I did this with a little bit thinner pieces of fabric that I had leftover from my Christmas quilt and it is going to make an AWESOME table runner for my mom for her Christmas present! Also my hubby was very impressed when he saw and that is always a boost!

I don't understand how two strips 2-1/2" wide become 4-1/4". The quarter inch seam should give you 4-1/2" shouldn't it?

I'm confused. If you have two 2 1/2 strips and a 1/4 inch seam that would leave two 2 1/4 strips for a width of 4 1/2. What am I missing here?

Several people have questioned my math on this tube project….I must admit math is not my strong point….Sorry. It should be 4.5…(I think..sigh). The idea is that you can have as many strips as you want and then just measure the total width of your strips and cut the contrasting fabric that size. Good luck and I hope you enjoy this!

Very interesting! I can't wait to try this technique.

I can't even begin to tell you how much fun this block is! It is really the first intricate block that I have ever done. You made it so easy! I felt so accomplished when I cut and then opened them up. Like tiny little presents… : ) thanks for your tutorials! I adore them.

I would luv to be on your e-mail list.

Thanx

Can you tell me, please, how you get your 2.5 inch strips to come out to 4.25 inches if you use a quarter inch seam. Mine keep coming out to 4.5.

Thanks,

Cindi

Thank you *so* much! I can hardly wait to get home to my sewing machine to try this out!

Love this idea bought enough material for 2 different quilts

I loved the tube quilt video. it's a real winner!

I like it….easy and I can see in a quilt! Thanks.

what size is your ruler and what size are your blocks.

thanks so very very much.

This is a WONDERFUL video! However, I do have a question: Wouldn't the four sides of each block be on the bias? I'm wondering if this would cause a "wavy" problem after all the blocks are sewn together or how careful I'd have to be so that the quilt will lay flat.

I just love techniques like this that are fast and easy to do … yet the finished product looks like it was very time-consuming and hard to do. Thanks so much for posting this, Jenny!

Do you have a newsletter? If so, I would love to be on your mailing list. My e-mail: Stitchlady@embarqmail.com

I can't wait to try this method!

Hi Carol,

The ruler can be any size because you're just using the angle it gives, we use a 6 x 6 or a 12 x 12 depending on what's on the table

Quilter's Daily Deal

What great tutorials!!! Please keep making them.

Gracias por todo el tiempo dado para explicar tan lindas cosas.

Desde que entre a esta pagina mi pasion por el quiltin aumento.

De nuevo gracias.Sus tutoriales son bien claros.

Wonderful. I never would have thought of this, and it is a terrific time saver.

Well done and I can hardly wait to use this technique. It beats stitching little scraps together, doesn't it?

Am putting it in my Favorites so I can keep organized.

Thankyou for a great tutorial I am a new quilter have already bought fabric and just tried this out I am wrapped . keep up the good work .

great idea love it when it is so easy and looks hard!

This is such a great idea. Thanks a bunch. I hope to see more video's as good as this.

Is there an error in the tutorial? The 2 strips together measure 4.5" for me. Do we cut the third strip 41/2 in wide WOF. I cut my third strip 4.25 inches and nothing is nmatching. I am frustrated.

I just love these tutorials. I've always wanted to quilt. I'm determined to make a table runner for Christmas. Please keep adding new tutorials. They are so helpful. Wish me luck.
