    Really liked your aunt's quilt. I prefer a totally scrappy look. Perhaps i should want my projects of that type to be more structured , but to me, it would then be just another planned pattern quilt. I like the random improv look. But i do agree on not getting too excited and sewing them together too soon, so you dont get color or prints off balance, lol, been there and done that 😅.

    On my #15 block, I decided to make life easier, so I drafted it as a 9" on EQ and then printed it as an 8" paper piecing pattern. I love the way it came out.

    My mom-in -law bought this book for me as a thank you for pet sitting. I have a gorgeous fat quarter bundle by Laundry Basket Quits that I have been saving for a special quilt. I must admit that I looked through the book and was intimidated by it. I’m a new quilter, so I am so happy and excited about your sew along. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and techniques with me. 😃

    I have picked various colors and put them in a box. All my blocks will be made from this box. They are all different colors, and I think by the last block I will have enough representation of each color to make it cohesive.

    Thank you so much. What muslin are you using? The one I bought in the quilt shop, is very hard to sew in. Are all like that, or there are some more manageable? Anyone can answer my question. I’m new (2 years) in the quilting world…😊

    My tan fabric is by Stacie West for Henry Glass Fabrics. It is called "Timeless Linen Basics". It is 100% cotton printed to look like a linen fabric. It is not muslin. You can find the fabric I am using in quilt shops, it comes in several colors.

    Finally! Someone who recognizes the true meaning of a scrap quilt! Quilts made from coordinated precuts are beautiful; however, they are not, I repeat not, scrap quilts. True scrap quilts are made from, guess what? SCRAPS from your stash! I make scrap quilts that are color coordinated, and usually with small pieces. Loved this presentation!

    Thank you for these videos. I am yet to get the book but hope to watch all the videos again when I do. One question...I watched you select fabrics for the overall project but how did you select colours for each block? Did you have in mind which block would go next to which, etc in selecting the fabrics and colours?

    I haven’t been able to sew blocks for the Civil War Quilt-along, but I am following along with your monthly videos and via member posts in the Nine Patch a Day FB group. I thoroughly enjoy seeing how small changes in color placement can make the blocks look very different. Thanks for all you do, Karen! You’re one of my favorite teachers.

    Karen, you answered all of my questions but one that I asked earlier this week. The only one left was how can you mark a ruler that does not have 1/4 Inch increments. I am having iPad problems and cannot get to the post where you ask for questions. That is why I am communicating with you here. Thanks for everything you do for us.

    This video is SOOOO educational ! I saw many scrappy quilts where I could see and recognize a huge amount of work to put them together, yet they looked junky and undesired. Why ? Because the makers were not educated enough to make good decisions on choosing the fabrics or arranging the fabrics to look pleasant and cohesive when the quilts were completed. I learned a lot from your video !!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ! 🙏❤️

    All of my quilts are "scrappy" because I collect fabric from thrift stores, leftover sewing projects, men's shirts, fabric given to me, etc. I LOVE scrappy quilts because they're so interesting, always something to see as you examine it closely.
