Just ordered that adorable quilt. So glad I found your channel. You are a wonderful teacher and I love your happiness and enthusiasm. You’re adorable! Keep it up.
You make it look so easy. That's what I need, easy. Complicated is so not friendly to my brain. Wonderful pattern when I can, I will purchase your pattern. Thank you. :)
Sometimes when I have sashing and cornerstones, I sew sashing and a stone on each block and then just sew those units together. I have to be mindful of edge blocks etc that may need to be constructed differently. I don’t have to handle the bulk of the quilt as much this way. I love that there are so many ways to get from A to B. This pattern is so fun!
Maybe I missed it but another reason I add sashing is that it often eliminates the need to match up seams between blocks! Another great video, Miriam, and the quilt is looking awesome! I can’t wait to start mine in few weeks!!!
I came on to say the cornerstones make lining up your rows hassle free. Another great video, Miriam. I'm the one who didn't pay attention to the orientation of my blocks. I was only paying attention to be sure I had alternating colors. So you might want to remind those of us who get so excited about putting it all together that the blocks have an up and down. I quilted mine today. Binding goes on tomorrow!
@@donnaborg5636 yes!! Hi, Donna 👋 that’s a good point about making sure the blocks are orientated correctly hehehe though yours just has an added design element! 🤓👏🏻
I was sending to a video I watch and she was sick. This video of yours came up and I did not know it. I am sorry it was not meant for you. Thank you @@StitchObsessed
I was looking for a free motion quilting mentor when I landed on your channel and haven't looked back. You offer so much more than I thought I needed or wanted. Putting all that along with your philosophy and sweet demeanor is pure joy. You're the best! Thank you!
I like the effect of sashing in a quilt but have anxiety of trying to align the corner stones to the vertical sashing. To get around this I find it easier to build the sashing into the block creation. It does take a little more planning ie how many right and bottom, right only, bottom only etc. but I like the planning part of quilt construction. Thanks for a great video Miriam.
Great Video! Your pattern is sweet! I would have joined you in making it but I have so many WIP’s I dare not start a new quilt if you know what I mean 🙃 I love the fact you’re making it in solids that’s something you rarely see in an all over quilt top! Very nice 😍💯 And I love sashings and corner squares for enlarging a quilt I used wide strips in my blue and white Colorado quilt top if you remember and it just called for it but some quilts call for the more narrow strips like yours. 🥰 I also like sashings to break up the quilt pattern so it doesn’t all run together like you said but that depends on the design. Either way it’s all up to the designer 😉😍
Exactly! I love all the different ways you can add sashing and play around with the look of a quilt 🥰 and girl, I totally know what you mean by having too many WIPs 😂😂
I see your two color ways for the two blocks and think, yuck, I would never put those colors together. But oh my gosh, your quilt is absolutely perfect. The colors work so well, they enhance each other and the feeling of your quilt is calm and restful. Sign me up. As you can probably tell I am color challenged . Are your fabric selections listed anywhere? I can be like a stalker sometimes, I try and make the quilt exactly how it looks in the pattern. Because if I like it, I know I can’t mess it up with my choices.
Haha!!! 😂 I totally know what you mean! I love mixing colors that at first you wouldn’t think would go together. Here is a list of the Moda Bella Solids I used: Fabric A: Bronze Fabric B: Caramel Fabric C: Earth Fabric D: Peach Blossom Fabric E: Melon Fabric F: Longhorn Sashing: Almond Borders and Cornerstones: Chocolate Background: Ivory Thanks for much for watching!! 💖💖
@@StitchObsessed Thank you for your list of fabrics, I took a screenshot. Memory is also not a strong point. Just found your channel, needing to go back and watch everything. Watching from Texas.
I also love to add sashing but as a relatively new quilter, I’ve found matching the seams from the unsashed block challenging-if that makes sense. So the seams in the pre-sashed block form a continuous line across the sashing (though an imaginary line across the sashing). Do you have any tips for achieving this? I’ve tried pins to mark where the seams are on either side of the sashing or even chalk marks. But all of that is time consuming.
Question. When you are sewing the sashing to your blocks, does it make a difference to pattern/block end result if you place the sashing piece to be sewn on top of the block and sometimes you have the block on top of the sashing piece. I hope that makes sense. You mention to be careful to not have seams go differently from how they were pieced - so wondered if placing the block on top of sashing so I can keep an eye on the seams would be something to try and do always?
Yeah, I think that makes sense! No, that shouldn't matter. I totally understand that you would want to keep an eye on those seams when you are adding the sashing.
