Thank you!!! First time I've come across this method. SO burnt out on the endless expenses, myriad of tools, need for space, and the general excess consumption flaunted in this craft. I don't own a working machine, and make do with out a dedicated space. I stitch by hand, seated on the floor. Fabric has to be purchased on-line, and the colors are a best guess. The last time I spent money on an order, the fabric quality was disappointing (I honestly think the place substituted poly blends for Kona). Therefore, back to my considerable stash of scraps, and thrifted men's shirting. I can already envision how this method can be adjusted for a sort of quilt-as-you-go for a larger piece that remains manageable in-hand for most of the construction. I really like your border-first process. Excellent tutorial, and beautiful results. Happy stitching! I may start something tonight.

Excellent replies here. I've just bought lots in on line sales after using up my stores from 30 yrs ago. I am seeing quilting become a bit like fashion with companies putting out continual quilting designs with a number of complimentary fabrics included in each. Obviously for a certain market of quilters looking for the latest & best... I'm happy to mop up the leftovers at good prices 😊 but feel this is yet another industry ramping up production. More consumption even in quilting fabric is not what the world needs now.

Thank you so much for your demonstration. I had just watched a "The Quilt Show" episode featuring Sujata Shah. She gave a wonderful presentation and her colours were beautiful.

I just recently learned about this method of quilting. Very frustrating to try and find a tutorial where someone is talking!!!! Thank you 😊 Could you do a double fold on the backing to create a binding? Then continue as you did placing the outer ring of patches but tucking them under the binding.

Noticed edges of scraps weren't turned under. Wont they fray over time?

They are turned under, except for the sides that get covered up.
I would love to know what kind of needle you used here. This would make a great quilted pillow cover- just use white or light backing fabric (or even a thin muslin). Then when the Kawandi is complete, add a backing, using an overlapping “envelope” technique, no zippers required.

I like to use a chenille needle, it has a big eye for my embroidery thread (pearl cotton, my favorite which is rather thick), and a sharp point.

Hello, well I am limited to 10 minutes on these videos, so lots of editing required. I tie a knot in thread and pull it through only the top layer, so it's not visible on the back. Yes, all 4 sides of new pieces folded under about 1/4". Hope this helps, lots of other folks are making these, so look around online for more info.

Hard to believe the stitching will hold by just 2 stitches on the back and then cutting it. Maybe if it was never washed.
