I've created a new playlist for this project - Red Scrappy Quilt

[@mvc9871]

One video of Kate is like one hour of therapy, and it is free!

[@barbaragesell4888]

Love you and your know how

[@MLucyLuna]

My opinion is that the color Sashing should be black. The pink and red would pop very nicely

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

too late! did you watch on? xxxxx

[@mishti06]

Say what you will, but I am CONVINCED that Norma was a celebrity in her past life. I just love her to bits and the way that she needs to be front and centre for every video. Don't worry, I have the same...its a whole different skill set to learn quilting with cats 😆 It just wouldn't be a last homely house video without her. She is a true star 😍.....of course her cat mum is too. Much love xo

[@lucillebarnes7327]

I think that a very pale grey sashing could go very nicely with pinks. I love your videos. Regards from Argentina. Lucille Barnes

[@karenkoutsoumbaris6308]

I’m loving this, so much freedom in the doing of it. Kate Thankyou so much , I wish I could visit the north of England to join you for a cup of tea! Wonderful quilting

[@granmarene]

I live in Kentucky USA. I love your videos I love you and I love your Homestead when you drive into that small town it is so wonderful. The quietness of the roads and small community I just love it I would love to live somewhere like that keep sharing your videos and blessed people thank you so much

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

well - aren't you lovely! Thank you! I really do enjoy living here - it has a really comfortable feel to it - the area I mean - I go tot the post office often and the staff there are so friendly it tales me ages! xxx When the weather is better I'll drive more and film it. its on the list! xxx

[@pennyg156]

Morning kate! I'm a 60 's flower child so the pink and green look good to me. Have great day. Thanks for filming.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

thank goodness for the 60's! the more colour the better! xxx

[@lauriwasson-woodard601]

I am so happy when I see other quilters with their four-legged assistants!

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

I don't think you can be a quilter if you haven't got a cat can you ? its the rules! xxx

[@MyDaisy66]

Oh this is lovely. All those beautiful colours. I love the green behind all those pinks and reds, it makes them stand out more. If you have a memory for all those pieces of fabric, maybe you can call it your scrappy memory quilt 🙂 You really do have a happy, colourful mind Kate. We never know what we’re going to get on your channel. It’s always a wonderful surprise 🌹 Thank you.

[@sherrybuskirk6312]

Little tinies could be ironed onto fusible interfacing then topstitched all over like a crazy quilt square. Makes nice zippered pouches or tissue holder gifts as well as gorgeous quilts etc 😊👍

[@montraclements6988]

I like the white background. It makes it pop!

[@auntmayme8119]

Ahhh! The Mile-a-Minute block. Such a fun way to use up scraps. It appears you and I have the same machine. One of my two Janomes, along with four Singers, and two overlockers. And yes, my hand is up. I buy ironing board cover fabric at the thrift store when they have fabric shower curtains. One curtain will make about three covers.

[@katecramer9962]

I just love looking at your colorful squares Kate. Just all so gorgeous! Crumb quilting one of my favourite to do

[@elizabethsawyer5906]

I love scrappy quilts. I have just finished a strip block quilt made with strips of my scrap fabrics and like you I recall everything I have made when looking at it. I think you could continue the red theme by using Dark red for the sashing although I do quite like the white as well. I am not keen on the green but all the blocks look so very pretty I am sure it will turn out great. Thank you for sharing.

[@patricia753]

Oh Kate, Thank you!! I Love your tutorials, and your beautiful creativity! And I am a cat Lover too! ❤🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛👍👍🌞

[@judithtaylor6916]

Have never made or done quilting.. But you have given me the bug to make a quilt. But I dont have any scrap material. Hubby said Oh no. Perhaps I shouldnt go down that rabbit hole. As I have a wool stash to get rid of first. But, I might buy pre-cut squares as Spotlight have LOTS.

[@elizabethgardner5207]

I have just finished some curtains using scrappy blocks, for my bedroom to try to keep warm this winter. Love that your fabrics bring good memories of the things you've made. Mine do too. My scrappy squares have a shadow border and then a cheery yellow sashing. I should have used a narrower sashing though, because my room is very bright all of a sudden. Oops 🙂 Thanks for your company on YT.

[@lindawitherspoon446]

I wish we were neighbors. You are just my kind of person. I love all the things you do. I have been quilting since 1984. Made lots of quilts and hand quilted most of them. Ruined my hands. I’m 10 years older than you and the memory thing kinda sneaks up on you. Getting old is not for sissies. The quilt is looking great. Love all the fabrics. Going to be so pretty. I like the green sashing.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

getting old is not for sissies - I need that on a t shirt! ha ha!!! we are sort of virtual neighbours! xxxxx

[@lindawitherspoon446]

I love the “virtual neighbors “. We have so much in common. You are a great teacher. I was a second grade teacher, 23 yrs. I do quilting, punch-needle, cross stitch, paper art in a journal, gardening and a profound love of animals. I have 3 cats and a dog. Have always had animals. That’s why I think we would be great friends. As you say, virtual friends. So thankful I found your channel.

[@judymannering8091]

You are a joy to watch! You are the kindest and talk as if we are sitting with you! Thank you! I live in rural southern Ohio and I also have chickens! ❤️

[@carolfoust8118]

Love the red and pink...my personal favorites. I think it would look amazing with aqua sashing. That combination is always so eye-catching.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

another fabulous suggestion - I am going to make a not of them all in my 'quilting notebook' (which sounds more organised than it really is) and try each one! xx thanks

[@karinb57]

Lovely, I can't wait to see what it turns out like. I'm still knitting socks. I figured I'd do a bunch so I won't forget. Usually when I learn something new I repeat it several times so it gets in planted in my brain. If I do it only once I don't remember the next time I try. It's funny because when I do try something new everyone around me ends up with it. Crocheted hats and shawls, knitted hats, little Crocheted stuffed animals, and now socks. I made so many of the stuffed animals I decorated the Christmas tree with them last year. I'm sure my husband thinks I'm a gonner. 😀 I don't care though, it's fun!

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

well - if you're a gonner - I want to go to where you are - there we will find our people! socks - I completely agree - I make socks in the way I do most things - obsessively - I made everyone I love (six people) socks one christmas - that's 12 socks. thing is - I only decided I would do it in December! I remember my youngest son unwrapped a ball of wool and I knitted his during the christmas holiday! ha ha!!!!!

[@shirenen8807]

I think that black or grey sashing would-be SO striking with your pink and red 4" squares!!

[@stitch54]

Just discovered you! You are simply delightful and fun to watch. Your cat is charming as well! I have a lot of catching up to do. Thanks for all you share!

[@sead705]

I too just found you and love watching you Kate! I also found your Last Homely Garden KZbin piece about your pond

[@Cindy1GS]

I 💖 you. I ❣️you’re ironing board cover! I 💗 every last bit of your house. We are 2 months apart in age & you give me so much inspiration!!!

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

hello - 63 is rather wonderful! my house is very messy - I only film the bits that aren't! ha ha!!! thank you for such a lovely comment! xxx

[@esthergriffin414]

Hi, this is Esther from Wisconsin. I simply love watching your channel. Your style of quilting is refreshing! I really hate playing by the rules. LOL I know you like pink and green but if you did a black back round the red and pink would really pop.

[@maiafelidae]

The fairies might be responsible for dropping me here because they new I would fall in love with this lovely lady, here adventurous cats, silent sewing machine and adorable ironing cover, and last but not least, her yummylicious scrap quilt. I love cottage looking scrap quilts, but I would totally go bohemian chic gypsy sensual on your quilt and fill it with red, red, red and more red! Lol! Anyway, whatever color you choose, your quilt will still look stunning.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

hello lovely lady! you are most welcome! red is shuffling to the top of the list for me too - I look forward to explain what I'm doing in the next video about this- but I'm going to need 100's more blocks! ha ha!!! xxx

[@sharonarrendale8418]

Candida I so agree! I sit and watch video after video. I just fell in love with this precious lady.

[@mandybiddle2001]

[@gisellejones1139]

I'm just watching your first scrappy quilt video from 2 years ago...the pink and red I just finished my own first scrappy and it turned out really nicely...here's hoping you did get a new ironing board cover...lol

[@cathysinor4743]

Had to have my Kate fix today, getting settled in.. when i looked up i thought you were wearing a fur coat . It was your lovely cat😅

[@kayiles475]

I love love listening to you and the lime green sofa is very cozy.

[@dianneeverett1633]

Black or white small pattern. Love your blocks.

[@bettykasischke3665]

Hi, Kate! So glad I found you! Even cut me some paper squares to make a EPP dog...once I've bound the king size quilt for my cousin. On this side of the pond what you're doing is also called crumb piecing. It's so much fun not to worry about cutting things perfectly or sewing perfect quarter-inch seams. Love what you're doing with your pinks and reds. Gotta get back to my own crumb box. Love to Norma, Prudence, Rita, and Sadie. :-)

[@elizabethvallely4044]

i have never made a quilt would love to make one someday, love the colours the red and pink I love red! Love watching you and listing to you talk you are a beautiful nice lady! Thank you for sharing! Hugs Liz .

[@Belle-dg5uq]

Oh you are lovely! I would have voted for black w/white polka dots for a sashing, if you insisted on having it! Happy quilting! Wonderful, inspiring! LOVE to all!

[@jennygee9849]

I think orange sashing would be interesting...my ironing board cover is the same so I just throw a sarong on it & take it off when not ironing as my black cat likes to sit there ( & leave her fur behind)...Norma's gorgeous

[@lisaabramovic5463]

Maybe the softest baby pink for the background colour. It would make your lovely colourful blocks pop!💗

[@ncarnelos7549]

Thanks Kate! When I saw all those scraps, I thought, if Kate doesn't know what to do with them, what hope do I have? So happy you figured it out...

[@JudedirectStudio]

Kate, those blocks are gorgeous already! What a fantastic quilt this will be. :)

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

I hope so! I made a lot more today - it is very addictive! xxx

[@Saucyakld]

Dropped mine off at the Women Jail! They are teaching the inmates how to see and the first one the learn in a scrap quilt. I was amazed when I saw some! Ribbons, laces, all found a place. Love your cat, looks like mine xxxxx

[@annecraig9909]

Love your videos Kate....I'm a beginner quilter and your relaxing style is brilliant. I also love your cats. 👍😁

[@papercents]

Such pretty scraps! I've been working off & on with scrappy blocks as well (6 1/2 inch squares). So relaxing but yet stimulating! What a beautiful blending of colors you have. So nice of you to give Robin of RsIslandCrafts a shout out - that's where I found out about your channel a few months ago; she had commented how much she enjoyed watching your videos. And I must say I really enjoy watching your videos too! I'm new to quilting & am really enjoying it, so I have a lot to learn, but that's part of the fun, always learning. I'm not a fan of sewing very much with black - a bit difficult for me to see, but I do like the look of it. Thank you for posting & sharing your videos! Happy sewing!

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

you're right - it IS part of the fun! and that is what it is all about - unleashing your creative JOY!! I hope you continue to experiment and have fun! xxxx

[@busybeaver793]

Hello Kate - I see you have decided on a crumb quilt. I see a lot of pinky purple in the blocks along with orange. (aside from the red/pink) Either the purple or orange would make a lovely sashing. Good luck deciding. Yes your ironing board looks quite used along with your cutting mat.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

I don't look after my cutting mat like I should (hangs head in shame) but the ironing board cover is years old - I need to make a new one pronto! I've spent all day making 4 inch squares - its very addictive! xxx

[@cathyphegley7848]

So I’m watching this July 2024 and I’m in the midst of making my “Terry” quilt and thinking how down the line all those scraps will be fodder for your own Terry quilt. And I think a T-shirt that sez “wonky is good” would be appropriate attire on the LGS🤣

[@lynnel1503]

Kate, lol, your ironing board cover looks like every other quilter/sewers in the world. A tip from a fellow quilter that I have been doing is to lay a piece of flannelette on the ironing board and press the pieces and blocks on that. What a difference it makes. Making crumb quilts is one of my favourite things. Enjoy!

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

an excellent tip - I made that cover years ago - I really do need a new one - all that spray starch takes its toll. But a flannelette covering - sounds perfect! xxx

[@laurenehorsnell9002]

Dear Kate, I really love your videos. Can't wait for each new one you make. I am not avery good cook, but do like your cooking videos. 🤗

[@lynnlange9874]

I have a little notebook of folks I watch/stumble across and want to remember...it's not your old age brain...there's so many wonderful things to see that we can't keep up! I love Robin at RSIsland crafts...her adding machine scrap keeper is my favorite thing ever! I love how much Norma loves you and how your hand just naturally goes to stroke her....LOVE the pinks, Kate!!!

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

I can't remember if you have the book about Norma? she is making up for lost time - never leaves me alone! I love it. In a future video I hope to find the till roll - than I can make some of that stuff too! its very addictive! xxx

[@lynnlange9874]

Yes, I DO have the lovely book and it makes me love her even more!

[@annemaguire657]

Hi Kate, this is the video that I first stumbled upon your channel (a few years back), been hooked ever since, love Robin too, she’s so funny and a tad haphazard like myself :)

[@lindadaley7469]

I have just happened on your channel and I love your scrappy quilt that you are making. I also love your kitty quilting helper! I have a cat helper that likes to help me quilt, knit and crochet.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

I have to hide my knitting from one of the cats because she likes to chew my (wooden) needles - she has ruined loads! xxx Sadie!

[@wendibridge3577]

Hi Kate, just found you and I can't believe how we are so much on the same page. I have just started my 'crumb' quilt journey the same way you did but I am doing yellow and blue. Originally from the North of England I know live near the coast in Victoria Australia. I reckon the blue and yellow is because I live near the beach, lucky me. Love from Downunder, btw we are hot and sticky here so the ironing part has to be later in the day.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Hello! the North East of England! what a long way from home you are! I can't imagine having to put off the ironing because its too hot!!! greetings from your natal home! xxx

[@wendibridge3577]

Thanks Kate. A bit cooler today so I could catch up with my blocks. So happy to be one of your people. Love Wendi

[@jokemooy5364]

They come out great. Oh I love your jumper a real quilters one lots of threads on it .

[@FiberJourney]

I had watched several quilts being made "scrappy", "crumb" or whatever. On my front page in youtube, there was a shot of you doing another and so I clicked. YAY Yours is so wonderful. Up till this moment I was not impressed with scrappy quilts as most were too chaotic for my taste. I look forward to your next video. And thank you for not being fussy :-)

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

How lovely! I really enjoy how these connections are made between like-minded folk all over the world - I am slowly finding My People! xxxx

[@carmenheverly5236]

I absolutely love your creative process ,it is fun to watch and listen to .

[@willowhilldesigns7]

Hi Kate, I love seeing the opening of your videos with the duck flying across the water. I’d love to live there! I also love your blocks. I’d use gray for sashing.....well really almost any color would look pretty with your blocks, you just need the right hue. I think that green is just off somehow.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

yes - that green is wrong - I will try everything I've got - there's no rush - and yes - thank you - I do so love living here xxxx

[@jeansuk1]

👍 second time I've watched this wonderful quilt making always a delight xx

[@patriciamarshall4884]

I love watching you Kate. You are very interesting and I love your home. Your home is very homey 💗

This was posted on the month that started my voluntary lock down. Better safe than sorry.....and sure enough, I'm still here! Thankfully you are tool :-)

[@dawnlunn2405]

Thankfully many of us are still here enjoying the adventures of Kate!

[@yvonneiversen8749]

Amazing use of scraps. It's going to be interesting to see what you create and what color you choose for sashing I personally like the green but that makes it more Christmas like.

[@user-bs3kz9us1k]

Recently found you and watch A LOT! From Nancy in Missouri USA.

[@twyla2575]

What fun!!! The kitty wants to be in the mix also.

[@sylviapage8572]

After watching the last instalment first, I couldn’t work out how you did those scrappy squares but as usual it’s so much simpler when you see it done. Thanks as always for sharing your knowledge.

[@ritabrunetti381]

Today is 1/19/21. I have been following you for a short time. Found this old video, and now I need to search out the others that will show me the complete quilt. Thanks for having a fun channel!!

[@HarrietHensley]

I have been playing like Kate this weekend and instead of sewing I have been coloring and watercolor painting....I needed a break to renew my sewing enthusiasm .... watching you this morning has helped a lot too..... I love scrappy quilts and have not considered using same colors but thinking that was would be a fun change.... thanks for the inspiration ....

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

I do like painting so much - but I am not very good at it - this is like painting with fabric - there really are no rules - I'm loving it! I've got over 100 now! xxx

[@winnieg100]

I love your colors and patterns. Very artistic and creative

[@florencechin9009]

I just love & enjoy your video Your tutorials is very clear. Glad I'v subscribed to your channel. Keep up the wonderful sharing. Tq, Kate. Love from Malaysia.

Hello Kate I'm a brand new subby. This was recommended for me to watch today. I'm so glad I did. I love the idea of making quilts never done it my grandmother did. I will follow along for this journey it sounds like fun. Your house is darling from what I could see. And so is the kitty. I look forward to more fun videos from you. Stay crafty.❤xo💜xo💙xo💛xo💖xo💚

I’m just watching this video in 2022. What a great quilt you could make for your granddaughter. Hope it’s what you did with it if you finished it 😊

[@scottpenaluna5330]

Howdy!!! It was very nice to hear back from you. Interesting to hear about your childhood memories of the Lane near your Dad,s house. No worries about your sash selection. My point of view via the UTube viedo can be different from what you can actually observe in person. After all it is your creation. Can't wait to see the finished project. 😺👩‍🎤 Signing off Scott's wife Vickie

[@yvonnestyhr8308]

How about a new and pretty ironing board cover??? I love the idea of pink and red scrappy quilt. So attractive.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Yay! Robin and Bonnie! Snowing here in British Columbia as well and I'm on my lunch break at work. Have a fastastic day.

[@lornamikkelson5690]

New subbie from Wisconsin. I used to make "whip" quilts many years ago. (Whip em up on a wim).You are so inspiring to me. I need to get back to my machine and do a few quilts. I want to try this for sure. Thanks for sharing.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

whip en up on a whim - perfect for this quilt! you are very welcome! xxx

Lol not too bad down here in Newfoundland we do have nice days for walking

well - stay warm! scarves/hats/gloves! xxx

[@dcl1339]

turquoise sashing would look stunning, I think !!

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

teal/turquiose has been suggested and sounds really good - I'm going to try a few in a future video ... xxxxx

[@rosaliecovello441]

You have probably figured it all out by now, but black looks phenomenal with red or pink plus so does grey. Have fun, you are such an inspiration. Thanks

[@theresemair587]

What a great project, Kate! A good way to be productive over the winter before the garden wakes up. I need to find a project, too, instead of wasting the long winter days when going outside is not my first choice. Thank you for your inspiring videos!

[@trishawalsh9102]

Hello Kate, Hello Norma yr looking so gorgeous today. 😻 I think a purple background would look lovely with all those pinks & reds but having said that, you have a far better eye for colour matching than I’ll ever have, I’m afraid I’m 1 of those dreaded people who love black, greys, whites, creams and purples, I love watching how you make scraps of material turn into the most beautiful quilts and window hangings, they all look amazing 🤗

[@amyohl5037]

Still today Oct 17th 2022. Nice to see Norma.thank 🥰

[@smallfootprint2961]

I'm still looking for the older TLHH videos that I haven't seen, and loved this one. So relaxing to watch this and take on your 'no need to rush' attitude. Those little scrappy blocks are wonderful. So heartwarming. Wondering what color you used as sashing, if you got back to it. If not, I see a pretty lavender that would make a pretty soft sashing in contrast to the bright colors. Maybe I can find a video where you get it going. I'll be watching. I do so love your videos.

[@cheryl8280]

haha!!! I JUST said red!!! How's that for great minds. I love scrap quilts but I'm so OCD, the blocks look contrived. I want scrappy! I guess I'll just have to throw caution to the wind and have fun. Your's is so beautiful. Love all the colour. I'd love to see the progress. Just pop it into the odd video so we can keep up with you. LOL Have a great day, Kate!!

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

I will Cheryl - it seems everything I do becomes a series! I think this will too - It's only going to happen because i can't get into the garden - once the spring is here it will be all about the garden and less about the crafts! But that is still a long way off! xxx

[@thatgirlinokc3975]

I was thinking you could go brighter with an orange or yellow. I'm sure whatever you decide will be beautiful! 💚

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Margaret (below) had a great idea - I might give it a try - but now I like the idea of orange too! so many experiments! don't look for it any time soon though!! xxx

[@riverunner9978]

What a sweet project ! Love your videos.

[@towergricel]

I would use a cream color shashing. Soooo pretty!

[@dorothyzorn4828]

I like the wonky ones too !! I have always done the muslin sashing but a color would be nice, it's the deciding that's hard isn't it... can't wait to see the finished product.... thanks for sharing.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Once I am committed to a colour there is no going back - so I'll audition all the suggestions and we'll see what works best! xxx

[@cwfan2]

Hi from Missouri USA! My ironing board cover is an old bath towel. It stays in place and when it gets icky I just throw it in the washing machine.

[@northernkarma9296]

I really enjoyed this one Kate. You are a very good teacher. I'm cutting pieces of paper now for a quilt made out of old flannel jammies and shirts.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

thank you! I have taught various things all my life - I think I just like talking!! xxx (ask my kids!) xxx

[@wendybellhouse5731]

A lovely visit my friend ❤️ your creativity is beautifully inspiring

[@roseswalls3468]

I really like that green behind the blocks, but also think gray or yellow would be pretty...so many shades of any of them, you will have a hard choice. I have made 3 or 4 crumb quilts and have enough blocks to made at least one more.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

I am no longer sure that I will make much of an impression on this huge stack of scraps! so maybe another one (or two) quilts are in my future! xxx

[@mamas_quilts3573]

You're so fun, Kate! Hi Norma💝

[@TheatreAbsolute]

Thanks for this Kate, I watched it before a while back but am now creating a scrappy quilt but it wasnt working for me so by chance I re watched this and am now going to maybe do 6 inch scrappy/wonky to free it all up a bit. Julia x

[@sharonarrendale8418]

I just found you. I’ve been wanting to quilt. I love the colors that you are using. Can’t wait to see it when you have it finished.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

so happy you found me! welcome! xxx

[@joenperkins2138]

Wonderful new series. Doing the happy dance. I have two drawers by my sewing machine full of scraps. It looks like a tornado ripped through my sewing room. A very light pink would be nice or a dark red. I know you have a vision. I always have to audition the shashing. Happy sewing.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

auditioning sashing - that's exactly what I'll be doing - for now though - with them only being 4 aches I need to make a LOT more ! xxx

[@lynnemartin2291]

Scrappy quilts are the best. I love being able to use a lot of scraps. Although scraps multiple in the night, like bunnies. I call these free fall fun quilts Picasso inspired. I can imagine him rolling over!!!!

[@maryfennell9672]

Fantastic! Good to have a scrappy on the go, its such fun putting all the fabrics together. Will look forward to seeing this progress on and off, its my kind of sewing! Your ironing board cover is pretty much like mine, well used!

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

nice to know I'm not alone - cruelty to ironing board covers - it's our crime! xxx

[@sharonalberts2012]

a 1 inch sashing and 2 inch white boarder followed by a 4 or 5 inch boarder would look great. The red and pink would really pop beside the white.

[@margiesteininger3344]

my choice would be a sage green sashing - would love to see your finished quilt

[@scottpenaluna5330]

Hi, just love listening to you. I found you to be very relaxing. I adore shades of pink. I am responding to your request for your Shasing or background fabric. I studied the various 4. Inch squares and I have found that I am leaning to and very much like the purple that I see in a majority of your squares. I am of the. Conclusion the purple Background would carry the " wacky. " patterns of your squares and provide an individual Strength and beauty to your project Enjoy your journey. And the peaceful work it can bring. I also am a human who loves my four legged fur person. Well, here's to the finished project. Signing off Scott's wife Vickie 🙋‍♀️

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

well hello Scots wife! this reminds me of a road near my Dad's place called .... Ralph's Wife's Lane which always makes me laugh! I am editing the quilt video today and I hope you won't be too mad at me! but thank you for your considered suggestions! xxx

[@carolirvine3367]

Instead of sashing each little block you could join 4 together to make a larger block and sash that, I like the idea of a soft grey sashing. Your blocks are really pretty.

Carol Irvine you have just said the best thing ever! I was thinking the squares were too fiddly and small. Putting four together will make each one finish at 7.5 inches. With a 2inch (finished ) sashing that would make for a wonderful quilt! That is a terrific idea. I’m going to give it a try Thank you so much! (Game changer!) xxxxxxxx

Piano key piecing.... remember to make very SMALL stitches or when you pull off the paper, the paper bits will be hard to pull off and the seams will shred, and you'll have to do it over. I made miles of it and was so disappointed. With very careful pulling off the paper, the pieces of cloth were "basted" with partial bits of remaining seams so the RE-sewing wasn't too hard. Remember to press each and every bit as well. By the time I got the bits apart, the un-pressed cloth bits "grew" quite a lot. I ended up with more than I thought. Extra work, but it ended up really nice. I'll do it again with tiny stitches and be happier. ))) Yes crumb quilts are great fun. No measuring, no thinking, just play. I fell in love with your red star quilt.

18:20 You know how you use that scrappy bit to start a line of sewing on your machine? Bonnie Hunter calls that a leader or ender, as she always ends a line of sewing with a scrappy bit. Well, she's taken it a step further. Instead of using a scrappy bit, she would sew 2 pieces of fabric together... In your case 2 pink or red strips as her leader or ender. Just set up a small stack beside your machine and pull from it when ever you need a leader or ender. Surprising people who do this can make a whole quilt in a year by just sewing strips together as a leader or ender whilst working on their main project. Give it a try and let us know what you think. Sending lots of love 💝 from sunny ☀Arizona 🌵 USA

Thank you for the shout out! Spending the afternoon sewing scraps together is so relaxing. These type of blocks are my favorite because there are no hard rules. As long as they don’t fall apart you can sew them anyway you wish. I love wonky blocks too. You have lots and lots of pink and red scraps. What about an aqua for the sashing? I do like your idea of making the sashing scrappy also. You have plenty of time to decide.
