🏆 🎉 BEGINNER QUILT PATTERN - STASHBUSTER #10 - FAT QUARTER FRIENDLY

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Well....making this video took longer than expected 😎. The Carpenter's Star is a classic and I am so happy to have one in my Stashbuster series. And I already have a special someone that has claimed this one. Be sure to check out the new colouring pages where you can play with the colours over and over again. Enjoy.

[@ninatoole521]

Thank You. Truly love your videos.

[@margaretportera3553]

Karen even though I have been quilting for over 20 years I always learn something new from your videos. Thank you 🙏

[@sueshast9329]

Great video. And I can see why your quilt has been claimed so quickly!

[@ravensmokedancer8242]

This one is so fun to do!

[@ravensmokedancer8242]

This one I have done before. Once I learned how to do good hsts, I made several!! Thank you!!!

[@noelquentin57]

You had me smling with joy at the tips about using tape ledges on rulers! I never thought of that, and what a great idea!

[@melanievarela4048]

It sure beats paying premium prices for specialty rulers!

[@bethotoole6569]

Karen is the queen of great ideas!

[@dorothylabounty8263]

Excellent! As always, so well thought-out and simply presented. BTW - my husband happened to be walking by while I had one of your videos playing. He heard the expression "Mount Scrapmore" and burst out laughing. Somehow, he knew exactly what you meant!!!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Love that!

[@safarichey]

Using the painters tape idea is beyond BRILLIANT!!!

[@beckersauce390]

You are just the best

[@piacremer6170]

Love the marking and cutting hacks with masking tape 👍😀

[@petmomful2260]

What a beautiful quilt. I find your videos very very informative and fun. I really enjoy them. Thank you.

[@Marla.22]

Beautiful

[@carlaholm5574]

You inspired me to make an hst quilt with some of the charm packs I bought years ago. Just last week I started thinking about doing a carpenter’s star with more of those packs. Just then you post a carpenter’s star video. Thanks for reading my mind (and others’ minds by the same token). Much love and thanks to you Karen!

[@maryannecadd796]

I love your tutorials! They are a great inspiration and always so well done. I have learned so much from you. I am grateful that you share your patterns and tips and tricks to make me a better quilter. Thanks!

[@shelleysimons862]

Thanks Karen! Great tutorial as usual! Could you explain why and when you use the walking foot for piecing.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

For the ¼” mark…it also helps with bias seams

[@kelseyjulander3835]

Awesome as usual!

[@MrsCruzski]

I could not possibly say thank you enough for your clear, slow, and precise videos!! For this beginner quilter - they’re invaluable. I appreciate all the time and energy you take to make these videos. Thank you, Jenn.

[@trulayoung7302]

This quilt is so beautiful I would love to have it. Please let me know much lt is.

[@flossymelton7658]

Amen. Her videos are clear. Excellent.

[@user-ze9do6vx5l]

I’m into this tutorial 13 minutes. I’m a novice. Made potholders and baby quilt. Every quilt video I watch no matter how complicated it is they always labeled quick and easy in the title. Most of them are easy if you are experienced. Put it in perspective I guess

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I would not do this as a first quilt. Try STASHBUSTER 1, 2, 7 or 9 for a first or second quilt

[@sandrahill2206]

I made a quilt with padding lining - can I wash in machine gentle cycle without losing the padding or separating?

[@violet2048]

I never considered making a jig for cutting my HST's. That's genius. Thank you.

[@katherineanderson8570]

The tip to trim off 1/4" from each corner before sewing is brilliant! Thank you for that.

[@palindrome36]

Absolutely love the tape and ruler hack! You have created your own Bloc Loc ruler.

[@cyn4rest]

I made a miniature carpenter star almost 30 years ago I guess. But I’ve always wanted to make a big one. Thank you so much for this video. I’m really anxious to get started. Thank you.

[@candydeister]

I could use a pattern like this with nice big blocks for a change of pace! Thanks so much for the nifty tricks, too!

[@monikadonnelly7105]

I've always liked this pattern, and your video has just made it more accessible for me to try it. Thank you.

[@katec2322]

I am a old sewist but a beginner quilter and I stumbled across your channel by accident. Boy am I glad that I did! Watching your videos has taught me a tremendous amount about quilting. The jig method you showed in this video is genius!! but, I really appreciate that you show us how to lay out the fabric and cut it and how to choose the fabrics to use. Then you go step-by-step with tips along the way to actually create the quilt. You are amazing. Thank you for sharing your brilliance with the world.

[@sandramyer7081]

Karen! Wow- your tutorial was understandable! THe directions were much more with the light, mdium and dark and your visual ideas showed us how you did it. Wonderful! Thank you!

[@mary-annz.reynolds7778]

You've been busy! I have prequilt!💕 and I'll be utilizing all your stash buster videos since I have to either make a lot of fast quilts or donate some of my fabric. My room is so crowded with fabric. I remember your old video about only having enough fabric that you can actually use. lol. Maybe you could make a video about "decluttering your stash."🤣

[@hazeldw4786]

Omg! I love your jig idea! This pattern would be perfect for a QOV quilt with very little adjustment. I see this in my future.

[@lisegagne3716]

Thanks for this great video! It really cheered me up! Life has been a little rough snd this inspired me today! Sending hugs and I love the scrap series so much😀

[@tiffanycollier54]

Watching KZbin quilting videos cheer us all! Good luck and love with your trials.

[@annaaaen-stockdale9748]

Always a delight, always learning something new! Thank you, Karen!

[@chrislittebrant5235]

Thank you Karen, I love your tips, very helpful. ❤️🥰👍 Chris-Raleigh NC

[@sunflowerbaby1853]

I love, LOVE, the stacked tape tip. Absolutely brilliant. ⭐ This would be great with flannels too.

[@kristym117]

Do you use a walking foot for making the HST's? Sometimes I notice the fabric shifts a bit, even with pins.

[@sueharber2496]

I'm from North Wales, and have just finished this quilt for my friend in Toronto, its going in the post today, so I guess its coming home😂. I absolutely loved every minute of it, it was fast and easy to put together ( your hack of the diagonal tape to square up the HST was amazing!), and the finished quilt was just gorgeous, I am actually quite sad to part with it - but she is a very special friend, so I'm glad to send it to her - thank you Karen ❤

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

so glad this was useful.

[@debl-s5677]

To make a small mat turn easier, put down a piece of fleece¹ trimed to the mat's size under the mat². It should spin MUCH easier. Do be careful with your cuts though: press *firmly* so your mat won't slip & slide.³ ¹ Quality doesn't matter, so Walmart's cheaper fleece is fine. ² No hemming is required with fleece, so there is barely any "bump" on the mat if you go over the fabric's edge. ³ If you have a small mat dedicated to being your "spinner", you need only hot glue 1-2" fleece strips around the edges so the mat under the rotary cutter 'catches' your table & is less likely to slide. (A great use for scraps!)

[@kathyleahy7314]

Love this. I spent a day making it using smaller 4.5 inch finished blocks and it turned out really nice. Your tips with the tape on the ruler, how to press the seams, how to cut, the tape on the sewing machine to get accurate 1/4 seams, ironing tips, using crumbs were all new to me, and really made my tasks easier and more accurate. I haven't sewn anything in years, but I knocked this out in one day! Thanks Karen!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Excellent 👍

[@leafisher2531]

Love your KZbin channel. It would be helpful if you would please supply a link to your web page in the information box below the video. Thank you for sharing. I have learned so much from your videos!

[@amikrenzel5788]

I really need to make some stashbusters and the other day I was thinking the carpenter star.....then today I saw your video. Love the ruler trick. I will not be using fat quarters but I love that if I did it would be no waste. Great video!!!

[@KittenBowl1]

Great tips and great way to use up fat quarters! Thank you! Will check out your website. 😊

[@patriciagazey4693]

Love your directions and efficiency

[@distaff2935]

I like the tape jigs. Thanks!

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

That gig, using the 6 layers of masking tape to make an edge, is a wonderful idea. I have wished that someone would print coloring books of quilt pattern designs for coloring. I have been drawing my own (on to grid paper) to color when I am looking for hidden designs. It also helps me to deside to use sashing or not; because, some patterns look much better with sashing. Thank you for this video.

[@katespencer4038]

If you go online you can put in quilt coloring pages or something like that and choose what you want but may have to resize. I work in nursing home and put in coloring pages then the subject the resident wants.

[@HRHDMKYT]

Kate Spencer Brilliant suggestion!

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

@@katespencer4038 Thank you. This is another wonderful idea.

[@cleementine]

Maybe try Prequilt.

[@DH-qz2so]

Lovely fabric line - I didn't see it mentioned above,...which fabric line is that?

[@OKLisa]

I love quilting, but I would never have a stash big enough to make this quilt. I would have to buy the material to make it.

[@craftystash8667]

Ok ...now I have ANOTHER quilt to do 🤪

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Fantastic. Thank you, you make it look so easy.

[@animalkah]

Trimming 1/4" from the corners? This is a game changer for me!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

It helps when the sewing machine isn't eating your blocks LOL

[@melindamckenry6368]

Thank you for a very informative video. I would like to make the Carpenter's Star with 5" charms - as a beginner quilter, I would like to take on smaller size quilts. Is it possible to make with 5" charms and do you have pattern/sizes for this? Thank you so much.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

No sorry

[@lisagarner8261]

Great tutorial with tips I’ve not seen before! I’m shocked at your fabrics though…..that’s not your usual go to.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

They were a gift…definitely my colours just a bit more desaturated than normal

[@NannaLiz]

There are two best parts on this video for me: the tape hack and how to add the top and bottom borders to make it longer. The borders make the quilt much more usuable, in my opinion. I don't have much use for square quilts. Thanks! By the way, could we have a look at you and your husband when you were first married? The motorcycle trips are certainly a unique way to celebrate.

great video as always. bless! love this block!

[@SoulsJourney]

Your stash busters are better than a lot of the patterns I see for sale! LOL That hack with the tape for drawing diagonal lines looks brilliant, I can't wait to try it! Thanks for all this info. 👍😁

[@josephinerichards6564]

I watch many of your videos - I always enjoy them. But something about this one was extra-soothing. Was it the background music? The pace of the speech? Maybe I just find the Carpenter’s Star to be calming. Whatever the reason, thank you. This quilt is on my “maybe” list for winter 2021/22. I’ve been quilting for years, but the thought of this basic pattern is very appealing.

[@gagasally]

Have always loved this pattern…so excited to do it! Thank you for the hand holding😀

Just love this quilt AND the the way you have done the page with the video, pattern, and coloring page for each of the patterns! Great idea!!

[@dianecurran8955]

Why did you trim 1/4 inch off the tips of the block before sewing. Thank you

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

So the pressure feet can lie flat on the fabric. See my videos Sew Straight and the Perfect HST

[@gwynwellliver4489]

I am so excited to finally learn how to make this quilt! I am going to make a throw quilt for a wedding present for DH's former students who now work with him. This pattern works great with any color combo or fabric style. We're going for modern and saturated. Thank you again for a wonderful channel and fun, easy stashbusters!

[@nzshauna3680]

Another good one, Karen, and I like the changes you’ve made to organise access to stash busters - my favourite rewatch episodes. Cheers!

[@triCece206]

this is a beautiful design. Thank you

[@kimg5784]

Very Helpful-Thank you!

[@arieldeshotel2016]

Why bury your stitches in a leader? Why not reverse and then go forward in the block piece itself?

[@arieldeshotel2016]

Nevermind - just saw in your "How to sew straight" video that if the thread isn't under tension, the first bit can make unsightly loops or shenanigans. So, burying your lead means having that first thread tension loop thing not on your pretty quilt block.

[@JohnArtEast]

I feel accomplished just having watched you make this 🤣
