I am lucky enough to have been taught how to measure and sew a traditional Manx quilt block by a friend who comes from the isle of Mann .
I made a runner for the bottom of my bed with Japanese fabric. I made 16 blocks all hand sewn and joined them all together . I love it.
I also like your take on the modern Manx block.

Thank you for sharing this modern technique along with a perfect scripture verse & words of encouragement!

I think you made this harder than it needed to be. There were supposed to be a couple more folds on the foundation fabric on each side. That way, you wouldn't need to keep measuring or ironing anything. That's the beauty and simplicity of the manx block; each one is unique to the person who made it. Yours is a lot heavier than the design intention because it is bigger than the span of your hand. You made some lovely fabric choices. You made a beautiful, oversized block.

I have never heard or seen this type of quilt panel. I love this! You explained this process so very well. I'm so glad your channel popped up on my feed. I have subscribed to your channel and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos. And thanks for the new idea.

Love this. A lot of work, especially by hand. Thinking of those who sat and did this.

Interesting block!

I remember seeing a quilt like that when I was a child. I grew up in the 60s and 70s. I think it’s very pretty!!

I really like the use of the previously created strips on the light side. The hints of color add such a pop on the light side!

Thank You Jackie for a different way to make a block. And I appreciate the Scripture.

Thank you, I really enjoyed this tutorial. I am now going to prepare my fabric. I intend to make a bag with the centrepiece being a Manx block. Xx

Thanks for sharing your technique, the Block turned out beautiful, but more than anything. Thank you for sharing a scripture with us❤

Beautiful demo, and your pressing mat is on my list.

I am surprised that, as long as I have been quilting, I have never heard of this block. Thank you for sharing its history and purpose and usage . It is all very interesting and you did a good presentation. Thank you
