My English Paper Pieced Quilt Top is FINISHED! The papers are COMING OUT!

I have been looking forward to this task for SO LONG! Taking out the papers I so laboriously stitched over the last couple of years was great fun, part of the fun was seeing all the papers I cut from The Beans Books I used to make the templates. Before anyone wonders why I chose the potentially collectors books, please know that I only used really damaged books from the charity shop that were destined for landfill. Recycling them like this has to be a very creative reuse I'm sure you'll agree!
I have narrowed down my choice of backing fabric too and will order it soon. Then I'll decide on wadding and stitching. So there will be many more videos about this quilt!
But I am going to miss the hand stitching of the hexagons and so I feel like I might design a new quilt to take the place of this one on my design board!
EDITED TO ADD!!
I am very bad at MATHS! always have been, so when I told you the number of hexagons I don't know where I got that number from?
Here are my stats
there are 50 rows of hexies, one row has 29 and the other has 28 hexagons.
So add 28 to 29 (57) and multiply by 25 (hall of 50) and the total should be
1425
not whatever I said.
I'm really sorry folks!
I thought there were a lot more that 753!!!!!

I got the maths wrong as I so often do - I calculated that there are really 1425 hexagons (or so) and not whatever I said at the end. Well done to everyone who paused the video and counted them! wow! I thought there were a lot more! Sorry guys - never trust my maths - ever! xxx

Oh Kate! I was only joking 😂😂 I'm so pleased you get to cuddle up with moms quilt, I'd be so disappointed if I made a beautiful quilt for someone and they didn't want to use it because it's too lovely and kept it in a draw, they need to be loved on the bed 💖😊

For Agnes to have this quilt, which her Grandmother's hands have lovingly touched, is a great treasure for years to come. To think Grandmother's fingers have been over every inch. Grandmother's eyes seeing the pattern unfold, her thoughts when making the quilt; everything is a special gift.

[@jillipepper5353]

My grandmother and great grandmother plus her sister quilted me a quilt they put away till I married I lived with my husband for 4 years before we finally tied the knot and Nan would not give me the quilt until the wedding.🤣😂🤣. I used the quilt, I didn’t let it just sit away somewhere as it had languished for about 12 years already. It’s now falling apart, beyond repairing , holes and just threadbare but it was loved and felt like a hug from these very loved and important women in my life. 🥰🙋🏼‍♀️

[@judithfairchild8620]

Oh yes!!! My grands take their quilts i made everywhere till momma said enough.

[@Pickles-gu6dz]

It truly is a treasure. My grandfather gave me a quilt my grandmother had started and all the loose patches after she passed. I was working to finish the quilt but lost everything when my home was burglarized 10 years ago. The burglar also took my hard drives and hundreds of $ worth of drawing and painting supplies... But it's loosing her quilt that still makes my heart ache.

[@Pickles-gu6dz]

@@jillipepper5353 that's so beautiful! I would try to sew it between a new quilt & it's backing, or make a throw pillow (or something similar) and use it as the filling just to keep the original quilt around for as long as possible.

Kate I enjoyed this video as I do all of them, but this one in particular, tugged at my heart. I am a quilter but even if I wasn't, I would realize how special this quilt is. When a quilter gifts a bed quilt, especially one that they hand stitched, they are giving more than a collection of fabric sewn into a blanket. Every quilt has a story to tell and a piece of the maker goes with it. It is the most beautiful feeling to experience. Agnes will be enchanted to sleep and dream under the colours of her grandmother's love. From your hands to her heart. Memories never forgotten. ❤️

What a labor of love and joy this is. I thoroughly enjoyed watching all of the videos about Agnes’ quilt and I look forward to continuing this journey with you. I spent a fun afternoon with my 96 year old mother today. I took my iPad with me and played one of the videos about Norma. Then I read your book about Norma to my mother. Her vision is really bad and she can’t see to stitch anymore so I thought this would be something enjoyable and different for her. She really did enjoy seeing the video and the reading of Norma’s story. Thank you so much for sharing your life with all of us.

[@suzannewastie8479]

I stumbled upon your channel while looking for ideas for my first ever quilt project and I'm delighted that I did. I'm 74 years of age and have enjoyed a few needle crafts over the last 20 odd years since I retired from what was a very frenetic and stressful career in advertising. I have always been a lover of quilts and have scoured the county antique stores in and around the Southern and Shenandoah Valley regions of Virginia in the USA for many years. I was particularly interested in large entirely handmade ones, preferably in feminine small-piece pastel colours. And to my absolute delight, I came across such a one in a very small town named Floyd, VA. My husband, very perceptively guessing I was going to 'cry me a river' if I didn't snap it up, paid the most ridiculous price for it. I had two totally independent people advise me that it was a very popular design in the mid-1800's so I'm pretty proud of my find. And it's all mine now, newly cleaned and lovingly admired by many visitors to my home on the Gold Coast in Qld. Australia. Anyway it kick-started my desire to have a go at quilt-making. For the last few months I've been on-line shopping for fabrics and whilst there's an absolute plethora of pretty soft pastel florals and backgrounds that I've been collecting along the way, I have to say that in stark contrast to these, I've fallen heavily for Kaffe Fassett designs along with others of his ilk. I also love Morrison designs and even some of the boutique Ozzie designers who are rising to the fore now. So, Kate, I just wanted to introduce myself and say just how much I absolutely love to watch you, and sometimes Anna too, just being your beautiful self in your colourful, cat-friendly and homely home. I'm made to feel very welcome and happy just watching you "do your particular thing" and nattering away, just like 50-odd years ago back in dear old England. Be happy and well. Love, Suzie Wastie xxx

[@hwelch2]

It's wonderful to think how many hours Agnes will spend looking at each fabric pattern and choosing her favourites...such a beautiful gift. 😊 The quilt is so fluid and tranquil from a distance but such glorious, colourful chaos up close...magic! I'm terrible at maths, one of the reasons why I thought quilting could be a nightmare for me. Half way through the video I thought that quilt top was missing something...a cat. I guess the sunny garden was a priority; my money for the first arrival would have been on cat Rita. 😄 It's all fun and games until someone loses traction but that was a stellar recovery. Thanks for the video Kate, a lovely to way to spend some time. 😊🇨🇦🌸

Kate , It’s so beautiful looked like a river of colour laying across your table, I have watched you make this quilt from the beginning and Agnes is a very lucky little girl to be able to swim under this while she floats along in her dreams.

Oh, Kate, I wish I could have those threads for my artwork! By the way, I have finished the piecing of my English paper pieced quilt for my daughter, and have chosen the way to do the edge (I made a border of "facing octagons" and will sew them along to be the very edge of the quilt). I took out the papers as I went, but don't worry, there's no chance that any of the stitching is going to be pulled or weakened. I took your teaching seriously and was super careful and especially at any corner that met another corner! So we will be likely quilting together from our different countries. I can't thank you enough for the kind instruction you provided to all of us so we could enjoy this wonderful British skill.

Truly Kate, I just don’t know if my glueing hexies or your sew basting them makes a scrap of difference. I’m undoing mine now, some glue is really stuck, others lift out beautifully. Guess I got too generous with my glue pen. I use 80/20 wadding for children, very washable and warm, BUT, I’m told bamboo is best, bit more expensive. Each to their own eh? Looking super, you must be pleased. I’ve started something a bit different too, Tula Pinks lovely rainbow colours called “ Tulas Bloomers”. So much easier than my Millefiori with tiny triangles, hexies and diamonds! Good luck my friend

[@molamola7093]

If you run e.g. a knitting needle, chopstick or similar pointy thing along the seam allowance this will release the glue and enable you to take the papers out easily without distorting the fabric. If it is really stuck a hit with a bit of steam will also soften the glue. I glue baste and this is what I do.

But there is just something so soothing and wonderful about your calm, slow manner. Just as in the two years it has taken to make Agnes’ quilt, with even more months yet to go, haste is not in your nature!! With that i can so identify. You have so many different types of projects…i mostly just knit or cross-stitch. But I’m no longer in a race, even with myself, to finish a project! Thank you for visiting in my home each time you do. I LOVE having you here!❤️❤️

I love this quilt! Similar somewhat to the yo-yo quilt I’m making. I guessed about 1017 because so far that’s the amount of yo-yo’s I have. I’m in the process of sewing them together. Thanks for letting me watch. I love your videos!

I know a wonderful quilter friend who also uses this technique to make quilts. I just love it. She did help me get started, but my garden always calls me and I never seem to get the time to devote to the learning. Gorgeous.

I guessed 850 after you commented about the charm packs. I love this quilt and it's absolutely the best hexagon quilt I have ever seen. I will miss seeing it on the wall but will be excited to see what you choose for your next project. Agnes will certainly love her own special quilt and appreciate all the loving work you put into it. I saw an amazing piece at Quilt National in Houston in 1979 by Grace Snyder, a hexagon quilt with pieces no larger than a dime, around 10,000 pieces--you can find it on the internet, truly a Herculean task.

Absolutely gorgeous quilt! It will be a treasure in your family for years! Start another for a grandchild to come?

The colors on this quilt are just stunning. I, like you, will miss having it as your backdrop. It has been fun watching its progress. Lucky Agnes.

I will have to come up with something to replace it! xxx
