Celtics charm quilt is gorgeous. Thank you for your videos

[@bettekufrin554]

Celtic Charm. Came across your site and I love it. Will be watching you always.

[@cindydriedger7797]

You are so knowledgeable It’s a joy to watch you explain things. Thanks very much

[@theopinionatedquilter]

You are very welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@ccreel64]

I’m so glad your vendor steered you back to Pauline’s(sp?) booth. Thank you for sharing her technique and your quilty math lesson.❤

[@theopinionatedquilter]

You are so welcome!

[@jesm1776]

Love the Celtic quilt!

[@nursekate6772]

This is fantastic!! Thank you so much for showing this! I make a ton of donation quilts and dont have the money to buy a longarm, and can't afford to send every single quilt out. I'm definitely going to order the book and give this a try!

[@abeullah03]

Thank you for sharing Pauline’s channel, going to check her out, always look forward to learning something new from you

[@theopinionatedquilter]

Of course. I always look forward to learning new things too.

[@leonanowland3017]

I love "use what I have till it's gone" It will never happen. My scraps multiply I have plenty of yardage, but I reach for my scraps first. And they never run out. I love your channel TY

[@MaryMannion]

Yeah. And no matter how much fabric you use, it never makes a dent. Yet when you buy one yard, your fabric stash explodes

[@marygem]

Lol. 3 years of quilting scraps done so far, another 15 years to go here!

[@theopinionatedquilter]

I am going to have to clarify that. Use what I have pulled from the stash for that particular quilt till it's gone.

[@venus8296]

Thanks for telling us about Pauline and her quilt as you go method. I've never been a fan of QAYG done the original way, but these results are much nicer. It will be quite a learning curve, but I'm game to try it for quilts I make that are block-based. Bought the book and the sashers. Off we go! as usual, a terrific episode with common-sense advice and straightforward presentation. Love it.

[@theopinionatedquilter]

I am so glad you enjoy my videos

[@roadtrippingtheusa]

Celtic Charm Love it and love your videos.

[@nancysmith9545]

Herky Jerky…..That’s my new middle name. 😂. Can’t do free motion to save my life! Love the episode.❤

[@stevemcmillin2737]

Celtic charm. I'm going to have to check out the machine quilting method. I do do some Quilt as you GO sometimes. Also nice for small projects like placemates.

[@notesfromleisa-land]

Wing Clipper is a must have tool. Incomparable productivity and accuracy. Any blocks with bias benefit from slight oversizing and accurate trim down. I made about 200 Sawtooth stars to put in some throws. Block immersion helps develop deep skills (and appreciation of good tools)

[@terrymannbluemoonsoapco.1377]

Hi Maureen. I do appreciate your help in understanding the math in quilting. I've been sewing since Home-EC. class in high school (1968, I'm 70 now). I enjoyed making clothes that no one else had. I've been quilting regularly since 2020 and watch a lot of quilters on KZbin. I have 2 treadle machines that I regularly use, and I like to piece while watching quilting videos. I enjoy your opinions on other quilters approach to construction methods etc. You have a great no nonsense attitude that I enjoy. I live in Texas now but am originally from the Wheeling, Illinois area. I don't need another quilt top in the queue, just wanted to say hi.

[@theopinionatedquilter]

Thanks so much for watching. Wheeling is very close to the shop.

[@lesleygilbert1945]

Thank you for the demonstration 🤩

[@kdaugherty5407]

I enjoy quilting as you go. But until now, it was a bit boring. Thank you for your video. I look forward to continuing with great anticipation. 🙂

[@stephaniepugh1471]

Celtic charm I thoroughly enjoy your videos and have learned quite a bit from your opinions. Thank you for doing a lot of the math for me!

[@theopinionatedquilter]

My pleasure!

[@delwacker8187]

Celtic charm is lovely

[@dianabarker3815]

[@quilt2022]

Celtic Charm. I like the simplicity of this pattern! Your videos are so iinformative . Please don't stop making them!

[@roycelenamond746]

Celtic Charm Great episode. Again!! I appreciate the breakdown of the Saw Toothed Star block. I do have a question for you: how did the drive into Gammil shake out? I’m really interested in your findings. Thanks again for the practical help in quilting! Hope you had a great Mother’s Day!!

[@donnaalonzo8599]

Celtic Charm. Just found your site. Love it.

[@colleend2977]

Thank you for this. I have some of these but haven't used them yet. I was too skeerd! Now I know it doesn't need to be free motion.

[@gisellejones1139]

The Celtic Charm is lovely. Thanks for the quilting tips😊😊

[@katrinahough290]

Congratulations to the winner! and Thank you for sharing Pauline's information. I'm interested in how she joins her squares together. I'll look for the book!

[@jacquelinespivey2413]

Celtic charm. What a beautiful quilt.

[@renitatanski2845]

CELTIC CHARM. What a nice quilt. The technique you demonstrated was very interesting. I enjoy all of your episodes.

[@saraharrell1768]

Celtic charm. Thank you for the info on the star measurements. Really thank you for the quilting lesson also. I have several blocks that i have made and this would work great for them. I am going to check out the book. Thank you

[@theopinionatedquilter]

You are so welcome!

[@normatulloch376]

Great idea. Thank you.

[@ciaobella8151]

Would love to try that new quilting method on the Celtic charm

[@bitsnharry]

Being as how I am another in the herky-jerky family when it comes to free motion quilting I was absolutely fascinated with today’s video! Oh my goodness! I’m on a very limited budget and I’m planning on making quilts that need more than just a straight line quilting so this is So interesting! Celtic charm is very pretty and definitely all the Christmas quilt size that I would need should I win. That’s so nice of you to be giving away all these quilts!

[@nursekate6772]

Celtic Charm is gorgeous!!! I'm Scotts-Welsh and love everything Celtic designed.

[@carolynquick]

Celtic Charm Thanks for the tips

[@helenadietz9176]

[@kathykaplan2451]

I have all these and never once thought of using them on my quilt as you go blocks!

[@peggygunderson5578]

Celtic charm is lovely. Thanks for the great tips from Pauline. I will be going to her channel.

[@sharontefft559]

Celtic Charm. Thank you for your videos and sharing Pauline’s technique. I am thinking of trying out the quilt as you go

[@pennykehus2309]

Interesting video. Celtic Charm.

[@sweetcake405]

celtic charm. What an awesome way to quilt! my freemotion is nothinng to write home about. thank you

[@beckypetersen2680]

That quilting is amazing - great job! I'm curious if my Janome would be able to do that smoothly as well! Enjoyed the video.

[@theopinionatedquilter]

As long as you can reduce the presser foot pressure you should be able to.

[@marylynneturner5290]

Celtic Charm. I love Celtic design, and this is wonderful!

[@papercents]

I've made notes on my World's Greatest Scrap Quilt pattern for the 12" block - thank you for sharing that! Thank you also for showing Pauline's Quilters World's quilt as you go method - beautifully done! Although your giveaway is tempting - I have more than enough tops already made that I need to finish up ... lol Thank you & Happy Scrappy Sewing!

[@melynamontoya8292]

Celtic charm. That quilting looks sew good. ❤

[@C123abc]

Thank you so much for the intro to Pauline and for the explanation of her technique. I have Pounce and some templates but never had the ability to make them work smoothly. Can't wait to try this! Please let us know if you've tried Grippy spray on your rulers. I have and love it. Not sure if there's a downside but so far it's working great.

[@stitchinginthebarn8307]

I love how informative your videos are. Congratulations to this week's winner! Thank you for hosting another giveaway. The cetic charm quilt is lovely. I'm a recent subscriber & I have a few questions. What is your quilting journey: how did you learn?How long have you been quilting? When & why did you open a shop?

[@jenniferreinke9898]

Love your tips! I would love to try this. And I love the Celtic charm. Thank you for all you do

[@GeminiPeg]

Celtic Charm quilt would be a great table topper! Great colors.

[@dcarrollart]

I just came across your channel and already learned a valuable technique. Thank you. I would be beyond ecstatic to win the Celtic Charm quilt! Congratulations to the person who won the last one.

[@theopinionatedquilter]

Thanks for watching.

[@taniadressler585]

Celtics charm top looks like a fun top to finish up! Great episode, thank you!

The Celtic Charm is beautiful! I enjoy your videos.

[@gigiontube]

Celtic Charm. I would love to be considered to win this quilt. It would be treasured in my house ! Thank you for ALL your very informative videos. I appreciate your work !

[@Treaclepuff]

Celtic Charm! Congratulations to the winner of the quilt from last week! Thank you for another wonderful video. I have one of those pounce pads and I tried using it for a whole quilt; which didn't work out very well. It never occurred to me to try QAYG! I can see how that might work better, so I will give that a try, and check out the booklet you mentioned. Thanks again for this video!!

[@lynnepfeffer8039]

So much great information in this episode. Thank you!

[@beccachurch]

Celtic charm - Love the kelly green with the rust!!

[@conniekirby851]

I like the Celtic Charm.

[@mariannecamous3472]

Love Celtic Charm!! Great table topper!

[@suesweeney5952]

Celtic Charm. OMG Maureen what a cool technique. I too struggle - and have given up - with free motion. Don't have the hand-eye coordination, I think. Always appreciate your explanations of changing block sizes.

[@cyn4rest]

This was a super duper great show! Thanks sew much.

[@lynnlockardquilting]

Celtics Charm. Beautiful quilt. Love your videos. I am a freemotion custom quilter, plus ruler work. You made the quilt as you go look very easy. But I would most likely be lost lol. Have a great day ❤

[@susanrichtarcik5672]

Love Celtic Charm. Thank you for your videos. Love to listen to your opinions

[@kattybob1749]

For the Q and A,What colors do you most avoid or patterns/themes.eg children's fabric.

[@lindathomas6684]

I would love to win the "celtic charm" quilt top

[@denicekorcal5262]

Dumb question: were the flying geese placed backward on your sawtooth star diagram? Like the Celtic Charm!

[@theopinionatedquilter]

Yes, I did! Total accident. I have to show the correction next week. Good catch.

[@theopinionatedquilter]

And, by the way, there are NO DUMB QUESTIONS!

[@jennrea4275]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@dithyrambicjennet4576]

[@haslinawilson6093]

[@helenpeddycord2241]

The Celtic Charm quilt is beautifully made! TY Maureen, for the excellent help in calculating the squares and for featuring Pauline’s quilting method! I have completed several quilts using her method and have enjoyed every one of them!💕🧵

[@theopinionatedquilter]

So glad to hear that you have used her method.

[@janetpicard6975]

Can you do a video on the best machine QAYG method? I don't like obvious connector sashings and there's no way I'm hand stitching around each block on the back. Also, doesn't the lack of continuous batting create floppy areas? I like this quilting with feed dogs up, but I need to be convinced about QAYG before committing. Thank you.

[@theopinionatedquilter]

Pauline uses batting in some of her connecters. Her quilts looked really lovely; I did not see any floppy areas. As far as the best machine, I am a Bernina dealer and, of course, think they are the best. That said, if you can reduce your presser foot pressure you can do the technique.

[@karlaharris4960]

Celtic Charm. Beautiful technique. Not so intimidating!

[@marshawallace7522]

I would love to win the Celtic Charm quilt top. I've been intrigued by Pauline's QAYG method for a while now and I believe I have her book. I wasn't aware of the quilt ponce product. I DO struggle with FMQ so this might be a solution for me. Are the stencils from Pauline or are they ones you had? Thanks for sharing!

[@theopinionatedquilter]

The stencils are from Full Line Stencil, my distributor carries them so you should be able to find them in your LQS. If not, they have a website, fulllinestencil.com

[@gailalderman9509]

Celtic Carm

[@suzannemiller993]

Maybe I missed it but what stitch length did you use on the "free motion" block?

[@theopinionatedquilter]

2.5 I think Pauline said she uses 3 but I am not positive.

[@jessicawakefield4833]

Celtic Charm. How would you remove chalk after quilting?

[@theopinionatedquilter]

There are two types of the chalk one is wash away or brush it off, the other is heat remove. Just depends on which one you purchase.

[@dorisr2832]

did you spray baste first?

[@alison5072]

What’s the reason for not using the dual feed?

[@theopinionatedquilter]

When I tried it with the dual feed the fabric did not glide as easily. I think it must put some pressure on the block.

[@valeriemacdonald2831]

Oops! Celtic Charm…

[@jylromain6439]

this sounded fantastic until you mentioned adjusting the presser foot pressure. I don't like to mess with my machine. Besides, it's a basic Janome 2212 and I have no idea how I would do this. KZbin was no help unless I wanted to pay for the answer. Trying to think of a way to do this without the presser foot issue.
