What a gorgeous quilt!

[@reneefreidin4813]

That's a stunner!!!!!!! Very nicely done. I love the composition of the whole piece and the colors and fabrics are perfectly matched.❤❤❤

[@fayee8986]

Oh my word absolutely breathtaking❤❤❤ I'm a beginner and that looks so hard to do. I'll have to watch it over and over again. LOL I know I'm a dummy.😢

[@kathypeters9895]

I LOVE this! Your instructions are so clear. Thank you sooooo much! This could be an ongoing project to return to in the lulls between other quilt projects! PERFECT!

Loved your work, design and fabric colors here! Inspiring🦋

Hearing that this video is inspiring, which is one of the goals of this channel, is a huge complement. Thank you, and thank you for watching and commenting.

@@quiltingplusmore I'm looking forward to seeing how you quilt your project and see how you incorporate your star border around the design. I love the blue fabric it's absolutely beautiful! You are such a careful sewer. I tend to get impatient and often end up with dull points and other funky block issues. 🤭. You helped me better understand how they happen and how to prevent them.

[@quiltingplusmore]

…my moto lately has been progress not perfection! This quilt has been a quilt of firsts for me. So…I decided to carry that over into the quilting. 😊 That video is scheduled to publish this Thursday. I hope you like it!

You made an inspired choice on your alternating block. Your quilt is both charming and colorful. One of my lazy ways to take a few complex blocks that I might have made as a test and get more real estate from them is to "economize" them. I simply do one or two round robins of corner setting triangles to get the finished size block that I want. For the last round, I choose a contrasting fabric for one block and an background for the other so the join is an hourglass. I don't mind pairing them with a simple economy by cutting a square for the center to go with the more complex centers. I got two darling baby quilts using this method--and used up some languishing blocks.

[@quiltingplusmore]

Thank you. Great idea, and love the way you 'economize' your blocks. Thank you for sharing and watching.

Beautiful!

[@quiltingplusmore]

Thank you! Appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@michele6708]

I might try these stars- they are not quite as fussy as I thought they would be. Thanks for the demo! Question: when trimming your block you do two precuts at the edges before making the final cut. Why?

[@quiltingplusmore]

Hi Michele - It seems when I make a full swipe cut, the ends move as I’m making my cut but my precuts alleviate that movement ensuring I get a straight cut. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hi. I was not able to find the book that you referenced for the butterfly. . All I could find was Picture Piecing by Cynthia England. Please clarify.

[@quiltingplusmore]

The book is Picture Piecing by Cynthia England. The Butterfly Test Pattern is located on pages 30 and 31. Thank you watching and commenting!

[@grace-v2d]

@@quiltingplusmore thank you so much for the information,. I am in the process of making a butterfly quilt for a coworker and the only part that I had not finished was the butterfly applique that I wanted to put in. I just had not settled on how to do it. This might work perfectly.

[@paulaneary7877]

Great job! That came out really cohesive and cute! I love the butterfly fabric, could you possibly tell me what brand and the name of it? Thanks.

[@quiltingplusmore]

The fabric is “Tiffany” in turquoise by Timeless Treasures. Thank you, and thank you for watching and commenting!

[@deniseb9171]

So...I was flipping through "quilts" and saw your paper piecing video. I didn't hear you introduce yourself or your blog.

[@quiltingplusmore]

Check out the channel intro video. My website is listed in the video descriptions. I have not specifically mentioned my blog as I’ve not been consistent with posts. Thank you for watching and commenting!
