Thread: exploding block video

nice! interesting when we want to do scrappy and want to sew without to much thinking... I bet it is relaxing. Thank you so much for sharing

This is great. I saw the tutorial last week and since I need many potholders for a Church Bazaar I thought I'd give this pattern a try. Depending on the size of my center block, I added one or two more squares. Then strips of fabric all around. I felt the strips stabilized the bias edges and when finished the potholder actually looks like I had used bias
I wish I could download pictures. Maybe my grandson will do it for me on Easter

Doris in the U.K. , today I made a 9 block little quilt for a newborn. It did not take long as the top was done in
2.5 hours. I did use spray sizing before opening/pressing the triangles, kept them under control but did square them up. I like how it softens the squares aka points cut off.
Love your scrappy ones and will keep them in mind for my give a way, a good stash buster.

I have made a couple of quilts using this method, before I saw Jennies video.However, I started with the 4", then the 5" was on top of that, next was 7 or 71/2 can't remember, then a 9" block. When done this way the finished blocks
really go together beautifully and makes a lovely quit. If you use more additions than Jennie did, would not recommend starting wit a center or first block larger than 4". I first used a 6" block using my method and when it finished out the completed block was an 18" square. This is a quick and easy quilt to do.

I think that when you are done it looks like the corners are supposed to be gone--as if you have rounded them off. It does look "neat".
