[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

7⃣ YEARS IN THE MAKING. I can hardly believe that it's done. And the strips have totally transformed into a quilt. And I love a heavy quilt. Off to test drive it now. 😊

[@suzan604]

It was so satisfying to watch! Thank you!

[@cozycasasmr4510]

well done!

[@maureenreed7670]

Karen it's just stunning!! 😍, what a mammoth devotion achievement, in time, energy and careful collection of fabric memories, I'm very inspired.. I might just Start by setting myself a task of one adding machine line per month. And see where it takes me. Thank you again for your inspiration 🎉 that really is a celebration quilt 🎉

[@hazelmccullagh]

Thanks Karen my scrap box is large and I’m going to try a version of your quilt I don’t have access to paper tape however I’m going to try well done the quilt is quite an achievement it’s beautiful

[@gloriamarrs3273]

Now I am 82 and I have the tape, and a lg. basket of scraps. So I have decided that when I have finished all of my ufos I will do this. LOL. Maybe this will be the one I take to the nursing home? The last project. Have a good day Karen. 🤎ya . From Texes.

[@lindabirkes-lance8915]

Applause! Standing Ovation! This is a quilt that tells the story of your life and is a treasure.

[@barbaralong4362]

Absolutely legendary quilt! I've been watching you make the adding machine tape strips for so long. I go through phases of crafting and I recently came back to quilting, so I'm checking on all my favorite channels. Holy smokes! This is amazing!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you! Glad you like it!

This is a heirloom quilt Karen. I’m in awe of your bravery to make this.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I’m surprised that my family did not stage an intervention

[@suebean3873]

I so agree! An heirloom for sure!

[@Suzanka-d7y]

@@JustGetitDoneQuilts THAT is hilarious! i.e. "OK Mom, that ticker tape project is getting a little bit too tickery silli-ickery for us, come on down from the mountain top and back to reality!"

[@shannoneaster9311]

❤️Absolutely fabulous scrap quilt. It resembles a stained glass window. Well done!!! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@opally]

Karen has shown how a bite at a time with persistence you can eat a whole wedding cake and create a Masterpiece! You can talk yourself out of something but you can also talk yourself into it. Just make your current goal realistic. In my 60's I bought a retaining wall "kit". Then I could not find anyone to hire. I worked on it for 15 mins at a time and now it's finished and gorgeous!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

👏👏👏 way to go

Well done, Karen! Many sewists wouldn't bother keeping such small pieces of fabric, but look what you've made out of nothing at all! Imagine all of the warmth that sewists could provide if they all did this.

[@AnitaSouthall]

❤ Amen 🙏

[@marysalmond5273]

You are truly amazing and you do amazing work! After all these years, you are still so practical, clear, and creative. ❤

[@emilie1365]

Picture of the top floating in the garage door: the stained glass effect is absolutely sublime!❤

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

The first time I hung a quilt there I was just mesmerized by the effect. Now I do it for all my quilts

[@pattyturner7634]

This is a wonderful, colorful, memorable quilt, Karen! You keep and use so many of your small scraps. I usually get rid of any scraps smaller than 2”. We have a wonderful recycling program, Ridwell, which has a category called “Threads”, which will take fabric scraps. So I bundle them into a worn out zip lock bag and toss them in the bag. But now perhaps I’ll start keeping even the smaller ones…. Thanks for another fabulous, informative video!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I’m glad the binding is finally on this one

[@blackhorse9726]

[@alexandra-zaza-burns]

I remember when you started the adding tape strips, it was a long, long time ago. It looks brilliant you must be delighted how it’s turned out and so glad it’s finally finished. I’m sure looking at all the fabrics must bring a huge amount of memories and emotions.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

It is fun to touch them all and remember where they came from

[@kerryrowles5217]

Oh wow! Karen, that is truly SPECTACULAR! What an epic quilt. Your perseverance is admirable. I love all things "scrappy", from crumbs to granny squares made with yarn. This quilt epitomises the frugal aspect of quilting's humble beginnings. 🙏

Absolutely STUPENDOUS!!! From a distance, when we can see the entire quilt top, those neutral sashing strips are virtually invisible. Well done in EVERY respect! 🤗💖🎶💐

[@sandydali699]

That quilt is amazing. You did an amazing job. The sashing color blends perfectly and doesn't distract. It looks like an amazing stained glass window. I wish I had the patience for those tiny scraps.

[@SewGurl58]

Wait, what??? You have an on-point layout chart??? How did I never find that? I’ve actually googled that because I didn’t want to have to do the math. Of course you’ve figured this out and put it together! You’re brilliant.

[@m.m.4645]

So gorgeous! So many months ago, I watched some of your videos and let you inspire me to take care of all those tons of scraps, small and smaller and tiny .... And....mine is finished, too! Thank you so much. I love my scrap quilt!

[@hazeldw4786]

The enormity of this leaves me in awe. First of all, it takes a lot of projects to get that many scraps. Then to do a king size quilt out of nothing but scraps and crumbs is monumental. Just wow.

Wow!!!!!!!! 😳😳 Gorgeous results.

WOW!!! Best scrap quilt I have ever seen!

[@TarahMatson-zz2hj]

Hi Karen, I just wanted to let you know that I think that this is the most gorgeous scrap quilt that I ever seen. I love everything about it. I have been subscribed to your channel and I’be been watching your videos. I am a new quilter, working on my first quilt. I’m making the 6 inch size of Moda Blockheads 5. I have referred back to you so many times and I always find the answers to my questions from you. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and for bringing your love of quilting into my life. Hugs and appreciation from Minnesota.❤️

[@pooie0116]

Fantastic! I absolutely love how you assembled and finished this one! Congratulations on seeing all those crumbs through to the very end and, as always, thanks for sharing your journey ❤❤❤

[@kellyboyneoconnor3709]

Straight line quilting was definitely the right choice for the quilt! Absolutely gorgeous!

[@sueschultz1770]

Absolutely beautiful result of years of patient sewing. I especially like your idea of the narrow sashing as a way to attach the crumb strips together. Just enough width to allow cohesion without diminishing the impact of the crumbs. Inspirational. Thanks for sharing the finished quilt.

[@lauris5708]

Yes, I thought the narrow sashing strip was a really smart way to join the strips together and I like that she used the same fabric throughout for cohesion. Very nice.

[@rachelsukeforth6142]

Karen, you're a genius. And utterly delightful.

[@djlane5213]

I love this quilt so much. It may be my favorite of all the ones I’ve seen you make. It’s so my style! I’ve been making scrap strips for a few years, but I cut the strips from newspaper, since I didn’t have adding machine tape. I got in the habit of doing in between projects as a way to decompress with a little free-styling-no rules, no measuring, just mindless stitching, and we all know how good that feels. I’d been thinking of using them as a scrappy binding, but seeing them in your FABULOUS quilt may inspire a different direction. I’ve learned so much from you since 2021, with your incredible graphics and mathematical calculations. You could be called a Quilt Engineer. TY for taking the time to put together these exceptional videos. They are much more than entertainment. They’re a master class in the how-tos behind the creativity. 🙌

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

[@denisepineda1788]

That is an amazing quilt. With the sun going through it, it almost looked like stained glass. I love the small sashing strips which helped unify it. Thanks for sharing the process with us.

[@JanaCoyle]

Karen! I have been waiting for this…and it’s stunning. My very first quilt was crumb pieced because I am nuts and when I saw the previous adding machine strip video, it spoke to me. It also started a hoard of grocery store receipts, but that is another story. 😂 Your videos have taught me so much over the past few years. Thank you for helping me make the quilts that I want make.

[@judithbarnes4905]

Even your crumb quilt is a work of art!!

[@sharone9751]

How FUN to see the final product from your scraps!! It's GORGEOUS! Personally I never want to see the fabric again from my quilts so am happy to gift leftovers to others . . . .

[@kimragland963]

I am totally blown away by your dedication to this project…what a testament to your love for this craft, and a lifetime of using your skills to bless others. It is inspiring to think of all of the projects, work and love that went into each step of this quilt. I can imagine that as you look at it and use it, you will remember times and people on your life that were meaningful and formative to who and where you are now. I hope that I can emulate this in my own quilting journey. Thank you for sharing your heart in this way!
