I really enjoy it when you do these creative and unique quilts! I think it encourages people to make quilts that are truly their own and not like everyone else's. It's fun watching people do kits or predetermined sew alongs too, but in the end, while the quilt is pretty, it's not necessarily unique to the maker. Love what you are doing! ❤

Frances, I completely understand. I had a completely different idea for how this project would turn out. When I finished one block I just wasnt really sure about it. I am glad I kept going though.
@FirstHusbandofQuilting

Frances, just like my wife said, she wasn't really that happy with how the block turned out initially, since it was different than she had imagined. But, she kept going and the end result is AWESOME. Quilters seem to be very hard on themselves (I get it, I'm a perfectionist), but sometimes, I think we all need to just keep going so we can see how our visions turn out. I'm so glad she did that here because this is one of my favorite quilts she has made!

Beautiful quilt, and I'd like to gather up some scraps and make it! It looks like fun! I've heard good things about the Acorn Pressing Pen. Does it leave any residue on your iron?
@sewbeitquilts
10 ай бұрын
Great question! I have never had it leave a residue on my iron if I use it properly. The instructions say to wait at least ten seconds before pressing. If I press right away I had some residue. If I wait then I haven’t. I’m not sure why the ten seconds makes a difference but it really does!

Someone may have already mentioned this, that shape is called a parallelogram. Lovely quilt!
I just received my Trim-Lock cutting template set, and I love them! The template material is sturdy and thicker than some rulers, I love the diagonal lines and no-slip feature, and the handles to turn them are great! Thanks for the quick delivery too.

To save time at home, I prep my scraps at work. I keep a set of quilting tools at work. I reserve a conference room, pop in my earbuds and cut. Best use of my lunch hour.

Hi Fallon! Can you tell me where to get the pattern for the quilt you and Donna made behind you with the orange/red backing? The 8patch with a snowballed square. Love to make it! 👍😊

Hi I live in Australia and tried placing an order for the trim lock but unable to do so can you help please.
You mentioned the various sized rulers to square up the blocks. Are they all sold together with the gripper? If, so where?

Yes they are sold in a bundle all together. You can find them here: sew-be-it-quilts.myshopify.com/products/trim-lock
How do you define scrap? & scrap quilt? (Genuinely curious, because, I call charm pack squares - scraps. And it appears as though you are using multiple pieces of one print - I try to avoid that when my goal is a "scrap" quilt. I know other define scraps as leftovers from projects, etc.)
Is it safe to say that 1/2 of the fabric you cut will be background?
@sewbeitquilts
9 ай бұрын
Yes if you want a background fabric instead of all scrappy then half would need to be your background fabric.
