here are my thoughts on your thoughts!

Kate - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
You made me laugh when you said working with four-inch squares was way too fiddly... this comes from a person who made miles and miles of postage stamp curtains! LOL! ... Never mind... This pink and red quilt came out beautifully. 👍. ❤🌅🌵🗽
Found you in 2023 Summer..Now I look for all I can find..Such Joy
Same here! Binge watching! 🤗 Deb x
Same!❤
White! It keeps the colors in the blocks fresh and bright. The garnet red cornerstone (if you want to get as fiddly as that) is a gorgeous detail within the white sashing.
white is winning - and dots are up there too! xxx yes - fiddly!
Yes! It will bring everything together and the blocks will shine even more. If not white maybe a very light pink.

Kate, thank you for this series, one of the best...especial sharing your thought process in selecting fabrics. I loved the crazy quilt my paternal grandmother started (never finished) that was just large enough to cover me as a small child. Although she died before I was born, I felt I knew her because of that quilt.
oh - that is a lovely anecdote - we have no idea of the impact of our actions - you have such a locally connection to remember - I love this! xxx
So thankful I found you Kate. I loved hearing Norma purring!
You’ve inspired me, I have so many scraps. I’m going to make one. Norma is the sweetest cat.
Love how gentle you are with the cats .... makes them part of the process
Absolutely love the cats strutting past the camera and pausing with their “backends” showing. Thanks to them it brightens my day as my cats are definitely related.
The quilt is very pretty, I think that white would be good. I love Norma, she is so sweet.😊 ❤
Hi from New Zealand. I really like your blocks. I vote for white sashing and random plain pink to red cornerstones. I do like the 4 blocks sewn together as well.
so do I - the four blocks i mean - white is winning! dots too! xxx love to New Zealand from me! xxx
Hi Glenys from a fellow kiwi in the Waikato 😊
Sewing the 4 blocks together is very beautiful. I've done this myself. Your colors are vibrant.
I KNOW! it changed everything about this quilt for me when I read about that! xxx game changer! Thats why I love these comments! xxx
Yay! White was my first choice. It won’t compete with the blocks, but will let the beauty of all the pieces shine! It’s going to be a very pretty quilt!
you are right! its looking more likely! but maybe while with tiny red polka dots? Something like that - I may have to go fabric shopping - oh what a tragedy!!! ha ha!! xxx
Nice to have your cat supervising as they do x
Always there is a cat! xxx
Love the idea of the white. My sister thought about polka dots, but I think the white gives a little relief. So nice to include us in the decision! But, follow your heart. It's never failed you.
(it has sometimes) tiny polka dots are receiving a lot of love here in the comments - white with tiny red and red with tiny white for cornerstones and binding - I'm thinking that would work? xxx
Love that idea. I'm not insane after all.😋
I still like the white, and really like the pink cornerstones.
The blocks are so very attractive, with their "scrappiness." Highlight their loveliness?
Maybe play with the cornerstone color...
White sashing, polka dot border (white with red dots), red binding.
I know, I am like you, i like the unusual color combinations, the "zing." But...sometimes, the more traditional options do the trick.
exactly - less is more! resisting the urge to add yet more colour and letting the obvious choice make itself xxxxx
I joined your Chanel yesterday spent all day watching your old videos love watching you you are very inspiring entertaining
The white makes the quilt look really crisp. I really like it.
I like the white also. Again BRILLIANT!
Good morning from California. So I had thought lavender/purple originally but seeing the samples I am so drawn to the light pink on the left. Can't wait to see the outcome.
Oh and I now have 13 5 inch scrappy blocks all with pinks....need more pinks. Thank you again for the inspiration.
you need more pinks? I'd love to see your blocks? are you on instagram? xxx (I'm kate jackson textiles there)
White with red cornerstones would look perfect.
it's looking very likely - but the tiny polka dots are lovely too! ??? xxx
Love the blocks. Scrappy quilts are my favorite. I predict that this will be one of your favorite quilts that you have made.
Kate I think anything that speaks to your soul will be the perfect choice. My Mamo, maternal grandma, made all types of quilts mostly by hand. My favorites were the crazy quilts she loving made from sentimental pieces of fabrics. She told stories about each piece that I can still hear in my mind. She would recover each place that became tattered. She taught me to sew, crochet & many other things. Her & my Poppy, maternal grandpa, were the best parents I could of had! So this journey you are taking us on is wonderful! Thank you tons! ❤xo💜xo💙xo💛xo💖xo💚
I love hearing stories like that - this values are so hard to find these days - important that we all remember them xxx
Im loving the white sashing and with bright ornerstones it really pops! Im so glad I found your channel, it's a lovely bit of cheerful that my mum and I can share
Just lovely! Thanks for sharing your ideas, thoughts, and creative work! ❤️
I like the white too. It gives your eye a rest. How about a polka dot binding!
Red border!
polka dots are winning in the comments! xxx
I am a recent subscriber and this is my 1st comment. A blogger I follow tested out sashing's by laying a piece of fabric on a table then placing 4 blocks on the top - I thought it was a good quick way to see if the fabric was suitable; anyway that's my 2 penneth worth. I've watched about 4 of your video's which I really enjoyed and looking forward to catching up with a few more. Greetings from East Yorkshire :)
hello Lesley! I can almost wave at you! xxx Thank you for joining us here - you are very welcome xxx
Great progress with this quilt- it’s ne of my favorites! I love you put it up for wall and change or make instructions! Just love what you talk about and how you get your quilts!- love your do!, Sandi Myer from Florida!
I've just come in and the white was my choice too! Just from looking at the wall. I see you also have a kitty supervisor
you can't do this sort of thing without a cat in charge! xxx
I loved this video. Not being a quilter, I hesitated to comment but can't help myself. I love the white between the blocks. I wonder if the same size white border as between blocks surrounding the quilt and then the white with red polka dots outside of that in at least twice the width would look good. It would tie in the red backing into the white borders. Add a few of the corner blocks in pink and red, but not every corner. This quilting is fun....lol!!!!!
thank you! the next part is happening - i will film it soon - and (spoiler alert) the sashing is ..... white! xxx
Just found you and subscribed! Love the red/pink scrappy quilt! Can’t wait to watch more of your videos!
Just love your videos and your kitties !!! Keep sewing , I love sewing quilts too and have several kits to do too. I went through all my scraps and it is addicting to collect new scraps from the quilt shops that have a sewing room we can go to for an afternoon of fun!! Take care ,stay healthy and happy stitching!!!
I love scrap quilting and I love your way you do it. I’m going to do it
So love the idea of sewing the four inch squares, thanks Carol. I am making my blocks 4 inch as that is the size of my plastic template. Thanks again for the info and chat.
I love seeing you and I’m enchanted with your wonderful spirit. I love your videos. Always something to learn.
Working my way through your wonderful videos although far from work, it’s one of the joys of my life to watch them! I love Norma purring through this video, I love your relaxed enjoyment of quilting, and I love this beautiful scrappy quilt! I started hand piecing one but it is taking so long, I am going back & forth with hand & machine piecing it. I am rather new to quilting so I don’t know how to add the sashing but that’s for the future. Thank you, Kate for all your wonderful efforts.
Very pretty! Like you, I hand quilt. Not because I think it's better, but because I'm very inept at machine quilting.
You know there are quite a-lot of us who just are completely addicted to quilting videos! You are fresh and wonderfully uninhibited! I like the pink maybe a shade brighter with red or white polka dot corner stones ! The other colors seem to overwhelm the quilt! It is very English cottage country which I absolutely love!!!! There must be someone in your life who is quilt worthy if you know what I mean hahahah! Northumberland might be Scotland....I dont understand the borders there but in any case we might be related! Happy quilting! Whatever you choose will be lovely!!!
Hello Renee! Northumberland shares a border with Scotland and so i am very northern! It is the most beautiful county - in the spring/summer I will make some 'out and about' videos - so much to share! xxx
Oh hope you make more. I’d love a queen size quilt. Not a quilter and don’t own any quilt bedspread.
just used my colour wheel and contrasting colour is a limeish green
and lime green is possibly my favourite colour - hmmmmm >???
I would definitely go with white sashing and make the cornerstones different colors.
that is half of what I have done! I will post it soon! xxx
Such great fun! LOVED being part of the creative process for your quilt. Can’t wait to see how “we” finish it.
It certainly is 'WE' I love the collaboration! xxx
Carol’s idea to make four blocks was fantastic! I can’t do little fiddling blocks. I love the white sashing.
I really love your quilt but I do agree that white-would bring it out and I’m sure your granddaughter would love to have it in the future so beautiful I do hope you go white all the best Donna from Canada
I loved the idea of sewing into four patches, so much that I am rethinking how I am doing a Christmas string quilt. The rectangles are 6 x 8 cut, and I will need 81 blocks to get a nice throw. I was going to sash with green each individual rectangle. I was not look keen forward to it, I’m going to borrow your word of too fiddly. So I am in the process of soil for rectangles together, and Sashing that. Not quite so fiddly and I’m really liking it. As you said, the seam lines do break it up really nicely. Wish I could send you a picture of how it’s turning out. Love love love thank you thank you thank you for your sharing your different ideas. I watch most of your videos but somehow, missed the series of your red and pink quilt. I’m watching it all now. Enjoy your time away from TH-cam!
I love the aqua that was near the grey. I would do that with a soft white cornerstones.
I just found your video. Love how you think and put items together. beautiful quilt.
thank you! I'm grateful for your support! xxx
I love your Norma♥️ and your refreshing personality. Thank you for sharing. I love your quilting.
I love the light pink I think that will be perfect. And the quilt is amazing so far. Awesome work.
I'm loving the white with the tiny red dots for the sashing and red cornerstones. The cornerstones would complement the red backing.
Yep - it's looking like that will be the way to go - despite my resistance! (you know how i feel about black! ha ha!!!)xxx
@@thelasthomelyhouse yes, I do know how you feel about black and I'm grateful!!!
Just subscribed today...love your pink & red scrappy quilt. I'm a fan of McKenzie-Childs art and they use a lot of black & white checkerboard. I'd love to see that as your sashing, but of course, only YOU can make the decision. I have collected well over a hundred men's Hawaiian shirts for a quilt which I plan to fussy cut and sash with the black & white checks. It's hard to start cutting up the beautiful shirts, but someday... I'll check out the rest of your videos, but so far I love your taste in fabrics and styles. AND I love seeing your kitties...I have a bunch, also.
That sounds like a fabulous project! It might help to cut all them into usable pieces so that then it is just 'fabric' and not shirts - I'd love to see that one! xxx
Enjoyed the process of sashing choices - your final choice is perfect - very pretty quilt, to my surprise!
I love this quilt already Kate. It was so much fun to see all the suggestions on the idea board. I am in total agreement with you that the tiny poka dots are darling. I also like the red still. You have a fabulous eye for color and I'm sure in the end it will be brilliant.
polka dots are winning!!! thank you! xxx
I think grey would be beautiful.
Thank you Kate. I'm one of your new TH-cam friends and I love your videos. Incidentally, I'm cutting pieces for my very own pink and red (and a bit of yellow) quilt. I almost did a scrappy quilt but I decided on a triangle quilt in the end. It's my second quilt ever (this one will be King size, my first wast a lap quilt for my fluffy baby) and I'm very excited. I'm so glad I came across your videos. Like you, I'm not into Facebook but I like Instagram so I'm off to find you there and follow you . Have a lovely day!
Hi Kiz - you enjoy the quilting - I have a new one in my head just now - an interesting time! xxx
Hi! I only had watched part of the other video and did not listen long enough to hear you ask for suggestions, but i had already imagined i a cream/tan/neutral color for the sashing with splashes sewn in of different color of your liking for sashing posts or at random places throughout the sashing strips.
Hi Kate!!! Love the idea of white as your sashing and along with the red backing, it allows the quilt to speak for itself.. I don't think you need to buy more fabric .Carol's suggestion was right on !!
Thank you!!!
White with red cornerstones and polka dot binding! 😀😀😀😀 It's lovely.
thank you! that's pretty much what I went for! xxx video soon xx
This was so interesting, thank you for sharing your thought process on this. I know practically nothing about anything crafty, so really enjoyed learning a teeny bit about quilting and colour ☺
I would love to see black and white stripes horizontallybaround the quilt with White sashings in the middle.
you are the FIRST person to mention stripes! and i had a visitor today who thought stripes! How about I bind it with stripes?
I love the red or the pink with cornerstones of the one you didn't use for sashing. It'd be so warm and with red sashing, so rich, but still giving your eyes some resting space and also clearly dividing the pieced blocks. White was my initial thought, but it always is!
I am fairly new to your channel and I am hooked! I've just watched this video and would love to see a picture of the finished quilt. Is there another video that shows it?
Thank you Kate 💕
I do like It with the simple white to make the squares pop a little but I really like the pink too. I think a narrow sashing is best for this quilt. Maybe the polka dots for the binding?
I'm glad you agree about the narrower binding Robin, do you think 1.5" (finished) would be too narrow? that is what i am considering - and yes - dotty binding would be great! xxx Thank you
The Last Homely House East of the Sea I think 1.5” would be fine. I’ve used that width a few times. I’ve come to prefer a narrow sashing. With your squares being scrappy you may have to press your seams to the sashing but otherwise It should work fine. You could follow the rules and try sewing the sashing to a couple blocks and see if you like it or be reckless and just go for It. I think I might be able to guess your choice 😉.
I think you have the measure of me! ha ha!!! xxx@@rsislandcrafts
@@rsislandcrafts When I made my son's Crown Royal quilt, it had narrow sashing and cornerstones. I attached the top sashing, then the right cornerstone already sewn to the sashing that ran down the right side of the block, as I finished the blocks and pinned them up on the design wall. So easy! Then I sewed the horizontal rows together, and assembled the quilt as usual. No long strips of sashing and cornerstones to connect to the already-assembled rows. It worked like a charm, which was exactly what I needed, as it was a rush job. My son was in Iraq, flying his Blackhawk, and my daughter-in-law Donna and I had discussed making a quilt for him for Christmas. She dropped by one day near the end of October, close to my birthday, and dropped the bomb: "You know, if WE are going to make Don a quilt for Christmas, it has to be mailed by December 10!" Aaagghhh! Because of course, the Crown Royal bags were still in bag form and the rest of the quilt was just an idea, at that point. I enlisted my DIL, granddaughter and a niece to cut the bags apart, then placed them in lingerie bags and into the washer to pre-shrink. Those bags are made of FLANNEL, and the cut bag fronts came out of the dryer rolled up into tight, stringy balls - it took a full 8 hours to trim and press enough of them for his quilt top. I decided to place the bag front in the center of a wonky star made of blue, green, and a few purple stars, so it was come home from work, hang coat on the back of my chair at the sewing machine, and get busy sewing. My machine quilter usually stops taking work in at the beginning of November to do her own holiday sewing, but I prostrated myself on her good graces and she agreed to quilt it for me. I was literally finishing up the last few stitches attaching the binding when Donna showed up with the box to mail it overseas. We made it! He got it for Christmas, and said it was a welcome break from all the desert camouflage they were surrounded with over there. All his buddies had quilt envy, wanted to make off with his quilt. I didn't get a photo of it until he got back home with it, such a panic getting it into the mail on time...
@@judithjanes5738 Judith please thank your son and his family for their service. Shipping overseas for the holidays sure does put a bit of a rush to our projects. Happy to hear his quilt made it in time for Christmas. That was a brilliant way to handle the sashing. Those long strips of sashing can be a pain to keep straight and lined up properly. With your way it's just sewing a bunch of blocks together. I can picture what those bags looked like fresh out of the dryer. Ouch! If you ever decide to make another Crown Royal quilt I guess you've learned the hard way to wash the bags before cutting them apart. I'm sure you were frustrated and heart broken when you saw the "mess". My Grandfather drank many bottles of Crown through the years and I've made a few projects from some of the bags. It's fun to look at all the Crown projects over on Pinterest.
A big yes to the white sashing, and a big hug to Norma. This was a fun video, thanks for sharing your creative process.
hug delivered! thank you xxxxx
Once again Ms Kate!
I would give you a thumbs up for every time I re-watch your videos!
Kudos!
I loved the white with polka dots! I can’t wait to see what you’ve done!
Last year we spent a bit of time at a house my partner rented while out of town for work, there were some gorgeous quilts that were orange and hot pink with black sashing and backs, they were quite striking but I think I am with you about not using black for quilts.
What an adorable,& helpful kitty
Love the finished results.
It so reminds me of Valentine’s Day. I like the white too. I like the bigger blocks as well.
I don't think I'll have it ready for this year!!!
Watching these again and loving it…
I love the white with pink anchors. It doesn't detract from all the colors of the fabrics. Looks beautiful and Norma is a sweetheart. =)
Hello looking at the sash,now I think red or pink goes well 😊
Lovely suggestions and a fun video! TFS the inspiration, Kate!
You have whipped that up so quickly! It's going to be wonderful when you get it done. Moss green would be lovely, but I kind of like the polka dot idea as well. As you were listing all the things you are going to do in videos, I was thinking...oh Kate... You have forgotten we are coming into gardening season.... But what a great way to get there faster....
Dale from Canada
This is why there is an urgency ! I am still a few weeks off thinking about seeds - but once all that starts there will be no time for this kind of malarkey! xxxx
It was interesting to see all the color strips hanging next to the blocks. Auditioning can really clinch an idea, yes?! I’m still seeing some cornerstone polka dots in my mind’s eye but only mini-dots. Cornerstones could add a subtle touch and break up the white sashing. But only if you want that much extra sewing. My dog is finished, posted on IG and you’ve been tagged. It will be great fun to see all the dogs!
oh! good! (dog) thank you xxx the tiny polka dots are proving to be really popular - I really like the idea too - I had a real life visitor today (the mummy of the baby who got the dog!) and she likes the dots too - they are becoming inevitable! xxx
The Last Homely House East of the Sea
I find it a bit strange, and sometimes annoying, that a certain idea will stick and not let go. Lol. Glad the mum’s baby liked her dog. Cute project!
I do like the idea of white sashing with scrappy pink and red cornerstones. White with small red polka dots would also be good.
Asking for opinions feels like we are on a quilting retreat with you online. Fun at home with lots of ideas. No pressure.
Congratulations on lots of new followers.
its rather marvellous isn't it! I hope they stick around for the less quality content! xxx
My second choice is white or soft pink!
I would use a burgondy..
More of a deep cranberry or wine.
Not maroon.... too dark.
Love your video!
I have a Tuxedocat named Miss Attie because she had an Attitude! : - D
She is always by my side or... unfortunately, in my lap.... Im a crocheter... used to make lovely clothes and evening gowns .... would LOVE to get my machine out again and learn to quilt!!
I hope you do - it is so rewarding! xxx hello Miss Attie xxx
@@thelasthomelyhouse I wanted to acknowledge your Reply with a heart but the Like wouldn't let me.
Do Im sending an invisible one your way!!
Morning Kate Love the pink or white sashing, and Normas purring is beautiful bless her, have a beautiful weekend x
Yea pink lovely as well
Hello Kate, my favorites are the pink and the white polka dot .
We are of one accord! I think that is how this might end up! xxx
I suggest: Robin's egg blue, which as you know, is light blue green, with red cornerstones. As I look at the blocks hanging behind you, my first impression in that it 'needs salt', as my mother used to say. A little something-something to give it some contrast. And I put the word out on you, Kate! Shared your videos on my FB page, so there's probably a few quilters from here in eastern Washington state following your TH-cam vids as a result. And with my fav art quilting shop and all the women who hang out there. And a few individual people, as well. So I'm certain I'm the guilty party! (Just kidding about being the one responsible for your uptick in subscribers! ha) All I have referred you to are just as charmed as I have been. Truth.
I've done a quilt with 1-inch finished strips, bright prints with the same 1-inch WHITE finished sashing. NEVER AGAIN! It did turn out beautifully, but there was a lot of hand-washing required to keep all those blocks pristine! I donated it to our Spokane Valley Quilters Guild to raffle off just among the members to raise funds for our guild.
ahhhh - can I trace this increase back to you!!! Thank you - I am really pleased to have new people here - I feel like I'm collecting together all the like minded people all over the world and then the party can start! Usually - the more crazy a colour combo is, the better i like it - but I can't deny that the white looks good - there will be dots in there too - but I will have to go fabric shopping - which - you will agree - is such a tragedy! xxx (ha!ha! )
@@thelasthomelyhouse It IS a tragedy, but sometimes it just must be done! ha What's worse is nowadays, one doesn't even have to leave the house to collect it, the mailman is more than happy to deliver! And I do dearly love Robin's-egg blue; I always bring the first half-shell I find in the spring, into the house to put on my kitchen windowsill above the sink. Such a great colour!
@@judithjanes5738 hahaha I was reading the part where you say ones does not have to leave the house and started giggling imagining holes in the drapes and clothes. Then saw you meant ebay or the such hahahaha
@@gigglegiggles3189 Don't forget the wonderful fabric opportunities offered by thrift store clothing! I use a lot of it in my art quilts and regular quilting, too. Plus you get all the goodies to use as well: labels, buttons (you should see my collection!), even save the side seams when cutting up shirts to tie up my raspberries and tomatoes! So useful!
I love the pinks for the sashing behind you. The white is nice but may look a bit dirty in a hurry, or turn pink in the wash! Lovely quilt 😍
oooh! two very valid points - noon else has thought of that - I guess if it runs in the wash I could always say I intended it to be pink? hmmmm xxxx
I came across your channel and I have watched it so much since then. We seem to like the same things , quilting, crochet, being outside and the rain, I love the rain it comes me so much. I have tried almost every craft, fun. I am 80 yrs now but I am still very active and doing all my crafts. You are very interesting and I love to be with you . Take care . 😊 ❤
I like white with red corner stones. Then if you aren’t going to keep, then try machine quilting like a meandering or in the ditch..
First time here from Germany and loving your videos and explanations. Love your cat. You are living the perfect life. If I ever visit the north of England, I will drop by
You would be most welcome! excuse the mess! xxx
White with tiny red dots will be great, and different dark pink-red cornerstones👍
The idea of sewing 4 scrappy patches together is really good.
Yes - I think that worked so well. and the polka dots are getting a lot of thumbs ups in the comments! xxx
I love crazy quilts. You have an interesting aesthetic, love it.
"the angels comes and singing..." that's great 😇🎶🤩
I am not a quilter, don’t sew anything, but my grandmother made me beautiful quilts, all hand-quilted, so I very much appreciate the craft. Not sure why your video popped up for me, but I thought you were probably British from the thumbnail (I’m American in California) and that’s appealing, and then your cat really sucked me in! I thoroughly enjoyed both you and Norma! I kinda like the pink. 😁
I think that cat should have her own channel!!! she is the best! with such an amazing story xxxx happy to have you here at The Last Homely House! xxx
New to your channel. Love it. Love your cat. Love the quilt. Can’t wait to see it finished.
Love your kitty! And you are so kind to your kitty...saying please and thank you . I talk to my kitty that way also!
she is a remarkable cat with an awesome story..... she deserves a please and thank you now and then! xxxxx
Love the scrappiness of the quilt. I think a black sashing would make the reds and pinks pop.
I love the dark purple om the right hand side.
I like the White with red cornerstones.
Hello. I am a new subscriber and I admit the video about your pink and red scraps is what drew me in. I then spent the rest of the day watching various last videos, including the candy making videos in regard to Hercules Candies, whom I also follow. I'm glad to have found you.
Hercules are the BEST!!! xxx thank you xxx
Of course it's Norma's channel. She knows she is a star! :) Since grey didn't take off, I will switch to white with little dots and the sweet little cornerstone - fiddly, but worth it. The quilt will be beautiful!
I am one of the newcomers-I am really enjoying your videos and love your cat!
I do really like the black or the royal blue
I can’t fathom is how long I’ve been watching you and commenting but I wasn’t subscribed! Purely an oversight that I’ve now rectified.
ha ha!! thank you! xxx
