    I might be trying the 2nd option, two separate pieces, next. That one seems a bit easier for me since I won't have to sew a very long stitch to get the two pieces together.

    This is my very first quilt. I have tried before but I was doing triangles and couldn't get them to stay square, and that was years ago. I also took a regular blanket and used it for batting, a length of fabric that had a steam engine going through the snow and I think 3 or 4 yards of navy blue fabric. I didn't know how to do any quilting and we didn't have KZread back then. I sewed about 2-foot section at the top of the train material and the rest on the bottom and then pinned it to the blanket and then decided to get more of the blue for the back. It didn't stand up very well because I didn't know how to quilt but my ex loved it at the time. Mine won't look as random as yours because I only have 5 patterns on my strips. I bought mine at Walmart and they came in a bag of 20 strips 2.5"x42. I bought 2 bags that matched. But so far, besides the fact that I wish I had more variation, I am liking how it's going so far. It's definitely helping me learn to sew straight. Thank you so much!! <3

    I just received my first box! I was so excited to receive it and see what goodies were in it! Wow! I was SOOOO disappointed! Absolutely NOT worth the money! The Fat Quarter Shop puts out a monthly bos as well and they are waaaay better than Mrs. Quilty by far! I will wait to receive my second box but if it isn't any better than this first box then I'm cancelling any further shipments. This is MY honest review!

    Borders for the quilt? It is the same as putting on 1 border. You just keep adding fabric around your design. I do not have a video with mitered corners for borders yet though. Just squared off borders is what I usually do for my own quilts

    Good morning, I think I like the second technique. It really seems really easy to do. I have two extra blocks that I will definitely practice on so I can actually do it on a larger quilt. You, as always, have a great way of explaining and teaching new techniques, espy for a beginner.

    I mix best press with water. It was an inadvertent error the first time because I had water in my spray bottle already. So I mix two thirds of a bottle of best press with one third water and it works fine.

    I've even heard of some people mixing half and half with water. I haven't done it myself but I suppose it would depend what your project is - just flatter straight seams may be okay, but I'm not sure how diluted you would want to go with bias edges, for example.
