I couldn't get the video link to play the section on the X-block, but couldn't you do the same thing with a regular ruler but just paying attention to the measurements? Like an earlier poster, I don't want to purchase a lot of rulers that can only be used with one type of pattern.

probably so, but I don't mind paying 10 bucks or so for a ruler that makes cutting a no brainer, and it looks like you can change up the design quite a bit.

ps- it took me two tries to get the video to play, and you have to click on the picture to start it.

I own the book and the ruler...they are quick easy quilts...very easy to use and I think worth the money...I don't own alot of rulers....I don't buy all of the new ones that come out...but I did buy this one.

Same here!!!

Just look on the front page at the bottom, if it says REV1 - September 2009 Reprint" it has been revised (first revision) as of September 2009. The errata has been corrected in the reprinted editions. I checked, thanks to your comment!!

I admit I'm biased but I LOVE the X-blocks. I never get tired of making them. I suggest picking up whatever size tool you want, following the directions she gives in the packaging, and create your own designs. But watch out - you make one and you're hooked. Patricia Pepe -- the designer --is a genius! Disclaimer: she's also my friend :)

I enjoyed her demo. She seems like a real nice and clever lady. I went ahead and made a purchase.

I was just watching the videos....I am going to get one...one of her patterns is just for scrap materials and its beautiful and so easy!!!

Did you make a quilt from the x block? Picture?

I've made one of her quilts. If I can figure out how to post a picture I'll try to put it up. The pattern was very easy and there is no waste. The parts that are cut off the squares are used for the borders.
