I LOVED the final reveal-so dramatic so perfect. Thank you for all your knowledge!

A beautiful quilt. You should title it the “Look How Far I’ve Come” quilt. Sashing is such a wonderful way to join so many different block colours & patterns. I really like the way you do the horizontal sashing to prevent stretched fabric. Thanks for all the work you do making these videos. I’ve learned so much. Blessings.

Thank you. Good name. It's funny. I didn't think my skills had improved that much in the last 4 years.

Very informative! I needed this lesson. I never thought about moving a row over, a few inches, and going from there. Sometimes we get stuck and need a reminder that we can do something different.

You mentioned how long sashing rows can stretch, which is true. One tip that helps guard against that is to cut sashing from lengthwise fabric if possible (parallel to selvedge) instead of crosswise, because the warp threads have inherently less stretch than weft. This gives some bonus stability to the project without varying anything else.

This is absolutely true. As a trained weaver, I can tell you, the Warp (vertical) direction of the fabric is always stronger than the Weft (or Filling, horizontal) direction. I usually keep that in mind when cutting Fabrics.

Does it matter if you are denting your Mount Scrapmore...

This quilt really turned out! I never thought to shift the blocks so that you don’t have to line up the sashing. One of my oldest UFOs was abandoned because of unaligned sashing! Maybe I now have the inspiration to just get it done!

I made crumb quilt blocks and sashed them but I found that the vertical alignment was not matching very well. I had some smaller partial blocks left over that I could use to camouflage the misaligned rows, so I did some raw edge scribble applique where you would put a cornerstone block, but I made them wonky to distract the eye from the misaligned rows.

This definitely answers the question from the Q & A about how NOT to end up with what looks like a pile of trash. I have always been nervous about using my scraps for fear they will be too chaotic even for a Crazy Quilt. LOOK AT HOW NICE THAT CAME OUT!!!!

It turned out wonderfully! I love your tip about marking your long sashing to make sure it lines up. I'm going to add that to my toolbox (as I have with so many of your other tips). Thank you!

I enjoy how you break things down and are so specific. Marking the 6&1” places on the horizontal sashing is brilliant. Gives me ideas about a set of 6.5” crumb quilt blocks I have. Your blocks wound up unique, yet unified. I would love to see this one again, once quilted.

Le quilt final est magnifique. Le gris me paraissait un peu foncé lorsque vous l avez posé mais à la lumière du jour il est lumineux et permet de mettre en lumière les autres blocs. La personne qui va le recevoir sera charmée. Belle journée à vous. Nathalie.

Great variations with sashings! This is perfect for all those leftover blocks. You have thought through the dynamics of everything in quilting in logical explanations. Love it!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm making my first quilt and want to do sashing...the trick about marking the horizontal so you align all the blocks 'perfectly' is such a great tip! OK, to be honest I tried a quilt in the 80's but ended up hating the colours...so put it away..so this is my second quilt. I'm using flannel and I realize it's harder to use but it's from the leftover fabric from when I made my friends' kids pj's for Christmas. They are in their 20's now and I wanted to surprise them with a quilt using all those old memories. The quilt will stay at mom and dad's to be brought out every christmas. I'm learning on this quilt but I've followed your tips and so far so good. I'm already thinking about future quilts with ''real quilting fabric'' and I'm pretty excited to be doing this. It's about time, I'm 71 year old!!! But have been sewing since I was 11 so this is an exciting new adventure for me. Thank you for all your videos, they have been so helpful.

Your quilt turned out great!

The off set blocks look great what a good idea thanks Karen your quilt looked great can’t wait to see it all quilted and done

Love your great reveal! Also, learned a new tip about sashing after 30 years of quilting - 'sew the block to the sashing' and not the sashing to the block. Changemaker (11 minute mark)! Thank you!

I agree!

Your new quilt looks very much like some of the scrap quilts that the old people made when I was a child (here in Eastern Kentucky). It turned out beautiful. Mom never bought fabric or batting to make a quilt. She always used scraps left over from making garments. She also used old flannel blankets and old winter underwear to make the batting inside her quilts. Plus, Mom never bought a quilt pattern. When Mom saw a pattern she liked in a Newspaper or magazine, she would draft a close copy on old newspaper using a pencil, and a 12 inch school ruler. She would stay up late one night to draft that pattern (so no one would bother her). Old cardboard from cereal boxes was saved and used to make her templates. She cut each piece by hand with scissors. If someone wanted a copy of her pattern, Mom would make and give them a free copy. From the begining of this pandemic, I have made and finished three hundred and fourty-two (342), 8 1/2 inch square, quilt blocks from my ever growing stack of scrap in boxes/bags. I have many others scrap blocks still in the making process; because, I don't make them one at a time. No two of these blocks look the same; and, there are many colors, and prints in each one. I am planning to sash one hundred and twenty (120) of the finished blocks in the Shadow Box style (using black and light yellow fabrics). I find making crumbs and scrap blocks relaxing and fun. Thank you for teaching me.

Thank you! I learned so much. I would have never thought of marking my sashing so that the blocks line up properly.

Great to see all your beautiful sampler blocks Karen. Your sashings were perfect choice.♥️🇦🇺

At first I thought all the those blocks with no cohesive color was a hot mess, but youshowed how the sashing really made a big impact for this quilt. I love the the staggered rows.

Wow!! Very well done. If I had such a variety of blocks to put in a single quilt I would have been completely stumped. Also thanks for the tip about marking the sashing at the 6" and 7" mark to make sure it lines up with the blocks - my crumb pieced blocks are all over the place, and that method will be way more consistent than my current "squish then pin and pray" method😅 Glad you have Mando as a cheerleader even if he doesn't always understand where the camera is 😂
