[@maryackermann]

I love the green stripe in your picknick quilt. It adds interest. Please keep it in! Love when you talk about choosing fabric for different projects.

[@diane3363]

I for one absolutely look forward to seeing how you choose your fabrics for projects! Having a visual of the process is so helpful. Thanks Pat for all you do!

[@ladyjane3660]

Vicki's quilt was worth the wait. She did a really beautiful job on it. It's going to be stunning once it's quilted.

[@kimabee2422]

I love that dinosaur fabric and the black behind it. The picnic quilt is so much fun,too!❤❤

[@christinevh1348]

I love when you audition fabrics. Your channel is unique in that way, and this is something that I enjoy watching and listening you talk through the process. Thanks for all you do!

[@diane19456]

Yes, yes, yes. Really appreciate when you shuffle around your fabric. I rarely buy kits that go with patterns so when you preview your fabrics, you help me find fabric from my stash. Thanks again!

[@angiepolizzi7641]

I drank the kool-aid and then some, because I am making the picnic quilt, the lantern quilt and the FQ Heart of America sew along and it is sew much fun. Thank you for your continued tips and inspiration. I love your creativity.

[@PatSloan]

thank you!

[@lynetteperry3559]

Love your Heart of America quilt Pat going to follow your picnic quilt Lynette

[@tracysmith650]

Love your mushroom earrings.

[@JanMeyers-mj8bu]

Love when you audition fabric. Helps me alot as choosing fabric is my nemisis!! I immediately eyed the green stipe in the picnic quilt...I found it a bit jarring. The pink I like. Love your show and never miss it.😊

[@PatSloan]

thank you! I adore the green stripe!

[@kimberlybegonia2869]

❤Picnic Quilt was fun! Using patriotic Red, White and Blue and ended up making my rows vertical and it turned up fabulous! It was easier that I sewed two of the 5”strips together then cut the five inch blocks. Working on a scrappy backing to use up yardage ❤

[@lorihamby60]

Great tip about marking our quilt front and back top edges for the long armer. I had not thought of that before and I’ve not had anyone else suggest it. Makes a lot of sense. I also love learning about auditioning fabric and cutting length of fabric. Thanks for another great video.

[@carlatoppass7055]

Oh yes, I definitely love seeing you audition fabric. As a beginning quilter, I learn from seeing how you do things.

[@PatSloan]

thank you!

[@beverleybrowning3480]

I do my own custom quilting so I don’t need to put a “note” on my top. To mark the tops of my quilts I always put a quilter’s safety pin.

[@patz780]

Yes, please continue the audition. I so enjoy the process of choosing.

[@teach672]

Thank you for sharing your experience! I always learn something new .

[@carmenbailey1560]

Morning Pat, I personally piece backing on all my quilts.Sometime the sides, but love putting actual pieced blocks down the centre. Thanks for sharing your process. 👍❤️🙂

[@laurag8641]

Happy to see there is a video to watch today! Hope you had a great long holiday weekend. Would love to see your fabric process. Love and appreciate all your quilting tips and thought processes as I enjoy seeing how others work through it. And visual tips and tricks help me immensely in my own sewing/quilting. Thank you for all you do, and the great products in your online shop!

[@laurag8641]

Well, I appreciate that you forgot and did one anyhow. Ummm, tackle tomorrow off as your “tackle it Tuesday”. hahaha. Mwah Thank you for the “heart” today

[@cekfraun]

Yes, Pat, please show more of your process auditioning fabrics with the dinos!

[@beckyearl5008]

Yes, please audition the Dino fabrics for us. Fabric is my favorite part of quilting and I love to hear your thought process.

[@nrobinson7951]

Hi Pat, I really like the backing for your heart of America quilt, thanks for the tip. Thanks for the extra video also.

[@nancyandersen615]

No rain here in the Phoenix area and the triple digit temps have moved in😢. Always spend more time in my sewing room during our hot months. Kind of like winter in other parts of the country.

[@dot7146]

Great use for that large ruler!

[@PatSloan]

they are very useful!

[@jennystrahley927]

Yes, I always enjoy watching your fabric audition process! And I also want to make a Crush quilt so it'll be helpful. I did notice that you had marked 'no video' for today on your calendar, but I also heard you say last week that your next video would be Tuesday. So I was hoping, and was happy to see a video this morning! 😊

[@carmenmaldonado2982]

The heart of America top is just gorgeous

[@nancyandersen615]

I bought enough fabric to do the center star for a pillow. Need to get started so it will be done by July.

[@maureentaphouse5206]

I 'm afraid to say that as soon as I looked at the picnic quilt I wanted to take out the green stripe. The pink one is so so but the green to me is too strident and fights with the dark squares. That's just my opinion on what I would do if it were mine.

[@dianegardner4603]

I’m glad you forgot and did a video today! Five days without one of your videos is way too long!

[@PatSloan]

thank you! but sometimes I will actually take a real vacation with no video making. We all deserve time off

[@cyndygaastra]

I would love to see you finish auditioning the fabrics for the Dino quilt. I have an adult friend who loves dinosaurs, but many times, the prints are very juvenile. Thank you for your videos. I look forward to watching them each day.

[@helenpeddycord2241]

Heart of America is beautiful♥️🇺🇸

[@deborah1555]

I love the backing you made❤. I would leave the green stripe off. It caught my eye immediately before you brought it up.

[@mariabean8627]

Beautiful quilt Vikki, thank you Pat for showing us. I love the quilt parades and I'm interested in your thought process in choosing fabric, it makes me look at fabric differently.

[@loraandrishak4958]

Yes! I love watching you audition fabrics!

[@arlenemacdonald2596]

I really appreciate your auditioning fabric while you explain your thoughts. I have learned so much from your videos. Thanks so much

[@sandracedar368]

THANK YOU, Pat. I hope you feel the love - ALWAYS❤️

[@lynnehrmantraut9167]

Definitely interested in the Dino fabric selection process!

[@maryluteruya8563]

Yes Pat, I would like to see your fabric selection process. Thank you.

[@candiesanchez2304]

I love seeing your process and thoughts on picking your fabrics…please film the Tula fabric to share with us!😊

[@karlabergwalker3332]

Love to hear and see the auditioning of fabrics, as well has hear Pat talk about options for binding. I've learned SEW much about quilting from Pat, and can't wait to see her videos!

[@kathyzellermayer1202]

Love seeing your auditioning process. I have to work from my stash and I try to match color to your selection. Thank you.

[@elaineserra2011]

Thank you for a great surprise video! I love the tips/hints you share. Very helpful!!!

[@christinehl4310]

Thank you for the bonus video. August is a good time for a longer break. It’s back to school time in Texas and people are trying to cram in their last vacations and appointments. Always enjoy seeing how you audition fabric for quilting. Hope you had a nice weekend and have a good week.

[@marieerickson9695]

I love seeing you audition fabric..it helps me to visualize the process for myself!❤

[@sharbubr2802]

I really appreciate you auditioning fabrics. I’m not someone who likes kits. I want to have a quilt different from anyone else but struggle with choosing the “right” colors for blocks “ You are really a genius at coloring blocks with fabrics.

[@lucyblum3456]

I use safety pins to label the top of my quilt and backing.

[@bethanykalb1301]

Thank you for the “bonus” video.

[@glenysp1206]

Yes please continue with the audition of Roar.

[@mammafo]

Oh yes on the dino blocks! I just got mine at my local quilt shop

[@rebeccamaccallum9239]

Love you auditioning fabric all day long!

[@susanhartley8207]

Thanks for the bonus! I always enjoy watching your videos.

[@Carol_Sews]

I don’t mind the green stripe in the picnic quilt, but I would definitely use more pink stripe than green stripe. Do you have more of the yellow/gold fabrics? There seems to be more pink than yellow. I like the way the pink contrasts with the green.

[@bellaannecgoff2335]

❤❤❤

[@doloresbrady3698]

Thanks Pat❤

[@kathysumulong7134]

I always use a 🧷 safety pin to put the note in my quilt.

[@marinaabad4995]

Makes sense, but a piece of paper whether stapled or safety pinnes, can still can be torn off, especially a small one. I would use a small scrap of fabric with a sharpie written "top" on it. that's more fool proof.

[@lesleysewhappy1740]

Love the auctioning of fabrics. It makes us think outside our box ❤

[@dupdike4922]

I use a small safety pin, easier than staples.

[@PatSloan]

you can do that. I just like staples and i have a stapler right here. Then they don't need to remember to give me back a safety pin

[@janisgrawey7477]

Yes I would like to see the Dino quilt.

[@marykendall]

Thank you for stressing the importance of marking the top & backing. It isn't always obvious like you would think for us 😊 Also helps if you don't put it right at the very corner. I ask customers to staple a note with "top" on each piece. ❤

[@carmenmaldonado2982]

I love the red for the binding

[@kimberlydickinson2333]

I can’t wait until I can sew and start this quilt. Still no power from the tornados.

[@nancisailormoy9135]

I used the same backing as your Heart of America on a flag quilt I just made but had 3 yards so just pieced it and it's such a fun fabric. On the picnic quilt I am not really a fan of those green stripes ( the pink ones don't bother me), but somehow they just pull your eye straight to them. Can't wait to see how it finishes.

[@PatSloan]

I love the green stripes!

[@bonniejackson7393]

Hmm, not crazy about the green stripe. My eyes immediately go there and miss the quilt😊

[@glendalewis3806]

❤

[@8machines62]

I hope you had a nice 2 days off! I’m retired so Om off every day!

[@elaine1587]

What about making a small quilt with the blue squares?

[@jayneterry8701]

I'm sorry Pat but I tried your method of cutting out a chunk of the material ( I'm talking fq pieces) but it's not for me. When I have that piece of fabric out I cut my piece then continue cutting it up into 2.5" strips and 2.5" squares. Of course I cut off 1" of the selvage first...as I love them. There Always seems to be lots of fabric around lol Looking at your picnic quilt, it's a variation as the pattern has definite breaks in the pattern design that give it the modern look. Doing alterations on current clothing I've noticed the same thing. It's kind of cool. There are seams where there wouldn't traditionally have been. 💗

[@PatSloan]

You know it's ok to try something and it's not for you. Sometimes you try and it becomes your holy grail, but until you try, you just don't know do you?

[@teresaallen4933]

Dinosaur quilt would be great.

[@pattyblack8446]

Use of the green stripe is questionable but it reminds me of a watermelon - essential for a picnic! 😄

[@mammafo]

How do you store that 20 inch ruler?

[@PatSloan]

i have it in my Koala cabinet slide out drawer. I've showed it quite a few times on my video. Otherwise store next to your desk or other cabinet. that is what i did prior with long rulers. not hard at all

[@wilycat5290]

Please, please take out the green 🍏 stripe squares. They should work, but they don't. The pink stripe ones are fine. Thank you for the video 😊

[@susanputman9671]

Instead of doing the 10" wide dino board all around, why not just use it on the top and bottom and then do the HST border from your wall quilt on the sides?

[@PatSloan]

I will be thinking of it as the whole reason to make this is to use the border

[@sharonbrown2468]

I easily mark my tops with a note and a safety pin.

[@PatSloan]

that works too, I'm showing you what I do, and I staple them. We can do different things and the end result is the same. A lot of ways to get the same end result in life, we all take our own path.

[@sharonbrown2468]

@@PatSloanditto!

[@sonjabowling3876]

Safety pins 🧷

[@PatSloan]

They also work. I just happen to like a stapler

[@chersolis3961]

Please audition! But try lime green in lieu of the red .

[@darlenerichter1013]

I’m interested in your crush audition. I’ve made this quilt and it’s one of my favourite. I may sew along with you

[@PatSloan]

thank you!

[@maryrose6302]

I love your dark and light color and the layer cake. On my opinion the green stripe is just too dark and demanding all the attention.

[@junehanson7865]

Not able to get into chat today 😊

[@aliceolivares-chawk8307]

Another one of those days. It's not allowing me to join the chat. 😞

[@cathiemoore7923]

The green stripe fabric sticks out like a sore thumb to me and doesn’t compliment the other fabrics. I like the fabric but not in this application.
