Have you wondered how to get that ‘scrappy look?

[@judithgreenwood4704]

OMG Pat, Sunday I found 2 of your older books. I found a box that was unpacked and there they were. First one, Applique a Garden, 2010 and the second one, New Ideas for Applique, 2012. How weird you would ask us today. I am happy I found them as I want to learn how to applique. Thank you for writing them.

wow! moon and stars aligned!

When making Scrappy HST project, I make the HST first randomly pairing squares. I make around 10 to 20 extra HST so I had extras for easy variety in placement. Extra HST will be used for a pillow cover or table runners to bring the colors around the room. Makes these second projects quick to whip together!

Aside from being terribly enabled by YOU, I've picked up a book called Anthology. It's a book showing 182 quilt blocks (4 1/2 x 5 1/2 with which to make a quilt. What a wonderful breather between Home is, Sewcialites, Gramma's Kitchen, etc. Thanks as usual Pat. I still think you've cloned yourself in order to get all the stuff done that you do! Hugs from south central Canada.

I like how you auditioned the pieces...it really makes the process easier. First step is NOT to over agonize over color/pattern!

[@bratmamma]

Love how you give tips about your methods, even on simple things. I pick up new ways of process from you all of the time, even though I’ve been quilting over 40 years❤️😁

[@PatSloan]

thank you!

Once again, so, so informative! Love your channel!

Today we are traveling to the Dr for my honey. The best part of the day will be stopping at a quilt shop. Also I'm mailing some pillowcases to a cancer patient. Have a great day.

[@janetswarthout1915]

Thank you for your info on scrappy placement. ‘Randomness’ definitely causes overthinking for me! Lol.

[@elainekelley6358]

great tip - thanks for scrappy look tips

[@SimplyDelilah]

I just love valentine fabric...I love the pinks and reds and HST's! trying to place the fabrics puts me in a parlayzing state!

[@jillvalko675]

Pat, you should look at EvaPaige Quilt Designs. Beth has a system of sewing HST in an accordion to create never duplicated scrappy HSTs. Its really fun! It's how I'm making my heart.

[@marlahanks7278]

Oh gosh! I just watched that. Game changer, huh???

[@jillvalko675]

@@marlahanks7278 Really fun with a charm pack.

That book was fabulous. Thank you for highlighting it. Going to add it to my Amazon Wishlist.

[@dorothylawson256]

I love looking at new books. Beside your books I love Kim Dehl. I adapted one of her wall hanging patterns to be round to be on my round table. I made your first large quilt and love it.

[@lindacampbell70]

Love that book, thank you for sharing this!

Good morning Pat.

[@brendafrye5875]

Would you bd willing to discuss more about your c cutting machine . I am having problems with cutting because of arthritic hands and considering purchasing a scan and cut but know very little about it.

Good morning everyone 😊 from a very cold Edmonton Alberta

[@cheryl8280]

Freda Mirzayans And a good afternoon to you from a equally cold Manitoba. With windchill, I think we're down to -34C tonight. (That's -31F for you non-Canadians out there) Stay warm and quilt your hearts out!

[@FredaM]

Hello Cheryl Taylor! You beat us. It’s -24 here -27 with wind chill.

[@cheryl8280]

@@FredaM Freda, when it's this darned cold, a couple of degrees doesn't make a whole lot of difference. I didn't even see the squirrels or rabbits out today. Poor critters.

[@thatanimegamer3384]

I loved the book review. Saw at least three I would love to make.

[@kathrynmcclymond9551]

How can I choose just 1 book?! I love them all! I just splurged on Quiltfolk Life vol. 1 - beautiful photos, great inspiration. But now you’re making me think I need to buy Wendy’s book and all of yours. . .

[@donnarichey144]

I was told by another quilter its not good to press all seams open that they can come apart in time.

[@JulsErazo]

Good morning from Guatemala!

[@paulalabonte7346]

I am thinking of making the larger heart in Caribbean blue and purples. This will go up on a cream wall. Should I consider a solid color for the background instead of a white or cream?

[@phyllisshipman4826]

I received my pattern for stomping ground and Morrison Park layer cake yesterday in the mail so lm starting my elephant quilt. [e-mail] form Alabama

[@jenelks1495]

@PaulaLabonte Oooh, that sounds lovely! I hope you will share in the Facebook group

[@judysoedt916]

Interesting book.

[@janejarvis6725]

Lol wish I had waited to see this demo for the large heart.

[@sheilafruge3885]

I LOVE the background fabric you’re using for your heart. Was that a random purchase or do you keep certain solid colors on hand all of the time?

[@sharonolive7506]

Too cute
