You say you’re pleased with your quilt..oh my dear..l think you should be over the proverbial moon..another phenom result …🇨🇦

[@pooie0116]

OMG, I'm so in love with this quilt. 🥰 I really appreciate that you share so much of your processes and techniques. My own sewing skills have vastly improved since I discovered your channel. Thank you so much for everything you do! ❤❤❤

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I'm so glad!

[@vickyadams3007]

Too,BEAUTIFUL for the back...That would of been a GREAT Front of a quilt.

[@livingweirdestherc6644]

Your quilt is beautiful

[@alexandra-zaza-burns]

The quilt is fabulous, both the front and back look amazing. I love how you do after quilts to use up leftover fabrics or in this case to make your backing fit.

[@barbaratrammell3138]

Started making after quilts....you inspire me.

[@vonneywright4028]

Amazing Karen, a masterpiece on both sides, and to finish it with so much else going on, inspirational. Thank you for sharing this idea, I try to incorporate scraps into the backs of my quilts too. Vx

[@annm8680]

Your after quilt videos are my favorite. I like for my backs to be almost as interesting as the front. I’ve even put two vintage unfinished tops together to make a reversible quilt.

[@sueharber2496]

Beautiful - just BEAUTIFUL - front and back -no other words 💝

[@TracyGram]

I am always inspired by your work. Your quilt is beautiful and all your tips and tricks are very helpful. You look a bit tired. I hope you get a nice rest while you are on vacation.

[@karenwhitley7211]

Turned our beautiful 😍

[@ann-mariejensen2623]

Don’t know how I missed this one, but I learned not to be too lazy with the after quilt process. Your results are beautiful, front and back.

[@kathleendanley8508]

I absolutely love this video, thank you for the encouragement to try different things! I recently did my first back with a strip down the middle but I love, love love this!

[@lauraclockadale438]

You. Rock.

[@pantsmclee]

Karen, you’re such an incredible artist - that improvised after-quilt is so stunning that I would say this quilt has no “back”!

[@M-hc9xm]

Absolutely beautiful! I am partial to scrap quilts because I want to keep my stash under control. After quilts are the answer and couldn't be more stunning. How fun for the person using it to be able to flip it and have a whole other visual experience!

[@susanarellano2364]

Enjoy!!,

[@gamadebdegamadebde]

It was just a few years ago that the local long armers near me all said we could not have after quilts because they were too difficult to needle thru that many layers, so disappointing. So I gave up. Then thanks to you I decided to ask my new long arm quilter if she could do it. She said "of course, this is not hand quilting, these machines are made for that". I was so excited. If not for you Karen I would never have asked. A delayed joy of after quilts has been awakened. Thank you.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Excellent ✋

[@lisastroble4743]

I am absolutely amazed by this beautiful work of art! Love your videos. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us! Always inspiring .❤

[@anniejackson8604]

Beautiful quilt, enjoyed video

[@andreawalker2535]

Your backing could be a stand alone quilt! Love the artistry of the entire project! You are quite an accomplished quilter and instructor, and entertainer! Thank you, Karen!

[@tiffanycollier54]

Love your after quilt! It turned out great, my (young adult) kids love the pieces backing idea! I've not been at this that long, but most of my quilts have "after quilts!" Thank you for your inspiration! Enjoy your trip!

[@CheeseheadQuilter]

The first time I made a back using up pieces left over from the front, my friends sort of sniffed like I was a cheapskate. I’m so happy to see you legitimizing this creative but thrifty habit.

[@torirochleau-rice8037]

Your friends would hate me. Every quilt I make is scrappy! And I use cool scraps everywhere. Scrap-busting is also earth friendly.

[@torirochleau-rice8037]

I appreciate how you tell us what you’re thinking while you work. I always learn something! Beautiful quilt and after quilt.

[@karenbooth7741]

Gorgeous!!!!

[@diane3363]

Wonderful!

[@chrislittebrant5235]

Wow, Karen, It’s Turned Out Beautifully. I Love Your Quilt, all the Memories wrapped up together. ❤️❤️❤️ Have a wonderful weekend, 🥰 Chris aka Chris-Raleigh NC

Oh Karen! This quilt is so visually exciting in the best way. Thank you for sharing this journey. My eyes and my soul are blessed.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

[@hey_virginia]

[@julieenslow5915]

This one is drop dead gorgeous. Not that that is unusual for you! You are a true inspiration for many - including me - thank you for that!

[@ravensmokedancer8242]

That turned out beautiful!!!!!! I also LOVE the afterquilt!!!

[@m53goldsmith]

The afterquilt could have been a quilt top all on its own. It's as though you made 2 quilts (or maybe a reversible). Such a lot of work, but so worth it for the beautiful result. You go, girl! Hugs from Derbyshire, UK

[@happynanna4749]

That, my dear lady, is absolutely gorgeous!!! Wow!!🎉

[@judyspross6551]

Thank you your an inspiration ❤️

[@bethkoch11]

In my humble opinion, your quilt is a masterpiece, both front and back. I'm so inspired!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

🤗🤗🤗

[@HRHDMKYT]

Karen, your quilt is absolutely stunning! I love these colours, and the judicious use of solids in strategic locations really show off all of your piecing work. I’ve not been a fan of ‘sampler’ quilts before, but your modern layout and fabulous afterquilt has me doing a 180 on that opinion. Congratulations on your finish!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you

[@cjordan919]

Masterful!

[@amybiblewski6038]

Such a beautiful quilt. Love your After Quilt almost as much as the main quilt... but OH so much work. I am exhausted just thinking about making an After Quilt - by the time the top is finished I'm ready to move on. Great job!

[@rebeccafoster-faith6647]

it's amazing - the more I do scrappy backs. the more I LIKE scrappy backs. they are just more interesting.

[@nitababcock3977]

It feels so good to finish a quilt & yours was awesome!

[@lynnemartin2291]

Gorgeous, fabulous, a true beauty. So much fantastic dedication to finish this piece of art. I love it and I am determined to create a quilt - albeit not on your level of expertise- however this video is so inspiring. 🤗🤗🤗

[@kathfinch9453]

Congrats on a beautiful quilt, Karen! I hope you have a memorable trip!

[@maryannecadd796]

Phew! I'm exhausted just watching you. JOB WELL DONE!!!!! You should be so proud. I agree with many other comments that this is a true masterpiece. Thanks for sharing your journey - it is truly inspiring. :)

[@gennesamann4323]

The quilt is gorgeous!!! And I love your new hair do! Very flattering!

[@karenvanraden9912]

I love this Karen. I so want to start using my leftovers in my quilt backs. I think it gives them so much great character.

[@denisev.1217]

Wow just watching you organize those scraps is amazing! You’ve made a whole extra quilt for that beautiful back!

[@michellecornum5856]

I love the idea of the Afterquilt. Brilliant!

[@missruthguest]

Really enjoyed watching the process for your "after quilt". Pieced backing videos are often neglected and more and more I'm wanting a pieced back or after quilt so thank you and more please as your instructions and guidance are much appreciated. Also more information about your labels and your process please. Thanks

[@susanbaker8023]

I love the way you process the after quilt. Beautiful, enjoy your trip. Can't wait for what you come up with next.

[@gailquast615]

You are so incredibly creative! Thanks for sharing your masterpiece!

[@annekent7350]

Wow Karen, I do admire your patience! And the back looks just as wonderful as the front! Such an inspiration!

[@winnepeterson7740]

I also love that owl fabric by Tula Pink. So much so that I bought several yards of it, thought about it for a few days, and went back and bought a few more. At present, I'm still at the gloat-over-it stage. 😄

[@bingealicious5387]

😂🎉❤

[@ruthannpickett6150]

Well done! That is a beautiful quilt with good memories for the making of it. I hope you have a fab time in the Netherlands!

[@kimzsewing3917]

Omg Karen you are phenomenal when it comes to getting things done 😮 I get so sew inspired by you thank you again for your videos.

[@debabrams8438]

Hello. Love the quilt. All the colors. It's so beautiful. Have a safe trip.

[@cathybausch7502]

I love all of it. The back is also a work of art!!

[@karenroth5146]

wow...that was a huge job you did....I love the quilt....great job!

[@catherineruegsegger9954]

Hi Karen! Because of your wonderful suggestions of doing an after quilt back, I have created my last few quilt backs with my leftover fabrics! It has been so much fun seeing family and friends reactions to the BACKS of my quilts! 💟Thank you for so many wonderful tips, tricks and strategies to create the quilts I LOVE making for others! Take care! Catherine

[@grammysharon66]

Love the color combinations and your after quilt!! It turned out beautifully. I need to try this because my Mt Scrapmore is getting huge. I have cut my scraps into 2 1/2, 5 and 10” pieces. Thank you for sharing your tips with us. I have been quilting for 33 years but still learn so much from you. 👍🥰

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

👍

[@lucied7291]

Love the pieced back. I've done this with several quilts and to me it's like I am the creator of a jigsaw puzzle 😃

[@lindakahooilihala7293]

that is so beautiful. i hope to quilt this beautifully one day. ty for the share. i love it

[@gwynwellliver4489]

Karen, your quilt is fabulous!! Thanks for taking us on the journey with you. I love making pieced backs!

[@beateoberdanner9040]

It turns out so wonderful. Congratulations to this journey with the perfect finish. You can be very proud 👏👏👏 Thank you for sharing your work and ideas!

[@marilynjw1971]

Gosh! I like the back as much as the front! Great advice. Thanks for all the videos!

[@yvethemetriccrafter688]

Your quilt is stunning , that colour combination is one of my favourites I love how the colours act with eachother.

[@malissalagios132]

You make this look so damn easy😅😅😅

[@lynnl6101]

Great video. Thank you. I love how you get right to the point without a lot of chit chat. Fabulous quilt and backing.

[@lisam8756]

Congratulations Karen! Your quilt is epic and AMAZING and so inspiring. Yes theese quilts take alot of time ,energy and WORK ,but it's all totally worth it. Look what you made!! Love the color combination and that LAYOUT, WOW. You make me proud to be a quilter, thanks.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

🤗🤗🤗

[@beckypetersen2680]

Excellent job! That afterquilt was amazing - We received some quilts here in Poland for Ukraine - and I saw at least one that had one of your afterquilts on the back side - I'm sure that person was inspired by your ideas.

[@Noreenlee1]

I recently made a much less complicated backing and am delighted with how, by just adding a few leftover blocks to the back, it, too, became a work of art. Great video.

[@fayeglin835]

Love, love, love your chosen colours, what a beautiful quilt Karen, you are an inspiring quilter who shares so much knowledge. What is not to love about this beauty

[@sueduquemin7119]

I love this Quilt Karen thank you .

[@sharonstevens2972]

Karen, you look especially good wearing the teal colored shirt.

[@jzama-bl5sx]

I'm typically a silent subscriber but I absolutely loved this video. I always have such a hard time with backing/after quilts, but this video gave me so many ideas and inspiration. Karen, I enjoyed watching your process and I can't decide which side of the quilt I like better. They are both beautiful ❤Thank you for sharing your process, I learned so much.

[@Ucongold]

Months later I am getting to enjoy this finish. As jzama said, there are so many ideas percolating, and it's all due to this informative, creative and visual journey. It's like a mini workshop!

[@dorothywarren426]

Your quilt is just as beautiful on the back as it is on the front! I started the 100 blocks in a 100 days, but I had to put it on hold. I will take it back up soon. I love your channel!

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

I sew so slowly. This boggles my brain, and I love it!

[@gailgoldade547]

The quilt is wonderful and you look amazing!

[@TheHawkeyeQuilter]

Bravo! This may be my favorite of your quilts. And I love the symmetry of your quilt back scraps. I'm off to watch your 100 days playlist!

[@deborahcolman3035]

It’s beautiful Karen! All your hard work and time has been more than worthwhile. 💜🧡

[@robertawestbrooks9531]

Thanks so much Karen, you are a blessing to all of the world quilters. Happy quilting to you ❤

[@juliannaburgess9177]

It's BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE how used much of your fabrics, GREAT idea! bc you don't need to think about a new matching color. And really why not be fugal. THANK you for your talents. ENJOY your trip. Save travels.

[@juliedennis8733]

Wow, amazing Karen. I've just finished my 100 blocks and they have been sitting on my table in a pile for two weeks. Watching you make your after quilt has inspired my to take the next step. Thankyou. I really love your colours. I look forward to your videos and your really keep my momentum going. Also love all of your interviews.

[@pamelacasey1699]

Thank you so much for sharing your process of the after quilt backing! So many steps you shared about placement of the blocks and pieces in relation to what might be trimmed off was so helpful! This was so inspirational! Your quilt is gorgeous!

[@karenbrunette6314]

Absolutely beautiful

[@Lizbeth120]

Congratulations Karen, it turned out so good! Safe travels, enjoy your Netherlands trip.

[@martialbers3486]

Another simply awesome video, Karen - thank you so much! Your ability to put yourself and your instructions across to all of us is so easy and seamless. I just feel as if I'm watching my lifelong friend Karen showing me what her latest project has been and how she's gone about completing it and as we "talk" she's giving me encouragement and ideas about how I can complete my creation. I just guess I'm trying to say that your videos and chats are so refreshing and fun and I've learned so much along the way. I particularly enjoyed participating in the sewing room cleanout challenge at the beginning of the year and now you've given so many cool ideas for all of the scraps acquired during a project. I hope it's okay with you that I consider you a friend of mine!

[@CayenneRidgeQuilts]

Your quilt is gorgeous! I really love that color combination as well. Makes me want to dig through my own stash of Tula Pink fabric and scraps :). Thank you for sharing your process for the after quilt.

[@DS-ky9dl]

I love how all parts of this quilt work together...the prints and colors are great. And I also love how you explain setting up the back. Great job!

[@martirichards1424]

What a beautiful quilt both front and back. I love how methodical you are and how resourceful. I, too, have started doing after quilts. It seems less wasteful, saves money, and keeps my mount scrapmore at a doable amount. Thanks you for sharing all of your time and talents with us Karen. I want you to know how much I appreciate you. 😊

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you so much!

[@davidhatfield5714]

I have made this comment before..you are very good at this..I love your tone, it makes me want to listen and watch! Our quilting style is very different but I don’t care..always interesting and helpful. Safe travel and have fun🙂(KH)

Wonderful backing and fabulous quilt. I loved how it came together. I think I would have confused myself over and over. You amaze me.

[@roxysherburne9027]

Beautiful! I just love both the front and the backing! I sometimes struggle with making scrappy backings and you have given me great ideas for future backings. Thank you so much, Karen!

[@the_bevinwilliams]

Beautiful quilt, Karen! I love seeing the scrap process! It is so fun to just sew and create freely.

Amazing back! And I am so impressed with the front too!

[@sheelaghhalstead4549]

I absolutely love the lime and purple combination.

[@hey_virginia]

This process video and your most recent scraps video have been SO HELPFUL!!! even just the tip you give here about looking at smaller scraps first when scheming an afterquilt has already made a difference in my weekend quilt planning. Thank you Karen, you're a gem! 💎
