WOW! That is absolutely stunning! I'm only about 1.5 years into learning to quilt, maybe an intermediate beginner, but I can appreciate all the hard work you two put into that quilt. You two have certainly inspired me to push myself further with each project I tackle!❤

[@socalgingerjohnson]

I may have teared up 😢when your parents rolled out your beautiful quilt!!! I am so grateful you shared the story behind this adventure. You are both amazing. Thank you for inspiring so many❤

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you so much

[@JenniferHenberger]

I did too! I am in tears with this video!

[@mompears]

Me too! Just lovely!

[@shanegeis2696]

Beautiful quilt, excellent job. How wonderful your parents got to join in on your success! Do you think a beginner could make this quilt? I love all you teach through your videos, thank you ❤

[@socalgingerjohnson]

@@shanegeis2696 Yes! You will learn so much as a beginner while accomplishing each block. The sew-a-long makes the 100 day challenge blocks achievable. So many quilters will be there to help. Instagram will be key!

[@jaclynramsier5271]

I LOVE seeing you standing at your longarm in thinking mode. People don't realize the amount of time we log just staring, maybe sketching, debating internally..... I really saw myself in that clip and SO glad it made the cut!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

So much time 🤪

[@marybeth4002]

wow! Wow!! WOW!!! What an incredible quilt with a great background story. I am nowhere near this skill level (or patience) but I can most certainly appreciate the time, skill and dedication in creating the pattern and quilt itself. The fabric choice is spectacular with a beautiful flow of color and pattern. Great photos, including your parents unrolling the quilt - priceless. ❤

[@gwynwellliver4489]

Took the words right out of my mouth!

[@dorothydishman4664]

I actually might make this one.....one block at a time is like eating an elephant , one bite at a time. Looking forward to it.

[@joycekaminski1943]

Oh My Goodness Karen, this video brought tears to my eyes. You worked so hard and diligently to get this quilt finished so perfectly and beautiful; I cannot imagine the pressure you felt. It was all worth it because the quilt is spectacular.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

🤗🤗🤗 thank you so much

[@Craftythrifter]

Thanks for a look behind the scenes on how a pattern gets made. Would love to see a video from Angie’s perspective too. You can better appreciate the cost when you realize that there’s a LOT of work involved. Beautiful quilt, great pattern. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@melanietannertaylor0401]

Saw your reveal on YT today, then your video popped up on my YT feed. What a ride !! Beautiful ♥️

[@underthebluesky92]

Thank you for sharing your mistakes, sometimes, I think I’m the only one messing up a block. Beautiful quilt love the roll-out off the deck.

[@lynnarazny8767]

Floating the pieced portion of each block within coping strips to construct 8" blocks was a brilliant idea. Lots of space for delicious quilting as well as delightful to the eye. Bravo Karen and Angie!

[@joyinstitches456]

Yay a new video from you! Not that you don't post, I'm just happy I caught it! You are my favorite quilting neighbor to the north! 😊

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you. It's took a moment to make this one.

[@heidiross8592]

DAMMIT Karen, I had told myself I didn’t need to join in this year, I would just watch and enjoy other stitcher’s efforts. Anyway, WOW! Have ordered the pattern 😂

[@cleementine]

I'm on my way to buy it now.. .. 🙂

[@LpoolDogLover]

Gorgeous! The quilt and the colors are outstanding! Thank you for sharing and letting us know how much work goes into making a quilt pattern.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thanks for watching

[@rhondaschellin8878]

🎉🎉BRAVO!!🎉🎉

[@juliemorrison4348]

Thank you Karen for showing the mammoth task that went into your collaboration with Angie. I love the finished quilt and what a challenge changing the thread for your quilting with each block. I have been studying the pattern and bonus layouts which are absolutely amazing. 💗🇦🇺

[@kathleenmcdonough9436]

My self care will be a new candle near the kitchen shelf and continuing my plan to spend time each day in my sewing room🥰 Enjoy your weekend!

[@turtztube]

Karen, you’ve been through so much personally & mentally in the last couple of years. Congratulations to the happy couple! Your family is very clearly loved & treasured - I am so very glad that they take priority. I laughed at you maniacally finishing Maple & Eucalyptus, saying ‘Don’t drive tired!!’ at the screen. May you find some space for yourself soon.

[@katehenry2718]

Glad the recipients liked it. Interesting concept. Maybe different colors???

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

The participants all had different colour pallets. From Tilda to batiks

[@karenshlemkevich2591]

HOLY WOW! You are AMBITIOUS! That is one heck of a journey.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

The work paid off

[@myrahaws5148]

Wow! Wow!Wow!! I am speechless. Absolutely beautiful.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Wow, thank you!

[@sandybrown2113]

Stunning!

[@MartyLawless-kh2jd]

Wow! I am blown away by that quilt. Truly stunning! I was wondering why I hadn't seen much from you lately. Glad all is well.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you! 😊

[@keertimarathe1948]

A gigantic task indeed !! An inspiration for beginners who get overwhelmed by the thought of creating even a baby blanket quilt !!😂😂

[@e.malloy7530]

WOW! Such a vibrant and beautiful new design - Thanks for sharing the final reveal with us!

[@susanlusk9584]

One of my favorite quilt videos that you have shown us. You and Angie produced a masterpiece. Thank you!

[@vvkelly97]

❤

[@deannas1515]

Oh my gosh! I have to make that!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

👍

[@mariejohns1387]

Karen and Angie….. congrats on the birth of your baby!!! She is absolutely amazing and beautiful!! Job well done ladies!❤️

[@geniereiman1089]

What a great quilt! I love the colors and love it is a sampler. I just get to bored making the same block over and over again.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I do love samplers

[@norahmcphee4928]

Karen and Angie, your stunningly beautiful quilit is absolutely gorgeous and i love how you have used "just" plain fabrics. The colour spectrum is just stunning and it truly is a rainbow of beauty. I have always loved the colours in the rainbow, from colouring in as a child to the big child that i have become (because i still love a colouring in pad and set of pens and pencils). I love going through the colour spectrum, it brightens up the gloomiest of days and this piece of art is just testament to what i see. I love how you have quilted it in the colours of the blocks Karen, i know that this took up so much more time and skill than you were ready for the cruise, but your patience and talent have shone through and brings it alive flower. What better way to learn to quilt new blocks, than following along with this challenge to make the 100 block a day quilt. Thank you flower for sharing with us that couldn't get on the cruise, this stunning work of art and design of art, thank you girls. Crafty hugs from Norah, Glenochil, Scotland

[@candygrubisic]

That was fun hearing about your journey with the making of this quilt and the pattern with Angie and your roles in the process. I do think there's no better name than the one you two came up with and settled on. It's always nice to hear when an accomplished and experienced quilter needs to remake a few blocks just like the rest of us lol. Tends to make us feel better about our own mistakes I'm sure. I swear every time a quilt flows over the rail of a deck it brings out the beauty even more doesn't it?

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Very true. It never gets old

[@quiltybee]

Wow. I teared up and got so emotional when you had the final reveal! A perfectly unique quilt and when I do a modern quilt this will be the first pattern I use!

[@Treaclepuff]

The quilt sure did turn out lovely, didn't it? It's fascinating to learn all the details of the work involved in creating blocks and layouts for a quilt! Thanks for showing that aspect of the making of the quilt!

[@sheilakeating9089]

I got goose bumps when your parents unveiled your beautiful quilt. It is absolutely amazing. Applause to both you and Angie. Thank you for sharing.

[@MarvinNL]

OMGoodness! the amazing amount of work, sweat and tears it took to make this quilt are phenomenal. You did make something together, an absolutely beautiful quilt and hopefully a lovely warm friendship with good memories to last forever!

[@carmenbailey1560]

Beautiful quilt, and surely all good memories of the challenges you mastered. Be proud of yourself and well done. Thanks for sharing. 👍❤️😊

[@donnastjules8157]

It is absolutely gorgeous Karen!

[@dadams512]

I am blown away with this quilt. You two ladies did amazing work on this collaboration. It's spectacular!!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you so much!

[@maggiemichel2370]

Stunner. Bought the pattern. Looking forward to it.

[@harbourcolour]

WOW, Karen! What an absolutely stellar quilt. You and Angie are just amazing. This is very inspiring and I am so tempted to join you for 100 Days 100 Blocks!!!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

If you have the time, it’s a fun project

[@sherriejohnson508]

So beautiful and amazing thank you

[@Rquilter1962]

It was spectacular in person. Got to start the quilt on the cruise.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Looking forward to seeing your final block layout…said while sipping coffee from my coffee sleeve

[@mjbruenderman506]

So. Impressive and gorgeous.

[@amyy0220]

It was a breath taking moment watching the quilt unfurl in the bright sunlight. Many thanks for sharing your incredible work!

[@cc83jc85]

I’m watching this, as I’m resting…I was EXHAUSTED listening how busy that quilt kept you! But you did such an exceptional job of quilting it!

[@helenpeddycord2241]

Your quilt is extraordinary Karen! The patters and colors are cheerful, soothing and happy! Kudos to you and Angie for a Mega job well done!💕🧵

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you so much!

Spectacular!

[@louiseeiffel1014]

So much work, but what an accomplishment! Love the custom quilting.

[@BEVERLYRANDOLPH-lx4qu]

Wow. Just wow. What an undertaking-and what a result! Congratulations, Karen and Angie. Amazing accomplishment.

[@jennystrahley927]

Oh my gosh! So beautiful Karen and Angie! I actually got chills when your parents rolled the quilt off the porch banister! Gorgeous! Karen, you did a spectacular job with your quilting. 🥰

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you so much!

[@mereani]

Oh my goodness! What a ride! And what an amazing quilt and pattern 😍 you both did an incredible job. And Karen, I don't know how you managed to stay on top of this project, the cruise, your youtube channel and there was also a wedding?! I'm thinking about you starting this quilt in January while also uploading everyday for your declutter challenge 😮‍💨 Thank you so much for your hard work Karen 💜

[@maryaria2855]

OH MY!! Thank you for sharing your journey. You should be so proud of yourself and your accomplishments. JUST WOW!

[@MsFitz134]

Wow what a time crunch! The hard work paid off, its absolutely beautiful.

[@nadinedougherty1191]

Thanks for sharing. That is one stunning quilt!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you! 😊

[@coribeckett7400]

Karen, it’s stunning. You and Angie should be super proud. I love the use of the “neutrals” as a foundation for the beautiful rainbow brights as your color story. Lovely.

[@carolynwells1395]

WOW

[@helencowen135]

Stunning quilt - congratulations Karen & Angie

[@judyangle8911]

OK Karen, I love it, love it, love it! I know how to get the pattern. I need the fabric colors to duplicate it. Can’t wait to start.

[@ElinT13]

You two can be really proud of the co-operation and the stunning quilt! Very, very nice!

[@susanmizen9493]

The quilt is more stunning in your video than I could imagine. Funnily I was colouring in the blocks last evening and had decided I couldn’t do any colours I liked more than the ones you chose. So it looks like I had better get the kit too. Thanks to you and Angie for doing this pattern, I can imagine there was a lot more blood, sweat and tears than we saw.

[@lindaprice9242]

Oh my goodness all I can say is wow! So much work on years and Angie's part but my it turned out beautiful.

[@JoanneBerndsen]

Wow ! What a beautiful film ! Thank you ! The hard copy I ordered from Angie arrived all the way from Australia just a few days ago! It's so well thought out ! Very inspiring and motivating ! So looking forward to the sew along. This is a big " out of my comfort zone " step for me. Thank you both and all the behind the scenes folk for all your time and energy ! Happy sewing machine day !

[@dko3623]

Such an amazing achievement for both of you! As a quilt pattern designer and writer myself, I can hardly fathom writing the patterns for 100 blocks and sewing all the samples for them. Congratulations, job well done!

[@henrikhaas6980]

LOVE IT!!!!! Wow!

[@JohnArtEast]

It’s an amazing quilt!!!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

[@jackieheaney8246]

I think I might be out of my quilting depth with this on. I watched your video twice and OMG I don't know if I can. I got all my fabrics together, sorted and filed them. And I am really not sure how to start!

Beautiful quilt 💜

This quilt is so beautiful, thank you both for doing this (and sharing it with all of us).

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

So glad that you came aboard again 🤗🤗🤗

[@lorrainemcdonald7332]

What a beautiful quilt. My skills run to square blocks. But all have been loved by the giftees.

[@Cassandra-..-]

In the middle of watching how this major project played out for you (WOW!), I opened the fridge to get the leftover pasta salad out for lunch. My husband’s old, smelly kimchee container fell out, and while I was thanking my lucky stars that the container stayed intact and only a little liquid spilled, a grocery store container of cubed watermelon and much juice fell out and beaned me on the head! The contents sprayed across my tile kitchen floor and hardwood entryway. So I dug out my new spinny mop bucket and mop, and went to work while you mulled over quilting strategies. I paused, got my lunch, and🎉 all was right with the world as you made it to your cruise with quilt in hand! Also note that midstream, a very long Apple commercial (highlighting the security options for protecting and recovering a stolen laptop in a cute mini-movie) played through while I was mopping and drying, setting a just-under-frenetic pace for my work. All in all, I’m glad we went through this together. My floor is clean! Your quilt is beautiful! I especially like the four block colors you selected and your gorgeous free motion quilting. Cheers to us!
