[@nicolebaumann5667]

Hello. After buying 3 layer cakes of original fabric i finally Made this quilt to fit my Queen bed. IT was much easier thank i expected. Thank you very much for the Video!

[@janetlohmann586]

Thank you. Great sewing information. I also liked that you pointed out that you starched the fabric.

[@karensorenson4925]

I also love the fact that you don't have to buy background or sashing in this pattern, just use the layer cake fabric for the beautiful quilt!!! Thank you again Karen Sorenson

Hi! I hope you are having a wonderful day and have fun plans for this week. I'm sitting with my hand quilting. I just want you to now that I enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing this video, your energy and your time.

[@je7867]

Thank you for sharing and making this pattern free!! I was able to download with no problem. As a newbie in this space of quilting I appreciate your clear instructions on the quilting processes. I have reviewed many of your videos and found the instructions to be direct and helpful. Your website has a-lot of good information and provided answers to questions I had about the cake layer concept. I will attempt this quilt as my next project. Thanks again.

Do you recommend starching first? What are the disadvantages of not starching?

[@velosianna708]

As a novice quilter, I have a question. Do you use the expensive thread for quilting the end product, or do you also use it when piecing the blocks together?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Velo! Kimberly uses Aurifil thread for her piecing and the longarmers have their preferences for quilting the end product. Glide is commonly used.

[@velosianna708]

Another incredible quilt. When I watch your videos I feel like I’m in a candy store.

[@mama_knitter]

I'm a beginner and have a fat quarter stack on hand, could I make this using that?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Mama_Knitter! We have not tried that. Here is a link to the pattern bit.ly/3qJd2Ft

[@poohbear101]

The quilt seams are only as strong as the thread when you press your seams open, especially if the quilt is used frequently. The seams are far more likely to break. If you have ever had to sew seams back together because of this, you will never press your seams open again. Seams that are pressed to one side have twice the strength and much less likely to come apart from being “loved”. We all want our quilts to last through several generations.

[@jerrihalf5564]

Was the quilting done with a template? Programed in a LQM? I like the geometry of it for top I have.

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Jerri! The quilting was done by our quilter Gina Tell www.thread-graffiti.com/

[@bethrobinette6951]

I have a question on the Branching Out pattern. The seams on My first logs don’t match up with my seams on the trunk block. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to make an adjustment? I’m a little ocd so I’d like them to match.

[@marykayharman6577]

So sorry to bother you. I noticed on this quilt and the charm pack short cut quilt you didn't use a border. Would it be ok to add a border? And what size does this quilt finish without a border? Thank you.

How do I avoid bulky seams when joining rows? Please provide photo to show how rows were joined. Answer doesn't address my question.

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Russell! Pressing your seams open from the beginning of construction will be the best way to avoid bulky seams.

[@russellberkheimer5705]

I am addressing the bulk when joining rows ( joining row 1 with row2, etc). I did press the seams open from th3 beginning of construction. Could you please provide a photo to show how you joined the rows.
