THE QUILTING MARINE - Starting tips for the NY Beauty!

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

Newsprint is pretty cheap on Amazon but if you go to the Dollar tree you can buy a pack of kids drawing pad that is about a 9”x18” pad and you get 50 sheets and cut it down to 8 1/2 X 11 size and run it thru the printer. It is much cheaper than Amazon. I love the way you organize your quilting pieces. I am working on 3 different quilts right now and I am definitely going to start doing this. It will make my life a whole lot less complicated.

Love that idea of creating the pieces of the block and keeping them in the page protecter sleeves until your ready to finish the blocks. Great saying “my room my rules”. Continue your creative!

What a happy chap you are😊 I really enjoy your videos. An Old Girl in KZN SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦

Oh my, I am so excited about this quilt. You made my heart happy to see your enthusiasm and delight for what you are doing. Thank you. Xx

[@anitra7747]

Mark! I’m so pleased you’ve hit your target dead center! Thank you for the shoutout! You’ve done a fantastic job finding a way to keep your block parts organized. I think that is a very smart solution. Your blocks don’t get wrinkled or crumpled and they stay with their intended counterparts. If you are using templates I can suggest a temporary glue dot and dispenser. I use that on the back of my paper templates when I am rotary cutting any of my paper patterns and it is a big help. The glue just rubs off gently. I think I’ve noticed a similar pattern of behavior that I myself experience. I am anxious about starting a new technique and I drag my feet in dread until I finally hunker down and try it. Then I learn that I really like it. But the grace I give myself then, is all the experience I’ve built up in the interim has equipped me for the challenge. I’m very proud of you!

Thanks for showing us your WIP blocks... your wife did a FABULOUS job matching those bold batiks! ~Diana K.

[@melmcd100]

I love this quilt and I also love the idea of the plastic sleeves to keep your blocks sorted and ready to go! Thanks for this inspiring video!!!

[@galebadowski2157]

Thank you! You have made it much less frightening, and I’ve cut out the pattern for block one! I’m looking forward to your tutorials, this quilt is outstanding!

[@queeneebee3102]

Fabric choices are FABULOUS. I have a similar pattern called Lady Liberty. Identical pattern. I have the kit with all pattern pieces preprinted. I've had it for a longtime but watching your video has motivated me to get busy!! Love your fabric choices and the way you teach. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.

[@megegert861]

You inspire me! I’m in Washington and this looks like something that I can make to do some healing. Strange times require inspiration and joy. You brought me that. 😊 Thanks

[@bettymoreno3380]

Mark thank you for making this so simple. You've ironed out all the bugs.

[@MsSuperklutz]

OMG Mark.....WOW!! OH Gosh I'm so excited over everything you've accomplished and shared!!! What an Adventure....and how blessed are we that you are taking this on your New York Beauty Quilting Adventure with you!!!! LOVE all the materials you chose *GREAT eye Yvonne...Gosh so Stunningly Gorgeous to say the least!!!!! Mark your ideas to have your patterns for cutting are Brilliant and Ingenious!!! Love how excited you are too about it....I still get teary eyed *happy tears though* for the fact you are back doing Quilts the Quilting Marine way!! Thanks for your Outstanding Tutorial and Sharing your Tremendously Terrific Tips, Tricks & Techniques...and even though I'm NOT a quilter *have made one in the past* I understand all that talk about because as a scrapper I do mega paper piecing because lots of Cricut Image Cuts have tons of pieces and it takes a long time to piece the images together and I enjoy every single minute. SO looking forward to your next NY Beauty Share!! YOU AND YVONNE SO ROCK!! HUGS, Joan Smith

[@sandrahall9030]

Amazing and beautiful. I love your batiks and your "CFO" is doing an awesome job with her eye for color. Thanks, your channel is the best quilting channel I have ever seen. Entertaining to see a dude really enjoying fabric and quilting. Please keep it going and sharing with us!💯

[@sandralawson9520]

Have you tried a tracing wheel to go over the pattern first before sewing? Makes removing paper easier.

[@marjoriedonnett5467]

Thank you for the inspiration. I've always been nervous about making this block.

[@maryellenjohnson9055]

I love hearing your dogs in the background. They're nuts❤ 🤣 🐾 🐈 🐾 🐶 🐾

[@mainacht3509]

You’re very inspired. Please continue. Love it!

[@audreywilt5608]

So glad you are finally getting to make your New York Beauties. I look forward to seeing the final results. Love the colors and can I borrow your wife to set up my color schemes too. Iol. I used blacks n whites , so boring! Hope you still have the block I made you as inspiration/motivation. Awesome idea of storage for the blocks, gives you a chance to change up the colors when laying them all out prior to sewing them together. Thank you again Mark and Yvonne for the great youtube videos. You help so many people in so many ways.

[@cindyhughes5069]

I feel encouraged now to make this quilt..I love your colors as well Thank you!

[@sylviamayo8684]

"SO GLAD YOU ARE BACK. I MISSED YOU A LOT"

[@margohill3149]

These are going to be beautiful quilts, and you are so inspiring! Thank you.

[@lindalosier5989]

Beautiful color combinations and I love the use of batiks. I think I may attempt this quilt one day.

[@donnawest866]

Love love 💗 your fabric choices for this quilt! This quilt is going to be gorgeous! You guys are a great team!

[@theresew7479]

Thanks for showing us your process for the NY beauty. I've never tried it but have always wanted to give it a go (and I even have Valori's book!). You're giving me the inspiration I need... plus I love your sheet protector organizer for the blocks! 😁

[@ericataylor1708]

Wow CFO and producer you have a great eye for colors. Mark you are doing great!

[@sandracedar368]

I can't believe I missed your debut! I apologize! Different time zone (East Coast/Florida here). So happy to see you now, my friend. Watching with such excitement & anticipation! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, God bless you. your wife. your sweet doggies, & God Bless America🤗

[@lesa6399]

Fabric choices are simply beautiful! Wish I had a CO like that! 😉 I really want to push current projects aside - thankful for replays!!!! See you soon?!?!!

[@Stoffmonster467]

Very well organized, very good explanations - and great fabric choice

[@melissaorona2834]

Oh man! Loving this New York Beauty! I've never paper pieced and sewn few curves, but I've gotta do this one with you.

[@annajackson2239]

I’m so excited to watch this project progress!

[@berthablessedwilson]

Thanks for sharing everything. I’m just watching . I’m from Tracey’s. Group. Love your quilts 😊😍

[@EJsDaughter]

Your CFO has a great eye!!!!!! Also great idea in using the sheet protectors and binder. Looking forward to watching the process.

[@ericataylor1708]

🤣🤣 No questions! Heck yeah alot of questions!🤣🤣

[@susanblake1380]

I'm excited on this one. Keep'em coming.

[@junimondin]

I use normal printing paper and set the stichlengh on 1,2. That works fine and is realy easy to rip it out. I allready have done two practice Blocks. Thanks a lot for your tutorials. Greetings from Bavaria

[@lizatkinson8034]

Awesome orginization idea!!! Love it!

[@jimbennett374]

I need to try this. Thanks for sharing yours. 😀

[@kevinmonceaux2101]

I had gotten behind on your channel. Recently I've been watching some videos on foundation paper piecing. I start getting caught up on your channel and find more videos on foundation paper piecing. KZbin works in mysterious ways. I had collected some supplies a while back intending to give English paper piecing a try, but got sidetracked. I'll get back to it eventually. I didn't think I was interested in foundation paper piecing until I started hearing of the precision that can be achieved with it, and stumbling across QuiltWorx.com and seeing some of the amazing patterns available there. The precision aspect of it appeals to the OCD side of me. I have an Add-A-Quarter ruler set, some vellum paper, and Nancy Mahoney's Learn to Paper Piece: A Visual Guide to Piecing with Precision book on their way to me. One of the paper piecing videos on the OnPoint-TV and Quilting with Nancy channel has some tips on removing papers without pulling stitches. I love the combinations your CFO put together, and the combination of Batiks and solid colors for the points.

[@vickiboring4165]

love watching your tutorials, and im going to try this pattern. My home town quilt shop closed its doors because of the covid, but they have a website and have so so many batiks, rows and rows of them., plus any sewing notions or patterns you want... If you are looking for batiks., the quilt shop is called : The fabric shack, located in waynesville ohio :)

[@inerlogic]

If you shorten up your stitch length it helps with the paper.... makes it more perforated and easier to tear... CFO - Chief Fabric Officer?

[@donnarogers2429]

Love this. Let me go find my book, I have that book.

[@carriewoods7766]

Great video! I have not done paper piecing yet, but will be trying it as soon as I am done with my Quillows! Teaching has gotten in the way of sewing, so It will be a while before I finish.

[@ginarobinson42]

[@sandraengstrand2784]

Wow, good work!!!! 🧵✂️❤️ Nice cooperative operation!!!

[@paulajohnson420]

OMG I'm excited for you! Can't wait to see you do this. I'm so intimidated to do curves. This might get me brave enough to do some.

[@marleneslichter3472]

I’m sending you link to a friend who is going to start quilting

[@Silver_Stitcher]

This is so exciting! You fabric choices are beautiful!

[@melodyrill1871]

With block C and block A go to dollar tree and get some plastic cutting mats and make some plastic templates 😃

[@shaesimone4618]

I love your channel! Are you going to show this process from start to finish? I’m a beginning quilter and would love to see how you cut and sewed the curved and small pieces together.

[@barbaraatkins1469]

Nice to see you again bab

[@freida14]

Nice job, beautiful color combinations

[@peggybray5450]

Foundation paper is used for paper piecing. Love your pattern

[@ВикторияСергеева-ы3ъ]

Благодарю вас! Все четко! Желаю счастья, здороья и успехов!👍🌷💖

[@margarethassler5559]

What size will your finished block be? I really enjoy how you try to make things easier when quilting.

[@CellaVisionStudio]

How exciting! I need to grab this book and sew along. Suggestion: Grab some clear cutting mats from Dollar Tree (pack of 10 for $1) you can cut your most used templates from them. This way you don't have to worry about warping.

[@carriewoods7766]

Or using heavy card stock, my grandma used cereal boxes.

[@luvsnursing9946]

Love it

[@hondalily]

Hi QM! Wow this looks hard to me but maybe I'll get brave...lol. I was wondering, why are they called "New York Beauties?" I enjoy all your videos soooo much! Looking forward to the next one :)

[@ld5287]

Beautiful 🥰

[@KimberlySmith-pc7lj]

These paper pieces quits are very intimidating to me I've always loved the look. But have never tried. Thanks

[@lindalosier5989]

I'm doing a quilt along with Sugaridoo and she has a few rows that are paper pieced. It was a struggle at first and I hated it but after a few rows of blocks I enjoy them. They are kind of therapeutic.

[@missyh.redlilyquiltsoftx8656]

Any of the Dollar stores have doodle paper or art paper in a book where the children's coloring books are.

[@debrawitte8391]

some people use freezer paper...
