How to make a Patience Corners- Block#6 of 12- Video Quilt Along

This is Block #6 of a 12- block video quilt along series. Every few weeks I will post a video tutorial on a new quilt block. At the end of the quilt along you will have completed 12 blocks (each measuring 12" x 12") and then I will post videos showing you how to sew them together and also how to finish the whole quilt.

This block only requires 2 different fabrics and is the perfect block for a beginner to start practicing matching up intersecting points when piecing quilt blocks together.

To start from the beginning of this Video Quilt Along click here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLABBAA89EA1D18609&feature=mh_lolz

If you would like to follow along but are not confident with your sewing or quilting skills I suggest you watch this video first: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SEVinxX2IQ

I hope you'll join us and spread the word!

Where is blocks 1 thru 5 and do we have to have them? Can we just make this block design...it looks easy for my step-daughter to make up as she is a beginner...

[TheCraftyGemini]

@65cmsmith All the info is in the video description box. No, you don't have to have them. You can make any quilt you want. Have fun!

[65cmsmith]

@TheCraftyGemini Thank you...if I had read a little closer I would've found it...lol. I will start with this one b/c it looks easy enough for a beginner to start on.

[TheCraftyGemini]

@65cmsmith No problem. Good luck!

Thanks Crafty Gemini! Love the series and I am going to make an entire quilt from this block. I have the perfect charm pack for the squares which are obvioulsy 5"....is it possible to adjust the size of the rectangles and make this work? Thanks again, so inspired by your videos!
