What a coincidence, this is the 2nd " selveges" quilt I've seen today. See Sister Chicks Quilting for another.

[@joycebaker3798]

I have been collecting strawberry fabrics for many, many years.

[@bjoyp7463]

I really loved that you break it down and explain the block. And the label idea was fabulous!

[@nancywhitten2585]

Very nice of Karen!

[@PapercraftsbyCindyellen]

Strawberries!!! It's so nice to see you so excited. You just make me smile.

[@brendasamuelson6745]

"Have you Made a Red and White Quilt" ... I started a red and white sampler. I need to make a few more blocks for it and I will set it on point. Love the look of red and white.

[@momdad8806]

it is also world bee day!! Bee Happy!!!!

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

Oh my, the level of excitement is off the scale in this video! Thanks to Karen (Caren?) for letting us all see her Red Zinger.

[@candaceburns4788]

OMG!!!! I have never seen you this excited in all the years I have been watching you!!!!!!!!! I love it!!! and especially I love the quilt. Have a great weekend !!

[@marionanthony1530]

Your enthusiasm for all things quilt , jumped off the screen today . I am in the process of making a selvage quilt as 6 inch squares .Now I want to make the 'Red Zinger' version. Thank You

[@EllenLOlson]

Love Love Love this quilt. Awesome!!!!

[@katherineanderson8570]

The white would make a good signature quilt.

[@cindymcfarland4686]

I love the Strawberry quilt. It was so fun to make the Elephant quilt, also by Wendy. And the selvedge quilt is awesome!!

[@denisepineda1788]

That is great to see that quilt up close and personal. Thanks for sharing with us

[@noraharnett1842]

I just LOVE the star quilt using the panel!! Making this for my mom who LOVES blue birds!! Could not be more perfect for her. TY!!

[@jenelks1495]

The red zinger quilt is fabulous!! Got my pattern!! Thanks for the link!

[@lesleygilbert1945]

Lucky you - so happy for you :)

[@roseannecarratkinson4271]

Omgosh! I love the "Red Zinger" quilt. I have 7 years worth of selvages. I have been looking for patterns for them.

[@sonjadalglish6544]

So exciting to see the finished selvage quilt. Thank you

[@MomONineAZ]

I had no clue how you actually put the selvage blocks together. Way cool, and more fun than I thought. Too bad I only have a sandwich bag of selvages....once I get one more bag, I can try a mug rug. Thanks for sharing her selvage quilt. Just so unique. Glad you are going to show us a block, as it is fun to watch.

[@loridavison6672]

That sounds fun.

[@marykubicek5434]

Great quilt and such a gracious quilter to loan you her salvage quilt.

[@dotlewallen6565]

That is an AMAZING quilt. I want to do that, so I guess I better start cutting my selvage pieces.

[@lynneschultz316]

Thanks for sharing your JOY! 🥰

[@cecilybailey5720]

Selveges quilt is GREAT!!!

[@jshigginbotham2303]

Love, love, love that you are as excited as I am about quilting. I am jumping up and down with you. Lol

[@terrytt2932]

how's this for a coincidence?! Today while cutting blocks I found a 'double salvage' BOTH salvages had color squares (dots), 18 of them, but only one side had writing. It is A VIP Print, Cranston Print works Co. It is pepper fabric probably from late '90's or early 2000's. I'd never seen that before!

[@PatSloan]

That's a bonus!

[@debraholmes6290]

So excited to see the ORIGINAL Red Zinger quilt. How special! I know you will enjoy this quilt while it is in your possession! Thank you for sharing it & your enthusiasm for it too!!!

[@PatSloan]

I love it!

Strawberries! Can hardly wait!

[@jeannesnodgrass8073]

The red zinger quilt is beautiful! Very dramatic with great motion. Great to see this quilt!💕

[@lesa6399]

Red Zinger!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Amazing!

[@loridavison6672]

That quilt is so beautiful. I see a 3d effect. It's fun to see you playing with your selvage. 🤩

[@giselaa6111]

Wonderful quilt I think I have to start saving selvages🤪♥️

[@sharonrobinson9958]

Wow!! Love the selvage quilt!! Gorgeous!! I can’t wait to see yours, Pat!!❤️🥰😘

[@PatSloan]

Me too!!

[@debbiestorjohann3532]

Love the selvage quilt. It is so cool. Do not have many selvages but I need a label for a current quilt.....mmmmm. Indeed a happy friday!

[@tonibergquist61]

Red Zinger is absolutely gorgeous ♥️

[@SewtheDistance]

I am so glad I don't recycle my quilting magazines because I have this quilt pattern! I am sure it is amazing in person. Beautiful! And that strawberry block--so cute! Thank you for another amazing video!

[@PatSloan]

It really is!

[@marthademarco3211]

love that selvage quilt!

[@piccachu258]

Oh my gosh! I am excited just knowing you get to see the Red Zinger quilt up close! I have the pattern and am collecting selvedges! What an amazing design!

[@joyscranfield5527]

Really love the strawberry 🍓 quilt! Would like to find just the pattern or book it's in...gotta get stash sewen up. The zinger quilt is fantastic looking...think I'll start a selvedge collection! Enjoyed visiting with you today! See you tomorrow.

[@bellaannecgoff2335]

You always show us amazing things & inspire us ❤️❤️❤️

[@jolewis-brown6608]

Love the selvedge quilt - my mind is buzzing. Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@BAFriend4]

That quilt is amazing! Well everything you showed today was, but Karen's quilt is inspiring! I have some edges saved. I might have to pull them out and start building a quilt. I saw someone at guild once that made a large tote bag and I have never forgotten how cool it was. So many more UFOs to make. LOL

[@marlahanks7278]

Hi Pat! Wow, what an honor to have Karen send you her quilt!! I love it 💗 I ordered the pattern right after you mentioned it before & am looking forward to your tips & tricks, although it looks pretty straight forward.

[@merry3073]

What an awesome selvage quilt! Lots of ideas running round in my head.

[@gwensmith7024]

Wow, the selvage quilt is so cool! I really think I’m going to have to download that pattern and make it - I’ve been collecting selvages for many years but never found a project that I wanted to use them in. I’m looking forward to following along with you and hearing your tips, etc. I absolutely love the red - now I need to hunt down the perfect red - so fun!

[@kymburriss4260]

I can hardly wait for the strawberry sew along! That quilt is adorable

[@connieprince9718]

Love the idea of fabric selvedge on label - documenting is so important.

[@montanakath7987]

Pat, I’m trying to save up enough selvages to reupholster an antique chair. It has a gorgeous frame with claw feet and carved arms. I just think it will be so fun! Thanks for showing us the different ways to put them together.

[@conniemiks3962]

Love the quilt you show today it looks so fun . Have a great weekend 🌻🌻

[@PatSloan]

Thank you! You too!

[@sandycervenak9906]

Pat, that quilt on the wall is absolutely gorgeous! Love you, your videos and especially your laugh. 😀 ♥️

[@janrichardson8715]

I got so tickled watching you open the salvage quilt. I could feel your excitement. That quilt is amazing! So looking forward to the strawberry quilt along. Love your pattern!!! Have fun playing with your salvages.

[@tammychandler2247]

Pat you are like a little child on Christmas morning. Your joy and enthusiasm are contagious. Bless you and your friend for sharing with us.

[@vikkivanveldhuizen2290]

Wonderful Salvage Quick!!! I’ve been wondering what the excitement has been all about. Now I know. It’s great. 💕💕

[@bettiefrisby9844]

Such a dynamic quilt. Can't wait to see your journey creating your version.

[@8machines62]

I have the pattern. I’m ordering the yardage next week!

[@nettieanngill782]

Karen's quilts are awesome. Her patterns are so inspiring it was hard to choose just a couple of her patterns. I ordered the zinger quilt and another of Karen's patterns. I noticed she does the wave quilting on a few of her quilts. Love your videos.

[@PatSloan]

Wonderful!

[@sharonclass4133]

I just love your strawberry quilt. I can't wait to get your fabric and do this quilt together❤

[@carollatham926]

I would like to see the back of the sample blocks.

[@lindalosier5989]

I purchased the pattern today along with 2 of her other scrap quilt patterns. I don't know whether to say Thanks Pat!! or thanks Pat. Actually I'm excited to try all three. There a few more I liked too. I can't wait to watch you making your salvage quilt!!! The strawberry quilt brought back memories of my mother working in the strawberry fields in our town to make extra money. She would load us in the back of the station wagon & we would sleep while she worked in the field. She could pick pretty darn fast!!

[@AngiesQuilting]

It was so fun to see Karen's Red Zinger quilt! I'm sewing on mine now, and your tips on selvage placements were great! Love the strawberry quilt in your fabrics! So pretty!

[@marieabalos]

Yey, so cool!

[@ednadelaurelle970]

It looks like it could be a barn.

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

Thank you

[@terryblair966]

Thanks Pat! Such lovely quilts!

[@patblood6384]

It made me happy seeing you SO excited to see and feel and look at this fabulous salvage quilt. Your enthusiasm and genuine admiration of her work is truly an inspiration to all of us!

[@terryanderson5789]

I purchased this quilt pattern because of you Pat, Love the idea of the label with the selvages! You are both inspiring, thank you so much!!!🥳💕never thought of them being heavier, great tip👍

[@gwynwellliver4489]

I am so excited for you Pat!! It is so neat to see Karen's quilt "in person ". You are going to have so much fun making blocks. Thanks to everyone who sent you selvedges.

[@frontofficed.burnell-power6288]

That quilt made me excited about selvages. I've seen a lot of CUTE ones, but they were too cutsie. This one really does honour the art of the selvage and allows you some creativity in the process. I can see why you are so excited about getting started. I also see your subscriber numbers are creeping up. Good Job People! There is no place better to hang out with your morning coffee.

[@brendabiffibaldovino8306]

💗💗💗

[@brendamcclintic9157]

I did that quilt called "Diamonds are Forever" strip quilt. Turned out nice. I was surprised to see it out of selvages. Good luck with it. Can't wait!

[@teresatierney4817]

I posted to the Facebook group last night. I bet it has been 6 years or longer since I’ve been on Facebook.

[@bellaannecgoff2335]

It’s so amazing ❤️❤️❤️

[@nbc911]

Omg that quilt of Karen's is amazing!

[@lindadavis8082]

Love a Surprise!

[@AvivaHadas]

With that tonal green print that has buffalo on the selvage, you can take a tip from Debbie and top stitch right at the selvage - since the buffalo is the visual point of that selvage. instead of needing to be super careful with letting some of that 1/4 of green show. So it would be white with printing next to white with printing and no green in the middle - mix it up!

[@AvivaHadas]

The gray one near that white on black stitching but closer to the gray shows dots next to dots & you don't see any of the colors that should be present based on the pinks in the 12, 13, 14 dots. (12:21 in the video)

[@rebeccasewing]

That huge house block almost looks like it could be a group of townhouses.The selvage quilt is incredible. When you said you are planning to make one I couldn't imagine what that would look like. I'll be interested to see what you come up with. I have questions. How long was she collecting selvages? How long did it take to construct? If they are all HER selvages that must've taken a loooong time to get that many of them.

[@darlenepalmer9837]

Love love life that zinger Quilt. Since you have so many salvages. You could make your quilt as big as you want. I am excited to see yours. When you start it. I should save salvage edges too. But it would take me years to get enough. Ha ha I do have a ton of fabric.

[@dadisanelteacher7121]

I've never done a sew along before, but I'm wondering if it's too late to try and get on board with the strawberry sew along. You mentioned something about ordering the kits...I wasn't seeing where I would do that on your website. I suppose I'll wait for a future video discussing it! :) I also did FINALLY subscribe to your emails! WOOT WOOT! I was thinking I was already subscribed but I wasn't! That may answer a lot of my questions too! Have an enjoyable Monday!

[@lindadavis8082]

Good morning all!

[@cherylschuller2999]

I thought I had read somewhere that all the blocks in be my neighbor can be interchanged. The reason I'm asking is I have to introduce another roof fabric and I don't want it to be all in one area of the quilt. So basically, can I put block 10 where block one would normally go etc.

[@PatSloan]

i have not idea. the blocks are different sizes. look and see if some sizes repeat. You have all the patterns

[@JulsErazo]

So, the base, lets say red, its stitched on the back with the first salvage, but then all the salvages are sewn on the front?

[@jeanballiro5818]

Are we doing a sew along with the selvages? If so, do you know when?

[@PatSloan]

i do not know when I'll get to that project

[@susieeggleston9275]

Beautiful quilt!! Do you sew on the top side?
