How nice of you to make them a quilt Kathy💙

[@benniefrans4763]

It’s already gorgeous How do you know if the fabrics from dollar are going to last

[@TheSewingChannel]

I typically "feel" and look at it with a ceiling light behind it...If I can see holes clearly through it then I leave it. If the weave seems strong and close together and the "feel" seems normal to quilting cotton then it is a go for me✅

[@pattysmith9386]

I love it I think it's beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤

[@kimberlystahl1746]

I learned over last weekend that backstitching was necessary for me. the very ends where I didn't started coming unstitched. I finished two quilt tops this weekend using backstitch at beginning and end of my strips and squares and oh the difference it made!

[@knittingnana2939]

The color is beautiful. I personally pin everything, I back stitch as well, but I always iron my seams open. Always.

[@barbarajefferysings]

I found a queen size plush blanket to use on a twin quilt. No piecing, and I will bind with cotton. I will pay the binding before trimming the quilt to limit handling it after it's cut. Have never used anything like this before so it will be an adventure!

[@helensoares2549]

I would have loved to have seen her face when you gave her quilt and pillows.

[@lmmaxwell2530]

Walmart has some nice fabrics, too.

[@Ronibearable]

Tracy, if you cut off the corner of the fold over backing with minky...you will get a perfect miter on a square corner with self binding. Let me explain. You know how you snip the corner tip to reduce bulk when you are turning something. (you have the 90 degree corner, and you trim the corner straight across without cutting into your stitches). If you cut the self binding minky that way, the two sides (right and left) when folded to the front will make a perfect 45 degree miter at the corner. You will want to cut the distance of your binding away from the point of the corner. In other words, if you are folding over a 1/4 inch to the front, cut 1/4 away from the POINT. You can test this with scraps, or even paper to understand the method. While I understand rounding corners, I prefer square because they launder better than round and this is how I get miters with wrap binding. The quilt is beautiful, your daughter will love it! Great job.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Thank you so much for reminding me of that technique💙I've used it before...it's a good one.. ❣ I can't wait to give this blue quilt to my daughter...so much fun making and giving quilts away 💙

[@ritaw9479]

Yes, made two blue, white, and some tan quilts. One of which I had to tell myself over and over that it was her wedding quilt and I could NOT keep it for myself! I’ve bought some of that same fabric to recreate that wedding quilt for ME! Haven’t done it yet.😮

[@selenarodriguez1475]

Just found your channel. Absolutely love all that you do. Keep it up

[@shirleyhuff1284]

I'm watching your video, the quilt is beautiful. When you put the monkey blankets up, I said you could turn them sideways and have 70 across and 100 down. But I knew that was not wide enough. I knew you could cut off 2 inches on each side of your top and it would fit. But I didn't think you would want to lose the extra fabric. Something you could keep in mind for your next project is to make those 10 inch blocks and it would fit fine. Good luck, I cant wait to see the finished quilt. This is my first time to watch your channel I think. I'm subscribing .

[@karentoynton8948]

Lovely quilt. Impressed with the juki.. thank you for sharing

You are awesome🎉 You are a terrific Teacher for me! God Bless you!

[@TheSewingChannel]

I had never thought of making a blue quilt either until I got that text from my daughter🤷🏻‍♀️ Thank you so much for the kind feedback ....I appreciate it so much💙

[@eleanorwittering3126]

As per above, maybe the reason you like *this* blue is because it's a different shade of blue, it "Nautical Blue." When I found it at Hobby Lobby I purchased every fat quarter pack they had (then spent a day driving to all the Hobby Lobby's in my area to buy what they had). Evidently it's popular still, they're still producing it--and, everytime I head to the big city I stop and buy what they have in stock! I love this batch!

[@eleanorwittering3126]

This blue is called, "Nautical Blue..." and it's gorgeous.

[@rowenaslater3067]

I use my plates to round corner, they are 3 different sizes so I just pick the one that fits my projects

fantastic blue and white are so crisp and clean looking. my favorite thing. my friend does a version of a pink and white, all pinks, but very picky about which pinks. and it was so lovely, she used a pale dove gray, and all sorts of pinks. not electric pinks, sort of ashy dubdued pinks. it was sooooo yummy.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Oh my ...I love pinks and whites too...super yummy❣️

[@martinagraham3792]

I made a blue quilt and used fabric that had been gifted to me. Everything was prewashed and went together nicely. When I put the binding on, my fingers turned blue. Turns out that one of those "gifts" was crap. I ended up washing the quilt nine (yes, 9) times before it stopped bleeding. This was before color catchers. Instead of a gift, it became a picknick blanket that now lives in the camping trailer.

[@amandaharvey455]

My son’s friend, Clay, was graduating High School. I asked his mom what colors he would like in his quilt. She said, “Just blue”. I chose the pattern, “Turning Twenty” which uses 20 fat quarters. I shopped from my stash, first, then I bought the rest at various fabric stores and quilt shops. When I went to give Clay his quilt, my husband went with me. He hadn’t seen the quilt. When Clay pulled the quilt out of the matching pillow case I made him, my husband immediately said, “I want a quilt just like that one!!” Clay loved his quilt in his favorite color. The following Christmas I gave my husband a quilt just like Clays.

I've made 2 quilts where every piece of fabric had to have blue in it somewhere. It was tons of fun going through my stash looking for scraps that had at least a touch of blue. Some of the scraps had to be fussy cut and it was so satisfying cutting the scrap to reveal the blue "gem" in the fabric. And it really made picking fabrics for my scrappy quilts so much easier.
