So glad this is still available. I have a tremendous fear of cutting fabric - fear which actually paralyzes me and brings me to tears. However, after reading the comments section I realize everyone has fears about starting something new whether they realize it or not. Thank you for teaching us, and sharing your in depth knowledge so well.mom2pekes2https://www.blogger.com/profile/00404787132981231604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347662658917669211.post-1487587569517915692014-01-03T08:59:26.878-06:002014-01-03T08:59:26.878-06:00I just made my first ever quilt block thanks to yo...I just made my first ever quilt block thanks to your amazing tutorial!

My machine is getting its annual tuneup, and I plan to start this as soon as I get it back.<br /><br />In case you're still checking comments, I'll offer some insight to photo lighting: A few years back a photography instructor recommended the high-efficiency bulbs labeled "daylight" in ordinary shop clamp-lamps. Works like a charm for all sorts shoots. I was able to make it look like daytime in my backyard at 11pm! Also, make sure to set the white balance in your camera.Elisa Squatterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15755855658638442605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347662658917669211.post-57567897379936736502011-10-16T03:34:22.150-05:002011-10-16T03:34:22.150-05:00Thank you!

That makes a lot of sense and I had worked it out on joining triangles to some degree but had not (for some inexplicable reason) worked out that if I did all my piecing that way the blocks would be right size. How does this work with a quarter inch foot? Do you just need to make the material does not sneak under the foot and out the other side? I am going to try and make this block today, as long as my other WIP projects don't shout too loud!Snooziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11733411604530441867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347662658917669211.post-89013276852886733782011-06-25T15:37:45.366-05:002011-06-25T15:37:45.366-05:00Well, I got mine done... it's about 1/8 shy of...Well, I got mine done... it's about 1/8 shy of 12.5, but fairly consistant, so I'm just not going to stress.

Used a cheap ruler to find my 1/4 inch mark and was loosing ground rapidly by the 5th strip. So, I remeasured (Ooops!) and corrected the mistake. I feel like I won a major award! I am so excited to start the next block. :)Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00141554132273386112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347662658917669211.post-55898915889345750812011-06-24T20:26:30.317-05:002011-06-24T20:26:30.317-05:00What cleaner do you use to clean your iron?What cleaner do you use to clean your iron?Shawn Stephenson Schumacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286568758629326440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347662658917669211.post-2249174286688556022011-06-24T13:57:48.262-05:002011-06-24T13:57:48.262-05:00Just finished Block 1.

Some of my irons as they got older wouldn't get completely clean or would still have some dirty cleaner stuck in the steam holes that would rub off. Clean it again and replace the water (just in case?).

I have just finished piecing the top of my first ever quilt from Jeni's Warm/Cool HST QAL and I didn't really know what I was doing - so I basically winged it. Result: http://www.flickr.com/photos/63779039@N02/5859444247/in/photostream <br />It's not too bad, but I could do with some practice. So, I'm going to joining in on your great QAL and learn to quilt properly :)Lara @ Luellabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00298698470777473254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347662658917669211.post-14053877025214983682011-06-22T18:50:07.985-05:002011-06-22T18:50:07.985-05:00Okay so I should have measured at each step like y...Okay so I should have measured at each step like you suggested so I know where I made my mistake. My block came out a little short. So what did I learn? Next time I am going to follow all of the directions and take the time to read. This is probably why I never dod well on tests. So I added some fabric to the end and will cut down the block when I need to. No big deal since it is just for me right? Thanks for the tutorial and I promise next week I will follow all of the suggestions.<br /><br />Blogged at: http://creativeinspiraciones.blogspot.com/2011/06/sewn-we-can-do-it-sampler-block-1-log.htmlShawn Stephenson Schumacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286568758629326440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347662658917669211.post-81330781746516817852011-06-22T03:21:36.259-05:002011-06-22T03:21:36.259-05:00I'm so proud of myself!! i did it! and it fini...I'm so proud of myself!! i did it! and it finished with a precision 12,5 in!!! and the back of the work is so clean and straight! i had never had this kind of accuracy before! thank you so much!<br />jeanine, in BrazilDe Minas, Uaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01782322089420640400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347662658917669211.post-5228468150251556422011-06-21T18:41:45.827-05:002011-06-21T18:41:45.827-05:00I would start by buying 2 quarter yards each of li...I would start by buying 2 quarter yards each of light, medium and dark fabric and a half yard of a fabric you would like to use as a background. That is 2 yards total and should get you through a few months of blocks. If you want your background to be the same throughout the quilt be sure you pick a background fabric that you will be able to buy more of - you might even want to jot down the name of the fabric.<br /><br />If you live near a Hancock Fabrics, they have some great sales going on right now.
