happy Day- a new classic and vintage block. I love this series, thanks, FQS! 💜💙

[@brendaoberle2001]

That's a fun quilt! Love the fabric too. That would make a great kids quilt!!

[@donnarichey144]

Your blocks are always so neat and on point. Thank you for sharing.

[@roseerickson3631]

I love the 6 1/2 inch ruler.

[@notesfromleisa-land]

Beautiful "Old may new again". Thanks for showing the glue basting of the corner blocks. (As a serial glue baster, it is confirmation bias!) It makes for an efficient staging of work while keeping pieces attached until ready to sew. And once you sew, you can be assured of no slip and no distortion from pins. An alternative construction method to reduce some fabric waste is to use the CG Folded Corner Clipper (MVP ruler). It will create the engineered corner on the base block and will create no waste for the corner fabric deployed by cutting engineered corners from a right sized-strip. The ruler does all of the work as it includes seam allowances in each cut.

[@patriciaruppert201]

Yet another free pattern. Thank you so much for the tutorial. ❤️❤️

[@robertaarrowsmith2860]

I sew love your Vintage Quilts tutorials. Making "old" blocks new. I remember those days of templates. Sew ❤ our modern tools. Thanks, Kimberly, for this tutorial.

[@grumpy_poo]

Yes, we are so lucky to have the modern tools... How skilled those quilters were in days gone by.

[@rainydaydiva6320]

I Love vintage quilt blocks. This is lovely fabric. Thanks for breaking this down & sharing the free pattern.

[@margm4]

Thanks Kimberley, because it so big, I’ll make a tabletopper, or nice size pillow. Love your fabric choices ❤️🇦🇺

[@malusantos1551]

Love, love your work! Thank you 🙏🏻

[@livingweirdestherc6644]

What a neat block.

[@grumpy_poo]

Such beautiful work clearly demonstrated .. thank you.

[@kathyf3656]

This is a very nice block and I am so glad you were able to revise it for quilters today. Thank you. (My only negative comment on the video is the constant advertising. You said at the beginning you used a Creative Grid ruler. We get it. You don't have to repeat the company name every time you use it.)

[@teresaannborchers6769]

Yet another pattern and material line I love. Great tutorial. Very well explained. ❤️

[@sew4lifeu55]

Thank you for another great video.

[@joyscranfield5527]

This is a lovely old block! Think my Aunt Catherine pieced this block years ago. TY for sharing the free block pattern. Think I'll try it in shades of beige & tan.

[@marieerickson9695]

Thank you for this tutorial…I love this block. It is so pretty and the fabric is delightful!

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Thanks everyone ❣️

[@laprofemiss1]

I can't believe I only just found your website and your youtube channel! You should have at least a million subscribers!! 😍Thank you so much for all of your videos, they're so helpful. I especially love the editing/camera angles because it's so easy to see everything that you're doing

[@karenpatriquin8370]

With the seam align glue you can put the iron on your fabric and the glue will set in seconds, then you don't have to wait for it to dry.

[@peach.lambert]

This is spectacular!

[@bethglenmaddie]

Thanks for sharing! I have Covid right now (our entire family has it!) so I can't do any quilting, but I'm resting and watching your videos to satisfy my quilting itch, LOL. It's very good therapy!

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

We hope that you and your family recover soon!

[@bettywilliams3346]

I love this pattern, thank you Kimberly. I'm through my stash to what I have to make a spring table runner with this pattern and the starry charms pattern.

[@emarie7591]

Kimberly! Thank you so much for yet another delightfully entertaining and educational video! Oh and as to what “Lenten” means? Likely refers to the period of Lent which falls between Ash Wednesday and Easter. So if the date of that snip from the Kansas City star corresponds to this then there you have your answer!

[@person2463]

Agree regarding lenten

[@marlenethompson864]

Nice block!

[@sandrafulton4351]

Thank you for this tutorial. St. Gregory was Pope during the middle ages and the Lenten season is the 40 days prior to Easter. Since Catholic households prepare for Easter by fasting and abstinence during Lent, I suspect that the ladyfolk :) would take this opportunity to quilt.

[@MarciaBaker1205]

The fabric is gorgeous! I can't afford many more shopping sprees. I've already used the gift card from FQS by the end of Dec lol love the block Kimberly y'all do really fine work

[@beatricevonkanel1630]

Thank you!!!

[@juliamason8393]

Using the Frixon pen,, It disappears with heat but comes back with cold

[@notesfromleisa-land]

As it gets cut on that line, it really does not matter what one chooses to use. I use Pima pen or graphite pencil. Never with any problem. I don't even own a Frixion pen.

[@jaeltay]

Hi, Could you please tell me what needles Kimberly is using in this video. Thanks!

[@lisetteweatherford4006]

Is there anywhere I can find the colors that were used in this quilt? The kit is sold out and I’d still like to make this exact one

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Lisette! We do not have the exact colors listed but the collection is available here: bit.ly/3nBGkn2

[@mimiham6194]

Is Aurifil floss the same as thread?

[@patsycremer1278]

No, the floss is for cross stitch or hand embroidery.

[@mimiham6194]

@@patsycremer1278 ok, thank you. She mentioned the white floss in the beginning. I don’t do embroidery, yet. 🙂

[@T_i_n_a_]

😍😍😍

[@judyvance1556]

What is the benefit of pressing seams open?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Judy! We decided to press open on this quilt to help reduce the amount of bulk in the seams.

[@busybeejordan]

Is this pattern fat quarter friendly?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello busybeejordan! The tablerunner can be made with some Fat Quarters, but the rest of the fabric requirements need larger cuts. You can see the full fabric requirements list on the PDF pattern information bit.ly/3Gy2jUy

[@judyvance1556]

Why press seams open?

[@sew4lifeu55]

By pressing open certain seams it will reduce the bulk in the seam you will be sewing. Sometimes there are just too many layers of fabric to go through.

[@lauriedault5094]

Really have to be careful on this one.
