10 minute block

I want to warn you this post is picture intense! I was out cruising the web looking at You Tube videos for some new quilting ideas and found one demonstrating an idea they called the 10-minute block. The premise looked quick and do-able. I want to make a 48" by 72" quilt. I decided that an 8" finished block would be the best choice for giving me the exact size I wanted. This size of block means you are dealing with 4 1/2" size pieces. I think the last seam is a bit fiddly and possibly…

I thought I was almost finished with the quilt and was ready to sew on the last border. I laid it on the bed and decided I would like it twice as big. The left black border will have to be taken off.

The YouTube video for the 5 Minute block can be seen here. I then stitched down the open sides just like I did with my Mexican Star quilt to create a curve. There are…

I didn’t get that much accomplished today. I attended a group bee meeting and then had to buy groceries and pick up our dog from the kennel and I think I piddled on the computer most of the afterno…

Have you seen the 10 Minute Quilt Block? (Find the tutorial at this link.) I had never heard of it until Thursday evening when I went to my quilt group and a friend demonstrated how it is made. So simple! Then another member of my group shared that she had just finished a quilt top made out of these blocks. When I saw her quilt, I was hooked! Perfect for the scrappy quilter! Here is my first try at the block: Inspired by my friend's quilt which is completely made out of dot fabrics and is so…

This is Lori's Ten Minute Block quilt and she asked for a simple free hand water design and just an echo in the brown curved diamond shapes. This is a really fast quilt to make and I have included a link to the YouTube video with instructions. Lori hand dyed the backing but it was a tone on tone print that didn't really match the design on the front. So she said to use the solid back side instead. When I went to quilt it I had to double check with her that she wanted me to use the back of…
