Thank you for making both videos on this project. All the tips and instructions help tremendously and I look very forward to making my own. Love your show!

I am definitely going to make this,I know this was awhile ago but I hope to find this fabric somewhere, in Canada lol. Thanks for showing us this fabulous quilt

Thanks Rob I met you once, in Hamilton. You were filming One evening you came to the retreat center during our free sew, and visited. You went from quilter to quilter, sat at our tables and asked about our projects and our feelings about quilting. You were so easy and supportive to talk to we were all impressed and “lifted” it made you a real favorite Thanks

Love this episode !

I have always avoided anything that looked like a hexagon. Watching you has changed my mind. The rows make perfect sense and I I think I can do that! Thanks! AND this is a great time to start on a Christmas season quilt.

Oh my!! I was gonna sew my hexi’s together and struggle sewing ‘em together but I thought I’d get a quick refresher. Thank goodness I did as I now will do the obvious and sew ‘em in rows. Thanks!!

Thanks Rob for a great follow up, I have had my eye on a fabric for awhile not knowing what to do with it now thanks to you and Donna Jorden I can see the quilt I am going to create.

You are such a WONDERFUL TEACHER YOUNG MAN

Just a tip you might want to throw out there: Make sure you alternate the direction you see your strips! Otherwise, the entire quilt will end up more like a parallelogram than a rectangle. I found this out the hard way on a strip quilt and now I label every strip with an arrow on a sticky note reminding me which direction I need to sew that row. 🤗

I just found you Rob and I’m so excited. Thank you for your energy and great explanations. I’ve really enjoyed watching your videos. I can’t believe how easy stack and whack is. I just made my first hexagon and it’s crazy how pretty and easy it was. This is a pattern that has so much variety I won’t get bored. I usually have a couple projects going on to keep it interesting. Thank you…..and you have to appreciate your caffeine addiction, lol.

love love love this, thank you

Love! Love! It!

AHHHHHHHHH 😁 thank you so much for this !

Such fabulous quilt blocks! So very pretty! Thank you for posting and sharing your talent!

Hi Rob, thank you for your fun and informative video 😊 Have a great day.

Thank you for going over the construction!!

what a beautiful quilt.. thanks Rob!!

thank you for the additional instruction of this quilt

Thanks for more info on this gorgeous guilt!

Hi Rob! Great quilt!

Hi Rob, I enjoyed the quilt top I made last year. I did made the “rows” diagonal. And it worked! BTW, loving the CA surfer look.

awesome videos!

Great camera work; I can actually see the stitching! 😉

Awesome video like always. P.S. - love your new ‘face’.

You don’t really need to cut through 12 layers at all. Cut your fabric along the centre fold and handle each half as a bundle of six layers. You may need to identify a few elements of the repeat because you wont have printing on the opposite selvedge, but personally I don’t think that’s too difficult, and avoids buying a 60mm cutter, or busting your shoulder muscles, or worse of all, have a miss-cut and waste fabric!

I love this quilt. You break it down to where I think I could actually manage this one. It is beautiful. Thanks!

That little wooden man by the guitar is a good dancer.

It catching on the stitch plate could probably be solved by having some tape to create a "ramp"

It might be a good idea to keep your seam getting stuck in the machine table just to cover the step with any kind of wide tape and the fabric would just slide over it. 😊

At first glance I would never have dreamed it so easy to make the kaleidoscope effect. This is absolutely going on my wishlist to make.

Can you cut stripes 6 inches instead of 4inches?

Rob, I hope you’re still reading these occasionally. I bought this exact fabric to make this exact quilt. To my dismay, the repeats are almost exactly 23”. I’ve measured from the exact same place as you did. So…it really doesn’t matter that I get 6 strips, as long as I get 6 exact layers, correct? I could cut 4 1/2” or 5” strips, which would give me less hexagons, but they would be bigger, so it would essentially give the same area, just bigger hexagon elements, Yes? And…why is yours 24’ repeat and mine 23”? Has the fabric design changed a little since you made these videos? BTW, I’m hooked on your videos. Lots of fun going on!

Love this quilt. Great videos. Thanks for all the tips and tricks. I got the fabric. I need to carve out some time to get started. Stunning fabric and quilt. One question: I love the background quilt, too. What fabric and pattern is that?

trying to get the pattern download but unable to do so

Has anyone used this pattern with a different fabric? I've seen it done with poinsettia fabric twice but I'm curious to see it used with other types of patterns. I'm thinking a very large, vibrant print would be great.

Check out Missouri Star quilt company video tutorial . Jenny uses 6 quilt panels of a peacock and gets a fabulous effect. Any large print will give you a fan effect.

Some of the KZreadrs iron the seams open, does it matter which you do as long as you are consistent?

Can the fabric be cut with a 60 degree ruler WITH the tip, as opposed to a blunt tip?

Yes, you'll just have to cut your strips wider

Thanks Marge, The Sunny delight fabrics just started to ship to the local quilt shops, I suggest you call around and see if you can find it in your backyard, if not I bet you can find it with an online retailer.

Couldn’t you cut the half triangles out of a solid that matches the background, so that the color or print isn’t distracting to the eye?

Try keeping your hand almost flat when keeping the ruler from shifting, the way "Queen" Eleanor Burns does. It requires less pressure and is effective.

Sorry, but Never, I love Eleanor, but if your cutter jumps onto your ruler, and your hand is flat, you have a good chance of cutting a finger or two completely off, I have seen it. That is why a chef and a master quilter keep palms in the air, less flesh to loose when things go wrong. Just slow down and adjust your body, much safer.

I use a Panasonic, 360 cordless iron, and have been very happy with it. I hope you can find one at home so you do not have to pay the outrageous International shipping charges. I will be showing some for sale in a video in a few weeks, Rusty Moon, if you can not find one locally, please contact Rusty Moon in Missouri and see if they will ship you one.

Question please, I'm a confirmed quilter that washes my fabric. However, I'm concerned about doing that for this quilt and loosing yardage. Advise please.

My granddaughter and I LOVE this quilt pattern! I want to make a queen size quilt. How much fabric do I need to buy? Thank you for this awesome video!

It depends on how many inches are between your repeat. Watch his original video where he explains it more. For a 60 degree ruler, you need 6 repeats of the exact design. So you'll buy 6x however many inches between the repeat if the design. Therefore, look for 6 of the full print on the selvage. I hope that helps.

When I did this pattern I got 6 repeats with 4 yards of fabric. My repeats were about every 24 inches (which I *think* is pretty standard.) I originally watched a tutorial of this pattern from Donna Jordan/Jordan Fabrics and she just said buy 4 yards, which I did and it worked out perfect. Edit to add: I believe Donna's came out to 58" x 72" when 2 borders were added. So more throw size.

Do you have a current UTube video that talks about buying sewing/quilting machines and essential machine feet and tools. Thanks so much.

How is 4 inches the required length?

@makingitfunwithmichaelmill8161

2 жыл бұрын

4 inches is the length if following our free pattern, any size will work, as long as you have 6 identically matched 60 degree triangles.

Rob, I tried since your first poinsettia video to get this particular fabric from Michael Miller online. I looked in America and Australia in different shops with no luck. I'm based in Thailand and no quilt stores around here, just fabric markets - but no Michael Miller flowers :( I found other poinsettia flowers but they are very small. Can someone swap with me :D or at least point me to an online store where this fabric is still available? Love and admiration from Thailand

Can I pay for help cutting the material for the kit I purchased

Hi rob I can’t seem to make a account I would so dearly love to but the fabric

For the life of me I can not get the same result as Rob. Using a Tri-Recs ruler with top point flattened off. I'm matching up flattened off ends to form center of block. Adding the 3rd triangle to the first 2 does not result in half of a hexagon. It has a gentle rise in the center even though the outside is even. Do you have a hint at what is wrong? Is it really possible to get the correct result from a ruler that isn't actually 60 degrees, but is commonly called "Sixty Degree Ruler?" Pls. help me thank you.
