[@user-wy7xp4wu8t]

I like solids for 2 or 3 color quilts so do a little bit of collecting

[@margaretforrest3365]

🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day to all our Canadian quilters! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@user-id2xb5zn1g]

Thank you!

[@darlenerichter1013]

Happy Canada Day to you as well 🇨🇦

[@kathleenswan4184]

Right back at you!🇨🇦

[@bonniejackson7393]

Thank you!

[@bobyakiwchuk747]

Thank you!

[@tishuabradley6031]

Yes, more tank tops. Please! I am going through menopause and I cannot wear t-shirts! They are just too hot, LOL! I would absolutely love some quilting tank top shirts period love you Pat.

[@cherylwilliams42]

I love scrappy quilts. Yes. Memories. Scrappy and string quilts! Stash busters!

[@phyllistaylor6247]

@PatSloan I love how you don't stress. Not enough fabric to cut one more 10 " block. Just piece a strip on to make it 10". Block slightly too small. Just add a strip. You also have built a stash with a thought out idea so you don't have to shop for more fabric. You usually can make something you have work and you are organized enough to quickly find it. Thanks for walking us through you thought processes. Thanks for showing me how Not to stress.

[@jilbertb]

I worked at Joann's for 8 yrs. I won't need fabric until I'm 100 yrs old. 😂

[@pamelajohnson7347]

I do use a lot of solids for backgrounds and for backing sometimes. When I first started quilting I was scared to use all the beautiful prints because they didn't "match." I have evolved!

[@lynniep1905]

Happy Canada day to all our Canadian friends.

[@NanDorey-q5n]

Happy Canada Day !!

[@CindyOgilvie]

I love how tough don't seem to get stressed by having so many projects running! And all beautiful! I moved to a vacation area least year and this will be my first full year of enjoying everything it offers (and having time and space for the first time in many years to again enjoy quilting). Have a good day my friend. 😊

[@vickiw3545]

Yes, we use solid fabrics. Great for inner borders, sashing, borders and bindings. Solid help to set off a favorite very busy fabric or tone down a section/block on a quilt. lots of time, the solid is more of an accent piece.

[@candyhaugen600]

Yes! I love solids. I like white backgrounds on lots of quilts but thanks to you am expanding my use of other colors. I don't like quilts that are too 'busy'. You inspire me to 'get out of my box' and try something else!!

[@jwink1231]

Solids are fun - I made a Board & Batten quilt with solids in blue and teal charms and it turned out really nice!

[@cindywalters2334]

I never thought about how much solid fabric I use until this video. My stash is mostly solids. And yes, I love tanktops also.

[@jorupe7597]

That is a great sleeveless top, I wear them in summer, it's very hot where I live in California. I have several of her shirts and love them.

[@katespain2218]

So glad to hear you're liking the tees!! XO

[@deborahmilne3397]

🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day to our wonderful neighbours to the north.

[@lorrainepiche608]

Thank you

[@margespagnolo2375]

I love the new scrappy (wonky) quilt. It looks like such fun! I also don't tend to use many solids and I've really never thought much about it until your talk today. HMMM! My summer fun will be sitting on my patio and enjoy the weather (if it ever stays nice HA).

[@frontofficed.burnell-power6288]

Happy Canada Day! to all my fellow Canadians lurking here with Pat every morning :). Enjoying a day off and the last Canada Day for some time where it lines up with a weekend. Completing the quilting on my Figtree Canned Pears Quilt. It's all "push and mush" through my domestic. Looking forward to having it done for summer. I have had to pause Pat's QAL for Christmas in July to advance this summer cutie.

[@lorrainepiche608]

Happy Canada Day from Alberta

[@tamaracruz4299]

Never seen a quilter's tank top before, would definitely love to win this giveaway....and your fabric makes this 100% the perfect giveaway this summer!!! Thank you!

[@leonanowland3017]

I quilt with scraps and I am given lots by friends who are not scrap quilters. I save my solids to use for appliques. Of course sometimes I have the perfect print for a lions body or a boats sail. It's amazing how non matching fabrics look great in kids quilts.

[@JanHamilton-h9k]

Summer plans are to hopefully get a vacation in before I babysit my new granddaughter for the school season, while mama goes back to work. Plus get some of my UFOs finished, loved your idea on getting quilt labels done ahead of time! Happy Sewing!

[@GiGi-si9mo]

I just made my one of my grandsons a Minecraft Quilt. The character is the Creeper. I made it with all five inch squares in different solid green colors. The creeper character itself is solid black squares. Green. Green. Green. I saw green in my sleep. It was suppose to have a pixel look so I had to make sure that the same color green was not together. Even after that I like solids.

[@helenpeddycord2241]

Great show Pat! So much to share🤣🤣 Looking forward to the pics if VA Quilt Museum. I do use and love solids. They’re great for pulling fabrics together, adding variations and backgrounds! The tank top will be a great addition to your collection! Spot on for this heart wave most of us are experiencing 🥵

[@maryedwards6336]

In your don Quixote block you have the wide part of the scrap blocks in the center. I can't tell for sure..but in the pattern I think the wide part of the scrap block would be toward the outside edge. This makes it more like a windmill.

[@debbievasquez8945]

Summer plans - I just retired so a lot of quilting in my summer plans 😃 along with a few quick trips to visit out of town family

[@lucyblum3456]

Love your March Block a Day quilt. This is my favorite pattern I’ve made this year! A pattern I’d do over and over!

[@cherylwilliams42]

I love solids! And yes, I use them to accent my prints.

[@patriciaallen3138]

I use solids all the time. It helps me to balance the busy fabric.

[@spiveytina]

I thought the pattern showed the narrow end of the scrappy block towards the center of the block and the wider part to the outer edge. My brain is spinning since I saw you sew the first block together. Either way looks great, Love your videos, I watch with my coffee every day.

[@marileekgriffith1812]

I don’t usually use solids because I think of quilts as a combination of different patterns & colors. That’s just me. 😊

[@jennystrahley927]

Yes on solids. I use them as backgrounds, backings, and sometimes in quilt blocks. I love the look of the tone-on-tone fabrics to use as backgrounds but I generally opt for solids and get them on sale. Quilting can be an expensive hobby as we all know lol. The green top you were wearing looks so soft--love the neckline.

[@slim215]

Yes, I would love to win the tank top and the jelly roll. That is my favorite fabric. I plan on going this summer to the new Virginia quilt museum. Maybe you’ll be there at the same time what a blessing that would be.

[@lynniep1905]

I love using solids for background but really haven't used them other than that. I don't have any dark purple quilts but it's my favorite color. If I ever make a quilt for myself it will have purple as the main color. I love the one you showed. Thank you for sharing.

[@marshawright3433]

I sort my solids separately so when I need some for a project, I check the bin. I do purchase extra fabric when on sale of potential backgrounds (lights) - store in a separate bin.

[@pamjay5465]

Hi Pat, I am loving the scrappy Don Quixote blocks! This quilt is going to be so colorful and what a good way to get rid of some fabric scraps😊 Now if I can just gather my scraps and sit and sew them into blocks. Thanks for showing this project. Wishing you a Happy July 4th.❤️

[@SandyDenney-so5ms]

I would love to be considered for the tank top prize! What a joy!

[@lisaemerson8061]

YESI LOVE TANK TOPS AND SOLIDS AND SCRAP QUILTS OF ALL KINDS

[@suequilting]

I use solids with print fabrics. I'll be with my grandsons a lot this summer. Thank you for all your videos!

[@carmenbailey1560]

Canada Day here, so Solid Red & White for the win. 👍❤️🙂🇨🇦

[@kerriwestbrook8105]

I love the scrappy quilt blocks! I only have a few solids in my stash. Thanks for the video and all you do!

[@user-jb5oc2rd7r]

I do have a collection of solids. Pinks, beiges, tans, and off whites for skin tones. Mostly, I go to that pile when I can't find the right shade/color that I'm looking for in the prints. Happy Canada Day! Love the scrap/crumb blocks and how you are using them.

[@sharonlyman3029]

Love the Alaska fabric. It's classy, not kitchy. Looking forward to what you do with these.

[@veronicah6766]

Y es! I use solids. I have a shelf of my bookshelf filled with solids. Then I have many yards of black, white and cream. I studied AMish quilts and made many minis of those and then branched off to design my own using solids. These are mostly wall pieces, a few large quilts. I often look at all my prints and wonder "where will I use those?" The opposite of your thoughts! Love your videos! Everyone needs connections.

[@SandyDenney-so5ms]

I use solids for my Seminole patchwork garments, but I do have a collection of 100 %cotton solid fabrics that I like to use with some prints.

[@nancystruble8305]

I love quilts made with solids, but never seem to have any, so now have a solids subscription from FQS.

[@pennydoyle1806]

I use solids a lot. I can usually find it easier to blend colors on some prints. But also like ombre.

[@nikkiwilliams3147]

When I buy any precut fabric, I always look up coordinating solids. If I need to add some extra pieces, need a background or binding I generally use the solids.

[@patdeacon7818]

Doing a shop hop one year I collected solid fat quarters. I used them in a queen sized log cabin style pattern. it's our summer quilt and currently on our bed. The left overs went into a scrappy irish chain which I donated for a raffle. Both turned out fantastic!

[@user-ho3ij8ee1b]

Love your videos every morning! Even when vacationing! Thank you!

[@PatSloan]

Yay! Thank you!

[@jodigrzeczka6617]

Two things I don't have much of are white fabrics and solids. I seem to go for tone on tone fabrics or tiny prints that read solid. I find they make my quilts much more interesting (to me!) I love how organized you are. I am working on that!

[@christaldehart7281]

As you can see from my purple quilt on The Fireside Chat, I do use solids, but I like the ones that show motion or some type of weave or small print that reads solid. I use them to make something pop or tone down.

[@patshel4002]

I have about 20 bolts of solid and quite a few blenders. It's nice to havr just the right colors when creating. My sew room is for me and 5 grandchildren and I notice they use the solids more than I do.

[@sharonbrignac4810]

Tank t-shirts would be very nice for the summer live in Texas and yes things are very hot also I would like to try to see what I could do with your porch swing fabric. That would be very nice to try to do something nice for summer with the greens .All right you have a great day and thanks for all you do your channel is absolutely wonderful.

[@donnatomlinsonEmbandCreations]

My summer plans include longarm quilting my queen oh my stars and completing a tshirt quilt. I enjoy the videos so much!

[@LoriMarion-i7n]

Hi Pat, I am new to quilting and your videos I Love them, I learn something from every one THANK YOU!

[@kanona0115]

I generally don’t ever use solids unless it’s my background. And mostly love a tone on tone background now. I keep at least one bolt of a solid onhand though so I can always have some in stash without always having to buy all the fabrics for a pattern.

[@cheri5911]

Lovely purple quilt!

[@catherineandrews8244]

Hi Pat, Plans this summer.. complete a “Chemo quilt” for a family member to use during treatment this summer, finish a baby quilt for my newest grandchild due in Sept in Australia! Also of course I have the Liberty box and am hoping to join in Star of Wonder wal. Good thing I am retired😅 Happy Summer, great time for a new tank top!😁

[@marieerickson9695]

Great video! I am hoping to take a trip to the VA quilt museum someday but I will look forward to seeing your montage!! Also your purple quilt is beautiful and the Wednesday quilt you got back is amazing!!

[@roseannecarratkinson4271]

I have used Kona, white and Kona snow before. I won some colored solids years ago, and I made two baby quilts with them. But a pattern I wrote, I will be using a Bella black solid. Pat you might want to check your block placement. You should have the smaller (scraps portion) turned in to the center. You have the large portion in the center.

[@barbararice1196]

Happy Canada Day🙂 Don't use much in the way of solids, but I am not opposed. Enjoyed the video, Ty Pat!👍🇱🇷🙂

[@jostauffer6637]

Solids? Yes, I do use them , but not as much as prints. Solids tend to spot and show it, so since I make so many kids quilts, prints tend to be better for them. However, I started piecing and quilting around the time of the bicentennial. That was also when the Amish Quilts were of great interest (Esprit collection). They used mostly solids, I think it was prescribed by their Church order. So... I started using/collecting solids as I wanted to make some of their designs. Over the years, I have made other quilts to feature solids, but I mostly work with patterns. Currently I am doing a mystery sew along with solids and I do love the way the colors are really highlighted using solids.

[@user-wm6qe4sz2d]

Good Morning Pat from coastal California! 🐬You have inspired me to tackle some purchased and home made kits and panel projects this summer - making really good progress… 💪 Current kit is all solids. Otherwise, Grunge more my go-to solid, some tone on tones. BTW, love those two panels that show multiple Bella solids & multiple Kona solids - handy tool for color reference. Need a Grunge one! ❤

[@nancymatheson9992]

I buy a bolt of solid once in a while but really prefer fabric that reads solid or has a tiny print scattered.

[@jilbertb]

Ironically I am sorting all my solids mixed in my storage bins, to a container of their own, right now. I never made a quilt of all solids, but I just bought a bunch of Kona dk gray for a background to use all my solids for the blocks.

[@annarickel6655]

The tank top is nice, but your fabric sweetens the deal!

[@patricialeshkow6387]

I use solid fabrics mainly for backgrounds, but I do have a few quilt books where they do use solids, so I hope to get to them soon.

[@deloresrast8543]

I rarely use solids except for background.

[@BarbaraStarkey-z4m]

Love to watch your videos. My plans this summer is to spend as much time with family as possible. July 4th everyone is coming to my house to celebrate. Always a fun time with my children and grandchildren. Hope you are enjoying summer as well. Would love the shirt and jelly foll.

[@TIFandTAP]

I use solids a lot. The younger crowd likes quilts with solids. I keep Moda snow around for background. I use the moda solid layout panel that list all the colors to make my choice. I also use solids for the backings. The price differential helps with costs.

[@wendylangley8497]

I’m enjoying my summer so far, at the lake! I just told my husband that you would love it there. I made white and red polka dot curtains for the kitchen a few years ago!! 😉 Please enter me in your recent giveaway!

[@gregconniepryor255]

I use solid with Kaffe fabrics for sure. I think it brings out the beautiful prints.

[@FredaM]

Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦🎉 I don’t use solids very much. Even for background fabrics, I use tone on tone or low volume prints! The closest I’ve come to using solids is grunge, since they still have a texture to them.

[@carolynmiller4763]

I absolutely love your purple scrap quilt. This is on my bucket list

[@tzfatree]

I do use solids, but usually just with other solids rather than mixed with prints.The exception is backgrounds - I have used solids for backgrounds many times.

[@LynnFry-xm9nm]

I don’t typically use solids, I prefer prints. I like tonal prints and low volume prints.

[@carmenmaldonado2982]

I don’t usually use solid colors. I do use a lot of white for backgrounds. But not other colors.

[@Becky819]

Hi Pat, I love the tank top and would like to have one! My plan for July is to make a baby quilt and next month to start quilts for a couple of birthdays. Love your videos!

[@marcellarodriguez7955]

Oh my goodness!!! It was fun seeing the second picnic basket of solid fabrics. That vintage basket is one my parents used to use when I was young;)

[@Carol_Sews]

I rarely use solids. When I buy a lot of a Moda fabric line, I sometimes buy the coordinating Bella solids if the designer specifies the correct colors to use. I have found that trying to pick out my own colors online results in my purchasing fabric that does not match. I prefer tone on tone prints.

[@lizpelletier7785]

I use solid fabric as backgrounds in quilts.

[@suebuckley4366]

I ❤ that T-shirt!!!

[@maryjanestrauss8307]

An enjoyable show as always. I keep a bolt of Kona white, snow and black on hand at all times. I love working with prints and find one of these solids seem to always work with the prints. Like you said, they cost a bit less and really make the prints pop. I'm hoping the FQS stocks up on your Porch Swing 2 1/2" strips or that I am the lucky winner. Thank You as always. Learn something new every day.

[@pampeterson3092]

Good morning. I am not a solids person, I prefer a tone on tone fabric for background. What I do gravitate to are fabric lines like Fig Tree Eyelets and especially the Grunge. I will use solids in small areas of a quilt. Your current scrap project will be fun and I look forward to when you have it finish. It is a wonderful way to use up those random scrap blocks.

[@karengiles1273]

I don't use alot of solids for some reason. I did, however, use some bright solids recently in a baby quilt.

[@mavisharris5123]

I might use solids a little to coordinate with my prints. I do use Solids as backings sometimes.

[@shirleystrosaker5337]

Jlooks like pearl instead of white!

[@user-ii5vh1qk6d]

I think the wide end should be turned to the out side edge of the block like a fan blade

[@marlahanks7278]

Hi Pat! Guess I'm watching too early, I don't see a place on the website under today's info to add a comment. I found it later! Sorry. I bought a layer cake awhile back that has various shades of orange solids to be able to use in pumpkin blocks. I have a few other solids, but mostly buy prints.

[@astridcolvin9719]

I use solids all the time..can't have enough

[@marilynquilts]

I rarely use solids except in backgrounds. I just prefer the movement of prints.

[@janiceurffer325]

Trying to use what is in my stash. Love solids

[@ccreel64]

Happy Canada Day to my Canadian friends!

[@margaretduke5858]

I don't use solids a great deal. I prefer blenders. Love the new.tank top you showed. I think you and I are about same size. It good to see you using the scrap blocks you made a while back.

[@debbievasquez8945]

Not big on solids but may use for a binding. I don’t typically keep many in my stash

[@suzanneramsay7757]

Happy Canada Day to all. We will be going to our local fire hall for their annual pancake breakfast. Tables set up inside their fire truck hall, they cook the breakfasts on outdoor grills. Local community band plays through out. The emergency vehicles are available for all to view, including children. Always a good community building event where we can meet and visit. I love your barn raising quilt. I will aim for that with my scraps that I’ve been saving. I will look at your new tank tops and hope you brought one in as a v neck as you did some of your t-shirts.

[@nancyandersen615]

MSQS had a layer cake of your Sleepover fabric on sale last week. Even though I have out a moretorium on fabric buying for a time just had to order it.

[@steveschumacher5470]

Thanks for showing us how you use your scrap blocks and fabric. I will be excited to see them both the new one and the yellow one go together. I love the aqua one that you did. Thanks Jo

[@bevpowell9039]

[@dupdike4922]

Hi! Pat, I never use solids, I love tone on tones especially in whites.

[@juliebeard6424]

Yes, Pat I use both solids and print. I buy single pieces and bundles for specific projects mainly. I’m doing a particular quilt pattern at the moment by Bonnie K Hunter. ❤❤
