❤I love this quilt! I really enjoyed the diary entries 🗒 format!!! ❄️ The single white fabric snowflake was definitely the way to go imo. 🧵 I'm definitely gonna look into this leaders & enders thing! It sounds like something I didn't know that I needed. Thank you! ❤
This is on my to do list for a quilt project wish list. I have a tote of Christmas fabrics to make mine scrappy and I was going to make the snowflake scrappy but … now I am rethinking it. I think a solid white is going to be the way to go.
Your quilt is beautiful! Congratulations, On the weight loss, i enjoyed watching it through the video. Great way to watch a long time quilting project! So Smart.
Love your quilt in the blue fabric. I am working on 5 of these quilts using scrappy Christmas fabric that my mom gave me in January. She passed away in June so I am using her fabric to make quilts for my kids, my nephew and my sister. I have waited to quilt the first one, trying to decide how I wanted to quilt it. I think what you did looks great! Saw Michelle's video this morning. Her buffalo check background looks great too.
I hope working with your mother’s fabrics brings you joy and helps you deal with the loss. I know your kids, nephew and sister will treasure these quilts.
Oh my God Kris, I just bought this pattern and I also wanted to do it in Blue. You have inspired me. I need to get on it. Thanks a bunch. You look fabulous and your quilt is amazing.
This is a great pattern. I just purchased it and am planning on making the scrappy on using Christmas prints in my scrap bin. Thanks for sharing the journey.
Your snowflake quilt looks fabulous. I love the idea of the metallic thread feature in the quilting. The humble wave, which I actually use a lot myself, really comes alive with the metallic thread. Must keep that in mind. I have one metallic thread so need to use it. I enjoyed the end part where you were sorting your fabrics. I am not very good with this but you have been helping me over the time here with you to give me an idea of how and what to be thinking about and thanks to you I am getting better. Thank you. See you next video. Your Aussie Friend.
Enjoyed the video so much - loved the snowflake quilt so much. You make it all look so easy.... I really, really like the fabric you chose for the binding. Thanks for sharing ❤🧵
I love all your videos Kris. I am your biggest fan from Australia. Out of all the quilting ladies in the USA if I had a chance I would love to meet you. The way you teach is so kind. Love to know about your success of weight loss and what you are doing to achieve that!! I could also lose a few kilos. All the best. You are again my favourite. Monica from Australia
I just bought the pattern and I"m excited. I have a bunch of blues in my stash that will work perfectly. I always do a quilt for our gift exchange game at Christmas with my kids and this will be perfect. Your quilt is lovely. Thanks you for sharing a great project!!
It’s beautiful, Kris! I will definitely buy the pattern and make this design. I have a lot of blue in my scraps and stash. Need to finish a few WIPs first. Thank you for another great video. I see the little strawberry needle sharpener still hangs on your wall!🙃 Cheers, Lili
I love the video diary format! It’s nice to see your whole process to making this beautiful quilt! It’s interesting, I’ve seen the pattern and wasn’t drawn to the picture and the fabric that it was shown in! I know that I can change the fabric but it was a great reminder to try to visualize the pattern in different fabrics! I love, love, love your blue scrappy version so much better and I’m going to try and find the pattern! I recently reorganized my sewing room and I have a lot of blue fabric! I’m not even sure where I purchased some of it!😀 Thank you so much for sharing!❤
I love how your quilt turned out! and have to add that you look GORGEOUS! as well 🥰! It's wonderful to see the collaboration of you all and your takes on this pattern. I'm thinking maybe I'll try it, too, but use bands of various christmas prints like the pattern shows in solids for my background. Thank you for sharing your quilting ideas as well ❤. I get sooo inspired by watching all the great youtube tutorials from quilters like yourself! Thank goodness the weather here has ended my gardening season, it's officially QUILT season at my house 😂!!!
This was so fun to come along on this journey with you! Sign me up for a Sew the Distance sticker in 2025 😂. I love the quilting (including the pink & purple 😂) and can’t wait to try something like this!! The backing was also gorgeous !!
I agree that the Red Sox and Patriots fabric did not belong in the quilt, even though I'm a big Red Sox fan (from Upstate New York). What a beautiful quilt - I love scrappy.
Fat Quarter Shop had this pattern as a flash sale item today. I lived it, but decided to pass. Then after your video, I decided I would get it, and it had sold out... Sounds about for my luck, lol.
Your quilt turned out beautifully!! I love the little bit of sparkle the metallic thread added. It glistens like the snow!! I'll admit I a little sad face when you went with cotton for the backing, but that backing fabric just went so good that it was definitely the right choice! I have the pattern and all the fabric to make hubby and I each one. This is one time I wish I had an Accuquilt..som.much.cutting. Thank you for all the tips! I also have a Janome (not the exact one you have) for the walking foot quilting, which stitch did you use and what stitch length? I typically use the walking foot and the serpentine stitch, but was also thinking of trying the more organic waves like you did.
I bought the Snowflake pattern last summer. It got lost in the mail, and I ended up in a back and forth correstpondence with the designer, Nicole Daksicwicz. She was super nice, by the way. I have my fabric picked out, but I haven't started it yet. (Got to finish those last Christmas gifts finished first). Black, Red and White Christmas Fabrics with Kona Quicksilver for the snowflake. Your blue scrappy version is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I would have left the sport themed fabrics in because it's not like the quilt is hanging on a wall where it's noticeable. I think they were a nice little surprise that would make the recipient smile when they saw them.
What colour thread did you use, just wondered if you had to change thread frequently from lighting dark on top. It's a beautiful quilt. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much! I use a pretty big stitch length--around 3.5--for quilting because I love the look of it. I also used a 100% cotton batting for this one. I bought a roll of it a few months ago, but when I buy it again, I am going to get 80/20. Hope this helps!

I loved this video diary format! It was so fun to see your quilt come together and all the choices you made along the way!
Another transplanted Bostonian here! I did like the sports squares but I think it looked better afterwards. Such a gorgeous family heirloom!
Kris, your quilt turned out great! I really enjoyed your diary style video!!! What a great idea! Thanks so much for joining me in this challenge!!!
That is a gorgeous quilt. Congratulations on a beautiful keepsake for winter ❄️

This is a great tutorial. Love the weight loss and the gray. I did the same this year. Yes I would change just by the one sample picture.
It turned out absolutely gorgeous. (Gorgeeeeousis!) Love it, love it, love it. I enjoyed the video. Thanks for all the helpful hints.

Thank you so much! I love blue, too!
Looking good Kris great quilt too I’m like you prefer walking foot quilting 😊
A lovely quilt! You make me want to create this quilt!

Love it! And I love how you quilted it :)
Thanks, I really enjoyed this one too!

Thank you! It is a fun one!

Love it. I made a red and white version! ❄❄❄🤍🤍🤍
Ohhh! Love that colorway, too! I want to make another!
Turned out beautiful! Good call on changing the two blocks. I've always heard it called a spider when you start sewing with a scrap of fabric.
I agree that the Red Sox and Patriots fabric did not belong in the quilt, even though I'm a big Red Sox fan (from Upstate New York). What a beautiful quilt - I love scrappy.
Well done.

Interesting about 'fatback,' I always knew it to mean smoked pork or herring.
The quilt is gorgeous!

What kind of weight loss program are you following? Quilt looks great!!
I would have left the sport themed fabrics in because it's not like the quilt is hanging on a wall where it's noticeable. I think they were a nice little surprise that would make the recipient smile when they saw them.
I want to make a red and white snowflake quilt....i just dont have enough red scraps yet...so its on the quilt bucket list.
What colour thread did you use, just wondered if you had to change thread frequently from lighting dark on top. It's a beautiful quilt. Thanks for sharing
Very pretty! Here in central Va. we always called it *fat backs*. 😊 when using metallic on top what thread in bobbin?
Yes, I would change those two blocks
The Quilt is so pretty. What stitch length did you use for your quilting and do you use 80/20 batting?
Thank you so much!
I use a pretty big stitch length--around 3.5--for quilting because I love the look of it. I also used a 100% cotton batting for this one. I bought a roll of it a few months ago, but when I buy it again, I am going to get 80/20. Hope this helps!
❤❤❤
Currently working on this pattern.
I love this pattern! You will have a beautiful quilt!
I would change it...I think it would contunue to bug me.
Thanks! I did. 🥰
Chris that is free motion quilting just a wavy line design. Don’t sell yourself short
Great job. I love your enthusiasm. Could you share your weight loss program? Lord knows anything would help.
Love it, thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome! So glad you enjoyed it!
