Quilt made with Darlene Michaud Penny Auction fabric

[@Dranma51]

I can’t believe what you’ve done with those little dogs! Love it!

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

I love these puppy dog quilt squares. I love to watch Darlene too. I get sucked in and I just can’t stop watching.

[@heathercawte]

I love the way you share your creative process with us, and the way you consider your options as you go along - I learn far more from your videos than from the straightforward tutorials other quilters put out!

[@mostlyquilts1386]

That is the nicest comment Heather, thank you so much!!! Happy quilting!

[@jfox49]

Beautiful quilt. Darlene would be proud!!!

[@BelindaHodge]

That quilt is truly adorable and you did a fantastic job putting it together. I appreciate you sharing your work. I wish Darlene posted to Australia!

[@mostlyquilts1386]

Thank you Belinda! I know, if only international shipping were less expensive!

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

Such a darling quilt! That fabric is adorable! Thanks for sharing!

[@yvonneallan1020]

All of my quilts are "wing-it" quilts. I am so delighted to see something from Darlene's cuts....I often wondered about how those cuts turned out!

[@mostlyquilts1386]

“Wing it” quilts are my favorite!

[@stellaunger8568]

I love this quilt and your opinions on how to crate a quilt without a pattern are very informative and interesting for a new quilter! Thank you ❤️😃🌹

[@rickymackin217]

I love the guilt!

[@maryettayu3995]

That turned out really cute!!

[@pattysherwood7091]

You did a beautiful job on this quilt. Nice color choices and nicely sewed together.

[@maryjaneellinger1783]

It turned out so cute!

[@Marialla.]

This quilt ended up reminding me of the Small Stuff quilt, which has been on my mind so much! The way you took tiny images and bordered them until they became sizeable blocks was right in that same tradition.

[@terribishop5313]

Adorable!!

[@sueporter6738]

That was absolutely awesome!

[@mostlyquilts1386]

Thanks so much Sue!

[@queenslanddiva]

I've never made a quilt, but I would love to do one for each of my grandchildren - simple ones! This looks almost doable. Thank you

[@mostlyquilts1386]

So doable! If you wanna make a quilt go for it! Let me know how you like it if you do.

[@rebeccamaccallum9239]

Awesome, like a dot and gingham combo.

Norah,your quilt turned out really cute.

A great finish in the end - well done :)

Thanks Theresa, it was a fun project.

@@mostlyquilts1386 I enjoy watching your channel and Darlene's. I appreciate the step by step instructions, as well as, listening to the creativity that goes into a finished project.

Cute quilt, thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊

Great idea! Thank you for sharing

Thanks so much!

[@tieniedearham6723]

Love your Quilt and all your ideas. Well done 💌

[@tammyking3847]

Really enjoyed this...loved watching the process. I'm a newbie, but tend to get ideas and just "go for it" ... have an overall plan and just GO...I like the idea of making blocks or center and work from there...helpful tips

[@christinesellar3866]

I love this quilt Norah, your choice of fabrics is great and I like the ricrac on some of the blocks. No border and same colour binding makes a great quilt. Cheers from Melbourne (Australia)

[@mostlyquilts1386]

Thanks Christine, this was a fun one!

[@retroredux1]

I love it so much! It came out so cute it is a perfect child's quilt or even an older child who loves dogs

[@helensmith7177]

Great job, that turned out adorable!

[@barbolson8768]

Wow, that's a great looking quilt !

So cute!! Great job. 💕❤️💕

Thanks Marty!

[@debc8402]

WOW Look at you!! Well done it's so cute! love the rickrack! so so cute

[@mostlyquilts1386]

Hey Deb- thanks for watching! This was a fun quilt to make.

[@donnacolegrove4113]

So fun! And material from Darlene. I bought a panel from her that I hope to make into a quilt.

[@mostlyquilts1386]

That’s so cool! She has some great panels. I love to watch her cut them up. Thanks for watching!

[@sguhl4089]

What a cute quilt! This gave me a great idea for a juvenile panel I have. I spray baste my quilts with 505. I spray baste on my sheet covered dining room table in my dining room that has hardwood floors. I never have smelly fumes or sticky messes on the floor. Anyway- I love your quilt! Thank you.

[@mostlyquilts1386]

I’ve never heard of the 505. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for the tip!

[@maryjokruer6127]

I liked all of the choices you made! Very cute!

[@Marialla.]

In this case, binding it with the same blue as the sashing makes good sense because if there were any contrasting color, I think you would lose the visual equality of the sashing on the outside to the sashing between the blocks. It would be a strong distraction instead of a finishing touch.

[@mostlyquilts1386]

I agree. Thanks for watching Marialla!

[@raisavaz]

I agree with this comment.

[@carlahooker3492]

Adorable! Very creative!!

[@matthewflinchum5452]

Thanks Penny! Happy quilting!

[@nerdmom_quilts]

Adorable. I love the way your brain works!

[@mostlyquilts1386]

The brain is so fascinating to me, especially the creative process and how different it is for everybody. Thanks for watching!

[@sherimcgill5139]

This turned out super cute! I like how you talk out your thought process. I maybe would have created a binding using all of the accent fabrics, however, that would have shortened the width of the outer blue sashing. I think you probably made the right decision.

[@mostlyquilts1386]

I love a pieced binding. If I’d thought of it, I may have gone with that. Thanks for watching Sheri!

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

Thanks for sharing your journey as you created this quilt. Turned out quite lovely and sparked some ideas for a quilt I am designing. Always excited when I see you have a new video.

[@mostlyquilts1386]

Thanks for watching Cynthia, I’m so pleased it gave you some ideas! Happy quilting.

[@sandylee1934]

Great video and quilt. I enjoyed watching you create it! Sandy

[@mostlyquilts1386]

Thanks Sandy! It was fun.

[@velmakennedy7753]

I stumbled upon your channel yesterday. Am enjoying you. I wanted to comment on your Aunt's quilt that you are repairing I can't find that video so I will post it here. If you brew some strong tea and put the material that is too white or too bright into the tea the tea will stain the material with a light tan color. The longer you leave it the darker it gets. Rinse the material, dry then iron. Now it looks older and fits in with the 70's materials. Hope this helps.

[@mostlyquilts1386]

Welcome to the channel Velma! I’m glad you found me. Thanks for the tea tip! It reminds me I’ve still got to get to that quilt and mend it! It’s on my to do list.

[@swfirefly305]

Great improv! It turned out really cute. I would love to see more Darlene Michaud penny auction projects.

[@mostlyquilts1386]

I definitely see more happening in the future. I think the Santa fabric is a must.

[@SewFun]

It might be worthwhile to set it out on a white fabric so your husband could see what another white border would look like. I agree with you that it wouldn't go, but it was sweet that he was trying to help and if you showed it to him, he might see that he doesn't like it either, but that you considered his suggestion. Probably too much work to do. I love the quilt, though and I also really enjoy hearing your process. Thank you for sharing!

[@mostlyquilts1386]

That’s a good idea Teresa. I really do appreciate that he gives his opinion and cares. It’s kind of heart warming to me.

[@veronicascott8012]

I love it so much! (I have a dachshund/wiener dog). The rick-rack is such a great idea. I have to do that on my next quilt.

[@mostlyquilts1386]

Awwww… I think wiener dogs are the best. There’s something kind of old school about them.

[@Misskatethrifts]

Hi! I am enjoying seeing your creative process. I have been quilting for about 20 years. The last 5 years I have been making intermittent quilts. If live in Idaho I would love for you to join our quilt guild. You would love the ladies in our group. ☺️

[@mostlyquilts1386]

Hi Kate! Thanks for watching! I just joined my local guild and don’t want to take on too much. Thanks for the thought though! Happy quilting!

[@marygeorge9688]

Thank you for sharing the process in making this quilt. I appreciate your time. What is the name of the spray basting you use?

[@mostlyquilts1386]

It’s by “Dritz” called Spray Adhesive.

[@carlyiversonhunter2056]

What is that pink ruler you use please? Love Darlene! She’s a hoot!darling quilt too :)

[@mostlyquilts1386]

It’s just a regular quilting ruler I got at joanne’s. Thanks for watching and happy quilting!

[@carlyiversonhunter2056]

@@mostlyquilts1386 , thanks!

[@loismarch6662]

What about black as your binding? I always think a little black sets it off. There is black on each dog.

[@mostlyquilts1386]

That’s a good point. I have a hard time with black. I rarely use it but it could be great with just a touch of it!

[@judithjanes5738]

Use the red/white polka dot for your binding! All the white in your blocks would make a cream-color surround look dirty. PLUS... WHERE does one grab/handle a quilt? Along the outer edges! Terrible place for a light fabric unless 1. You want to be washing it on the regular, or 2. It's for wall display only.

[@keepmeaccontabletam1136]

Did you sell the quilt ? I have several practice quilts I made that I am going to donate to a nursing home this winter

[@mostlyquilts1386]

Never sold it. That’s awesome you’re making quilts for good causes!

[@judithjanes5738]

I would have used the red/white polka dot instead of the blue for the sashing. More is More! Look up Freddy Moran quilts for a real eye-opener!

[@mostlyquilts1386]

Will do! Thanks!

[@kimlettau4167]

Cute quilt...hubby needs to stick to handiwork! You wayyyy over think your quilts! It's suppose to be fun .... not a methodical process! 😉
