I really like your quilt. I was wondering why it is necessary to square up the blocks. Ive never bought precuts. Aren't they cut precisely at 10 inch square?

Nice table runner, do you sew the squares together, add batting and a back? I am just starting to quilt, love the charm packs. The binding, do you have a video that shows how to apply that? On the video, if you could show how to move to the next steps to the final finished product would be helpful for someone like myself who is just starting out. Thank you

I avoid stitch in the ditch whenever possible! I can never get it where it is supposed to be! 🫣 So, I have found my blind hem foot useful for stitching "at the edge of" the ditch, as you are doing here. I actually prefer the stitching to show, instead of being hidden.

Oh, for sure on lining up the points. My HSTs were so bad that I hand-sewed sequins around the entire snowflake to cover that problem!

Our quilt guild members did a snowflake like this with a fusible gridded interfacing. I think it went like this: Fuse squares. Fold over a row at a time RST. Sew along each row. Snip at intersections. Sew the opposite way, etc. It got so bulky with the interfacing. We exchanged squares for a lot of variety, but if not all cut exactly the same or fused super accurately, plus the bulk, it gets a bit wonky. Also hard to quilt with the bulky intersections.

Hi Kris! I love the antique Christmas stocking you’ve made from your grandmother’s quit and the lace is the perfect touch to really bring out the vintage feel to your stocking. I think it’s awesome that you can salvage pieces of this beautiful quilt.

I went on a shop hop in September and October to all 6 New England states (90 shops). One of my goals was to purchase blue fabrics for this exact quilt. I agree with using solid white for the snowflake. Though I only bought 1/4 yards, I bought so many. I'm hoping it will be enough for 2 quilts. I think it will be my next quilt I work on. Your quilt came out beautiful.

@SewtheDistance4 күн бұрын
Thank you! To make them bigger, just start with a bigger base square. I am not sure of the math, but I start with a 6.5" square and get about a 3" finished unit. I hope this helps!

Lovely quilt, Kris! I like it better without the sport fabric. I'd like to do a wall hanging version. I appreciate seeing your quilting with the walking foot. I forgot about the curvy stitches. I'm almost ready to try quilting on my embroidery machine. I'll practice first. Those practice pieces may be good for Christmas presents. Pillows, pot holders, maybe a large bowl cozy! Take care, Marion

I had seen many photos of these snowflake quilts and decided to make starting over a year ago. I didn’t buy the pattern, and am using smaller squares. I didn’t manage to get it done before Christmas, and then I just set it aside… and it’s been sitting since. You’ve inspired me to finish it. I love how you quilted it!
