A few have asked for arrangement of strip blocks and 10 min. quilt. I have examples of assembly.
Wow.. I am amazed that anyone could figure this out as a new pattern!! The results are fun !
hope all is explained well!

just a chance, but look at the center of the accent ! looks like I planned the center! now we know where the center is from start to finish too ! whoo hoo !

watch this utube for three seam sewing.

Lovely blocks!! I keep thinking about all the ways those 10 minute blocks could be altered and I really like this one.

That looks so sweet. I do have the 10 minute block book.
I like the strips and the fussy cut flower.
Thanks for sharing.

yes thank you so much, I too, have the book, but this is a lovely addition!!

I love this! Thanks a bunch :D:D

WOW! This is very cool! Thanks so much!

Thanks for the link. I watched it and loved it. I will get the bookfor all the other ideas.

I love the "window" in it! Nice job! Thanks for showing.

:thumbup: :thumbup:

looks super!

So inventive! It's gonna look great when you finish!!

I never thought about using striped blocks, I really like what you did, it looks so sweet. Thanks for sharing this idea.

Oh I like what you did with it. I just finished making one and I am impressed with how you planned it out. You definitely HAVE to plan when you do this one. I finally bought the instruction booklet. It has a lot of ideas and the instructions. I think yours are even more specific for the strips. Good job. I can't wait to see it finished. I like those colors too.

Thanks

That is a great idea... never thought of that. I'm making a king size quilt now using the 10 minute block system with 10" blocks. I didn't buy the book... just watched the video and it's really easy to figure out.... Just take your time and the results are fabulous. It goes together really fast. I got 26 blocks made in about 15 hours...(That included all the ironing, sewing, pressing seams open, and also ironing 5 yards of backing fabric.)

Thanks so much for the link. Love it.

How do you save a Utube site? Every time I try it hangs up my PC.

I just tried saving "YouTube" What I did was do google search for "youtube quilting tutorials" and went onto Missouri Star Quilt video and when I go directed to that site I did a "Favorite" and saved it as a favorite under my Quilting favorites. I don't know if that helps you or not??

I found if you save during the video, the favorite is accepted. not before or after the video type.

try this. hope it all works out .

I made some baby security blankets using this pattern and they are fabulous and so easy. A quilting genius thought this one up.

Fantastic!! Thanks for posting !

So pretty....thank you! :-D

I can't believe I never heard of this. It is amazing what you can do with those, perfect when you need a quick quilt.
I love yours, especially the cathedral window one with the little smiling flower. It hurts my head trying to picture the steps necessary to make it happen:)

Love it Carmen

Thank you for this tute :D:D:D

I really like this idea. Thanks.

Oh my gosh that is adorable!

Thanks for taking the time to figure out how to create those blocks with strips and then sharing with us, most appreciated.

What a neat trick with this block. Will have to try it. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you!! These are so pretty and I can't wait to try!!

Love this! Thank you. I have two little ones less than 1 year apart and this may be the only way for me to make blocks for a few years!

I started quilting when mine were little.. Did a lot of Log Cabin and folded stars.

This one is a snap ! Looks like a lot of work. A good one for you !

This is the tute I was talking about. This block is so easy to make and really dresses up a block. It is expecially good for baby quilts. I embroided a baby girl's initial in the center of the ten minute block, then stitched it down to use as the focal point of the quilt. Such a fun way to embellish.

thanks for the tutorial

i love it do you know where i can buy her book

my daughter got me both of them for Christmas from amazon.com

thank you Wildyard i,ll go see and buy them

I like the way you used the pattern in your own way. It is really cute.

Very pretty and fascinating! Thanks for sharing... I am going to save this post.

i COULDN'T FIND IF YOU STATED WHAT SIZE YOU CUT THE STRIPS AND THE SIZE OF THE MIDDLE BOX. THANKS.
i LOVED THIS PATTERN AND WILL MADE A BABY QUILT IN NEAR FUTURE WITH IS PATTERN

2 1/2 inch strips, to make 6 1/2 in block. think that is what I did with a 1/4 inch seam allowance.

my favorite block is a 6 1/2.. have a template for that.
