Thank you so much 😀

[@arlenemcfadden3363]

Thank you so much. It is such a pleasure to see intricate looking designs that are made using the humble HST.

[@QuestioningQuilter]

I think the humble HST should get a promotion based on how many things it can do. 😉😂😂

I am so happy that you like the videos. Two of my previous tutorial used charm packs: Moroccan Tiles kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqiuXpuipNarhbs Double Vision kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYXHhIiYrcR5bsk I am sure that I will use them again at some point in the future. Meanwhile, I hope that you enjoy these two.

Both 😊. Love your Quilts’s

[@QuestioningQuilter]

Thank you!

[@OutRagaous]

I want it all! Simple, yes, please. Variation of 2 blocks? Yes, please. More interesting? Yes, please. More content! I enjoy the twisting and the Aiyiyi! Why didn't I think of that? But my advantage of watching you is reach. I don't have a channel, and I am happy to watch you. 😊 Thanks for more!

[@QuestioningQuilter]

LOL! A woman after my heart, you want it all. I guess I better get busy. I wish I had time to make more than 1 per month, but I am doing the best I can. My hardest decision now, is what to make next. I listen to my viewers and want to keep you happy. My next video is going to be some sort of disappearing 9 -Patch (or an unusual variation), based on viewer requests. Based on these requests, April is going to be a little more complex. Hope you like it. 😁

[@carmenbell77]

Thanx for exploring the opportunities, so that I don’t have to. Keep ‘‘em coming. 👍

[@karenwood7393]

I really like this video because you showed on the screen the measure sizes of the block. This really helps.

[@QuestioningQuilter]

Thanks for letting me know that was useful to you. I will try to remember to include it in future videos. I really appreciate you letting me know what parts you like so that I can keep improving. Happy Quilting.

[@lynnefloreani1063]

Once again, you’ve done a great explanation of how to build your quilt! I’m not a fan of using eighth measurements, but your beautiful quilts are pushing me out of my comfort zone. Yes to all your offerings! I’ll watch them all💕

[@QuestioningQuilter]

I am so happy that you like the videos. I understand about the 1/8" measurements but in order to use a charm pack or layer cake that is what is necessary to make the sub-blocks perfectly square. You can use different sized HST Blocks (see the chart on my website: questioningquilter.com/chart/) so that the cutting measurement are easier. For example if you start with 6 3/4" squares, turned into HST Blocks trimmed to 6 1/4". You would cut 2" from the center seam and end up with a block that is 11" unfinished and 10 1/2" finished. This quilt would then be 63" X 63". Thanks for watching.

[@lavonnethompson117]

Totally awesome.

[@QuestioningQuilter]

Thanks so much.

[@abhelix]

I would be interested in a little of both. Simple is great for us newbies, but eventually we'll get more confidence and want to try the more complex. I look forward to your videos! I've watched them all so far! I'm wanting to try them all! 🙂 Thank you again for sharing your knowledge!

[@QuestioningQuilter]

A little of both it is. The quilts so far have been very simple. Hopefully I can start making some of them a little more complex. This design was a test to see if two different blocks in one quilt would cause a problem. It seems like you are up to the challenge! Thanks for giving me this feedback.

[@abhelix]

[@QuestioningQuilter]

Woot Woot! Quilters Heaven, where your needle never breaks and all your seams are straight. The thing that I love best about the disappearing blocks is how easy it is to get a complicated looking block. I am so glad that you like them. I would love to see whatever you make.

[@emarie7591]

Brita I just love your videos. So I’m game for whatever you decide, simple or complex. But what I would love is that you make it a series…. Like complex disappearing #1,#2 etc. Thanks!!

[@QuestioningQuilter]

I was thinking, that if people want more complex I would slowly increase the complexity, the first one showing positive and negative images, then moving on to mirror image blocks. I am not sure about what you mean by making them a series. Do you mean that I should label it differently than the ones I am doing now? I am afraid that if I put a number on the title of the quilt, it might stop someone from clicking on the thumbnail. Can you give me a little more information about what you mean. You can answer here, or email me. I take the comments by my viewer very seriously. You are the reason I am doing this.

[@aprilmorehouse9639]

My eyes widen on the mirror option. I am curious about the ?photo negative? What ever you do is beautiful.

[@QuestioningQuilter]

Yes, the mirror and photo negative options mean that there are a whole lot more different ways the blocks can be arranged to make beautiful quilts. The negative image is where the light and dark blocks are reversed. I show a quick example of this in at the end of the Jubilee video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKu8p6aNbbSWhbc I am thinking that April's video will have positive and negative images in one quilt.

Fascinated by your choices of putting pieces together! And yes please, more!, more!. I notice video quality getting better and better.

[@QuestioningQuilter]

Thank you so much for the feedback. I have been working hard to increase the production quality. Except for some technical support by my son, I have been doing all this by myself in my spare room. I am really learning as I go. Thank you so much for commenting on this. It has been a lot of work and the appreciation really makes me feel good. What to wear is always a question. When I wear solid, or near solid colors some people comment that it is too dull. LOL Right now I am just going through my closet trying not to wear the same thing twice. Hopefully winter is almost over and I have a few nice blouses to wear for the summer.

[@maryequilter31]

I love ALL the variation! Thanks so much for sharing. QUESTION: do you use EQ8 or other design software to help with layouts and variations? Just curious

[@QuestioningQuilter]

I do use EQ8. That is how I generate all the different options that I show. I was worried that people wouldn't want to see the computer generated images, but it seems they do.

[@SandyS.787]

Which approach for the next video? Please start with simple but "all of the above," perhaps one at a time. Love your organized approach and that you don't waste time showing us how to sew. Thanks for undertaking this work.

[@QuestioningQuilter]

Thank you so much for the feedback. I will start easy with the slightly more complicated designs. If you can do this quilt then you will be able to do the next one. I appreciate the reassurance that I am go going too fast or two slow on the turorials.

[@silverstarfinder]

Welp, I concede. These blocks are some of the hardest, worst ones I have ever made. The center seam of the pinwheels is so built up that when I get to the point of cutting the 1 3/8” away from the center seam, it *looks* right, but then repiecing it…. I have fifteen blocks that are all failures. Everything comes out wonky. In some places the cut is so off that there is no seam allowance to piece with. I have a perfect block when I start - when it’s still a pinwheel - and then it all goes to hell. I give up.

[@QuestioningQuilter]

I am so sorry to hear that you are having problems with this. If you want to give it one more go, please email me with pictures of what you have so far and I can probably see what is going on and help you get it right. This goes for anyone else having troubles. My email is: [e-mail] There are a couple of things you can try to reduce the bulk in the center. 1. There is a technique called either pinwheeling, fanning, popping or spinning the back of the seam. I didn't spend a lot of time looking, but here is a video that demonstrates the technique. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHmum2hqZ6x3fKs I usually use a seam ripper, but her method will also work. 2. I use a tailor's clapper. My husband made me one out of wood, but basically it is just a weight to hold the fabric in place after pressing. Since the fabric cools while it is held down, it is less likely to spring back. You don't have to go out and buy one, a fat book will work just fine. Please let me know how I can help you.

[@QuestioningQuilter]

Absolutely! A 12" Finished Block would start with 7" Half Square Triangles making a 13 1/2″ pinwheel. You would cut 2 1/4″ from the center seam. I have a chart telling you the measurements for lots of different sized blocks: questioningquilter.com/chart/ Let me know if this helps.

Wow, another wonderful idea!! I don't use the 8 HST method because of the bias...but I am going to try it with 5" squares and see what happens. Thanks so much!!

[@QuestioningQuilter]

This method doesn't have a bias. You are probably thinking about the method where you make 4 HST's from a Layer Cake. In the 4 HST method you sew around the edges (the straight grain) then cut the block and are left with bias edges all around. For the 8 HST method, imagine four charms laid out in a 2 by 2 grid. You are sewing down either side of the center and cutting after it is sewn. Just like you do with the 5" squares. All of the raw edges are straight with the grain of the fabric. It will of course work with 5" squares as well.

That first square looks too much like a swastika for my taste.

Hi Heather, I certainly understand your feelings. The Whirlygig block by itself does look vaguely like that. Truthfully, all pinwheel blocks have a little bit of that look. I intentionally made the pinwheels go the direction they do so that the rectangle bars go the opposite direction of the hate symbol. I think that the image is most noticeable when the block is by itself, but when the quilt is put together I think that that image is lost. Especially, in the quilts that are made entirely of the Whrilygig blocks. They don't look that way at all to me. If you notice, when I did the red, white and blue version, I said that it didn't look good with the colors on diagonal. That is because, in that layout the individual blocks were highlighted and had that disturbing look. I certainly didn't mean any offence when making this quilt, and I wouldn't want you to make any sort of design that makes you feel uncomfortable.
