I didn't find the ironing difficult at all and the blocks go lightening fast. One question I have, though, is weight. If I were to make a queen size quilt, would the extra fabric in the seams make a heavier quilt? Would I then use a very light batting? I am running my blocks to my local quilt shop to show them off.

This is great.

Love the floppy ears on the last one. I am bookmarking this one for sure.

Having the 5" square off center would be cute too. Kind of a more wonky, whimsical look.

Thank you for the video!! I love this. I have lots of 5" squares and didn't know what to do with them.

Fold and sew
This is brilliant! I read your post yesterday and had to try it out. I am just about finished a sixteen block baby quilt top that I started yesterday afternoon at about 4:30. (just have to sew the rows together). I used this method for the block and then sashed them and used cornerstones. Turned out very well. I'll be doing this again for sure! Thanks for the link.

I really like this idea, but I'm another one who would be cutting extra fabric layers away. lol

That's pretty ingenious!! I think I would spend extra time cutting those extra layers away though, so I could use that unseen fabric. lol
