I found you by accident several yrs ago. I never sewed before. Since meeting you on line, I bought a sewing machine, tons of fabric, most all your templates, watch all your videos, and now have hours of fun creating my own patterns and copying yours…an entire new hobby. In short, THANK YOU. I just wanted you to know, you changed my life.

This really is much easier than it looks. It's on my " to-do" list for 2024. Thank you, ladies for your easy to follow tutorial. 😊

It is a lot of math, but you did all the work for us Jenny and Natalie. Thank you for showing us how to make this beautiful quilt so easily. 💕

There is an older tutuorial Jenny did and I really wish I had seen it first. In it, she emphasizes how important it is to maintain an exact 1/4" seam allowance. She says you cannot fudge it like you can other patterns. This is so true, THIS IS NOT FOR BEGINNERS. If you do not have an even 1/4 seam, the cascading blocks will not match up when you put the blocks together. Ask me how I know. I have a wonky quilt top, but I'm not ripping the whole thing. So frustrating. And yes, I've done all the methods to get 1/4 seam allowance.

I cut a lot of.my scraps into 2.5 inch strips. Looks like a great way to use them up.

I am so excited with the fabric I am going to use for this-with black! I got TWO jellyrolls to make it larger!

This is the pattern I used to make my husband's quilt of valor. I made the piano key boarder as well as the Vietnam insignia at the top. He loved it. It was done in patriotic fabric of course.

[mariependley]

Love this pattern! I think it would make a beautiful Christmas quilt in reds and greens prints and the white 2.5 quarters. Great job as always. Love you all!

[peggyreinhold]

This fabric is GORGEOUS! And I like the pattern you chose for it. I don't know if I have bought it in a jelly roll. 🤔 But "it's fine" to quote Natalie about the 2.5 inch squares. LOL I can use another fabric line for this pattern.
