5 Minute quilt block
 

I watched the whole video...the quilts using this simple block is amazing. Has anyone else made these? This is not the 10 min block, which was also pretty cool. I do like this look better though.

wow, I love them in boarders!

I love the scalloped circle place mat. That one design sold me on the book.

Is the book out yet? I've looked for it, but, haven't found it.

For some reason it's on a long order from Amazon. I ordered one and it will be a one to two month shipping time. I could order it at other websites but pay over twice as much plus shipping. I don't mind waiting for the book.

Thanks for the You-Tube! This looks most interesting. I think this will go on "MY LIST"! I should live soooooo long as to get to everything on my list!

I know a Block thats Quicker than THAT! Its Called a SQAURE!!! LOL :p:D

This is Great Love IT!!

Yes I've done her blocks. Have trouble doing flying geese the regular way...love the curve.

That Christmas tree wallhanging is very cool with those pockets!

What a cool block!! Will have to try this, oh my just what I need another quilt to add to my to do list. lol Thanks for sharing.

Nothing to do with quilting but I love your icon pic. I have three yorkies myself. love then little dogs. Just had to comment

I can do this one!

Cool- I just don't know about all the wasted fabric in the folded piece???

Now, this one has got my attention, big time. Thanks so much Carol for sharing it. I think even I can do this one.

Thanks you for sharing. This method can turn simple work into great quilts!!!

I want to do this NOW! Has anyone tried it. What sizes are the pieces of fabric? Does it matter as long as they are all the same size? I need to make a Halloween gift. I think I see a Halloween table runner done with a few 5 minute blocks!

It doesn't matter what size rectangle as long as they are All the same!

Really All shes done Is to Take Her Cheater Cathedral Blocks and Make them into Rectangles!:D

Thanks! :)

I was thinking the same thing about the wasted fabric used to make the "pocket".

It seems like an easy block...I just don't want to waste fabric (unless I am missing something with the extra fabric).

Have a great weekend everyone :)

I just posted a baby quilt under Pictures using the 5 minute block. It came out wicked cool.http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...l-t203348.html

I also would rather not waste the material, but if I have to in order to get this great block, I guess I'll have to.
Does anyone have a secret so material is not wasted?

I am not sure you are actually wasting fabric. I say that because if you used a regular triangle for piecing the block, you would have to cut off the corner of the rectangle so the reality is that you are just swapping one for the other (if that makes sense).

I finally got the book. At first the block was confusing as the bottom of the triangle seemed to be 1/2" longer then the bottom of the block. With careful folding and pressing it worked out fine. I used layer cakes cut in half to make the blocks so it took less time then 5 min. to make.

This looks so easy! I was really amazed at the different looks depending upon how the block was turned. Definitely a pattern to keep, especially if you need to make a quilt in a hurry for a gift. Thanks, for posting!

My book came today from Amazon. Quick service

I just watched the video and love this block. Thank you for sharing.

I never thought to worry about the waste of fabric for this block. The ease of it is worth more to me then saving a little fabric. I used layer cake pre cut fabric and had enough blocks sewn for a quilt top in less then 20 min. No cutting or measuring just straight chain piecing. Great for a fast quilt that looks time consuming. I look at my stack of layer cake bundles and see quilts!

I love Suzanne McNeil's books! I'm waiting for the 5-minute block book to come to my LQS...Thanks for sharing the info!

So, the measurements for this block is basically a 10" square cut in half? I tried this last night and came up short on one end of the triangle. How do you fix?? HELP!! :o Thanks!!

The rectangle size is important to get the two to match up. I found that out when I cut a 10" square in half and sewed the block. The goose block was too long when pressed opened. The book has a size to cut the fabric for a small or large block so they sew up perfectly. This is left out of the youtube video.

Which book do you have? I want to get one, but don't know which one to get first. There is also the 5 minute block, right? how about that one?

There are three books, two for the 10 minute blocks and one for the 5 minute block. I bought all three at one time so I can't offer which one is the best to get first. These type of books go out of print fast.

Too funny...this is a cool block as well!
