And I put hearts in the corners

I have a cat "OF SUBSTANCE ". Her name is Snicker. Thank you for teaching your techniques! I just found you and I will follow you because I have wanted to learn these techniques since the 1980's.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@debbiecroal4534]

Hi Nancy, I have never been more excited about quilting. I just finished binding my 3rd quilt and I'm reading patterns left and right!!! I have my next quilt under my needle and I cut out the pieces following your instructions. This is my first quilt that I've needed to cut out, instead of using precuts. All went well!! Thank you so very, very much. I look forward to a quilt as you go.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Wonderful!

[@karlalibby7985]

Thank you so much. I enjoyed learning about “quilt as you go”. Karla from Iowa!

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

You are so welcome!

[@lindatower6437]

Thank you. I often do piano key borders, but I never thought to miter. Beautiful!

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gailrichardson7107]

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Wonderful!

[@norma6743]

Thanks for the tutorial and the quilt is very beautiful. Love the log cabin blocks and borders, color scheme is on point. Even the back is great. 😊

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Thank you so much!

[@dianebrougham8494]

Love your mitered corner.

[@asiahsheik2105]

Awesomeness at its best

[@wilycat5290]

I've had that "stiffer" question on my mind for awhile. Thank you ☺️

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Hi Willy - actually I just recently finished and washed the quilt - no additional stiffness :)

[@vickiserre9457]

Nancy, you just answered a question I have had. I’m excited to thy this. I also loved the extra fabric color. 😻

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Have fun!

[@djeoutdoors]

That is so cool 😎 Thanks a bunch ❤

[@tammiemitchell-vx5dv]

I’ve done coping strips. I just didn’t know there was a term for it. My blocks are always not the same size. Maybe just a bit shy, but I’m a stickler for same size blocks 😂

[@lavernejohnson9166]

Great info-Thanks!

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@duckymeejs]

Hi Nancy, I love the mitered corner on the piano key border. It looks very sofisticated! ❤ Watching the rerun from the Southern Gulf Coast of Texas! 🤠

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Thanks so much

[@judithmancini4317]

I would like to purchase/download your booklet, Easy Sashing - booklet shown on this video, Piano Key Border. I searched on your Facebook page and your website but could not find it. Is it still available. I saved this video so I can go back and watch later. I started a quilt as you go log cabin quilt and I never did this method so I need this booklet! Thank you.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Hi Judith, the Easy Sashings booklet has the instructions for the other stitch and flip quilt shown on the cover and the directions for the Easy Sashings. I do not have a book for the log cabin or the borders, those are just on video - sorry.

[@wallyselig1913]

How many sets of pre cut squares would you need to do a king quilt + piano key border?

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Depending on how big you want your finished quilt and borders. The blocks finish like 12 so 8 by 8 could be a good size to plan on :)

[@jacquelineblack5801]

What about using the background color as the sashing so all your points are not lost?

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Sounds like a plan :)

[@bettygresham4755]

How do i get that book i do not see anything in lenghth

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Hi Betty, all my books are on my website www.QuiltingWithNancy.com but this doesn't have a book, but there are the other books I spoke about for the Easy Sashings Technique.

He is cute

[@pollyrees826]

What is power cut

[@jhwilliams6550]

Check out her earlier videos she explains and demonstrates it very well. To me it’s like learning to use your ruler like a strip cutting ruler and not having to buy another one. You start out at the widest one you can cut depending on the size of your ruler and you work your way down. Example is I have a 15” ruler so I can cut 6 (2.5”)strips (15; 12.5; 10; 7.5; 5; 2.5) Depending on how comfortable you are you can cut several layers at a time.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Great explanation - that's for helping out :)

[@lisagordon6355]

Kitty has big bones is all

[@dalebedard8910]

He is not ..FAT He is just ..FLUFFY

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

He is and I love him!!

[@donnahinch1627]

I have a cat that’s 18 lbs and he is not fat just a big cat

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Just big - yep, that's what I say :)
