Very enjoyable seeing all the different fabrics with the same patterns. It’s amazing to see how much different the quilts look. She did a great job showing them off. Gives us lots of ideas with the layer cakes we might have at home. Thank you for all of the show and tell. ❤

[@jennamckenzie647]

I love bloopers 😂 Im putting Confetti Cake on my to do list👍

[@chrisclark9862]

Bloopers are the best! Thanks for the chuckle. I think I like the brick pattern best!

[@ettakaynickel6148]

Loved seeing the layer cake quilts. Like your patterns.

[@denisegomez755]

I love your idea of boxing one project for each month and draw what’s next. I have so many projects I want to get to, but then get overwhelmed as to which to do next. When I first started, I would not allow myself to buy any fabric or pattern until the one I was working on was done and out of here. Everyone would say “oh no, I have several I’m working on…”. If I did that, I would get nothing done!😬. Thanks for the tip. I also love your patterns.❤

[@quiltgram3056]

Me too. I work on one quilt at a time. Although I’m OK with the hand sewing part of the binding as I’m starting my next quilt. I’ve tried working on more than one years ago which ended up with me having a boatload of unfinished quilts.

[@cherylgates7848]

Loved seeing all the quilts, I had to go order the patterns, thanks for the inspiration, more to add to my to do list, lol.

[@thequiltedforest]

Cheryl, I just mailed your order. Happy Quilting!

[@annelisbethstavland6762]

[@nancyweakley2070]

I love love your quilts, you have made some beautiful quilts. I still do not know on quilting, what is yawls term one layer cake two layer cakes what do you mean layer cakes? Remember I am a beginner I’m sorry I’ve got tons of questions and I have been doing a lot of reading up on making a quilt. I needed this time to understand more about when y’all are saying one layer cake. Thank You!!

[@thequiltedforest]

A layer cake is a stack of 40-42 pieces of 10 inch squares of fabric. Pre cut layer cakes from fabric companies will have all the fabrics in a certain line of fabric so that it all matches. Some people also like to make their own layer cakes with fabric they already own or plan on purchasing

[@JudithSlomowitzPolley]

I love watching your show do you prewash your fabrics

[@thequiltedforest]

I do not

[@soshesews9117]

Thank you! I loved all the quilts and patterns but I think the Cake Box pattern is my favorite. The different fabrics and colors make the pattern attractive to me. How do I get the pattern for my charity quilt group?

[@thequiltedforest]

All of our patterns may be ordered on our website, www.thequiltedforest.com

[@mireadossantos4610]

They're all lovely 😊. What batting do you use for your quilts?

[@thequiltedforest]

Warm and Natural or Warm and White

[@karlabergwalker3332]

Gorgeous quilts!! Are the patterns available as PDFs?

[@thequiltedforest]

No. But they're all available on our website, www.thequiltedforest.com. We put links in the description for each one. Happy Quilting!

[@nancyweakley2070]

Hello, I am trying to learn all I can about making a quilt before I start making one. You have some Beautiful quilts. I have a question, you talk about Layer Cakes and then one quilt you were showing you said to do 10 x 10“ have 40 or 42 squares am I correct or not? Do you have a website that I can Learn a little bit more on making a quilt?? It’s a lot to know about Quilts. Thank You

[@thequiltedforest]

Hello Nancy. A layer cake is Moda's name for a stack of 40-42 10 inch squares of fabric. These stacks, or layer cakes, often include all the fabrics in a line of fabric. Sometimes I'll make my own "layer cake" of 10 inch squares with fabric that I already have based on the colors I want to use. As far as learning more about quilting, my KZbin channel has over 160 videos, most of which are sharing tutorials of various types of projects. And we're adding new videos on a regular basis. Be sure to check out the "Playlists" section of our channel where you can see all the different kinds of projects we have. And lastly, if you haven't already, I invite you to subscribe to our channel so you won't miss any of our content. Happy Quilting!

[@nancyweakley2070]

@@thequiltedforest Thank you so much, your reply helped me out a lot. 🥰

[@annhedington41]

I didn't join the monthly challenge, but I have a question about it. Since I have varying amounts of time during the year (summer = outside work), if I don't finish a project during the month, do I pack it up, or keep plugging on it? (I have over a dozen projects kitted up !)

[@thequiltedforest]

It's all up to you

[@anitaznoy2807]

Do you do all this sewing and quilting or do you have help

[@thequiltedforest]

For the projects of the month I do all the sewing and quilting. I have employees who also help with a lot of the projects you see hanging in the backgrounds of the videos.
