I have been quilting almost 40 years and I still learn cool things when I watch your videos. Love the ideas you gave for solving the problem of too few blocks.
OMG, Karen, thank you for this video and amazing charts. I’m so sorry to hear you were under the weather for a while, but glad to see you have recovered. Take it easy and rest often.
Karen, Thanks SO MUCH for the charts! I have over 600 - 6 1/2” blocks made by our Guild members to kit up for Community Service quilts. This video along with the charts will make the process so much easier! And it came just at the right time!
I just have to let you know that I think you are fabulous! 😃 Every video is amazing - filled with ideas, support and a wealth of knowledge. I really appreciate you and your hard work. Thank you! ❤️
THIS is THE treasure trove of all. Bookmark it. Save it. Download it. Print it. ALL THE THINGS. TY TY TY TY! Karen, you’re a beast and the best. ¡MUCHAS GRACIAS!
Thank you, Karen! Once again you have determined a very important challenge that affect us all. The handouts will be great. Looking forward to your next video!
So timely Karen. I have two sets of blocks waiting patiently to be made into a flimsy. After watching your video I'm ready to pull them out to see what I have. and use one ,or more of your suggestions to
Was sorry to hear you'd been dealing with health issues, glad you are doing better! We need your cheerful voice and sweet spirit in not only the quilting world, but in the world. Thank you for all you do for us quilters, we do love and appreciate you more than you know. I needed this video, as well as some of the others, but I don't have nearly as many orphan blocks!! LOL!!
I love all your ideas. Math is a challenge. Thank you for doing the charts you are sharing. Life is short and who has time at 76 for all that math. Hugs. Joan
Karen, thank you so much for all of this very useful quilting information. You are always so generous with your knowledge and it is very much appreciated. I can't wait to start using this great info! 🥰
I love your videos! If I had a quilting channel, it would be called "It's Good Enough Quilts!" Your videos inspire me to just go for it, without stressing too much. Small imperfections are only noticed by me.
Karen, thanks for the great video for what to do with orphan blocks. It’s just amazing how many quilt tops you put together from blocks you had made. I do like quilts with blocks on point, I’m going to have to make more of those. Thanks again. ❤
Hello, I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, love 💚 , and peace all over the world 🌏. I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind? I'm Gabriel Wood from Brooklyn New York, where are you from if I may ask?❤
Karen, thank you so much for all the great ideas and quilting information! In addition, I would like to ask God to bless you and to be with you to comfort you in your health difficulties! We love ❤️ you and need you around!
Wow, that is an amazing handout which must have been a tremendous amount of work to put together. Thank you so much, I'm sure it will be used many times over.
@@JustGetitDoneQuilts , oh! I'm so glad to hear you are doing better! You certainly have been busy! You go girl! Now you'll have plenty of tops to practice your long arming. 💖🌞🌵😷
Karen this is such a bonus for me. Thank you so much for all the information. Sometimes I get stuck with blocks and I have no idea what to do. But with your tutorial finally I will get my blocks and scraps into quilts. Thank for the math also, at wich I am terrible. Have a great day.
What a great idea for using scraps! Donating baby quilts to a hospital is such a worthy cause. Thank you for the very extensive chart to make calculations for sizes easier. Hope you are feeling better!!🥰☕️
Sorry to hear you were dealing with some health issues, I hope you are well now and are full of beans again as we say here in the UK, sending you hugs, take care❤
I have a bag of orphan blocks I was going to put on the free table at guild. I’m bringing it back into the house and see if I can make a quilt to donate! Love your videos!
Wow Karen! This was a fantastic video! I'm going to watch it again and again because there's so much good information, and then you topped it off with great handouts! Thanks so much and congrats on finishing 19 flimsies! 🎉
Your vlogs are so on spot. I watch them as they come out and go back to them when I want to apply what you’re teaching. What a great library resource. Thank you.
WOW! 19 quilts from orphan blocks? You are my hero! Thanks--this was fantastic information! I am inspired to dig around in my block bin and see what comes out!
my goodness- we've been away for 4 weeks, missed your ideas so much! Thanks so much- you gave ame a nother idea for my daughter's T shirt quilt, staggering blocks!
I make quilts for kids and babies in my local hospitals too for Project Linus for 6 years now so I have tons of unused blocks I knew I was saving them for something this will save me from having to buy fabric for while. Thanks so much and for the charts
Argh! Enough orphan blocks for 19 scrappy quilts, more or less 😮😢. Oh my goodness. That said, I love all the ideas for stitching blocks in and out with sashing or with larger pieces of background fabric/ I love the steps and staggered columns. Awesome 👏👏👏
This is a fabulous tutorial using up left over blocks/ fabrics. Especially utilize negative space if you don’t have enough blocks. 😉 thanks Karen. This video is a saver !
Karen, you are a wonderful source of ideas! I am bookmarking this video for when I have actual time to follow some of your layouts, especially the on point one. I think that really makes a quilt interesting. Thank you!
I agree that the one with the linen background using negative space is just smashing and can't go on a picnic!!! I can't believe how productive you have been. Oh, and I know you still have the adding machine quilt to show us at some future time. That one can't go on a picnic, either, just sayin'...
Karen, I am learning so much. I have taken a hiatus from quilting and am now to get back at it. And your videos have been so helpful in so many ways. I’m bing watching and getting super excited. Thanks
Karen I always find your videos very helpful and I also love watching the scrap quilts. They are my absolute favourites, as it’s a walk down memory lane, whilst sewing them.
This video couldn't have come at a better time! Our quilting group, #peacebypiecequilters are having our Sept mtg dealing with our orphan blocks. Its called "A Day at the Orphanage". Thank you so much. Im glad youre feeling better...❤
That is amazing that you were able to make so many quilts from the orphan blocks. It’s a good thing that you have a long arm machine now! Many thanks for all the charts! I cannot believe that you did all that!
The handout is FABULOUS! Thank you so much for saving so much time for a not very spatial person (why am I a quilter?? I ask myself that every time I cut or sew something just so I can rip it out. ;-)
You are such a resolutive person which surely you apply to everything and task in your life. I learn a lot from you, you are very creative and I much apreciate your tutorials. Hugs from a follower in Spain
Karen, thank you so much for the layout handouts! They are incredible. This will be so helpful as I have orphan blocks that I need to put together. I love your videos and have learned so much from watching them. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all you do for the quilting community.
Well what can I say, just when I thought the last video was great. Yet another great video is here. Thank you again for more videos, definitely worth saving. And rewatching again and again.
Skillshare is absolutely AMAZING!!!! I subscribed last night, and it has already taught me so many things I didn't know. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
I just live all the quick ideas, ideas to use up all these scraps and extra blocks. I almost always make more blocks than I need because most of the time I haven't decided how big I want a particular quilt to be. And once I get all that fabric cut up I just keep going. Thanks for ALL your efforts to get me motivated to make beautiful scrappy quilts. They are now my favorits.
I have so enjoyed your videos. I would like to ask you to do a show on managing a large quilt while quilting on a domestic machine. I have been so disappointed with the current videos available. So many talk about it but not once do they show how to do it. I can easily quilt the edge of a quilt, but how do you manage the middle of a quilt? Whether it be, straight line, free motion or doing ruler work. All I am doing is getting frustrated. I so want to quilt my own quilts as I can not keep quilting by checkbook and a long arm is impossible, not only financially but I am mobility challenged and setting up a quilt on a machine is just not possible when in a wheelchair. Smoothing anything is not possible when you stand and have to hold on for dear life.
Karen, thank you for such an informative tutorial. You certainly have an ability to cover all questions before they are asked! Your generosity in sharing your experience and knowledge with us is very much appreciated. Can’t wait to try this. Glad you are feeling better, we’d be lost without your videos. Thank you again.
Dear Karen, I wish you „alles alles gute“ as we say here. Thank you very much for the video. It is so encouraging for me to take on bigger project. All the best! ☀️ Amelia from Vienna
You are an awesome instructor! LOVE your videos. I began quilting out of the blue about 9 months ago. I am a craftoholic. I started with crocheting, jewelry making, macrame, weaving, sewing masks, paper crafts, then decided I wanted to quilt. I LOVE it. I'm 65 years old and there is absolutely not enough time for my crafts. I have watched many, many quilting videos and you are the most down to earth, people friendly instructors on UA-cam. Thank you for your time and energy teaching us quilting addicts.

Thank you, Karen! Another super useful video and handout. Always happy to do less math! 😂
Happy to help! I am also happy never to do the on point math again.

I love the quilt you used red and white check for background and fill in where you didn’t have enough blocks!
