To Sash or not to sash? Today I am taking a pile of orphan blocks, totally mismatched in terms of colour and pattern and using sashing to turn them into a cohesive quilt. But first there are many decisions that you need to make. I will show you the ones that I had to make to finally turn this UFO into a quilt that I am proud to gift away. #CITYSAMPLERQUILT #TULA PINK #100DAYS100BLOCKS

Sorry for the delay. I had a storm delay for the final quilt reveal photos. Grab your cup of coffee and enjoy 🤗
It's April, and that is the only excuse required. Enjoy the crocuses and daffodils!
Thank you so much ❤️ for what you do! All your hard work doesn't go unnoticed ❣️
The quilt is Beautiful!!!
Reminds me of Stained Glass. ❤️
Your new quilt looks very much like some of the scrap quilts that the old people made when I was a child (here in Eastern Kentucky). It turned out beautiful.
Mom never bought fabric or batting to make a quilt. She always used scraps left over from making garments. She also used old flannel blankets and old winter underwear to make the batting inside her quilts. Plus, Mom never bought a quilt pattern. When Mom saw a pattern she liked in a Newspaper or magazine, she would draft a close copy on old newspaper using a pencil, and a 12 inch school ruler. She would stay up late one night to draft that pattern (so no one would bother her). Old cardboard from cereal boxes was saved and used to make her templates. She cut each piece by hand with scissors. If someone wanted a copy of her pattern, Mom would make and give them a free copy.
From the begining of this pandemic, I have made and finished three hundred and fourty-two (342), 8 1/2 inch square, quilt blocks from my ever growing stack of scrap in boxes/bags. I have many others scrap blocks still in the making process; because, I don't make them one at a time. No two of these blocks look the same; and, there are many colors, and prints in each one. I am planning to sash one hundred and twenty (120) of the finished blocks in the Shadow Box style (using black and light yellow fabrics). I find making crumbs and scrap blocks relaxing and fun. Thank you for teaching me.
Think of how much quilting must have fulfilled your mother. All that care, carving out time for her craft. Thank you so much for sharing her story.
The gray background made all the difference!
You mentioned how long sashing rows can stretch, which is true. One tip that helps guard against that is to cut sashing from lengthwise fabric if possible (parallel to selvedge) instead of crosswise, because the warp threads have inherently less stretch than weft. This gives some bonus stability to the project without varying anything else.
thanks for the tip
@Marialla, I’ve been sewing for decades and just recently learned this tip! 🤦🏽♀️
This is absolutely true. As a trained weaver, I can tell you, the Warp (vertical) direction of the fabric is always stronger than the Weft (or Filling, horizontal) direction. I usually keep that in mind when cutting Fabrics.
Does it matter if you are denting your Mount Scrapmore...
This definitely answers the question from the Q & A about how NOT to end up with what looks like a pile of trash. I have always been nervous about using my scraps for fear they will be too chaotic even for a Crazy Quilt. LOOK AT HOW NICE THAT CAME OUT!!!!
Someday I want to be you when it comes to quilting and piecing. Right now, I am still working full time, but someday I want to feel the joy YOUR ART brings me in my own clumsy piecing way.
A beautiful quilt. You should title it the “Look How Far I’ve Come” quilt. Sashing is such a wonderful way to join so many different block colours & patterns. I really like the way you do the horizontal sashing to prevent stretched fabric. Thanks for all the work you do making these videos. I’ve learned so much. Blessings.
Thank you. Good name. It's funny. I didn't think my skills had improved that much in the last 4 years.
This is Catherine from Kansas. You are so well spoken and you give such great information. You don’t talk too fast: you don’t talk too slow; and you smile and admit to mistakes and are helping me grow. I’ve been Quilting since I was eight years old. I’ve learned more from you than anyone. I’ve taken many mini classes but none have given me the education you have. Thank you so much!
🤗🤗🤗
I LOVED the final reveal-so dramatic so perfect. Thank you for all your knowledge!
That taking a black and white photo was like an explosion of “yes”. The solution to my bargello issues!
I enjoy how you break things down and are so specific. Marking the 6&1” places on the horizontal sashing is brilliant. Gives me ideas about a set of 6.5” crumb quilt blocks I have. Your blocks wound up unique, yet unified. I would love to see this one again, once quilted.
Putting it on the long arm today
Bonnie! That was exactly what I was about to comment!
I have shied away from sashing for just that reason. I'm going to try this on my next block quit!
Amen! So helpful!
This quilt really turned out! I never thought to shift the blocks so that you don’t have to line up the sashing. One of my oldest UFOs was abandoned because of unaligned sashing! Maybe I now have the inspiration to just get it done!
Just get it done.
Go for it. Looking forward to seeing photos
I made crumb quilt blocks and sashed them but I found that the vertical alignment was not matching very well. I had some smaller partial blocks left over that I could use to camouflage the misaligned rows, so I did some raw edge scribble applique where you would put a cornerstone block, but I made them wonky to distract the eye from the misaligned rows.
Wow! This is brilliant! Who said that old dogs can’t learn new tricks? Thank you, Karen!!!
Glad it was helpful
It doesn’t matter how many times I experience it, I am always blown away by the magic that sashing and borders can perform. Your quilt is beautiful and it tells a wonderful story of your quilting over the years.
it's just fascinating
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm making my first quilt and want to do sashing...the trick about marking the horizontal so you align all the blocks 'perfectly' is such a great tip! OK, to be honest I tried a quilt in the 80's but ended up hating the colours...so put it away..so this is my second quilt. I'm using flannel and I realize it's harder to use but it's from the leftover fabric from when I made my friends' kids pj's for Christmas. They are in their 20's now and I wanted to surprise them with a quilt using all those old memories. The quilt will stay at mom and dad's to be brought out every christmas. I'm learning on this quilt but I've followed your tips and so far so good. I'm already thinking about future quilts with ''real quilting fabric'' and I'm pretty excited to be doing this. It's about time, I'm 71 year old!!! But have been sewing since I was 11 so this is an exciting new adventure for me. Thank you for all your videos, they have been so helpful.
Very informative! I needed this lesson. I never thought about moving a row over, a few inches, and going from there. Sometimes we get stuck and need a reminder that we can do something different.
Love your great reveal! Also, learned a new tip about sashing after 30 years of quilting - 'sew the block to the sashing' and not the sashing to the block. Changemaker (11 minute mark)! Thank you!
I agree!
I was reading this as ‘To Stash or Not to Stash’. I thought well she is certainly going to clean out her cabinets now!😂
Hi Carol, How's your day going with you
It turned out wonderfully! I love your tip about marking your long sashing to make sure it lines up. I'm going to add that to my toolbox (as I have with so many of your other tips). Thank you!
Wow, did not think there was any hope for putting that wide variety of blocks into a cohesive quilt but you did it. I love it. Thank you for all the tips and tricks.
Thank you. It took me 4 years to just put it together.
It might not be what you would make today but it's beautiful
Le quilt final est magnifique. Le gris me paraissait un peu foncé lorsque vous l avez posé mais à la lumière du jour il est lumineux et permet de mettre en lumière les autres blocs. La personne qui va le recevoir sera charmée. Belle journée à vous. Nathalie.
I loved the reveal unfurl at the end. Seriously. There might have been eye moisture :)
🤗
There were certainly real tears of joy springing up here! Go Karen!!
Great variations with sashings! This is perfect for all those leftover blocks. You have thought through the dynamics of everything in quilting in logical explanations. Love it!
Loving the final reveal. I had my doubts that I'd like it when the video started. But with your great choices for layout and sashing color and widths the quilt is a treasure.. You've been a blessing to all of us who tune in to your videos. Thank you Karen. From Minnesota.
The quilt came out great! Thank you, as always, for this video as well as all your videos. You do a great job of explaining, in very simple terms, concepts I think are complicated and/or confusing and making them seem easy. I appreciate all the work that goes into producing and making these videos that you share with us, your community. Happy day to you!
Handsome save + easy effective instruction. Thx .
Your quilt came out gorgeous, the gray made the blocks really stand out without too much business! I love the idea of marking your sashing, great idea! I can’t wait to see what tips and tricks and more ideas your doing next! ❤️
I never would've thought that all those odd blocks could've turned into such a lovely quilt top. I think the staggered by 2" look is genius. And the grey is perfect to tone the whole thing down. Great job, Karen.
Excellent reveal. And you look great Karen.
Hi Melanie, How's your day going with you
@@paulohlsson27 It was a beautiful hot day. Hope yours was beautiful as well.
@@melanievarela4048 yes it's the season, climate change is affecting everything.
It's nice to hear from you, how are you spending your spare time?
I love the outdoors including traveling and reading books, cooking, gardening and watching movies I'm from Ohio and you?
@@melanievarela4048 how's your weekend going with you Melanie?
That colour for the sashing was just perfect , I'm in awe ,I would have never thought to use a colour like that but it makes every block sing , it's gorgeous.
The off set blocks look great what a good idea thanks Karen your quilt looked great can’t wait to see it all quilted and done
It is a lovely and lively quilt and I find it interresting. Britt from Copenhagen Denmark
Karen, I am new at quilting but have been sewing since was 11 yrs old. I love it. Just decided to make quilt last year ( 22). I've made 2 lap quilts so far and will be starting on #3 today YOU HAVE BEEN A BIG INSPRITATION FOR ME. I love your videos and I have learned a lot of things I wasn't sure of. Keep up the great teaching.
🤗
I can’t tell you enough how much I love your quilt top, Karen. I love the offset rows, and the sashing is definitely a big plus. I would make a quilt like this on purpose, love all the different colours and movement. Well done, Karen and a big thank you for sharing. 👍❤️😊
Thank you so much! 🤗
Karen! Wow - that reveal!
I was whoohooot-ing with joy for you! Absolutely glorious!
And, as always, the great tips and tricks in this video were delivered in your marvelous manner. You have given me huge doses of confidence - and so much pleasure - watching your videos! So inspiring, and yet utterly down to earth. Thank you for all you do!
Thank you so much!
At first I thought all the those blocks with no cohesive color was a hot mess, but youshowed how the sashing really made a big impact for this quilt. I love the the staggered rows.
Perfect timing for this video. I just finished a scrap quilt from my mount scrapmore. It is on my design wall as I write this. My goal I to make the entire quilt from scraps including the back and the batting. I have forbidden myself to make any new quilts untill I have this scrap pile under control. I have one more scrap quilt to design and make as soon as this one is complete. Thank you so much for everything I have learned from your very informative videos. Blessing and keep em coming!!
I just love that you used all your scraps for this 100 block project. You have given me ideas 💡 They grey sashings is perfect and off set is very clever. I’m thrilled I’ve watched this video. Your ideas are brilliant
This has nothing to do with quilting but your hair looks great!
Your quilt turned out great!
Oh wow! Your processes are fantastic, and I enjoy watching them. I've learned so much from you. You are one of the best teachers on YT!
Thanks,
Rochelle
Thanks so much 😊
Learning so much from your videos, thank you
You're such a great teacher. Thanks
Wow, what great tips using the templates to help it stay square. It is always so good to learn something knew! Thank you Karen. I am passing this on. By the way, I never thought those mixed up blocks could come together. Incredible how it all works in the end.
I also never thought in a million years they would look ok together! But that grey really does it.
I will add my name to that list of doubters. But sometimes one needs to stop overthinking and just do it. It only took me 4 years. 😎
That was EPIC.
Thank you. Love your handle
I learned a lot in this tutorial. You make teaching pleasant with your smart voice.😊
I am SO glad that I wasn't the only one to use my scraps for my 100 days! And now with your help, I can actually finish it! 🤣
Beautiful. The reveal reminded me of flags of different nations. Thank you for the sashing ideas.
Great video! I am always amazed how the simple design of adding a sashing can pull all those colours and designs into such a lovely quilt! Love it and the colour you chose! Kudos!
It really turned out pretty! I wasn't sure that I would like it because the colors and patterns were all so different but I actually really like it! The grey was definitely a great choice!
Thank you
hurrah! what a great reveal
😎
I would have thought to just use black for the sashing, so thanks for showing me that there are other options and how to find them. Really do need to get back to quilting.
You could but I do not care for that high value contrast. I like to play in the middle
The unveiling shots and the music, EPIC! I love this ❤
It feels that way when to tie off that last stitch
You hit on everything! Just as I thought of a “what if” you answered it. Thank you so much.
So glad to hear
Aww Karen, you inspire me! That final rollout of your finished flimsy is such an accomplishment, I was brought to tears! For me it shows how we spend our quality time.
I very much love crazy scrappy quilts, but I will admit that the sashing made this a much more put together and peaceful quilt. I enjoyed this video.😄
Wow!! Very well done. If I had such a variety of blocks to put in a single quilt I would have been completely stumped.
Also thanks for the tip about marking the sashing at the 6" and 7" mark to make sure it lines up with the blocks - my crumb pieced blocks are all over the place, and that method will be way more consistent than my current "squish then pin and pray" method😅
Glad you have Mando as a cheerleader even if he doesn't always understand where the camera is 😂
I hope there will be a follow up video for random sized orphan blocks! Thanks Karen!
Oh I have one of those too
Outstanding! i love this type of quilt, it is so modern!
Pretty quilt. Thanks for sharing.
It's amazing to see how far you've come. The quality of the footage is high and the edit is so smooth. Good job!
I'm a recent subscriber and just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. You are so personable, and I just LOVE your voice. I could listen to you all day and have your videos on repeat as I sew because of how soothing you are. Great information, wonderful tips, beautiful quilting and such a warm, welcoming host. I look forward to every video. Thank you for being here!
Thank you
Such a happy quilt. Big smile from that reveal.
Wow, that turned out fantastic. Sure does give me courage to attack my odd blocks. Love watching your videos.
I'm a sucker for scrappy quilts, this is fab!
Thank you
Karen
LOVE this quilt!
Learned so much
SO enjoyed this video! Thank you for all the variety of subjects covered on your channel. I especially reccomend you for your interviews with other sewists. Several have really impressed and inspired me. Thank you Karen!
So glad to hear. thank you
Disclaimer: I am NOT a quilter. When I first saw your blocks, I thought of children drawing with chalk, crayons, paints on a driveway or concrete surface and thought how gray would be the best choice. I never used to like gray as a neutral, but I have learned to embrace it. BTW, I am a knitter, crocheter, tatter and sometime needleworker. I admire and appreciate the skills in quilting and I purchase quilts, BUT I am not picking up this habit-er-hobby. ;).LOL. Love your channel!
Loved the look of that quilt. It's what I would call a good old fashioned quilt.
Wow! That quilt was incredible! What excellent tips..as always. Hi from Canberra
I love your scrappy sampler quilt!!!! And I never thought about offsetting my columns or not using even amounts. Learning so much from you, Karen. Thank you.
I love the way your quilt turned out. What a great idea for the sashing. It’s beautiful!
Holy cow, that's a lot of blocks. And then the sashing...that's a lot...It turned out really really pretty!! I thing I would be overwhelmed. But it really looks good!!
And they have just been sitting for 4 years. Glad they are finally done.
Beautiful! I love a scrappy quilt.
Thank you
It is beautiful. It reminds me of postcards.
Hi Mary, How's your day going with you
I like the light gray sashing on this quilt. I appreciate your help.
My son has been enjoying it
What a great reveal!
Hi Bettie, How's your day going with you
I Love the end result! hank you!! :)
You're the Best! 💞
Don't know about anyone else but my mil who grew up during the depression when nothing was ever thrown away introduced me to crazy patch. Personally I love bright happy colors so to me this quilt is amazing and beautiful, not to mention interesting. To me bright and blingie ( flash and trash) is the best. I love this. Thank you for sharing.
I love the energy of a scrappy quilt
Stunning! You are an excellent teacher. Thnx.
Great result! We have to accept our imperfections, it's part of our history. And nobody else will know it.
Who would have thought so many different blocks could come together in a quilt and look so great 😀 I love the idea of doing sampler blocks to try new techniques but wondered what to do with them all 🤷♀️. Now I know, thanks for another inspirational video 🙌🤩🥰
It's a beautiful quilt
I always LOVE your videos! I have been quilting for 30+ years, but learn something with each of your videos! Thank you!
I learned so much from this tutorial and it certainly inspired me to get all those orphan blocks out and put them together. I have to add that I really like how your quilt turned out!!
Boy, that really turned out perfectly, didn’t it? Well done, Karen! And so many great lessons included! Thanks.
All of your videos have made a difference in my growth and experiences as a piecer and fledgling quilter. Thank you 🎉. Debra
so glad to hear. Makes all the hard work worth the effort. 🤗🤗🤗
WOW ! Love the finished quilt.
Hi Nancy, How's your day going with you
Great to see all your beautiful sampler blocks Karen. Your sashings were perfect choice.♥️🇦🇺
Offsetting is a great idea!
Hello! I hope you were able to have a little bit of fun today! I was trying to sew, chatting with my daughter and playing with my granddaughter today. I now glad to be sitting and watching your video. Thank you for posting this and your time.
I love the finished quilt!
Wow I love how it turned out.
I really need to work on my sashing techniques. I may be intermediate+ in many areas of quilting but I am a novice in sashing and avoid it whenever possible which negatively impacts what could have been a better quilt. Must learn more! Thank you for the vlogs.
Thanks for another really useful video. You are a natural teacher, and I have learned so much from you!
I like the gray!
What a beautiful quilt 😍 I'm learning so much from your videos. Thank you so much!
Beautiful.... I love your quilt.
