The fabrics have been starched and cut...now let’s get stitching….(I will do a post on how I cut a quilt too!)
This quilt has 3 different blocks in it…Square in a Square White, Square in a Square Red and Quarter Square Triangles (QST)
Square in a Square block White–Sort all the cut pieces into blocks…
This block starts with a white square and the smallest red triangles….
Fold the white square in half and pinch both ways…this is where the red triangle points to..the center…Start running them through the machine…
Both sides on…Press, always with steam…notice how I stack when I press.
I do not trim…waste of time… Now add the next two red triangles.
Second pass…now press
Time to trim...TOOLS NEEDED…6″ ITTY BITTY SQUARE RULER…ROTARY CUTTER (red just because I can) ROTATING MAT with finger grooves for easy spinning, because we are trimming all four sides… You can start two ways…trim 1/4″ away form the point of the white square…or find the center of the square and divide the size you need to trim to and cut that in half. Place this measurement on the diagonal of the square and then trim. Lefties would always be cutting on the left side.
Trim each of the right sides of as many blocks as you can fit on the mat with room to work.
Spin the mat 180 degrees and then cut the size you need on the left trimmed side and then trim the right side again. 
Turn again and find the center or 1/4″ away from the point, cut...
Turn again and trim the last side…did you notice I did not move my trimmings each time I cut? This takes up time…so I wait til the end to clear it all. I use my rotary cutter to move them out of the way if I need to. I do not set down my rotary cutter to move them.
Sort each of the next triangles on each block…
Now back to the machine to stitch the next white triangles…
Press– wait til you have two sides on…
Stitch and press the other sides.
Time to trim again…line the ruler up on the center of the red square and trim.
Again on as many as you can fit on your mat…turn the mat and line up on the left to size to trim the blocks to and cut again…
line up the center again…and cut…turn and trim the last side…
Add the next red round…
trim again…
Repeat again for the last white round…I just happen to have the perfect ruler to square up with…
Repeat for the Square in a Square Red blocks..Didn’t think you wanted to watch me do all the red ones again..lol…
and the QST blocks...Trim all the blocks to the same finished size.
I usually piece my units to the exact size with this one exception…multiple square in a square is just easy to trim.
Layout your blocks…
Take a picture of your quilt to see if anything looks funny or if you have too much dark in one spot or anything silly like that…
Start piecing rows together…I put a pin in the first block so I do not mix anything up, if I think I mixed something up I can always check the photo…I really love these new gripper pins…they are fantastic! They are fine and it is nice to have that rubber grip for putting them in and pulling them out…I didn’t think I would like them but LOVE them…you also can iron them…they won’t melt…..they are MAGIC PINS100 & MAGIC PINS 50
You also can check your fabrics when you layout your rows…
Press rows in opposing directions.
Press long row seams open when stitching rows together. Large Strip Stick
All pieced together…off to the quilter…do you do this when you have a quilt with not border? Stay-stitch the edges 1/8″ all the way around? Do this so the piecing is not pulled apart.
Back from quilting…I am so pleased with how this one turned out but I will discuss this in another post about the quilting.
I named this quilt… I THINK I’M IN LOVE…
She lies flat and straight….I washed it after I stitched the binding on…I want the quilting to sink in.
Now…I wish to go back to the beginning…back to the inspiration…an antique in my collection.
What can I say…it’s a fabulous quilt…so we had to re-create it. Here is the backing we used…I also set this quilt 9×11 blocks( 63″x 77″) instead of 10×10 (70×70) like the antique, so you have a choice.
If you wish to order a kit for this quilt they are on sale 10% off on a PRE- ORDER. Delivery in August, when the fabric comes in. If you purchase backing at the same time is is 20% off of that. Thanks for hanging out with me and I hope you enjoyed watching me stitch, I Think I’m In Love...prefect name right? Eddie Money song…RIP Mr. Money…We will miss you!

Beautiful quilt. Thank you for the detailed step-by-step.
Yes, because you use photos and explain the steps, its very helpful. So is the tip, sew /8 th around edge so stitches arent pulled apart! Thank you Lisa!
I like this pattern and the antique that inspired it! Beautiful fabrics!
Wow…beautiful quilt! Love red and white quilts! Makes me think of the fabulous quilt show in NYC several years back!
Love the quilt! Making a red and white quilt is on my bucket list!
I like your assembly line methods. I get too anxious to do all of one step before moving on…which is why you get so much more done than me!
I think I’m in love is the perfect name. It’s beautiful. Love your short cuts of not trimming & then trimming & waiting to clean up when mat is full. Saves time so get more done.
Gorgeous!!! I like the use of the spinning cutting mat.
Just lovely! Your reds are stunning and perfect for a red and whitr quilt!
Perfect name. Love the lesson.
Loved reading this post! Very informative! Love the red and cream fabric line.
I love the pictures being a visual learner. Thank you! Love the red. L❤️VE!
Your sewing process leaves me standing in the dust!!wow and thank you. I will be printing out the article so I can really understand. As usual your quilt patterns and fabrics are incredible.
Fabulous quilt! Thank you for showing us your methods for piecing this.
Beautiful quilt!! I recently got a rotating mat, will have to try out your tips & tricks.
Beautiful quilt! Love the red and white!
Gorgeous quilt! Love 2 color quilts & I have red in every room of my house. Guess this quilt goes on my bucket list!
Wonderful quilt. Thank you for the detailed post illustrating your quilting method. I picked up quite a few tips.
I love watching the step by step…you help give a concept of how to organize and approach the project. Love, love love your artwork…..
I do some things like u, but not all. So… I will be trying your way. Love the new line and pattern!!!
Oh my gosh I love this quilt! I really enjoyed seeing how you lay everything out in such an organized way. I never thought about stitching an 1/8 of an inch around the quilt when there is no border to hold all the seams. I will definitely start doing that, because I don’t always get them quilted right away. Thank you for showing your steps for creating this beautiful quilt.
Stunning quilt and thank you for the cutting and sewing tips. I just am in love with this quilt!
Wow, there’s a lot to like in this post! Interesting how you press some of those smaller pieces all at once…great idea. Also, a good reminder to stitch all around the edges when the top is complete. Beautiful quilt!
I learned/ liked two things. When squaring up, measuring 1/4 inch from the tip will make sure you have all your points….which I have a difficult time with. #2. When finished , stitch around 1/8 inch in ,reinforces all the seams at the edge. Oh..#3. Take a picture …I knew this, but definitely needs reinforcement l
Love the red square in a square quilt and your new fabric is stunning. I can’t wait to see the fabric in person. I need a red and white quilt, since I don’t have one in my collection
I can see why you accomplish so much and I am like an unorganized disaster. I could learn from each step.
Thanks for all the tips. No I don’t quilt that way but I liked several of your techniques that I’ll have to try. Thanks again. It’s fun learning something new.
Red is my favorite color and this quilt is calling my name. Would love to win a pattern or the kit. I think this is the prettiest quilt I’ve seen in quite a while.
I don’t usually enjoy piecing square-in-a-square blocks, but your quilt is so beautiful, I might have to make an exception. Gorgeous!
That is my favorite quilt so far! And I enjoyed watching your steps….very similar to mine. Would love this pattern.
Thank you for the instructions on your piecing. I always learn something for my quilting!
Never watch one of your videos or blog entries that includes info on piecing or a technique that I don’t learn something new and valuable or time saving or getting a better look. Thanks SO much Lisa!
Ohhh, how will I decide? Another beautiful red and white quilt with your new line if fabric. You’re not making this easy for us!
Love your streamlined stitching and cutting method. Will surely save time! I would love to win this kit or fabric. It’s beautiful!
If I can only get one collection this year, let it be Redwork Gatherings. Absolutely stunning!!!
I am in love with your whole new red line! I think I had better start saving up so I can get one of everything.
This is exquisite, love it. I would love to make. Thank you for sharing!
Yes, I learned a lot from both the pictures and your detailed steps. I have been sewing/quilting for only the past 8 months and I thoroughly enjoy all tips and time saving steps to cut fabric and create a beautiful quilt… I love the name! And I hope to win some patterns and fabric.. thank yku
Really cute. I did learn something-I did not know to press the square to line up the triangles.
No I don’t piece like you, but I will now!!!!!! I did learn something new – no more eyeballing the center for the triangles. All I need to do is pinch. Thank you.
Thanks Lisa. I always learn something from your tutorials. I like your efficiency! May have to try those pins.
Another beautiful quilt! I always oversize the triangles for square-in-a-square blocks…if I don’t, they come out wonky. Love being able to trim them to the perfect size!
Yes, I piece my quilts ”assembly line” like you do–saves a LOT of time. I save a lot and trim all at once, also. Wish I had a big space like you do though….I need to get a kid to move out first to take over her room! I would LOVE to win “I Think I’m in Love”!
I used the starching tip from the lecture you gave at our quilt guild. The quilt went together much nicer. I will be using these too. Thanks for sharing!
I do so love red and white quilts. I really enjoy making blocks this way and then trimming them down to size. I too often find myself using rotary cutter to slide trimmings out of way. Since learning a few years back starching has made such a big difference. I look forward to getting this line of fabric and maybe that In love pattern. Love it!
Lisa I loved how you explained things. Very clear. I have been sewing for many years and had never thought to mark middle of block for location of point when doing square in a square.
Beautiful quilt. !!!!
It’s beautiful! Red is my favorite color! Thanks for showing us your work process! You’re so organized!
It’s so beautiful! I can hardly wait for the fabric to come out. If I do not win the pattern, I would love to buy this. I want to make it. Your helps are wonderful! I have one itty bitty square pattern and the rectangle. I will save this post!! I didn’t know there was a 7” ruler. I’m also interested in the 5×15 ruler. Your designs are great!
This collection of fabrics makes me smile. I appreciate the directions for the blocks, especially trimming them in groups. I can see how your techniques save time. Thanks!
I love a square in a square block, and you make it look so easy to be perfect. A two block quilt is always stunning! “I think I’m in Love,”
This is a beautiful quilt! Thank you for sharing your tips and pics, very helpful! I love how you recreate antique quilts.
I really like the idea of putting has many blocks on the round turn table. No more one at a time for me.
Thanks your an awesome teacher.
Thank you for showing how you do it step by step. My economy blocks are never quite right. I like the quilt with the new fabric with the prints. It just seems more interesting.
Thanks for sharing your tips and techniques. That rotating cutting mat scares me. I don’t know if I would trust myself not to get cut. I haven’t tried starching fabrics. I am used to prewashing. I may have to give it a try. Thanks again.
Thanks so much for the post. Such inspiration. Love your new line.
What a stunning quilt! Your Redwork Gatherings fabric is perfect for this pattern. I learned you do not waste time clipping tails when it doesn’t matter. Square in a squalid the one time you trim instead of having your pieces cut exactly. It seems this method would improve accuracy. I love this quilt!
This was the BEST totorial on your organized way to piece square in a square!
Love the quilt and colors
So beautiful!! Love your method for the square in a square blocks!! Another red and white quilt that I need to make!!!
I piece the same way but I absolutely love the tips! I love to hear how different people do things and I always learn something new. Thanks!
This is such an awesome post showing your very efficient methods! I have made several red and white quilts and see many more in my future. Thank you for sharing with us!
Love it! Thanks for the tips
I have the round cutting mat. Will have to start using it more often. I love this new quilt.
Your pictures and descriptions were perfect. I love square in a square blocks but have never enjoyed making them. You just changed my mind. Thank you Lisa!
That is a beautiful quilt, thanks for taking the time to explain each and every step including pressing. I would love to win a pattern! Enjoy all your blog posts also. Thanks.
I LOVE I think I’m in Love quilt!!!! I am getting so drawn into red/white quilts with seeing your redwork gatherings prints. And yes I WOULD DO this one! The main thing that I do not do on a regular basis is starch. I’ve done it one pattern, but was larger blocks. Worked out fine. I can see how this smaller piecing would be that much better with pre-starching. I MUST learn to starch! And I did love all the little tricks you do for timesavers – not clearing away scraps trimmed off until all trimming on that size block is done. I think my rotating mat does not have the finger holds. can easily see how that helps. I DO watch your tutorials and videos, work for you but so greatly appreciated! Thankx.
Your tips were really great! I may have picked up a couple to use myself! Love this quilt! Red and white quilts are my most favorite!😍
Thanks for the helpful hints! I’m kind of new to the idea of “assembly line” piecing/trimming–makes much sense. Your quilts are beautiful and inspiring.
Beautiful quilt. Thanks for sharing the steps. I will need to pick up a rotating mat the next time I come to the Wisconsin shop. Would love a chance to win. Thanks!😊
I love your organization! You have so many great tips even for an experienced quilter. Thank you for taking the time to photograph all of the steps.
Love your rework gatherings. This is a beautiful quilt!
This is a beautiful quilt!! Love to watch how assemble the quilt. Always learn something when I watch another quilter!!
I love how you work (and your patterns and fabric). This is my favourite from quilt this collection and I ordered it already. Can’t wait for it to arrive later this summer.
Thank you the tutorial was very helpful and I love this quilt as well…..argh I want to order them all.
I love watching your process and I am so excited for this new line. I am working on a pineapple quilt with Indigo Gatherings right now (with scarlet Essex linen centers), but now I may have to do another traditional with Redwork when I get my preorder!
I love love the red and white- the piecing technique is so great I can’t wait to try it out! To think that something I am sewing now may inspire a future quilter- like your antiques inspire you, Lisa! That is very humbling to pass on my legacy in some way! Thank you!
Another beauty 💕
It looks fabulous and I would love to make this quilt.
I love the red and white! I made Square Deal last summer. Got A LOT of practice making square in a square blocks🤣
OMG, I think I am in love with this quilt…I started making red and white quilts when I turned 60…I make one special one every year for my birthday…this would be a really nice addition to my collection of red and white quilts…I am working on Making of a Masterpiece to be finished for my 70th birthday…I have five years to finish it…what a nice tutorial…
Hi Lisa, yes I learned how to save time reading your instructions. Wait until you have both sides on before pressing and remove tails st the end. The quilt is beautiful!! Thanks.
Thank you for demonstrating your piecing technique, it was very helpful and now I finally understand how to square up. The quilt is beautiful, looks complicated but it’s not. Love the look of this quilt and can’t wait to make it. Thanks again! And by the way, want to make all of them!
I learned that I’m not the only obsessed one who sews oversize then trims blocks down! Ha ha! Seriously great explanation & pics. A red & white quilt has been on my bucket list – loving these vintage reds in your new line.
Love your quilt AND your methods! That rotary mat is so cool – May have to check it out. Can’t wait for Redwork to arrive in August! 🧵❤️✂️
I think I’m in love too! With your fabrics, patterns, sewing tips and videos!! Thanks so much Lisa for all that you share with us!!
I do love this quilt! I would like to know how you starch your fabric, do you spray and let dry before you iron? Thanks for the opportunity to win, I love red and white quilts.
Amazing as always but your instruction is really helpful. I have my eye on a red and white quilt. What a beautiful way to pay homage to an antique quilt. Thanks,
Thanks for reminding me to use my strip stick! I had completely forgot that I have it! Beautiful quilt, can’t wait to see the new fabric line in person!
Love this quilt! I plan to try your tip of starching the fabric when making my next quilt.
I piece assembly line as much as possible, but love the way you trim! Never thought of putting multiple blocks on the rotating mat, may have to get a larger one.
WOW…I am in love 😍 Perfect fabric with perfect pattern.
I really like your rotating mat. I’ve never seen one with finger grooves before! I also like your process of assembling/trimming the square within a square blocks. Thanks for sharing the antique inspiration to I Think I’m in Love … I think I’m in love with this quilt even more than I was with Long, Long Way From Home!
Your red and white quilts are beautiful. I have watched your tutorials and have taken a wool workshop with you and I always find you explain everything so clearly. I have never made a red and white quilt, but I really want to make one now.
I do piece like you with the exception of laying my blocks out before I start to piece. I love the long strip to press open seams. May need to try those pins! I label with number pins the first block in each row
I just love this red work quilt. The pattern really makes the fabric pop and I love your quilting! What a treat to win a pattern.
I don’t just think I’m in love…I know I’m in love with this beauty! Loved the pictures…some thing I do, some new ideas to try! THANKS!
Basically I do it the way you showed. I use a different ruler to trim, but otherwise I “batch” piece. I usually make one block first to test seams, sizes, etc. before I fully cut, stack and sew. Another winner.
I learned that when you said you starched, you really starched. I will have to up my starching game.
I basically do it your way. I do use a different ruler for trimming. After I make a test block I sew in batches. Another winner
Absolutely, beautiful, Lisa! Thanks so much. Red and White quilts are my favourite!!
I do it basically like you do after I make a test block. Then I sew in batches. Another winner and I love the name.
It as very interesting how you trim your blocks
Love you directions great detail, and your fabric line is beautiful, thanks for sharing
Let’s just say I “try” to piece like you do. I’d be a much better piecer with some of the added notions and quilting accessories. My quilting efforts need to be more ergonomically inclined.I know you’ve talked about starching before, but I fear those beautiful reds bleeding. Beautiful quilt!
No reds bleeding here…my moda reds do not bleed!
They don’t bleed, I’m working on the All American and neither the reds nor the blued bled when I starched them (using this method for the first time and I love it)! They are wonderful fabrics!
I do piece like you do, and press..with steam. 🙂 I also edge stitch my tops before quilting. If I am sending blocks for a swap, I edge stitch each one because I know they will get extra handling. Love your fabrics!! Still think I should throw out my stash and just start over. 🙂
This quilt is great,but then how can you make a mistake with red and white. Chain piecing is quick and easy. Love the rotating mat with the scalloped edge. I just have to get one of those!
Wow Lisa – this post was awesome. You are so efficient. I learned a lot. I am now working on the log cabin quilt Star & Stripe Gatherings kit. I did 6 blocks at a time – one row – every day and will finish in 6 days, by Friday. I could have done all 36 at a time but I do like to see a finished block. I wish you did tutorials. Thank you so much for your post and the Redwork Gatherings line.
The pictures were very helpful-much better than words.
I love “I Think I’m in Love”. You make it look so easy. Do you starch heavy? I’ve been wanting a red and white quilt for a long time. Thank you for the lesson.
How efficient to not toss the trimmings each time! And I appreciate that you press long row seams open – I think it’s not only easier but lays flatter. Love the red and white.
I loved the pictures – very easy to follow. And I adore the quilt! Can’t go wrong with red!
Thanks for a fabulous tutorial on how you pieced and trimmed your square in a square quilt. I am amazed how inefficient I have been, particularly in the trimming department. The square in a square block has been my least favorite block to make. I think as a result of your guidance this will change.
“I think I’m in Love” also. The quilt I saw tonight is just what I’ve been looking for to make. I have a butt-load (can I say that?) of red and white fabric, that I could make 10 or more quilts, I just haven’t found the correct #1; UNTIL NOW! I hope I win, but if not, I will make “I think I’m in Love.” If I can borrow a camera, I will take a photo, too.
I hardly recognize our United States. Stay safe from all the evil in the world. Bonita Machemer
The trimming process you used was different than what I had been taught. I need a rotating mat. Beautiful red color in those fabrics. clara-chandler@att.net
I love that being organize made the blocks come together so quickly. I also liked the way you cleaned up the blocks. Its a beauty (the quilt).
I do like to cut it all at once and organize it so I can just sew. Anytime I haven’t done it that way Im always sorry I didn’t.
Thank you for sharing your methods. Beautiful quilt
Love your tutorial on making this quilt. I dearly love the red work gathering fabric. It is so pretty and crisp looking. Can’t wait try it later this year.
Thanks for the demo…..I’m always amazed at how much you get accomplished! Great quilt….jmh
It is so illuminating to see how an expert does a thing. I thought I was doing well with chain stitching, but you chain stack and chain trim and … and … Thanks for sharing!
Love the quilt and your process!
You better bring a ton of that fabric to Paducah in September because it’s going to sell fast!
Love anything red! Your quit is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing your technique.
Great tutorial. I don’t think I’m in love, I know I am! Love love love your red work line of fabric. Red is my favorite color, even drive a red car!
Yes!! I am in love with this quilt!! Thank you for the block step by step. I like the rotating mat and that you trim multiple blocks at a time on it. Love the way everything is so organized!! =:)
I found it very interesting how to trim using the rotary mat. And how you chain stitch to the max! Lovely quilt!
I trim like you except on the mat with the holes to turn. That is very handy. I also piece both sides and press then the next 2 sides, then press.
I love when you say that takes too much time. Mostly time is what we need. When we do things faster AND efficient, we really can get things done.
Thanks for showing us your way. You rock!
How could you not be in love? This quilt is stunning!!
I so enjoyed your step by step tutorial on your stitching method, and I did learn some great tips on how you trim your blocks. Thanks so much for all of these tips, tricks, tutorials and videos. Learning many great things.
Great post, Lisa! I am amazed at this technique! Thank you!
Oh yes, I AM in LOVE❤️❤️ With this quilt!! You make it look so easy, it’s so nice to see how you do it,
I also like to chain stitch as much as I can, Thankyou for sharing, I’m always learning something from you!!
Lots of useful tips in your tutorial. I might try your suggestion of taking a picture of the layout to look for problem areas before sewing blocks together. Beautiful quilt!
This is such a beautiful quilt. Thanks so much for showing your process. It’s so helpful to pick up the various tips and tricks – when you trim, how you line up so you know what to trim, press with steam or no steam, etc. Your piecing looks so precise.
Great tips! I really like your tips on how you use your rotating mat. I need to get one. Your red work gathering fabric is gorgeous. I can’t wait to get some.
I like the pictures and the starch. No doubt it helps with precision.
I definitely think I’m in love with your new line of red and white fabric.
I’m doing your square deal right now. On packet 10. I’ll be done just in time for one of your new quilt kits.
Hope I win.
Pictures are worth 1,000 words!! Thanks So much!! Stay safe!!
Thank you for this great tutorial, Lisa. I think I’ve learned a way to simplify square-in-a-square blocks. You’ve created some beautiful fabrics and a gorgeous quilt. I love both yours and your inspiration quilt.
Thank you so much Lisa for taking your time to show us how you piece, very informative!! The quilt is gorgeous, but then again, everything you make is gorgeous!
I have long admired your precision in making such intricate blocks, and the speed at which you turn out new quilts and patterns! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise in photos and words. I really learned a thing or two! I especially like how you have everything sorted and ready to just feed into the sewing machine, your technique for trimming blocks without wasting time, and your encouragement to all of your admirers! Thank you very much!
Assembly line sewing is the best. I just love all the reds.
This was a fabulous sewing lesson. I chain piece which I learned from you over the years. Thanks for taking your time to show each step in sewing the blocks. I love the new red and white Redwork Gatherings fabric line. Can’t wait to get the fabric. This pattern really shows how fabulous these prints look in a quilt.
This is how I generally piece blocks like this. The only difference is that I always squared one block at a time and I lifted each cut piece off the mat as I went. Your way is a real time saver! Thanks for the post!
I think the red and white block in a block is super….and loved the post really can’t wait to see what you do next…sometimes I do one block then finish the way you do with lots of pieceing all at once…loving the website right now…your making the stay at home enjoyable….I’ve finished several pieces too thanks bobbie of Corona de Tucson Az
I love red and white quilts and redwork. Your way of trimming is a real time saver. Thanks! And the I Think I’m In Love quilt is beautiful, as is the fabric line. I’ll have to tackle this (some day).
Wow beautiful quilt and great time savers!
I know I’m in love!!! Thank you for the post, I did learn from the entire post. For me the I really appreciated the visual tip on pinching the line and the rotary mat trimming and not moving the blocks.
Perfect companion quilt for long long way home!!!
I just love your step by step instructions!! Love all the Redwork too!!
Very good to see how you cut your pieces and leave the cuttings there til you are done.
Lisa, Thank you for your detailed instructions!! And the illustrations. Lots to learn and apply to my next project. I think I’m in love is gorgeous.
I did learn a lot. I really didn’t know I could be so efficient. I will surely apply some of these steps next time I sew.
Great photos! And, yes, I learned that I need to get myself one of yhose pressing bars and a set of magic pins!
Thank you for such a helpful post! So far, I know that I’ll be making both of the Redwork Gatherings quilts you’ve featured so far. I LOVE square-in-square blocks. I could make them all day, and it looks like I will be doing so for a few days, at least. Thanks again!
I love the words on your backing. Will that be the backing?
It can be if you specify in the comment section and order soon!
It was interesting to watch your process and see the pressing strip stick in action. I am curious about these new pins. Loving the new Redwork Gatherings line!
Lisa,
I absolutely Beautiful.
Thank you..
I just love red & white quilts and this one is stunning!
This was the greatest post! Obviously because of all the red prints, but also your process was very helpful!! While looking at your beautiful photos and directions I was thinking (HONESTLY!) I think I’m in love with this quilt!! SO great that you named it that. Loved it!!! Thank you so much for giving such great instructions and I will be trying several out.
Love the red and white quilt. I need to try the new pins.
I just love watching the whole process. Inspires me to clear off my large table and get more space to be better organized!
Beautiful quilt , yes I piece very similar to you , I’ve learned along the way how to improve my piecing in my 40 + years of quilting. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent tutorial. I’ve been quilting for a very long time and I still was able to pick up some great tips to try. Photos were especially beautiful
Both beautiful, love love the square in squares!
It is really outstanding. Zen moment just looking at it!!!
I’m a visual person, so seeing is better than reading… great tutorial..
I also love my bitty rulers….
Thank you for your tutorial. Wealth of information! The quilt is so beautiful!, 👏👏I’m so happy I subscribed to your website. 🤗💕🌷🌷
I am always “In Love” with Red quilts. What I like the most is how you don’t take away trimmings until you are done with that round. I have seen the round matt but didn’t realize indents were for fingers. Clever.
My other fave was is how you press rows open. I have that long tool and really have not used much. I bought when it was a 12 Days of Christmas special.
Now you know all the tricks…
I think I’m in love with that quilt too❤️❤️👍👍
Great learning post. Beautiful fabric and quilt.
Love this fabric line- may be my favorite one you’ve done. (They’re ALL my favorites- your designs are always in a scale that is so hard to find. Small enough prints that they don’t get “choppy and blotchy” looking when used in smaller scale piecing but enough there that they hold their own in bigger units too!)
Red and white – my favorite for two color quilts!
I LOVE red and white quilts! I’m so excited about this line. I have already preordered this kit! Can’t wait! 😃
Most of my know how about quilting has come from you! I appreciate so much that you share your knowledge, tips and tricks. Today I learned how to cut more efficiently and it makes perfect sense. Between your shared knowledge and the Juki machine you promote in December ( which really is AWESOME, and I sew for a living) I am a quilting super woman!
Beautiful
Love love your quilt and the instructions were great! Thanks. Leta
I love a two-color quilt! Your quilt is gorgeous.
I loved your tips on sewing. I think I spend too much time pressing and trimming. I’m going to give your technique a try. The best thing I have bought recently was a rotary mat! I love that tool! Wish I had bought it years ago. Can’t wait to get me some of those beautiful red and white fabrics!
I think I am in love is beautiful. Your step by step instructions are very clear. Love it
I definitely think I’m in love. I love ❤️ this quilt, the red and white. Better, much better than candy. Luscious, lavish red and white richness. The pictures were great and help simplify the process. Thank you!
I chain piece like you, but I trim my triangle points, I think out of habit. Next time I’ll be trying your technique!
Excellent directions. Love square in a square. Makes a nice crisp design that is very striking. Everyone should be ready to start stitching this one. Antique quilts warm the heart! Karen
I love this beautiful quilt, I will have to try your chain piecing and trimming tips. Your new fabrics are perfect.
I do a lot of things like this but learned several things. Always new things to learn.
Thanks
Hello Lisa… yes I do piece like you, however; there is always room for improvement. Thinking I must have a rotating mat. Have your itty bitty ruler and do love it.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you for the great tips, your piecing is so precise and I love your new (old) fabric line. Keep creating
Having never taken a quilting class from you, I am very eager to learn your shortcuts and tips. Tools plus your tips plus your illustrations/videos make for a great start! I like how you assemble everything, prior to sewing.
Note to you Lisa, Life has given us lemons the past several months, but you have certainly made lemonade It has been so refreshing for me to see all your extra posts and videos during this time. Thank you for caring and sharing!
Love red and cream or white quilts. Glad you posted how you do your quilts as it seems so efficient. Your fabric is so beautiful!
I love this quilt!!! Such a happy design. And your instructions are perfectly clear to me. Thank you.
I learned a couple of tips that should increase my efficiency. Waiting to press until both sides are sewn and having multiple blocks being trimmed at once will be things to try. Thanks for taking the time to do the step by step tutorial. Looking forward to how you cut out a quilt, hoping for more tips to incorporate in my process.
Very, very helpful! I love that you modeled on an antique quilt.
Thank you so much for the post! I learned a lot. I have a Juki that I got from you. Do you always use that foot to piece? Can’t wait for your other posts.
I don’t have expert skills in piecing so I enjoy all of your tips. Plus I really like seeing all the neat notions you use. Things I’d probably pass by in a store. It gives me a good idea if something is worth buying.
I’m bookmarking your post — beautiful! — and so is Long, Long Way From Home!
Beautiful quilt! ❤️ Thank you for showing us how you put it all together!
I think your quilt is just beautiful! And I believe the picture tutorial worked just fine. Making the blocks a little larger and squaring them up to the correct size is the way to go.
I love, love, love 2-color quilts. They are elegant in their simplicity. Thank you for creating such a wonderful design for your red and white fabric line.
Great tutorial and gorgeous quilt!!! I think I’M in love too!! 🙂
I watched your video with Nick starching fabric ~ how does he do starch on larger pieces that don’t fit on the table? Love the name you chose and love the quilt! Did you use white thread on the red blocks too? I guess with a name like Redhead…I must make a red quilt 🙂 and this one is stunning just stunning!! Kudos to you for replicating ❤️
Yes I learned about a couple of new products that I think I would like to try. The pressing stick and those specialty straight pins. The “I think I’m in love” quilt is beautiful! I’ve never done a red and white quilt and it’s on my bucket lust😍
Oh my, I do love this quilt! ❤️
I piece the same way as you piece Lisa; the only difference is that I don’t cut my pieces oversized and then trim them down. I believe all that trimming wastes fabric and time.
Thank you for sharing your quilt and the fabulous antique quilt that inspired it!
I’m in the midst of moving and my stash is completely packed away. I’m saving this post though, because I want to make this quilt as soon as I get settled into the new house. Love your reds and this quilt! Staying hone agrees with you Lisa! You’re wearing it well
Absolutely beautiful quilt from simple blocks! I think the depth of your reds in the fabrics give it a great soft warmth!
This will be added to my bucket list . . .
I am in awe of your methods- you always make it look so easy. I think it is the starching and pressing efforts at the beginning- your fabric is not flopping around while trying to sew it!
Thank you for sharing your techniques. You make it look so easy. I need to take a piecing class from you. Somehow my piecing never turns out right…Thank goodness for your wool applique’. I love it!
Great quilt! I love red and white quilts and your fabrics are so pretty! Great tips Lisa. I need to buy one of those small spinning rotary cutting mats, that looks very helpful for trimming. I have your ruler and it is my favorite and most used ruler.
I love the square in square technique but have issues getting them centered and squared. Thanks for the pictures and comments….i definitely picked up some pointers to try the squares again. Thanks for sharing!
I think I am going to have to invest in the spinning mat. Seeing your process was very helpful. I have been quilting a long time, but sometimes there is a little nugget or two, that just makes life easier. Thank you!
Very nice and very interesting. Maryann
Thank you for showing us how you make a quilt so fast, it was inspirational! It makes me want to start one today! You make it look so easy! I noticed how much straighter our new methods of sewing look than the antique one. I need to give your starching method a try. Please keep teaching us!
I tried the starching before sewing and it does make a difference. Prep takes a little extra time but so worth it! I also learn something every time I read one of your posts. It’s the tips and tricks that make a piece go together easier. The long pressing stick is a good idea. I have trouble pressing my seams open and getting them nice and flat. Needless to say, I could watch you sew all day long! Thanks for sharing all you do for us!
I try to do the same process as you did but have never taken it to the level you do. I can definitely see where your process would save lots of time! I’ll be trying it soon. And, I love your prints and and the pattern. Hope I’m one of the lucky winners. Thanks for your inspiration.
I just love this! Most of my home is reds and browns. Love, love, love!
Beautiful quilt! I love the reds. I have a question: Sometimes when I stitch, I don’t quite get the quarter inch seam. Sometimes, it’s too short and I stitch a quarter inch. Do you cut your quarter square triangles a little bigger to get the exact seams? Thank you for this tutorial and inspiration!
You’re killing me! I can’t keep up! Ha! Ha! I love it all! You are a woman after my own heart and very inspiring. Organize and Cruise! I believe those two words sums it up. I didn’t know about the open seam for the bulk and so I will add that to my quilts(I need the doohicky–added it to my cart. ) I especially love your comment–no wasting time on trimming the dog ears. Also, the rotating mat is kick ass! a definite must to keep the pedal to the metal! In all seriousness, you just made me NEED to make this quilt. Great job! Please add me to the drawing!
This is exactly how I tackle each quilt I make. I just thought I was a perfectionist. The blocks are square and lay flat. I am also a longarm quilter. I have been trying to teach all my clients to cut larger then trim down their blocks to achieve a straight and flat quilt. Thank you for the step by step. I will send them to your blog.
Thank You
Hi Lisa! I love how trimming at every step really makes a precise finished block. Very nice effect when complete, beautiful!
I think I love everything Lisa! And the Redwork Gatherings fabrics are super awesome! Yes, I learned from your cutting and piecing photos/text. Very cool. I have a tendency to run to my iron too often, so this will make me think. You are a great teacher … I was with you on a cruise a few years ago. So many great things to still learn! Thank you for your energy and for sharing your love/talent of quilting!
I think I’m in LOVE tooooo, such a great quilt!! I never saw the Strip stick before ,I think that’s a needful thing !
Love all the tips and especially the stay stitching around the edge. Can’t wait for the next post on the quilting!
Thanks Lisa
I did learn new things!!! I didn’t realize you sold the long strips to make pressing seams open MUCH easier and I didn’t know I should stitch 1/8″ around my whole quilt so the piecing doesn’t come apart:)
Perfect name for the quilt. You are so organized in your cutting and sewing, no wonder you get so much done. I let too many things distract me. Keep up the good work.
I can’t being to express how much I love this fabric line. I’ve already pre-ordered the Long Wag Home kit and a fat quarter bundle. And I’m sure this kit is in my future! And I’m certainly going to need one of the rotating mats – looks much better than the square one. it’s too bad we aren’t in Paducah today or I could get one there I bet! Will miss seeing you there.
I’m definitely In Love With this quilt. I learned so much from your demonstration! I plan on saving it for future reference. I would definitely buy a quilting book like your Wool, Needle & Thread, which I love! Triangles and I have a long history…not always too happy! Sometimes I fought to get them perfect and lost many times. I feel much more confident since you shared how you do yours. Thank you so much!
I’m really loving seeing your video’s with your tips and the way you streamline and organize your piecing. I’m going to try them out, especially the trimming up on the rotating mat and putting as many as you can work with on it. I usually trim one all the way around and take the scraps off with each cut. So you’ve given us some wonderful time saving tips here. Look forward to seeing more of your work and tips. Thanks!
I love this! Your posts are so helpful-I hope you keep them up. Thanks for sharing!
Wow on all fronts, Lisa!! Wow on the fabrics, the quilt, the instructions, the photos, the notions!!!! Thanks for this post!!
Lisa, Thank You so much for sharing all this. Love both the quilts. I don’t have much for tools but now know I need a spinning mat and your 6″ Itty Bitty square ruler. You help build confidence in those of us who aren’t master quilters. Stay safe.
I love this quilt, and it will become another Antique one day. Great job on the demonstration. Having already pre-ordered the fabric, I must buy this pattern and backing fabric. It is great. “I Think I am in Love” as well. Stay Safe
LOVELY!!!!! This fabric line and pattern are WINNERS!!! Your tips are always great and much appreciated! Can’t wait to make this quilt!
Wonderful lesson. You make it so easy.
It is always great to see the process that another quilter goes through. Love the fabric and the pattern. I may have to splurge and get this one.
Love your instructions. Very informative, nice and neat and orderly! I am so glad you are doing these, and your videos. Just like attending a class. Love the reds!
I’m glad I’m not very deep into my SQUARE DEAL quilt. I will use d we’d hat I learned here on that one. THANKS!!!
Thank you for this post. I really like your idea of short cuts and time savers. Love this Quilt both the old and the new.
Perfect name for that quilt because I am absolutely in love with it! Thanks for the step outs! I know they were a lot of work but, super helpful. Stay safe, healthy, and stitching!
I love that you showed how you piece a quilt! Also I have a round mat so now I see a new use for it thanks!!
Thanks so much for your explanations & step by step photos!!! Love your beautiful quilts! ❤️🧵❤️
Thank you for such an informative post. I always learn so much from you. Love your new fabric line! Would it be possible for you to provide us with a .PDF of this post so we can save it and/or print out a copy for future reference?
Great step by step instructional tutorial with amazingly accurate and beautiful results!
I think I’m in love! Love the reds, love the pattern, love the tips and techniques and love Lisa for sharing your quilting knowledge
THat’s a beautiful 2 color quilt. ilike the interacting design elements.
Loving the. Red work. Red and white are my favorite colors in quilts. They give me a soothing feeling. Thanks for show casing these beautiful colors.
I appreciated your tips for sewing efficiently. i do chain sew and press and sew in batches. I need to remember your tip for taking a photo of my layout and seeing if it feels balanced before I start sewing everything together. And I learned the importance of starching from doing some of your SBOW programs.
Love the quilt! I don’t stream line my piecing like you did here. I would go block by block……I will have to give this a try. That goes for trimming as as well. Dumb but I just have never done it that way. I do take a photo of all my quilts now. I have found several mistakes before it was too late. Oh and helps me redo what I did when my cat tears thru the middle flipping blocks everywhere. Can’t turn your back on her! Thanks for the tutorial!!
You make it look so easy. I love the reds in your new collection.
Absolutely beautiful! I seem to always learn something new whenever you post. Thank you for sharing for expertise with all of us.
Love this quilt and the new red collection! I usually piece1 complete block at a time….but I’m defiantly doing your method from now on! I have all the tools used with the exception of the red rotary cutter. I always learn something new from your videos. Thanks for taking the time.
My organizational skills leave a lot to be desired. I need to incorporate more of your ides in my sewing. As always you can’t go wrong with a red and white quilt. Red makes everything cheerier Thanks for the tutorial.
Beautiful!! I would lay it across my loveseat.
I am LOVING this line:) Reading this, it isnt hard to see why your quilts look perfect. I keep forgetting I have a strip stick – I need to start using it. Looks like it will make pressing seams open a lot easier. Thanks for another chane to win. Happy Sewing!!!!
Awesome directions. Thanks so much. I always have had trouble squaring those pesky square in a square blocks. You make it look a lot easier.
I absolutely love this quilt! Red has always been my favorite color. I piece much the same way you do, but my revolving mat is old and just might have to be replaced with the one you showed. I also never thought about pressing the seams of the rows open. I can see where that would make them lie flatter. Thanks for all the great tips.
My favorite aspect of this demo is how your make each section a little larger and trim them up as you go. This was taught to me by a great teacher several years ago and it has done wonders for my piecing! Thank you for showing us this great tip!
Beautiful! I assemble my quilts pretty much like you do but I don’t cut the triangles bigger, I’ve often wondered how to do that. Do you have a standard measurement you just add when you are cutting it out? Thanks for sharing!
I think I’m in Love is right. Beautiful quilt. Yes, I do my piecing just the way you do. I don’t think anyone ever showed me it just seemed the easiest way to get them done faster. I did learn at the beginning of my quilting days to oversize the blocks and trim. Great way for perfect blocks.
Love this quilt and the step-by-step instructions. I’m a time-saver person too but I do trim my tips off on the square-in-a-square. I always think it makes it too bulky when pressing but I’m going to try it your way and see what happens. Thanks Lisa!
Thank you for the tips! I love this quilt! Gorgeous colors of red.
I love the quilt. Great photo assist tutorial and very clear instructions. My piecing style is to slightly oversize block components and trim. In the end for me it is less wasteful to do it this way. Square in a square is a favorite of mine.
YES, I’m in love too. Love the quilt but also love your detail to accurate piecing. I’ll try this soon. Thanx, Susan
Yes! I learned soooo much! Seeing your process makes me want to make the quilt! I think that I’d be enthused about doing more pieced quilts if I saw tutorials like this one. You make it look very doable and so I’m not scared to try!!! Thank you!💕
I have been piecing quilts for 34 years and I have learned some new tricks on piecing and chain stitching from your wonderful posting, Lisa! Thank you again for all your explanatory videos and helpful hints!
I learned a lot from your photos. I learned I have to be more organized and do things more production line style bc I am wasting much time starting and stopping and not grouping the same tasks together. I do wish I had a big sewing room with all the bells and whistles like u do, but your tutorial showed me a lot of little things that make a BIG difference. Ty.
Thank you so much for this peak into your creative process. It’s like having a quilting buddy!
Enjoyed your tips on trimming and holding off cleaning up your mat until all was done! Sometimes I get too anxious to just clear the bits away! Thanks.
Love the step by step and great photos. I chain piece but you really have the system down! Awesome!
When you starch, do you just let the pieces dry naturally? Or iron when you starch?
Thanks for a chance to win. Beautiful!
Thanks so much!! This was wonderful!! Plus you mentioned the gripper pins which was a wonderful new item I was not familiar with! Due to arthritis I have difficulty even feeling regular pins, much less holding on to them! I immediately ordered them! You have made my day and brought sunshine to my being able to continue sewing!!
I think I’m in love too!! BEAUTIFUL quilt!!! I learned a couple of things from your post today. The first one was to not bother clearing the scraps away when trimming your blocks. You’re right, it is a time saver! And the second tip was stay stitching around the outside edge. Brilliant! Not sure why I didn’t think of that one before 🤦♀️
That quilt turned out so lovely! The inspiration quilt is delightful as well. I like the idea of putting several segments on the rotary mat and then trimming them all before clearing away. I am definitely going to pull out my rotary mat and give this a whirl 🙂
Thanks Lisa for all that you and your team do for our community and of course for this giveaway opportunity.
Great piecing and pressing tips. Applique is my favorite, but I’ve been trying to learn to be a better piecer. This helps!
I have always struggled with square in a square blocks, so easy for me to get them wonky. I’m going to try it your way! Thanks for the clear tutorial, and for the pin review – I haven’t seen these, but they look great!
😂😂😂
Yes Lisa, I piece like you while I hear my husband (Lean Expert) in my head saying “one piece flow”. 🤔
You make things look so easy! I appreciate the time you take to create and share with us.
Lisa, where did you get that red cutter?! I need one of those and a red mat for my red and white sewing room for when I’m doing my red and white quilts!!
What a beautiful quilt and I did learn a few things just from the pictures. I was impressed with the long pressing stick and the pins. Was thinking of trying both of those along with the pattern. Keep up the good work.
Love this quilt.
For wool subscription what about a mystery quilt in box?
You gave us tons of helpful tips. I began starching my fabric after reading one of your earlier blogs and boy it does make a difference in piecing. I have your Itty-Bitty Ruler. To see up close as to how to place the ruler to square up blocks is so helpful. Love Love the quilt and the antique quilt is beautiful too. I have never made a red and white quilt before so this quilt is going on my bucket list. I forgot but I have those pins too!!. Need to dig them out and give them a try. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Thank you for letting us watch you sew. I try to organize , but I don’t do it as much as you do. Helps to keep things. in order. I love to strip stitch as much as possible. I have that iron and love it!! I want that mat! This really helps us to see how much can be done in one step. Thank you!! Love the name and the fabrics.
I confess that I am SEW addicted to red/white quilts and your designs. This collection has edged its way to the top of my project list.
Your ideas are so simple and practical that I often wonder why I didn’t think of that. I love your tip for trimming and never having to lay your cutter down. I’m going to start doing that.
I thought “Long, Long Way from Home” was wonderful and now I’m loving “I think I’m in LOVE.” Your piecing and tutorial is wonderfu!! My square in a square block sometimes is wonky, not as good as yours so I will continue to work on this. I learned, from you, to really starch my fabric and it works!!
Thank you for all your organizational tips! I took away several tips that should save me time and get me organized for less mistakes. Thanks for taking the time to setup and show this to us! I am definitely In Love!
Love decorating with quilts every where, i.e., powder room, as table toppers for dining table, sofa table, end tables, all kinds of quilt hangers, ladders. Wouldn’t have a problem finding room for this one!
Thank you! Being organized is essential. I never knew or thought about sewing 1/8 around a quilt to keep the seams from coming apart. I will be doing that going forward. The rotating mat looks amazing, I have one but not with finger grips, which would be so helpful. Very informative post! Thank you
Really like the tip about pinching the squares and lining up the tip of the triangle. That is a true nugget of LB wisdom. Thanks!
I love my itty bits rulers, have a set for my sewing room and my retreat bag. Love this quilt, of course my favorite colors I think I’m In Love with the kit and pattern. Than you for sharing such good instruction. Love that you make bitter and square up!
Lisa, I think I’m in love with the fabric and the quilt! Thank you for the demo….I picked up more than a few tips! And, thank you for the chance to win.
Love square in a square quilts. Thanks for the trimming tips. I always trimmed after each set of triangles. Your way is so much more effiecent.
Thank you for the excellent instructions. Truly beautiful quilt and gorgeous new fabric line
Thank you Lisa, I have learned so much from you. Love your videos and books. I have been quilting for over 35 years and still learning. Your Redwork fabric is absolutely gorgeous!
I am fascinated by the secondary patterns in this quilt. I found it interesting that you organized all the blocks and then did some assembly line sewing. I am going to have to check out those pins.
WOWZA… over the years I’ve learned a LOT from you, but the trimming GAME CHANGER!!! thanks
Just lovely!!! I really like the colors that you used. I found your tips very informative and time-saving. I’ll make sure to implement these tips on my next project. Keep up the good work and designs.
I love this quilt! Thanks for a great, informative post. I need to read back thru it again to make sure I got all your tips.
Beautiful quilt – thanks for the construction tips!
I learn something every time I read or watch a tutorial of yours. Lots of good tips! And I love the finished quilt!
Love the quilt but love the time saving of putting many blocks on your cutting mat at once not something i had thought about especially as i am pushed for space .i do have a lazy susan cutting mat and use it but now will be making better use of it.
Thank you Lisa! I LOVE all the teaching! I am learning so much! I learned a few things. Firstly I noticed you put tape down on the machine. I am assuming that its to help keep a line for the 1/4 in. SUCH A GREAT IDEA! I sometimes have a problem keeping it straight and now I am going to try this. I also learned how to cut everything out and do an “assembly line” while sewing. I am sure that helps on threat as well! Also I learned how to put everything out and then look at it and take a picture to make sure that everything looks good! So many great tips and tricks! I really appreciate you doing this!
Thank you. I like the way you piece. Every blocked looked perfect. I am so bad at squaring up 😬 I am going to save this post and when I start my next quilt (using Indigo Gatherings) I will use your techniques and I’m sure the end results will be sew much better.
I did learn something new- putting more than one block on the spinning mat. Thank you, Lisa.
Yes, this was helpful. I’ve never seen that kind of spinning mat, but it’s a “must have” for me. I was also struck by your comments about not trimming off the dog ears.
These pictures were great. Loved how you showed your organization of blocks as you sew!
All the Red and White fabrics are great❣️
I think I’m in Love, what a great name😍
Lisa, this quilt is beautiful and made in my favorite color! I, too love to chain stitch and press in batches. I will try your starch prep for the fabric and try putting my blocks on the rotating mat. Thanks for the visuals! They are great!
Thank you for posting your quilting process this way. I’m a visual learner do this spoke volumes to me. It’s a beautiful fabric line!
I usually work on just two blocks at a time. I will try laying out all the blocks at once as you have shown. I have trimmed just one block at a time. Thanks for the suggestion of putting several on the mat at once. Your pressing tips were helpful as well. I think all together these ideas will save me lots of time.
I love reds and white/creams. They can be used always, they just blend better on certain occasions. Thank you again for sharing your ways.
I have always trimmed the dog ears as I move from step to step. It’s nice to see that it isn’t really necessary. Your quilt is beautiful. Thank you for the step by step information.
Beautiful quilt. Thank you for the quilting tips, I learned many new techniques from your post to use in the making of my next quilt.
Thanks for taking the time to do this. I am a visual learner and this was great for me. These have been great inspiring posts.
What a stunning quilt. Your step by step instructions are nice and clear. Many thanks.
Square in a square in a square! Who would have thought? Not me! I love it so much that I am going to give this one a try. Thank you for the inspiration! 🙂
Love that you were inspired by another quilt to create this beautiful piece!
WOW!!!! An Old Dog can learn new tricks!!! Thank you for sharing your organized skills to sewing. This quilt
is amazing and I am excited to start mine. Thank you for being the amazing creative soul that you are.
I love the way that you don’t trim every single time that you stitch a seam. And the way that you trim multiple blocks at the same time. Great time savers!
Wow, Lisa, that was an amazing photo shoot to show us your steps of construction. I found your trimming tips quite interesting and I learned that I am not nearly as careful as you! 🙂 Your quilt is just so beautiful. I love the backgrounds as well as the reds. I am glad you showed us the original quilt too! Thanks so much for this in-depth look. K-
It was very interesting to see your quilt sewing process. I love the tip about putting multiple blocks on your turntable at once. This one I will definitely use.
Thanks for the efficiency tips. Stitching around the entire quilt top after completion I will definitely adopt. I also like the way you square up multiple blocks on the rotating cutting mat. That mat was new to me until I aw your post.
I love all your tips that you give us- I learn something from you each time- thank you for doing this for us- I really enjoy your site and of course your fabric and patterns
I Am in love! Can’t wait for this line to hit the stores!!!
I think I’m in Love is the quilt that I LOVE! It would force me to learn how to piece precisely I’m hoping! I super love these red and cream fabrics – SO beautiful. I’m ready for a red/cream quilt!!
I try to do chain-piecing whenever I can, but you take it to the next level. I will definitely be trying your approach to chain-piecing and cutting.
what I learned from your post is that I need to be more organized and focused when I piece a quilt. Your binding video is how I finally learned how finish that last bit on sewing on binding. Many people has shown me how to do it but I never got it until I found yours!! Love Love Love your fabric lines!
Thanks for your stitching instructions. I starch everything now because of you! Love how you use antique quilts for your inspiration!
Love your new line. Thank you for the tip of putting a pin in the first block!
Love this quilt and watching your stitching process! Makes it “seam” easy!
What a gorgeous, traditional quilt! I really like the step by step photo tutorial, they really help me, because I often struggle with just written patterns!
Love the detailed tutorial–especially because we get to see so much of this gorgeous fabric! You and I are about the same age, and I smile every time you name a quilt after a song, because our musical memories overlap.
Love this quilt and enjoyed seeing your great tips on putting it together. Very organized and precise. You rock!!!
Very helpful step by step photos. Thank you, Lisa, for a chance to win.
Great post for learning square in a square! I am finishing my Joyful Gatherings sashing stars. I will be trying out some of your tips tomorrow!
