Here's my MSQC affiliate link: glnk.io/mzmmj/sewthedistance Here's my blog for this one: www.sewthedistance.com/blog/just-one-layer-cake-crazy-quilt Just was made aware that my video sequencing at the end is out of order! Sorry about that! I did not trim the quilt before quilting it. I placed the voiceover and the video in the wrong place! Eek!

Congrats on your partnership with MSQC! If you ask me (and no one did lol) they are the lucky ones to have you. Your enthusiasm and excitement is something they are blessed to have. Please don’t loose your creativity and avidity for sewing and quilting; it is such a breath of fresh air. I would hate to see them put a bunch of parameters around in sending you items you have to work with or patterns you have to use. I hope we will still see your own creative patterns here in the channel. We all absolutely love watching you and now you’ll have the even broader audience that deserves you! ❤😊👍🏼

So sorry! I guess I spelled Weft wrong, too! I wish I could fix both, but the editing tool on KZfaq (post-publish) won't allow me even add text. Sigh. Oh well. Live and learn! And I must have watched that video 10 times before uploading it. Can't believe I missed that!

Such fun! If you want to go completely scrappy - and especially if accumulating pieces over time: put together a storage box with dividers based on the template pieces. When you have 20 or 30 or so of each, you're ready to start stitching.

Yay! So glad this is a bit freeing for you! I completely understand as I am married so someone like this. My husband is a woodworker and is the exact same way. In fact, he helped me line up the backing for this quilt and when I said, "Close enough!," he was upset that I didn't take out the seam and try again. The upside to being like this is that I am sure your work is impeccable! There's something to be said about that, too! ❤️

That's crazy gorgeous! I actually prefer the version without sashing; it's just so exuberantly chaotic, but then I do like color chaos 😉. Thank you for sharing your whole process. A couple observations: First, the crosswise grain is called weft, not waft. And second, wavy borders will make life very difficult for your longarmer 😢, so unless you'll be tying your quilt, it really is best to take the necessary steps (touched on in this video) to get your quilt borders on so they will lay flat, quilt police or no.

Such a happy quilt! The sashing really sets off the blocks, but I also love the way the quilt looks with the all over scramble. Your tutorial triggered my interest in the ruler , so I ordered it using your link and I’m ready to try my own version. Wish me luck!

❤❤ Loved seeing you make this quilt. I have all 3 sets of these templates. There are also accompanying booklets for each set of the templates that show the different ways the templates can be used to make different quilts. The notches make everything fit. I would love to see videos on some of the variations. Thank you.

Wow! Look at you go! In fact, your process is very close to mine. I haven't used the spray but after watching this, I think I should give it a shot. I also pin and baste! The navy dots was an inspired choice for this quilt binding. Crazy quilts can be super busy to the eye and the navy dots sort of anchors and contains the crazy. Love it! Have you ever done feather stitching embroidery on the seams? I see this on vintage crazy quilts and I would like to try it on one of my old quilt tops. Thank you again, Kris, fir the inspiring video.

You are so welcome! So happy you love this! I am thrilled I am not the only one who does both. LOL! I know it seems crazy, but I like my quilts to be flat. Sounds like you do, too! 😀 I have used a feather stitch! So funny you mentioned that! I thought about using tha stitch on this one, but I thought it would get lost since the fabric is so busy. I may make another with less crazy fabric and do that and some embroidery. I really love this template set. Thanks so much for watching and sharing! 🥰

Loved this I have the templates and the tutorial showing how to use was helpful. I make borders the same as you do but I take a tip I got from Anita Grossman Soloman by ironing batting tape on the quilt edge this helps because both edges work together. I have even had longarmers praise me about the straightness of the edges.

I bought the template set years ago and never used it. THANK YOU for inspiring me to actually make it! I thoroughly enjoyed your step by step video. I would name it "Still crazy" (after all these years). Lyrics from a song from years ago.

I learned a valuable lesson today. I wanted to use the kite block shapes as the “star” legs in my block. I was going to use patterned fabric for the rest of the pieces and a solid for the kites. I realized after doing my first round of blocks that using a directional fabric can be an issue. I changed directions and fussy cut those kite pieces so that they would work in my design. I just cut it on folded fabric so I got mirror images. Love your excitement and videos!!!
