Health problems are a bummer. 2024 will be my year for said issues. I’m slowly on the mend and can sew again which is great cuz it’s my therapy. Love your xmas quilt with the messy red backing. I’m interested in trying that kind of backing, guess you just have to accept the mess and clean up later. And I love both scrappy and striped bindings. 👍🏻💕

there is SO much I can relate to in this video! I will just keep it to one anecdote: when I first started quilting, my local store had a Wednesday night quilt 'club', where we'd pick a pattern and spend the month making the top. About 4 months in, someone chose a design from a magazine. It turns out it was the designer's first published design, and she had designed it in EQ6 or EQ7 (I forget and it was a long time ago). Well, talk about what looks cool in a digital design program vs what can be done in person! I could tell this person just went to town designing all kinds of elements that look very cool but are difficult to accurately sew. I had only been sewing for maybe 5 or 6 months. This thing had so many snowball/diamond rectangles/HSTs that it was almost impossible to get everything to fit together. It was essentially a 9-patch, but each patch was its own complicated design. When I put my rows together, my center row was a 1/2" short on each side. Thankfully I was able to trim down the blocks without too much angst, and I added sashing to help cover some of it (the original design didn't have sashing). That ended up being the end of our Wed night quilting club, because we kept extending additional months so people could keep working on it, and in the end, I was the only one who finished it. Others moved on to other projects and we just sort of drifted off to our own projects. :/

I've come over from Kristen's channel. I'm about to watch the third video in the series but I will return to watch more of yours.

This is so exciting to me! I have not been brave enough to make a competition quilt and I have never made a collaborative quilt. But you and Kristin make it seem so fun and DOABLE that I am now very tempted to try both.

Hope to see you both at FOQ; not long to go now. I shall look for your collaborative quilt, hope it does well.

Looking forward to the reveal and looking forward to seeing you at the Birmingham Quilt Show, if I were younger and closer I would love to attend.

Hello Tom, thank you for this video - have been watching it again for inspiration and to get me sewing again when I can take my summer annual leave soon. Can I ask what are the colours you used for the chromatic crackle quilt please? I think you said one of them was pomegranate, but am curious what the yellow and blue colours were. Thank you!

Breathing is good. Haha Glad you enjoyed the process! Can't wait to see the finished quilt!

I’m so excited to see this. Honestly so excited!!! 😂 Also Tom, you’re so bloody adorable!!!!!! 🎉

Big difference between finished and unfinished sizes! You will never make that mistake again!

Looking forward to seeing your quilt next week. I’m really looking forward to my first visit to festival of quilts and I’ll hopefully see lots of the people I follow on IG and YT. I like quilt maths too and everyone thinks I’m weird, but the design of a quilt is one of my favourite parts of quilt making. I’ve never done a collaboration on a quilt but it sounds like a lot of fun. Well done getting it finished in time.

I make a quilt the way you do. I spend a lot of time thinking and sleeping on my ideas. Look forward to seeing part 3 and 4

I cant wait for your _____ novel "Sew it to Completion"

Thanks for sharing

You two are awesome and appreciate that you are being honest about your process - looking forward to your reveal❤ having only done a round robin (or two). Best of luck at the show

I was laughing watching at our deadline ridiculousness!! 😂

Hey Tom, I think it’s really great that you are branching out and trying new things, but I wish you would continue with your “behind the blocks season two”. Those of us who have bought all the fabric, cut out the blocks and started this project are waiting to get on with it and finally finish this project. It’s pretty discouraging to be left hanging halfway through like this. Please post the next block as soon as possible, or maybe just give us the rest of the instructions so we can finish on our own. Thanks.

Great video.

Grrr! You're making us wait for the final reveal! Give Kristen your scraps; they'll be gold to her!

Grr.i do not find the First part.😢

Love this. Thank you

Where do I get pattern.

Thank you so much for this (and your other videos in the series)! I've been getting bored of just quilting in a grid pattern, and it's so nice to have some alternative ideas. My little machine feels a lot less limited now :)

Yes know how you fell about the UFO'S have five sitting in a cupboard with not much to do to finish them. Always something new to start🤪Desley🇦🇺

Thanks for sharing

Hearing talk about color blindness makes me realize that my "disability" is sound. I work in silence by choice. I took out the car radio so I can concentrate on the road. Music in videos is so distracting I can barely process the words.... that likely ARE important. Seconds into video I hit mute. But the words are gone then too, and I click NEXT! Revelation )))

Beautiful job

Hi thanks for the video and the pdf.. I have one doubt

This is fabulous. I have spent weeks trying to find a quilting design for a 50 inch square fpp dog block. It has hundreds of random pieces at random angles, and this is the perfect quilting design for it. Will also assist in dodging those very bulky sections.

To help seams go through your machine easier, try a stiletto. Saves fingers and really assists!

I love your work! Keep going, I have trouble with my eyes also, I usually stitch before noon. Stitching is my therapy!

I feel less bad about the quilt sandwich sitting for 18 months that just needs two hours of quilting 😅 to make it ready for binding and gifting 😂

Enjoyed this so much!Can’t wait to find your follow up video!

Loved your review of 2023. I'm like you I'm all enthusiastic to start a project and then when I get to a bit that I think might be difficult it goes in a box. I'm glad I'm not the only one with a pile of UFO's that only need quilting. Looking forward to seeing what you do in the rest of 2024.

When I quilt a grid like this, why would I get puckers with my walking foot and none without?

Love your videos.

Missed you 😢

I don't like that much fidelity bits in quilts either. Just not my thing

so inspiring

Enjoyed your Quilt Review.

Very pretty quilts! Cleaver designs very artsy modern. So much can be done with jyst solids. I just don't have the imagination to do them. You do🤩

Lots of UFO's but am concentrating on doing 3 at a time as I have 3 sewing machines. I just go from one to the other, enjoy each pattern, and don't worry about it. All of my UFO's will eventually get done. I am doing your BOM now and enjoying this but I am not calling this a UFO!😃🥰

Thanks for sharing your 2023 year with us.

28:30 You are justifiably proud of your Christmas quilt.

14:04 Haha! Tidying… hidy-ing! I so relate!

3:00 You know, I think sometimes we are so caught up in finishing a project, we fail to enjoy the process. Pinning to ensure accuracy is sometimes part of the process. I really like that pattern, fiddly as it is.
