Yes, more tank tops. Please! I am going through menopause and I cannot wear t-shirts! They are just too hot, LOL! I would absolutely love some quilting tank top shirts period love you Pat.
@PatSloan I love how you don't stress. Not enough fabric to cut one more 10 " block. Just piece a strip on to make it 10". Block slightly too small. Just add a strip. You also have built a stash with a thought out idea so you don't have to shop for more fabric. You usually can make something you have work and you are organized enough to quickly find it. Thanks for walking us through you thought processes. Thanks for showing me how Not to stress.
I do use a lot of solids for backgrounds and for backing sometimes. When I first started quilting I was scared to use all the beautiful prints because they didn't "match." I have evolved!
Yes! I love solids. I like white backgrounds on lots of quilts but thanks to you am expanding my use of other colors. I don't like quilts that are too 'busy'. You inspire me to 'get out of my box' and try something else!!
I thought the pattern showed the narrow end of the scrappy block towards the center of the block and the wider part to the outer edge. My brain is spinning since I saw you sew the first block together. Either way looks great, Love your videos, I watch with my coffee every day.
Yes, we use solid fabrics. Great for inner borders, sashing, borders and bindings. Solid help to set off a favorite very busy fabric or tone down a section/block on a quilt. lots of time, the solid is more of an accent piece.
Hi Pat, Plans this summer.. complete a “Chemo quilt” for a family member to use during treatment this summer, finish a baby quilt for my newest grandchild due in Sept in Australia! Also of course I have the Liberty box and am hoping to join in Star of Wonder wal. Good thing I am retired😅 Happy Summer, great time for a new tank top!😁
I'm not a fan of solids except as background. I have leftovers from quilts. I'm thinking of cutting them up into 2.5" squares for a colorful background in a scrappy quilt.
I do have a collection of solids. Pinks, beiges, tans, and off whites for skin tones. Mostly, I go to that pile when I can't find the right shade/color that I'm looking for in the prints. Happy Canada Day! Love the scrap/crumb blocks and how you are using them.
Great show Pat! So much to share🤣🤣 Looking forward to the pics if VA Quilt Museum. I do use and love solids. They’re great for pulling fabrics together, adding variations and backgrounds! The tank top will be a great addition to your collection! Spot on for this heart wave most of us are experiencing 🥵
Doing a shop hop one year I collected solid fat quarters. I used them in a queen sized log cabin style pattern. it's our summer quilt and currently on our bed. The left overs went into a scrappy irish chain which I donated for a raffle. Both turned out fantastic!
An enjoyable show as always. I keep a bolt of Kona white, snow and black on hand at all times. I love working with prints and find one of these solids seem to always work with the prints. Like you said, they cost a bit less and really make the prints pop. I'm hoping the FQS stocks up on your Porch Swing 2 1/2" strips or that I am the lucky winner. Thank You as always. Learn something new every day.
Yes, Pat I use both solids and print. I buy single pieces and bundles for specific projects mainly. I’m doing a particular quilt pattern at the moment by Bonnie K Hunter. ❤❤
I have used Kona, white and Kona snow before. I won some colored solids years ago, and I made two baby quilts with them. But a pattern I wrote, I will be using a Bella black solid. Pat you might want to check your block placement. You should have the smaller (scraps portion) turned in to the center. You have the large portion in the center.
I hate solids....they are so boring. I don't even use solids in backgrounds. I like some sort of texture like the grunge fabrics, blotches, batiks, etc. to make it interesting. I was very turned off with the Halloween Mystery quilt in all solids this time. The samples shown in prints looked so much better. I think the popularity of solids is returning, but you won't see them in my sewing room.
Hi Pat, I think your your scrap blocks on mid blue, look great. But I'm wondering if the narrow parts of the scrap piece should be towards the centre, and the wider part, be on the outside, in order to form the Don Quixote block from the book.
Love to watch your videos. My plans this summer is to spend as much time with family as possible. July 4th everyone is coming to my house to celebrate. Always a fun time with my children and grandchildren. Hope you are enjoying summer as well. Would love the shirt and jelly foll.
I use so.ids for sashing and borders. I use them in QOVs especially when I have a panel to accent. Purple quilts? Mmmm… I made one, but been awhile so not sure where a pic will be.
I never use solids, just boring to me to look at. I tried to make a minecraft quilt for grandkids with solids and the blocks dissappeared and I just couldn't get into it again. Not saying they aren't pretty but I just dont get excited buying them😂
I rarely use solids. Right now, however, I'm working on a wedding quilt that is scrappy but I am using a black solid for part of the pieced border blocks. It will be very striking. I think solids are great if you want the quilting to stand out.They are also great as backgrounds. I'm not a big fan of quilts that are made of all solids. I tend to find them boring to look at. I definitely think they have their purpose and that they aren't used enough. I need to work on that.
I just made my one of my grandsons a Minecraft Quilt. The character is the Creeper. I made it with all five inch squares in different solid green colors. The creeper character itself is solid black squares. Green. Green. Green. I saw green in my sleep. It was suppose to have a pixel look so I had to make sure that the same color green was not together. Even after that I like solids.
Two things I don't have much of are white fabrics and solids. I seem to go for tone on tone fabrics or tiny prints that read solid. I find they make my quilts much more interesting (to me!) I love how organized you are. I am working on that!
I've been having fun sewing squares together on really light fusible. It's so much faster and more accurate than sewing them together two at a time. I'm thinking this postage stamp block would be a good candidate.
Ironically I am sorting all my solids mixed in my storage bins, to a container of their own, right now. I never made a quilt of all solids, but I just bought a bunch of Kona dk gray for a background to use all my solids for the blocks.
Hi Pat, I love the tank top and would like to have one! My plan for July is to make a baby quilt and next month to start quilts for a couple of birthdays. Love your videos!
I’m enjoying my summer so far, at the lake! I just told my husband that you would love it there. I made white and red polka dot curtains for the kitchen a few years ago!! 😉 Please enter me in your recent giveaway!
I use solids a lot. The younger crowd likes quilts with solids. I keep Moda snow around for background. I use the moda solid layout panel that list all the colors to make my choice. I also use solids for the backings. The price differential helps with costs.
MSQS had a layer cake of your Sleepover fabric on sale last week. Even though I have out a moretorium on fabric buying for a time just had to order it.
Tank t-shirts would be very nice for the summer live in Texas and yes things are very hot also I would like to try to see what I could do with your porch swing fabric. That would be very nice to try to do something nice for summer with the greens .All right you have a great day and thanks for all you do your channel is absolutely wonderful.
I just started collecting solids _ I didn’t realize they are priced less than prints! I also store my colors in a bin - then I have a bin for beiges/whites and a bin for grey and black .
I rarely use solids. When I buy a lot of a Moda fabric line, I sometimes buy the coordinating Bella solids if the designer specifies the correct colors to use. I have found that trying to pick out my own colors online results in my purchasing fabric that does not match. I prefer tone on tone prints.
I generally don’t ever use solids unless it’s my background. And mostly love a tone on tone background now. I keep at least one bolt of a solid onhand though so I can always have some in stash without always having to buy all the fabrics for a pattern.
In your don Quixote block you have the wide part of the scrap blocks in the center. I can't tell for sure..but in the pattern I think the wide part of the scrap block would be toward the outside edge. This makes it more like a windmill.
As you can see from my purple quilt on The Fireside Chat, I do use solids, but I like the ones that show motion or some type of weave or small print that reads solid. I use them to make something pop or tone down.
Happy Canada Day! to all my fellow Canadians lurking here with Pat every morning :). Enjoying a day off and the last Canada Day for some time where it lines up with a weekend. Completing the quilting on my Figtree Canned Pears Quilt. It's all "push and mush" through my domestic. Looking forward to having it done for summer. I have had to pause Pat's QAL for Christmas in July to advance this summer cutie.
I need to make a quilt for my granddaughter and she has Jewel tones maroon, dark green and dark blue. Are there any suggestions on a beginner pattern? Thanks
Have you seen the latest postage stamp white striped fabric by Allison Glass, it looks perforated so u can make a stamp looking large blocks. You buy running yard of it in various colors. Gives a new meaning to a postage stamp quilt. Check it out. Kinda cool.
I quilt with scraps and I am given lots by friends who are not scrap quilters. I save my solids to use for appliques. Of course sometimes I have the perfect print for a lions body or a boats sail. It's amazing how non matching fabrics look great in kids quilts.
I love how tough don't seem to get stressed by having so many projects running! And all beautiful! I moved to a vacation area least year and this will be my first full year of enjoying everything it offers (and having time and space for the first time in many years to again enjoy quilting). Have a good day my friend. 😊
Never seen a quilter's tank top before, would definitely love to win this giveaway....and your fabric makes this 100% the perfect giveaway this summer!!! Thank you!
Depends on the type of fabric. Will it be a border or background or backing? i'd get more. Novelty print? I'd get a FQ.. it really depends on the fabric and what i think i might use it for
Hi Pat, I am loving the scrappy Don Quixote blocks! This quilt is going to be so colorful and what a good way to get rid of some fabric scraps😊 Now if I can just gather my scraps and sit and sew them into blocks. Thanks for showing this project. Wishing you a Happy July 4th.❤️
Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦🎉 I don’t use solids very much. Even for background fabrics, I use tone on tone or low volume prints! The closest I’ve come to using solids is grunge, since they still have a texture to them.
Good Morning Pat from coastal California! 🐬You have inspired me to tackle some purchased and home made kits and panel projects this summer - making really good progress… 💪 Current kit is all solids. Otherwise, Grunge more my go-to solid, some tone on tones. BTW, love those two panels that show multiple Bella solids & multiple Kona solids - handy tool for color reference. Need a Grunge one! ❤
I do use solids, but usually just with other solids rather than mixed with prints.The exception is backgrounds - I have used solids for backgrounds many times.
I love the new scrappy (wonky) quilt. It looks like such fun! I also don't tend to use many solids and I've really never thought much about it until your talk today. HMMM! My summer fun will be sitting on my patio and enjoy the weather (if it ever stays nice HA).
Y es! I use solids. I have a shelf of my bookshelf filled with solids. Then I have many yards of black, white and cream. I studied AMish quilts and made many minis of those and then branched off to design my own using solids. These are mostly wall pieces, a few large quilts. I often look at all my prints and wonder "where will I use those?" The opposite of your thoughts! Love your videos! Everyone needs connections.
Summer plans are to hopefully get a vacation in before I babysit my new granddaughter for the school season, while mama goes back to work. Plus get some of my UFOs finished, loved your idea on getting quilt labels done ahead of time! Happy Sewing!
Solids? Yes, I do use them , but not as much as prints. Solids tend to spot and show it, so since I make so many kids quilts, prints tend to be better for them. However, I started piecing and quilting around the time of the bicentennial. That was also when the Amish Quilts were of great interest (Esprit collection). They used mostly solids, I think it was prescribed by their Church order. So... I started using/collecting solids as I wanted to make some of their designs. Over the years, I have made other quilts to feature solids, but I mostly work with patterns. Currently I am doing a mystery sew along with solids and I do love the way the colors are really highlighted using solids.

Thank you!
Yes, more tank tops. Please! I am going through menopause and I cannot wear t-shirts! They are just too hot, LOL! I would absolutely love some quilting tank top shirts period love you Pat.
I love scrappy quilts. Yes. Memories. Scrappy and string quilts! Stash busters!
Love tank tops, 107 here today in Northern California. I plan to visit family in my home state of Washington.
@PatSloan I love how you don't stress. Not enough fabric to cut one more 10 " block. Just piece a strip on to make it 10". Block slightly too small. Just add a strip.

I worked at Joann's for 8 yrs. I won't need fabric until I'm 100 yrs old. 😂

That is a great sleeveless top, I wear them in summer, it's very hot where I live in California. I have several of her shirts and love them.
So glad to hear you're liking the tees!! XO
Love the Alaska fabric. It's classy, not kitchy. Looking forward to what you do with these.
Yes, we use solid fabrics. Great for inner borders, sashing, borders and bindings. Solid help to set off a favorite very busy fabric or tone down a section/block on a quilt. lots of time, the solid is more of an accent piece.

I don’t like using solids at all. I will usually choose a Moda Grunge, which I love, or maybe Robin Pickins “Thatched”.

I use solids for my Seminole patchwork garments, but I do have a collection of 100 %cotton solid fabrics that I like to use with some prints.
I use so.ids for sashing and borders. I use them in QOVs especially when I have a panel to accent.
Purple quilts? Mmmm… I made one, but been awhile so not sure where a pic will be.

I don't use alot of solids for some reason. I did, however, use some bright solids recently in a baby quilt.
Happy Canada day to all our Canadian friends.
I generally don’t ever use solids unless it’s my background. And mostly love a tone on tone background now. I keep at least one bolt of a solid onhand though so I can always have some in stash without always having to buy all the fabrics for a pattern.
In your don Quixote block you have the wide part of the scrap blocks in the center. I can't tell for sure..but in the pattern I think the wide part of the scrap block would be toward the outside edge. This makes it more like a windmill.
I love solids! And yes, I use them to accent my prints.
HELP!! I went to Pat Sloan Website but cannot find where to enter for the tank top giveaway.
I love quilts made with solids, but never seem to have any, so now have a solids subscription from FQS.
Love your March Block a Day quilt. This is my favorite pattern I’ve made this year! A pattern I’d do over and over!
As you can see from my purple quilt on The Fireside Chat, I do use solids, but I like the ones that show motion or some type of weave or small print that reads solid. I use them to make something pop or tone down.
I use solid fabrics for stripping and Sashing. Thanks for all you do.
Happy Canada Day !!
Do not use solids very often. I will use them for backings sometimes.
I rarely use solids except in backgrounds. I just prefer the movement of prints.
I might use solids a little to coordinate with my prints. I do use Solids as backings sometimes.
I prefer solids to prints. I find them easier to work with. I don't look at the brand, as long as I like the color.
I rarely use solids except for background.
I don’t use solids, except perhaps for binding. I feel they look flat and prefer to use tone on tone instead.
I have some solids but they are definitely not something I use much at all. Just not something appeals to me.
Not big on solids but may use for a binding. I don’t typically keep many in my stash
Why not add 2 smalls together make a bigger block? No need to build it out?😀
Was that an oopsie sewing your blocks together with the narrow ends facing out?
You'll need to post which states you have so we don't duplicate them for you.
I don’t really use solids unless they are textured. And the solids that I have used just - raveled too much.
I’m not a big fan of using solids and only do it when there’s no other workable option! 😊
I would love to be considered for the tank top prize! What a joy!
My summer plans include longarm quilting my queen oh my stars and completing a tshirt quilt. I enjoy the videos so much!
I think you have turned turned the block around when putting it together, I see it as the narrower end toward the center?
Happy Canada Day! to all my fellow Canadians lurking here with Pat every morning :). Enjoying a day off and the last Canada Day for some time where it lines up with a weekend. Completing the quilting on my Figtree Canned Pears Quilt. It's all "push and mush" through my domestic. Looking forward to having it done for summer. I have had to pause Pat's QAL for Christmas in July to advance this summer cutie.
Happy Canada Day from Alberta
I buy a bolt of solid once in a while but really prefer fabric that reads solid or has a tiny print scattered.
I need to make a quilt for my granddaughter and she has Jewel tones maroon, dark green and dark blue. Are there any suggestions on a beginner pattern? Thanks
ask in my quilt community
I use solids a lot. I can usually find it easier to blend colors on some prints. But also like ombre.
Hi! Pat, I never use solids, I love tone on tones especially in whites.
Don’t use solids often, prefer the texture prints bring to a quilt
I use solids all the time. It helps me to balance the busy fabric.
I use solid fabric as backgrounds in quilts.
Have you seen the latest postage stamp white striped fabric by Allison Glass, it looks perforated so u can make a stamp looking large blocks. You buy running yard of it in various colors. Gives a new meaning to a postage stamp quilt. Check it out. Kinda cool.
i've seen her pattern, didn't see the fabric yet, i'll look!
I think the wide end should be turned to the out side edge of the block like a fan blade
I absolutely love your purple scrap quilt. This is on my bucket list
Trying to use what is in my stash. Love solids
Jlooks like pearl instead of white!
Ohhhh… I really, really want the Alaska fabric… can you share the name, so I can order it? TIA
no name on it. Batiks have no selvage. Just contact a shop in Alasaka
is Grunge a solid because I use a lot of Grunge
I use solids all the time..can't have enough
I generally use solids as binding. I seldom use solids in piecing.
I quilt with scraps and I am given lots by friends who are not scrap quilters. I save my solids to use for appliques. Of course sometimes I have the perfect print for a lions body or a boats sail. It's amazing how non matching fabrics look great in kids quilts.
Love your videos every morning! Even when vacationing! Thank you!
Yay! Thank you!
I do use solids… I mix with prints.
I love how tough don't seem to get stressed by having so many projects running! And all beautiful! I moved to a vacation area least year and this will be my first full year of enjoying everything it offers (and having time and space for the first time in many years to again enjoy quilting). Have a good day my friend. 😊
Never seen a quilter's tank top before, would definitely love to win this giveaway....and your fabric makes this 100% the perfect giveaway this summer!!! Thank you!
I prefer tone on tone over solids
Pat, I have a question. How much yardage should one purchase when fabric is on sale?? I usually get 1-2 yards. Would a little more be a better idea?
Depends on the type of fabric. Will it be a border or background or backing? i'd get more. Novelty print? I'd get a FQ.. it really depends on the fabric and what i think i might use it for
@@PatSloan thank you. Will take your suggestions to thought.
Hi Pat, I am loving the scrappy Don Quixote blocks! This quilt is going to be so colorful and what a good way to get rid of some fabric scraps😊 Now if I can just gather my scraps and sit and sew them into blocks. Thanks for showing this project. Wishing you a Happy July 4th.❤️
Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦🎉

Summer plans are to hopefully get a vacation in before I babysit my new granddaughter for the school season, while mama goes back to work. Plus get some of my UFOs finished, loved your idea on getting quilt labels done ahead of time! Happy Sewing!
Solids? Yes, I do use them , but not as much as prints. Solids tend to spot and show it, so since I make so many kids quilts, prints tend to be better for them. However, I started piecing and quilting around the time of the bicentennial. That was also when the Amish Quilts were of great interest (Esprit collection). They used mostly solids, I think it was prescribed by their Church order. So... I started using/collecting solids as I wanted to make some of their designs. Over the years, I have made other quilts to feature solids, but I mostly work with patterns. Currently I am doing a mystery sew along with solids and I do love the way the colors are really highlighted using solids.
