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 haven't yet but I do want to try the scalloped border effect soon.
|
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
|

|

|

|

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 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 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.
