🍁 THE MAKING OF THE MAPLE & EUCALYPTUS QUILT

[@socalgingerjohnson]

I may have teared up 😢when your parents rolled out your beautiful quilt!!! I am so grateful you shared the story behind this adventure. You are both amazing. Thank you for inspiring so many❤

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you so much

[@JenniferHenberger]

I did too! I am in tears with this video!

[@mompears]

Me too! Just lovely!

[@shanegeis2696]

Beautiful quilt, excellent job. How wonderful your parents got to join in on your success! Do you think a beginner could make this quilt? I love all you teach through your videos, thank you ❤

[@socalgingerjohnson]

@@shanegeis2696 Yes! You will learn so much as a beginner while accomplishing each block. The sew-a-long makes the 100 day challenge blocks achievable. So many quilters will be there to help. Instagram will be key!

[@leeannelange6551]

What an epic undertaking! That was a once in a lifetime adventure, it's stunning!

[@jaclynramsier5271]

I LOVE seeing you standing at your longarm in thinking mode. People don't realize the amount of time we log just staring, maybe sketching, debating internally..... I really saw myself in that clip and SO glad it made the cut!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

So much time 🤪

[@marybeth4002]

wow! Wow!! WOW!!! What an incredible quilt with a great background story. I am nowhere near this skill level (or patience) but I can most certainly appreciate the time, skill and dedication in creating the pattern and quilt itself. The fabric choice is spectacular with a beautiful flow of color and pattern. Great photos, including your parents unrolling the quilt - priceless. ❤

[@gwynwellliver4489]

Took the words right out of my mouth!

[@dorothydishman4664]

I actually might make this one.....one block at a time is like eating an elephant , one bite at a time. Looking forward to it.

[@DianeSmith-h7t]

WOW! That is absolutely stunning! I'm only about 1.5 years into learning to quilt, maybe an intermediate beginner, but I can appreciate all the hard work you two put into that quilt. You two have certainly inspired me to push myself further with each project I tackle!❤

[@melanietannertaylor0401]

Saw your reveal on YT today, then your video popped up on my YT feed. What a ride !! Beautiful ♥️

[@norahmcphee4928]

Karen and Angie, your stunningly beautiful quilit is absolutely gorgeous and i love how you have used "just" plain fabrics. The colour spectrum is just stunning and it truly is a rainbow of beauty. I have always loved the colours in the rainbow, from colouring in as a child to the big child that i have become (because i still love a colouring in pad and set of pens and pencils). I love going through the colour spectrum, it brightens up the gloomiest of days and this piece of art is just testament to what i see. I love how you have quilted it in the colours of the blocks Karen, i know that this took up so much more time and skill than you were ready for the cruise, but your patience and talent have shone through and brings it alive flower. What better way to learn to quilt new blocks, than following along with this challenge to make the 100 block a day quilt. Thank you flower for sharing with us that couldn't get on the cruise, this stunning work of art and design of art, thank you girls. Crafty hugs from Norah, Glenochil, Scotland

[@joycekaminski1943]

Oh My Goodness Karen, this video brought tears to my eyes. You worked so hard and diligently to get this quilt finished so perfectly and beautiful; I cannot imagine the pressure you felt. It was all worth it because the quilt is spectacular.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

🤗🤗🤗 thank you so much

[@keertimarathe1948]

A gigantic task indeed !! An inspiration for beginners who get overwhelmed by the thought of creating even a baby blanket quilt !!😂😂

[@Cassandra-..-]

In the middle of watching how this major project played out for you (WOW!), I opened the fridge to get the leftover pasta salad out for lunch. My husband’s old, smelly kimchee container fell out, and while I was thanking my lucky stars that the container stayed intact and only a little liquid spilled, a grocery store container of cubed watermelon and much juice fell out and beaned me on the head! The contents sprayed across my tile kitchen floor and hardwood entryway. So I dug out my new spinny mop bucket and mop, and went to work while you mulled over quilting strategies. I paused, got my lunch, and🎉 all was right with the world as you made it to your cruise with quilt in hand! Also note that midstream, a very long Apple commercial (highlighting the security options for protecting and recovering a stolen laptop in a cute mini-movie) played through while I was mopping and drying, setting a just-under-frenetic pace for my work. All in all, I’m glad we went through this together. My floor is clean! Your quilt is beautiful! I especially like the four block colors you selected and your gorgeous free motion quilting. Cheers to us!

[@sheilakeating9089]

I got goose bumps when your parents unveiled your beautiful quilt. It is absolutely amazing. Applause to both you and Angie. Thank you for sharing.

[@rhondagarden8878]

🎉🎉BRAVO!!🎉🎉

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Wow Karen - what an adventure and a great story. Thanks for sharing! It's a beautiful quilt.

[@sandybrown2113]

Stunning!

[@juliemorrison4348]

Thank you Karen for showing the mammoth task that went into your collaboration with Angie. I love the finished quilt and what a challenge changing the thread for your quilting with each block. I have been studying the pattern and bonus layouts which are absolutely amazing. 💗🇦🇺

[@underthebluesky92]

Thank you for sharing your mistakes, sometimes, I think I’m the only one messing up a block. Beautiful quilt love the roll-out off the deck.

[@mariejohns1387]

Karen and Angie….. congrats on the birth of your baby!!! She is absolutely amazing and beautiful!! Job well done ladies!❤️

[@morganosborne9258]

That is yummy. I love samplers and this one is just over the top fantastic.

[@Craftythrifter]

Thanks for a look behind the scenes on how a pattern gets made. Would love to see a video from Angie’s perspective too. You can better appreciate the cost when you realize that there’s a LOT of work involved. Beautiful quilt, great pattern. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@turtztube]

Karen, you’ve been through so much personally & mentally in the last couple of years. Congratulations to the happy couple! Your family is very clearly loved & treasured - I am so very glad that they take priority. I laughed at you maniacally finishing Maple & Eucalyptus, saying ‘Don’t drive tired!!’ at the screen. May you find some space for yourself soon.

[@kathleenmcdonough9436]

My self care will be a new candle near the kitchen shelf and continuing my plan to spend time each day in my sewing room🥰 Enjoy your weekend!

[@19betchai]

Karen you are astounding!!! I have no words 😶

[@cc83jc85]

I’m watching this, as I’m resting…I was EXHAUSTED listening how busy that quilt kept you! But you did such an exceptional job of quilting it!

[@jennystrahley927]

Oh my gosh! So beautiful Karen and Angie! I actually got chills when your parents rolled the quilt off the porch banister! Gorgeous! Karen, you did a spectacular job with your quilting. 🥰

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you so much!

[@prnhoney]

I smiled when you said at 4 am of the day we were flying out! I’ve always been a last-minute kind of person, but the stress involved with that must have been something else! It’s beautiful!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I slept the whole plane ride 😎

[@karenshlemkevich2591]

HOLY WOW! You are AMBITIOUS! That is one heck of a journey.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

The work paid off

[@helenpeddycord2241]

Your quilt is extraordinary Karen! The patters and colors are cheerful, soothing and happy! Kudos to you and Angie for a Mega job well done!💕🧵

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you so much!

[@r-anthro]

Congratulations on your daughter’s wedding!

[@myrahaws5148]

Wow! Wow!Wow!! I am speechless. Absolutely beautiful.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Such great vibrant color and obvious top-notch sewing. Thank you for sharing this beautiful creation!!🥰💗

[@big_ted]

Spectacular!

[@Treaclepuff]

The quilt sure did turn out lovely, didn't it? It's fascinating to learn all the details of the work involved in creating blocks and layouts for a quilt! Thanks for showing that aspect of the making of the quilt!

[@coribeckett7400]

Karen, it’s stunning. You and Angie should be super proud. I love the use of the “neutrals” as a foundation for the beautiful rainbow brights as your color story. Lovely.

[@susanlusk9584]

One of my favorite quilt videos that you have shown us. You and Angie produced a masterpiece. Thank you!

[@helencowen135]

Stunning quilt - congratulations Karen & Angie

[@lindaprice9242]

Oh my goodness all I can say is wow! So much work on years and Angie's part but my it turned out beautiful.

[@MsFitz134]

Wow what a time crunch! The hard work paid off, its absolutely beautiful.

[@sararempel7956]

This quilt!! I was breathless by the end of your talk, 😂. Wow just stunning! Soo much work time, and energy!! Thx so much for sharing the back story! Fascinating!

[@bethkoch11]

Gorgeous quilt! I'm exhausted after watching that video! What an accomplishment!

[@JoanneBerndsen]

Wow ! What a beautiful film ! Thank you ! The hard copy I ordered from Angie arrived all the way from Australia just a few days ago! It's so well thought out ! Very inspiring and motivating ! So looking forward to the sew along. This is a big " out of my comfort zone " step for me. Thank you both and all the behind the scenes folk for all your time and energy ! Happy sewing machine day !

[@amyy0220]

It was a breath taking moment watching the quilt unfurl in the bright sunlight. Many thanks for sharing your incredible work!

[@mjbruenderman506]

So. Impressive and gorgeous.

[@lynnarazny8767]

Floating the pieced portion of each block within coping strips to construct 8" blocks was a brilliant idea. Lots of space for delicious quilting as well as delightful to the eye. Bravo Karen and Angie!

[@MarvinNL]

OMGoodness! the amazing amount of work, sweat and tears it took to make this quilt are phenomenal. You did make something together, an absolutely beautiful quilt and hopefully a lovely warm friendship with good memories to last forever!

[@LpoolDogLover]

Gorgeous! The quilt and the colors are outstanding! Thank you for sharing and letting us know how much work goes into making a quilt pattern.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thanks for watching

[@jeanisrael2732]

Oh my goodness that is so beautiful. Wonderful job Karen and Angie. I've been wanting to make a 100 days quilt. It's just a matter of getting to it. 😉 Soon!

[@mrob8918]

That is one beautiful quilt. Job well done!!

[@elizabethamis9376]

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you

[@geniereiman1089]

What a great quilt! I love the colors and love it is a sampler. I just get to bored making the same block over and over again.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I do love samplers

[@carolynwells1395]

[@MartyLawless-kh2jd]

Wow! I am blown away by that quilt. Truly stunning! I was wondering why I hadn't seen much from you lately. Glad all is well.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you! 😊

[@lorrainemcdonald7332]

What a beautiful quilt. My skills run to square blocks. But all have been loved by the giftees.

[@sherriejohnson508]

So beautiful and amazing thank you

[@elizabethcollins8817]

Oh gosh 💖 How beautiful 🤗🧵🪡

[@Rainydaylily]

I love Prequilt. AND the Maple & Eucalyptus quilt is stunning. It's interesting to see what goes into creating a quilt pattern. Makes me willing to spend $$ to buy one.

[@Rquilter1962]

It was spectacular in person. Got to start the quilt on the cruise.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Looking forward to seeing your final block layout…said while sipping coffee from my coffee sleeve

[@bobbinwithbrittany]

Perfect name!

[@elizabethhuffman8478]

All that work and knowledge. That is why we pay for patterns people. What a beautiful job you have both done and I will be purchasing this pattern.❤

[@susanwid2099]

I love quilt stories with happy endings! Thank you for sharing your quilt and story!

WOW! I never knew all that went into the start to finish of quilt creation! thank you for sharing this journey

[@deannas1515]

Oh my gosh! I have to make that!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

👍

[@joyharper89]

This quilt is just breathtaking!!!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

🤗🤗🤗

[@dko3623]

Such an amazing achievement for both of you! As a quilt pattern designer and writer myself, I can hardly fathom writing the patterns for 100 blocks and sewing all the samples for them. Congratulations, job well done!

[@maggiemichel2370]

Stunner. Bought the pattern. Looking forward to it.

[@bwaldron8449]

Wow

[@annroberson8890]

Tis beautiful. Congratulations to you both.

[@person2463]

Damn, i love pavlova, and this does look delicious. Thankyou for sharing your story of design, sewing this quilt. Hugs, Chel 🌸

[@quiltinggurlquiltgal]

How stressful this must have been. I never knew how much could be involved in such an undertaking! Wow! Kudos to you for preserving through this process 👏🏻 sending you a big cyber hug

[@harbourcolour]

WOW, Karen! What an absolutely stellar quilt. You and Angie are just amazing. This is very inspiring and I am so tempted to join you for 100 Days 100 Blocks!!!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

If you have the time, it’s a fun project

[@cyndialvarado6645]

Gorgeous ❤

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

Wow, what a great story!

[@kathleenpriestman553]

Wow! Congratulations to both of you, Karen and Angie, and a special thanks to Karen for showing us behind the scenes. I am particularly touched that you were still finishing the binding on board ship - that’d be me, too! It’s lovely, thanks for all your hard work!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

LOL… I’m sure that so many of us do

[@cherigivan8667]

Simply stunning!

[@barbaralazier8352]

This quilt is even better in person. It is stunning

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you

[@heathermann4240]

Absolutely beautiful! So much work but what a reward!

[@melindamckenry6368]

What a beautiful quilt....the colors and design are exquisite. Thank you for sharing.

[@maryposuniak5281]

Just Gorgeous! Love following you!

[@philnasmith9755]

Gorgeous quilt Karen and Angie - it is certainly beautiful

[@knitsalot]

Modern & beautiful! I don't know how you got that all done, with a quilt, cruise & wedding!!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I am trying to slow down this month

[@susyk6839]

I already bought my copy & cannot wait to get started! Thanks to you & Angie for all your amazing work!

[@candygrubisic]

That was fun hearing about your journey with the making of this quilt and the pattern with Angie and your roles in the process. I do think there's no better name than the one you two came up with and settled on. It's always nice to hear when an accomplished and experienced quilter needs to remake a few blocks just like the rest of us lol. Tends to make us feel better about our own mistakes I'm sure. I swear every time a quilt flows over the rail of a deck it brings out the beauty even more doesn't it?

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Very true. It never gets old

[@donnastjules8157]

It is absolutely gorgeous Karen!

[@e.malloy7530]

WOW! Such a vibrant and beautiful new design - Thanks for sharing the final reveal with us!

[@denisepineda1788]

It is an amazing quilt. I would call this Extreme Quilting! That was quite a feat, Karen!

[@quiltybee]

Wow. I teared up and got so emotional when you had the final reveal! A perfectly unique quilt and when I do a modern quilt this will be the first pattern I use!

[@alisahausgaard973]

Amazing work and patience. Stunning quilt! What an amazing journey along the way!

[@angelerobichaud2586]

I love your quilt! You are seriously tempting me to join

[@dadams512]

I am blown away with this quilt. You two ladies did amazing work on this collaboration. It's spectacular!!
