I love breaking the rules so thank you for making the idea of quilting FUN! You're a great instructor and I love how you think outside of the box! Thank you! And your hanging quilt is BEAUTIFUL!
Hope you can still see comments! Thank you for posting this. When I decided I needed help and took a series of piecing classes, I worked myself up to advanced piecing. Yes, I can do it. Was it fun anymore? NO! I was so anxious about fabric selection and just perfection. An more experienced quilter told me to just let go. I joined a group that had an exercise designed to help us be 'more authentic' in our quilting. Everyone had to bring at least one piece of fabric made from something at home...husbands shirt, skirt, sheet...anything. We put the pieces in a paper bag and passed it around, choosing blindly...then we had to use it. Step two. Decide on you fabric within 30 minutes! Years later, I still get anxious about this. I so love what you did...it is definitely more authentic and artistic. Thank you and I'm getting one of those books!
I am so happy to see this idea of having fun while quilting because I can't seem to follow patterns very well. Allowing my mind to be free is great inspiration to pull out the sewing machine. Again, thanks.
Thank you so very much for doing this video!! I find all the rules far too restrictive for my creativity!☺ And...I don't care for the over use of colour...pattern and design, in the quilts today! I prefer a quilt to be a reflection of me, rather than what everyone else is doing!!🤭
Thanks for sharing how to break the rules and demonstrating the wonderful projects that result! I have a question about the rectangles whose centers are pink, green, etc. Are the aqua borders pieced or does the aqua fabric have an interesting pattern that "looks" as if it's pieced? Thanks!
I am just starting out and I am so overwhelmed by the ways to do the different patterns!! But I really want to do my own patterns and have fun with my quilts. Is that okay??
Danielle absolutely! When i started it, i never ever used patterns. I learned how to do certain blocks, got soke graph paper and designed my own. Much more fun that way
Just one more thought. I should keep my thoughts to myself but what I see on UA-cam is that most are selling something. Selling courses, selling fabric, selling notions, building a business, building a subscribe list.... is there a master tutor?
I also realize that youtube is like entertainment TV. when you sell something like a course, or stuff it's like a commercial or infomercial. So you know. It's okay with me. I just am looking for a master to learn from. I am watching some of the tailors who make clothes and suits. I get a few tips from there
One more comment. This is not nice. There is a quilter on youtube. I call her speedracer. She makes a new quilt every few weeks. But she owns a fabric shop and uses the fabric she sells to make the quilt. So she demonstrates how the fabrics can be used. And that really good. She sells a lot and has lots of viewers. But I would say they and other are not the best quilters out there. When she makes a quilt it seems like she's teaching how to do it. But it's not what she's really doing I don't think.
Thank you. I'm a newbie to patchwork, so seeing new avenues for attaching pieces is so much fun.

Thank you for a wonderful video! Lots of fun ideas here. We LIVE by breaking the rules over at Chenille-it!
This is truly an amazing idea no waste at all. I see even the smallest piece left could still be used. Thank you for this video
Great idea!!
Glad you think so!

thank you. I have so many scraps. I was going to use them all for paper piecing some squares but this looks like so much fun!
I LOVE IT! YOUR QUILTS ARE GORGEOUS!
Thanks for this video, so very freeing!
Love it. Plan to use some pieces I've held on to for charity quilts.

Thank you! Cheers!
Loved this video, thanks.
thank you so much!
Love this, thank you
I wish you had given an idea of the sizes of your cut pieces. Love the tip about the stitch and flip for the points, never saw that before.
and I adore the yellow fabric with all the veggies on it!

What an appropriate name for this process. Liberated. Just as wonky as the liberalism in the world today. No rules makes for a wonky world

I wanted to see the quilt in the thumbnail, so I'm disappointed.
Sharon Martin Check out 4:41 She's describing the piecing, nor the entire quilt
