10 minute quilt block
 
There is a tutorial on Youtube.com for a 10 minute quilt block. I made a few blocks. The 10 in. is way toobig for me because it ends up being 20" so I made my blocks 8 in. ad love them. You can do a cathedral window on the center, a focus fabric, applique , a red work image whatever you like.
Check it out it is really a good ideal ! :rolleyes::o

What is the name of the tutorial or is there some other way to identify it?
Thanks.

just go to youtube & type in 10-minute quilt block in the search engine. It'll come up. I think the video is only about 10 minutes long.

I looked at that one and it was so easy to do after seeing it in progress. I love it.

I'm in the middle of making one right now!

I agree, too big for my taste. This one is on my design board, not sewn together yet. I cut my squares 5 inch and the middle one 8 inch. I love it!

It's interesting to see the various ways this block can be used - with large centers, with small centers, with a great variety of color placements. Thanks for this new posting about it.

Some great info here. I've seen the youtube video and love the block. I want to try one someday. Looks pretty easy.

Thanks for the info.

When I looked up the 10 minute one, I found a 5-minute version.

Your quilt is beautiful. Thanks for sharing this quick idea. How clever. I just wonder how they come up these ideas! It will be on my have-to-make-list.

I think it takes the average person a little more than 10 minutes if their fabric is already cut, but definitely worth it.
I got the pattern free, but loved it so much I bought book #2.
I can't imagine a 5 minute. I can really make a mess in 5 minutes, lol :D

I've made this block a few times and the center always comes out "puffy". Is it supposed to be like that? Is it possible to make this block so the center comes out flat? Thanks.

I used four 9" blocks & a 7" block for the center one as I was working with fat quarters & that was the most economical sizes to use!

10 minute blocks are so much fun and they really are 10 minutes per block. To answer someone's question on puffiness, just be sure that when you sew the final seam, that the fabric is as flat as you can get it (its a little awkward). And if it is puffy, don't worry, you can quilt it out.

I attached a picture of a baby quilt I made using the block. I folded UNDER (not over) the center block sides and hand stitched them down just to neaten the look.

Pretty quilts. I have tried the 10 min. block but didnt have much luck with it. Maybe I should try again.

rilene 03-26-2012 07:53 AM

What pretty quilts for a minimum of time invested! Can't wait to try this technique!

Nanaquilts44 03-26-2012 09:09 AM

Beautiful quilt, Sewimatesister!

Momma_K 03-26-2012 09:32 AM

I tried the 10 minute blocks without the book. When I made like 14 blocks I knew I had to have the book. When it came I got carried away and made like 30 of the things!! I made them with black and white blocks with floral inside block. It rarely took over 8-9 minutes to complete one block once you get the hang of it. Good luck to all that gives it a try, I think you'll be happy with them.

Been wondering if the 5 inch blocks would work. Very pretty. I have made the ten inch block and sashed it in 1 inch strips and I like it a lot.

This 10 minute block was demonstrated at the Lake Huron Thumb Area Quilter's Retreat last fall. I too think that its a very easy pattern to accomplish in a very short time. I've made 2 of them so far. I'm waiting impatiently for this year's retreat!!!!!!!

JeanieG 03-26-2012 07:45 PM

The first book is called 10-Minute Blocks, by Suzanne McNeill. I have the book, but have yet to try to make one.

Teddybear Lady 03-26-2012 08:06 PM

Chairjogger, I love your take on the 10 minute block. So cute and interesting. I'm always inspired by the creativity shown on this site.

SewExtremeSeams 03-26-2012 08:21 PM

Wow! All three 10 minute block quilts are beautiful and so different, even though they are all the same method. Thank you for sharing your photos. Wow!

Barb_MO 04-05-2012 04:05 PM

That is really pretty. I am working on oe that has 5" squares and 7" for the center. I am also putting an accent square in the center before I turn down the bias edge.

jamem 05-05-2013 10:14 AM

There are several of those 10 minute and 5 minute block videos on utube that require only one or two seams. You can also buy the books new on Ebay very cheap if you wait for a good deal.(less than $10.00)
