Man Sewing
 

Have you seen the new videos by Rob Appell? He is hooked in with Missouri Star and has his own Youtube channel.

Here's the link to the new "Burst Block". I think this is neat!

Yes, I watch the Man Sewing videos. I liked the "Burst Block" he demonstrated today.

Just watched the latest video a bit ago and liked the burst block! May try that one at some point, but I think I'd like to add a small sashing of the background around the blocks. Seems like those pieces would be hard to hit exactly to meet from one block to another and the small sashing would hide any slight variations. I think it would still have nearly the same effect.

He's fun to watch even though I might not make what he's demonstrating. For instance, I don't have any plans for the teepee he made last week but enjoyed his enthusiasm in putting it together.

It is great to see a young man to be so enthusiastic about quilting.

I like watching Rob...he is very easy to understand and makes it fun without being obnoxious! I can't see myself making a skateboard quilt anytime soon but I do enjoy the shows.

Yeah, I thought the teepee thing was a bit.......... odd, but the vids are good to watch. I especially like the burst block and can see me making it some day.

That "Burst Block" is on my bucket list very near to the top.

The "Burst Block" looks like fun. It sure makes a pretty quilt.

Thanks for sharing - I thought I had joined this, will have to go through spam and see if that is where it ended up!

He makes it look so easy........

THIS NEEDS TO BE A PAPER PIECED PROJECT! OMG! Why would he do all this work and try and keep the measurements exact, when if paper pieced...you are right on the line. You can see how some of the block are off, pieces not meeting from block to block on his project. Beautiful pattern in this quilt. I would do it, but only after I ran piecing paper through my printer. So much faster and lot more accurate.

The block is fun. The young man is obviously enjoying himself while teaching us a new trick. He lost me a couple of times with the math, but if I slow down it really isn't so confusing. Think I'll definitely try the Burst Block, the possibilities using different colors intrigues me. This would be a great project for the new member who inquired about layer cakes as it shows what amazing things you can do with some ten inch squares. Thanks for sharing the link.

You definitely make a valid point, the math could make a total disaster if you didn't get it right. Thanks!

I agree with making it via paper piecing would be so much easier. But then having a couple ways to get the same/similar results is always a good thing.
