I know that we all have had moments when we are too afraid to cut our fabric. I wish I could have you all in for a workshop but this video will have to do.

Exactly what I was going to say! Like your hair before, Karen, but it's looking great now! I know that appearance is not important in the grand scheme of things, but a lot of women are dealing with hair issues thanks to quarantine and it's nice to receive compliments...

I think I gravitate to scrappy quilts because of my total lack of knowledge in this area, and the fact, this is one hobby I want to enjoy and not obsess over.

Yes me too. I’m as inspired by the ladies of Gee’s Bend as I am with Karen. I will continue to make the designs that my heart tells me. But I watch Karen’s organized, logical and very watchable videos. Perhaps by osmosis.

I love your videos. You have a lovely calming voice which gives me confidence to try new things.

Thank's! Have a nice day!

I love your videos. You are a good teacher.

You go girl! 150,000!

The number of times I've determined that a fabric isn't "quite right" and I've gone off to the quilt stores to buy more! Staying "safe at home" has certainly helped me to "trust in the pattern" ! Enjoyed this tutorial very much.

The most beautiful quilt I've ever seen was made by hand by my great grandmother who was a Choctaw native American. She used scraps of cloth left over from the clothes she made for her family. She used no pattern, no color theory, just stiched them together randomly. It was the most precious thing ever. Over the years it saw so much use that it finally deteriorated and had to be discarded. A sad day indeed. I sorely wish I had a picture of it.

Your quilt turned out lovely. You are right set a timeline and the fidgeting stops, the quilting starts and progress starts. Thank you Karen, really enjoy your podcasts, 🌻

Karen, your haircut in this video is lovely. It’s soft and frames your face so well and works great with your eyes and glasses, and complements your ears and earrings.

I love all your advice and I can totally identify with the voices in the head problem. I find that when I have expensive fabric it is harder to cut into. I absolutely love making scrap quilts because I never fear wasting any fabrics. If I get too caught up in perfectionism, I look at some of the quilts that both my grandmothers made. They were fearless about combining patterns and colours and they are absolutely my favourite quilts because they have so much personality.

Wow when did you jump into my head. I have made myself learn and then apply and not to fret later. I never point out problems when I show other people my finish. I have learned that I am always learning to quilt better. I love every phase of the process from picking fabrics to putting my own spin on things. I do not worry about cutting because I have a ball with my leftovers and or oopses. Thanks for your down to earth approach and helping everyone new or not new to quilting know that they are never the only one to go through a particular problem. And my friends and I have done enough charity quilts to know that someone will love it.

LOL...those voices

Trust in the design. I'm a newbie. Just finished my second Crib quilt with my BFF as my Mentor. She's been quilting since about 8. ...coming up on half a century experience! On my first quilt I decided on a Jelly Roll. She suggested some extra blocks. I got all blocks finished and started laying them out. BFF advised how to lay out. ...I tried about 11-ty-70 other layouts...and none were working for me. ...it was those extra blocks! I got advise from family members (non-quilters) who said BFF's layout was beautiful! ...so I backed my ears and went with it. >I< didn't get even partially comfortable with the layout until it was half quilted. I didn't 100% like it until I got the border on. There's so much more to this awesome skill of quilting than meets the eye!

I want to thank you for doing these videos. You chose a niche for emphasis that no one else was doing - not the tools, not the overall design, not the quilting. You chose how to do all the small steps for a successful outcome. It is SOOOO helpful. And, your videos are so understandable. I have watched some 2 or 3 times, but that was me not you (color theory, i.e.). This video is especially helpful. I have LOTS of patterns and LOTS of fabric, but Could Not Cut. This will get me going.

Love watching your tutorials huggssss xxx

There’s a wonderful place here in Ft. Worth where you can order material that they print on demand. I found a pattern that I just loved. Shades of turquoise with white crosses. Beautiful. So I ordered two yds to just be the main part of the quilt, planning to add to the sides to size it up. Well, the material was so precious that I couldn’t cut it. And...never could match to my satisfaction, anything to piece on the sides. So that wonderful, costly fabric is still in my closet three years later. Yes....I could make a lap quilt and probably will have to, but that’s not what I had in mind. So be careful buying precious fabric.

Hi. I live in Fort Wort. What is the name of the shop that prints on demand? Sounds awesome! Don't beat yourself for keeping the fabric. Just enjoy it.

I will be making my first quilt from scraps left by my grandmother and I want to use them to piece together a quilt I think she would have wanted to put together herself if she was here. The material has been in about two boxes for decades now because my mother was not into quilting and just made dresses for herself and my sisters. I like the ones you made and if the first one is completed in a decent amount of time I will be making another one from fabric I buy and see if it turns out the way I want it to be.

Just beautiful 😍

I have only made 4 quilts by hand having Never made a quilt and never having tube. Oh if only I had then, this knowledge. So now my 7 year old puppy got her own quilt. She was so excited!. She loves laying on the couch with me and my quilt. So when she got her own, she was a happy girl! I feel way over my head watching these but ur very funny and enjoy them. Thank you!

Picking fabrics is the absolutely most difficult part for me. I must be colour blind because oh my I find it to be so hard. I'll keep trying and I'm sure your tips and tricks will help. Thanks for the advice and encouragement.

Holey moley ! 😱 You just describe me to a tee. I procrastinate and hesitate ... all the while prolonging the inevitable .... it takes a whole mighty lot of persuasion to get started. I will just have to bite the bullet and finally start on making a quilt. Thank you for some of the best tutorials that are out there ! Luvya lotz Karen 🥰️❤️️💕😍😘

Karen, your hair is looking great. The color is lovely.

Holy smokes! I have that fat quarter bundle, and I would have never thought to pull in additional fabrics in the colours that you chose. Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your eye-opening process.

A very helpful video. And you look fantastic! Retirement is agreeing with you!

Great video ! Glad you don't make colour theory complicated ! The Ontario College of Art has a colour theory course , its intensive! U of T in its art program has a colour theory course ,which discusses how certain colors are based on how light bends etc . You version is simple straight forward and straight to the point . I was wondering if you have done a video on cutting matts ? I was wondering what to look for and how much pressure to apply when cutting and if the Matt's dry out ? There so many different kinds of cutting matts out there ,it can be confusing ! Thanks ,cheers.

Thank you for your tips!

Thoughts I haven’t thought of already starting out as a new quilter. Lol

This is probably the most helpful video on patchwork/quilting that I have watched because it focuses on getting started and putting fabrics together. As a beginner (later in life) I want to make the most of every quilt and the time, cost and energy that I put into it. I have ordered the Colour Harmony guide so that I can approach this task with more confidence because I have purchased collections with a fat quarter of every fabric in the range (because I love every one of them) but I then second-guess how best to match these fabrics into a quilt that showcases those beautiful designs. The tips and pointers in this video have helped to take me out of my comfort zone and into a space where I can be braver and much wiser about my fabric selections. I also enjoy your videos on the technical aspects of quilting as these are very clear and helpful too, thank you.

The more we do the better we get at it. Live this! Thank you.

I learn in spite of myself. You are a good teacher. I make every mistake you point out but I usually do not do it again after your session.
