Thank you so much!!! For both compliments! I watched some videos on figuring out your "season" and decided I'm a cool summer. I found a printout with the colors best for that season, and I've been buying anything new I get in those colors. Some of the choices seem really odd, but they do seem to work. I already had this shirt from years ago, and it fits my color palette. I prefer gold and warmer tones but they don't suit me as well as cooler tones do. Especially now with my gray hair. My hair used to be almost black, so I was a totally different season as a younger person.
Didn’t realize how much I need a color wheel in my life!!! I’ll be getting me one ASAP 🥳. I love pinks and shop the same way you do. I look for what I use, on sale, pick that up and if it’s not on sale, will just wait until I can get a deal. Very nice quilt and 🙏🏻 for your mom.
I'm really glad that color wheel demo helped! It's a good way to pick out your color ideas if you are making something different from a specified pattern. This one is a great one to start with because you can pick a range of color values and play within that range. The best advice I can give, is to trust the process. Yeah the sale prices are more and more important these days. I did pick up quilt batting to put away for later and last night got a great deal on Olfa blades to put away. These things will all last me a good while, so I purchase items like that to store for later. And thank you, it's been a really difficult weekend for mom and I'm totally worn out.
I love the pink! And I love this idea. So freeing and creative! Also enjoyed the color wheel discussion. I'm going to do as you suggested and keep my color wheel with me at the fabric store. Thanks for sharing this Patty!
I made a variation of this with the square blocks only one on either other end to offset the seams. It was called the brick wall quilt and you're right, they are the fastest quilts ever, but so pretty! I still love to look at mine.
Lovely quilt!! Love all your videos, fun to get back to quilting! Sometimes we just need to sew! I feel cheated on those days I don’t get to spend time sewing!
Thank you so much!! I have a video and blog post that goes into more detail on how I set everything up if you're interested! It is linked in the description. I loved this project!
I don't know how the prices of batting compare, but have you looked into Quilter's Dream batting that is made in Virginia Beach and the fibers are grown by American farmers? Your quilt is beautiful. You did a really nice job on it. Thank you.❤
That's a great tip actually! I had forgotten about them. I'll look more closely into them. I just have a tendency to buy from Joann on sale and using using coupons. Actually, they sent me a 25% off total order and I'm probably going to break my no spend rule because the price on the Pellon is just too good for me to pass up. And thank you!! I love this project! I was so easy but it's also so pretty.
Good morning, Patty thank you so much for giving me the insipiration to make my First Quilt. I love watching your detailed and fun videos. I have a Singer Brillance 6180 Hmm sound familiar, can you give me your expertise on what needle size needle i should use when I begin sandwiching my cotton topper, 80/20 batting, cotton backing? Also should i add 4" to each side of the quilt? Thank you so much for all that you do for us all.
I"m so happy to hear this!! I use the same needle to do the quilting that I piece on. I would not worry about adding any border to this. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine! I absolutely LOVE mine! It's on my bed right now. Thank you for watching and for trying something new! This is such a great first quilt!
That is great news. I know it certainly helped in my case. I certainly feel for you. I know you must be so overwhelmed and exhausted. You’re a great daughter! You are making a difference in your mom’s golden years. Hugs. Hang in there.
I always get it from Joann on sale. It's the Pellon double packs of 80/20 cotton batting in queen sizes. Last time I bought it, which was last month I bought two packs, so a set of 4 and they ran about $16 a package. Which is pretty good. I also like the Warm White batting a LOT but the Pellon is cheaper and I wanted a few packages put away for later.
Thank you Susan! It's not going very well and I'm quagmired with paper work and getting things in place so I'm not scrambling when the time comes. I'm completely exhausted and just doing my best to get through each day. Mom's spirits are pretty good but her body is starting to fail, so it's been a rough ride over here. I'm just doing my best to take care of her without doing serious injury to my back. It's a lot to think about and planning for what I'm going to do when I'm alone.
Love your pink quilt! And, you are lucky to be able to look so pretty in lime green! Thanks for showing the color wheel.

Enjoyed your video, Patty! Can’t wait for so more! ❤ Your ideas and sharing your knowledge of quilting! Thank you, Thank you!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!!

Thanks so much! It's such a pretty quilt!! I still have it hanging up and everyone comments on it!
My daughter loves pink. I made her a pink rag quilt for her dorm room. This would be a perfect quilt for her first home when that time comes.
Oh gosh did I have fun making this one!! the mismatching and easy piecing made it super fun.
I made a variation of this with the square blocks only one on either other end to offset the seams. It was called the brick wall quilt and you're right, they are the fastest quilts ever, but so pretty! I still love to look at mine.
Oh yes!!! I know what you're talking about! Offset seams are the BEST! This quilt is currently on my bed and it's sooooo pretty!
I like this colour wheel. Easy to understand
I like it too! I looked at so many of them and this one has a lot of useful info in one wheel
Lovely quilt!! Love all your videos, fun to get back to quilting! Sometimes we just need to sew! I feel cheated on those days I don’t get to spend time sewing!
Thank you so much!! Now that I got restarted I can't stop!! And I'm having so much fun with it.

I love pink too
It's probably my favorite color!
I love the colors of this quilt, very happy feel.
Thank you!! I agree!! I notice in my usual work, it has a lot of darker values so this one is quite different from my usual work. In a good way!
Thank you for going in depth about your beautiful quilt ❤❤❤
Thank you Kim! I wasn't sure how this would be received, but I think people like it. I appreciate you watching!

@@PattymacMakes ok, thank you so much for replying so quickly .
@@thomaskarenroggenkamp1027 I do my best to reply to comments within a day or two.
Can you get Hospice involved? They can help bath your mom and help with other things.
I met with the doctor this morning and she's sending the referral so I hope I can get help in here next week.
That is great news. I know it certainly helped in my case. I certainly feel for you. I know you must be so overwhelmed and exhausted.
You’re a great daughter! You are making a difference in your mom’s golden years.

What was the name of the shop you bought this kit , I realize it was a while ago you made this purchase.
Maker Valley! Very nice shop!
Hi Patti. Been thinking about you and your mom, how are things going ?
