GETTING STARTED with the CIVIL WAR SEW-ALONG
Actually like bolder better
great i cant wait to get the permission to join the group on FB. to get the pattern. bless!
I am so happy to have found this! The steps work perfectly and make sense. I will reference each and every time I bind since there are steps that I can’t seem to keep in my brain after all these years of doing it differently. Thank you, Karen.
Where are these diagrams located please?
Found it thank you anyway
Is this a repeat video
These are the segments of the videos that were posted on the Nine Patch a Day Group Facebook page without the other conversation and Q&A.
Well, #40 may or may not make it into my quilt. It is pretty and I like the Sam Houston story but squaring up for the 8 1/2” block did not give me a seam allowance. Whoops. Not quite sure where I strayed but all the points are the same (I was consistent ☺️). Perhaps those T’s will just have a little flair when I add sashing and I’ll call it good.
August 9 note: just finished July blocks after life provided some delays, as it can do. THANK YOU so much for the construction steps of #36!! That was very helpful… and fun. Looking forward to piecing the rest with you.
Thank you. You are the first person who has described exactly how I think about fabric and how I use fabric. And until i found you, everyone I heard said store your scraps by colour. I store my fabric by style, modern, brights, antique etc.
Thank you. I appreciate the larger measurements. I don't mind trimming to make the block for the correct size.
Thank you
Thank you. I really appreciate all your tips and the larger piece dimensions.
Thank you Karen.
Oh I enjoyed this video! It’s very helpful! I’m excited to look up some Bonnie Hunter patterns. I inherited my grandmothers entire fabric stash and Bonnie’s advice sounds like just the thing!
Thanks, Karen, for your help in assembling block 36. With your excellent instruction it went together perfectly. I am so enjoying this project. Nancy Schulz
Thanks Karen for all your great tips & techniques in putting these blocks together.
U r such a GREAT teacher!!!
Thank you!
Thanks for your teachings. I love it:)
Hi, where can I buy this beautiful fabric?
Red Pine Quilt Shop has it on their website: www.redpinequiltshop.com/shop/Fabric/By-Designer/Karen-Montgomery.htm
Great information! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Really liked your aunt's quilt. I prefer a totally scrappy look. Perhaps i should want my projects of that type to be more structured , but to me, it would then be just another planned pattern quilt. I like the random improv look. But i do agree on not getting too excited and sewing them together too soon, so you dont get color or prints off balance, lol, been there and done that 😅.
On my #15 block, I decided to make life easier, so I drafted it as a 9" on EQ and then printed it as an 8" paper piecing pattern. I love the way it came out.
Thank you very much for sharing your quilting expertise with me. I really appreciate how you have modified the piecing. ❤️
My mom-in -law bought this book for me as a thank you for pet sitting. I have a gorgeous fat quarter bundle by Laundry Basket Quits that I have been saving for a special quilt. I must admit that I looked through the book and was intimidated by it. I’m a new quilter, so I am so happy and excited about your sew along. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and techniques with me. 😃
Oh good, I'm late getting started because I just received my book, and I have that same fabric bundle, so I'm going to copy you😊
I've never been drawn to Civil War quilts. Garnet & Gingham collection is very appealing. Looking forward to another project.
Your new Kim Diehl garnet colors are beautiful! I’m using mostly her fabrics for my blocks plus bits of Jo Morton, Pam Buda and Paula Barnes. Love this project and thanks for the help with construction. Nice.
Thank you for your excellent tutorial. You gave some excellent tips about using and removing stabilizer. Thank you! They would have eliminated frustration on previous machine appliqué projects! I’m looking forward to making the tree skirt!
These blocks are challenging my brain power.
Beautiful blocks. Fabric choices are great! The reds are rich 😊
Thank you Karen. I have to agree Kim Diehls fabric is beautiful. Can't wait for it to come to my quilt shop.
Karen Could You Please tell me the name of the Color Referencing Tool You use. The one that is a set of 3 x 5 cstds
It is called the "Essential Color Card Deck" by Joan Wolfrom for C&T Publishing.
Thanks Karen ! I have 5 substitute blicks made fir just this situation..so i will substitute it for 27.. this has been a great sew along and I am learning so much. Have a great week !
Thank you!
I have picked various colors and put them in a box. All my blocks will be made from this box. They are all different colors, and I think by the last block I will have enough representation of each color to make it cohesive.
Thank you so much. What muslin are you using? The one I bought in the quilt shop, is very hard to sew in. Are all like that, or there are some more manageable? Anyone can answer my question. I’m new (2 years) in the quilting world…😊
My tan fabric is by Stacie West for Henry Glass Fabrics. It is called "Timeless Linen Basics". It is 100% cotton printed to look like a linen fabric. It is not muslin. You can find the fabric I am using in quilt shops, it comes in several colors.
Thank you!! I have to redo block 11 as it finished way too small. This helps a lot!
I love "the dog's breakfast" quilt. I have made many of Bonnie's quilts. I could see "the dog's breakfast" quilt with a stopping border and another round of a different type of block, another stopping border, and finally a piano key border.
Finally! Someone who recognizes the true meaning of a scrap quilt! Quilts made from coordinated precuts are beautiful; however, they are not, I repeat not, scrap quilts. True scrap quilts are made from, guess what? SCRAPS from your stash! I make scrap quilts that are color coordinated, and usually with small pieces. Loved this presentation!
Enjoy your video very much.
Absolutely inspired, thank you.
Thank you for these videos. I am yet to get the book but hope to watch all the videos again when I do. One question...I watched you select fabrics for the overall project but how did you select colours for each block? Did you have in mind which block would go next to which, etc in selecting the fabrics and colours?
Some great tips here! Thank you!
I have learned so much thank you!
Beautiful quilts, thank you for the video! I especialy love the No Mud in my Garden quilt. Do you have a video on how to make that quilt?
Oh - I love the Hunter Star quilt. That's my color range. Thanks Karen for all the insights. I also really like the flower wall hanging.
Thanks Karen❤
The dogs breakfast is my favorite it would be a wonderful baby quilt its a happy quilt😊
I haven’t been able to sew blocks for the Civil War Quilt-along, but I am following along with your monthly videos and via member posts in the Nine Patch a Day FB group. I thoroughly enjoy seeing how small changes in color placement can make the blocks look very different. Thanks for all you do, Karen! You’re one of my favorite teachers.
Very interesting thankyou 😊
