Great video, thank you for sharing something so personal, and great tips anyone can use.
Adorable! Let us know how it turned out after quilting!!🧵
I still think the quilt top is lovely and to me the wonkiness doesn't ruin it
I love the wonkiness too. Because it is so wonky, it can’t be finished without a million puckers. Makes me sad, but it is a beautiful quilt top nonetheless. Unfortunately it will forever be just a quilt top. 😕 Thanks so much for watching and sharing!
Great tips. Very simple quilt and a great use of a layer cake.
I have never thought to fussy cut the corner stones, I will have to keep that tip in mind. I really like the quilt, simple but effective for a great snuggle quilt.
Thanks, Kris!
Love June Taylor products. Came out so pretty. I’m glad you left the oopsies in, I’m not a beginner but I teach young girls to quilt using videos. You can tell them that everyone makes them, but nice for them to see, we all do and that’s ok! Thank you!
Could the timing be any better?! May just steal this idea this very day! Thanks Kris
Great tips thanks
Thanks for making this video. I can identify with everything you said!
You are soooo smart!
I’m not a fan of actual camping but I love the motif
Thank you for sharing this tutorial! I’ve been considering this fabric line to make a couple of quilts for our camper, as the colors in this collection complement the furnishings. I’m so glad to have seen how the fabrics look together in a quilt! ❤
This is an idea with perfect timing! My niece and her family are arriving in three days. She has a three year old and one year old, we haven’t seen them since the big boy was a tiny baby. I have been cleaning my sewing area but still have my current project out, with pins in lots of rows- it’s a quilt as you go that I am improvising. I now know what I will be doing to it tonight! And then it goes into the school teacher tote that you convinced me to buy! I love the tote, although it arrived a day after a work day at a friend’s house! Thanks for what you do for us!
I love watching your demos so much!!! Thank you for sharing your time and talents ❤❤❤
I am curating sewing themed fabric. Your design should work perfectly. I haven't wanted to chop up the layer cake 😊
I’m so glad Missouri star supports you❣️
This was very helpful. I need more organized and efficient
Love this it is adorable I think the 10th and trees would be cute or if you had animals quilted on it so probably long arm unless you’re good at that
Woodgrain
That would be amazing! Thank you!
I have ADHD and quilting calms me. But having said that I have a hard time staying organized and focused. I have over 100+ WIPS. The most creative people I know have ADHD. You are in good company
I know what you mean. I hope these tips helped you, especially the booklet. It has been a game changer for me. ❤️
Love the tip about wrapping the strips around the comic boards and numbering them. And the graft paper to random your colors when you don’t have a large design wall.
Thank you! So glad it is helpful! ❤️
ADHD is your super power…. We love you!!
Awww! Thank you! 🥰
I would finish it with a stipple stitch
I would but I’m terrible at it. I am good at loops, however. Maybe that?
@@SewtheDistance That could work ... I think of loops as curved and fun, so that would work. The stipple always reminds me of curves and country roads/forest trails. It reminds me of the quilting on the blankets we slept under at our babysitter's during our naps ... I was about five years old, and I remember distinctly remember trying to trace those "roads" .... I never solved the "puzzle" because I fell asleep! LOL
Oh, I love that! I need to practice stippling. It would look great on it!
@@SewtheDistance The hardest thing I have with stippling is relaxing! I have control issues ... I find freedom in the loops, but if I don't let go of the control, my stippling gets smaller and smaller. Most times, I have to speed up my motion to overcome the control possibility. I have to remind myself often to "open up!" If that makes sense. My mental attitude is most of the stunting. LOL
Very basic quilt, but the corner stones made it pop.
Yes! I wanted to show a basic quilt, especially for beginners. The star is the corner stones. A nice mix for everyone. I hope you enjoyed it! ❤️
Beautiful. I would quilt it myself. Thank you for this video. Lot of great tips
Thank you! So glad you like it! ❤️
I was so glad to see your presentation! Like you, i have found quilts within quilts, and i have always picked them apart, so at least i could evaluate whether or not i could use BOTH quilts, and i often can. I enjoy finding these! Just always reminds me how frugal the makers of tnese were, not to consider throwing anything out until i had been used completely. Excellent work... i look forward to seeking out more of your episodes! 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The biggest surprise is there are THREE quilts in this one! Amazing! Such a find!
Love it!! What a great idea usinlg the comic book boards to store rows until you can get it together. One of my favorite quilting designs is a meander that looks a little like moving water. It's quick and looks really good on quilts and it's kind of masculine feeling. Thanks for sharing a great quilt idea.
Thank you! So happy you love that tip! It is a great way to organize those rows and keep them nice and flat. I really struggle with a meander, believe it or not! I can't seem to get the hang of it. I am great at loops and swirls. Maybe I just need to try again. Thanks for the idea!
LOVE IT !!! Brings me back to being in Girl Guides as well...(canadian). I'm not confident with larger quilts doing the quilting. I think I'd opt for a long armer. Depends on your confidence level with big quilts.
Thank you! It is a fun quilt! I think I am going to have it longarmed. The plan is to drop it off this week! Yay!
This is a great idea for a quilt… and the dashing could be so many complimentary colors depending on the layer cake!! Thank you for your great ideas!!!
You are so welcome! YES! So many possibilities! So happy you love this! Thank you for watching and sharing!
That fabric is so pretty! Thank you for another great tutorial!
You are so welcome! I love how this turned out, too! I want to make another! 😆
I love the one with the blue center
Such a wonderful video! You’re a very explicit teacher!!
Awww! Thank you so much! You are so sweet!
I'd take it to the long armer as well-- and then I might do some big stitch hand quilting through the center of the sashing in bright olive or aqua to add a rustic look. This is so beautiful and fun!
Oh! I love that idea! Thank you!
I’m making 2 memory quilts out of the parents cotton clothing and I’m going to use this pattern for the man. I love vintage quilts
YAY! So happy to hear that! I love that this quilt has inspired your quilt! Thank you for watching and sharing!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for showing how to do a very doable quilt,but also more importantly all the tips and tricks of putting the quilt together🧵🪡
You are so welcome! So glad you love this! It is a fun one! Thank you for watching!

@@SewtheDistance , thank you!
Love this for a camping trip 😊
This would be perfect! 🥰
I love this quilt and fabric. As a glamper it will look beautiful in our camper. I also love your tips on the layout. I don't have a room where I can place a big layout board. Plus the tip on rolling the rows are fantastic!
Thank you so much! Glad this is helpful! 🥰
I have been hand quilting my quilts, straight line grids and find it therapeutic. The big squares would show off a camping or animal long arm motif. 😊💛🧡
Agree! I love hand quilting my quilts if I have the time and wrist feeling good.
Kristen, love this quilt. It just reminds me of going camping. Love, love the fabric
Thank you, great tips too❤
Glad it was helpful! 🥰
I would have it quilted by someone. Beautiful quilt.
Thank you! 🥰
Thank you! I have never been diagnosed with ADHD. I am 73 and both my adults children have it. But, all my life "I have been different ". I find that I do so many things that you do. I had to giggle when you spoke about the "pins"! Been there done that. Lol Quilting brings me peace ,joy and harmony. I just make it work. I have only been quilting about 7 years now. It was one of my "wishes". Thank you for your honesty!!
Fun camping quilt. I'm not sure of the spelling, Kris, but Kumbaya!
I am not sure how to spell it either, but same! That may need to be the name of the quilt! Love it! ❤️
Great quilt! I would take it to a long arm quilter. They have so many cute designs and since the blocks are not pieced, the quilted design will show up nicely. It deserves a fun quilt design on it!
Love the fabric, so pretty. Looks homespun with the plaids interspersed. I wood use yarn and tie it, either red or green. Great quilt!😊
Yes!
Hi Kris. Im so happy I found you through my search in YT. I love your sewing table and how it’s flushed. I dont know where to find a table like yours. Please help. I just gifted myself a new machine. I got a Juki dx5. Can you recommend me your table and where you b ought it? 😊😇🙏🏼
Hi! Thank you so much! I am glad you found me, too! 😀 The table in this video came with my Janome and unfortunately, I don't have any information about it. It doesn't have any markings or anything. I bought it at Blaine Sewing Machine Center in Rhode Island about ten or so years ago. As for my Juki, I used this table up until about a month ago: amzn.to/4eH042f I loved it, but it was a little low and hard to move around. Since I record videos, moving my machines is important. I ended up buying a SewEzi table and absolutely love it! I am thinking about getting another for my Janome. It is great! Hope this helps!
thank you for your so-very-clear instructions. what a fun quilt.
