    I am always amazed how you take random, sometimes ugly things, and make original, fabulous quilts. So creative! I love watching you in action.

      I agree.
      Also, Bonnie Hunter would say if a scrap of fabric was still ugly, you haven't cut it small enough...lol

    WOW1 I'm just blown away...so fabulous. I've NEVER seen a quilt anything like this. As I watched you put all these pieces together I kept thinking that's weird, that's weird, that's weird - and finally its all together and just awesome.

    The Return of the Sockeye is a Ray Troll shirt. He’s an Alaskan artist with a delightful sensibility, and I think he would love how you’re using the shirt ❤

    I love what you do with quilts. They are so practical yet creatively chaotic. I've put you in a box in my head with Susan Shie, Dali, Gaudi, and Warhol, but you keep escaping! You're more random. Love, love, love your quilts, your method, and your thought process. Thank you for sharing. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

    When on a tight budget, my friend had to settle on an UGLY full-size sheet set for several years. After venting about how much she hated the pattern (1980s dusty pink with sunset peach florals ) I offered to swap my extra guest room sheet set (pale blue & white stripe). Years later I showed her the quilt I made using her sheets & pillow cases as 8 inch foundation squares. Every square was covered in strips of scrap fabric in a Courthouse Steps block pattern.
    We both shared a good laugh 😊

  • @connieclark3562
    @connieclark3562 5 днів тому +1

    How in the world do the patches make it perfect and add the last bit of chaos needed to bring it in to focus? And of course you will use a variety of quilting methods. AND BUTTONS. Looking into the chaos and the chaos looks back! I don’t know what that means but it’s TRUTH. Because it’s ALIVE!!!

    Congratulations. You have made another wonderful, original, quilted piece of ART. Your quilt is beautiful. It is also very interesting. I'm also a cancer, or moon child, born on July 17. I am hoping to get my Sew-Jo back, after I get over Lyme disease. The worst part of this has been the chills (during a heat wave).

  • @gamer4347
    @gamer4347 6 місяців тому +3

    Dave! Another fabulous quilt. I love the idea of using your orphan blocks with 9 patches! I also love that you will add other fun elements like tee shirts and patches. I teach sewing and now share a list of my favorite youtubers, you are on it and I tell my students that you can quilt any way you want to! You can make it up as you go along, do your own thing and forget what people say is the "right way." You prove that in every video and make amazing art. I look forward to the next one. Thanks for being awesome!

THANK YOU for your energy and creative mind with no limits.

    Return of the sockeye is a play in words obviously. If you look, you'll see sockeye salmon in the graphic. Salmon return to their spawning grounds when they are mature. They spawn and then expire. So that graphic is actually quite humorous.

    Oh Dave, I had to put this video on a loop! The music was great but your technique is awesome also!
    I’m still wiping the tears from my eyes! Not sure if I’m laughing or crying at the creativity of this. I’m still stuck on the idea of the dragon cooking the 🍕 pizza! And then when I thought you were finished you turned around and added cute little items to adorn the nine patches! I struggle with appliqué and there you were turning circles one handed! Oh my can’t get enough of your quilting, especially when you finally mixed up the actual quilting of this magnificent quilt! You go you clever fellow ❤❤❤❤❤

  • @kateh4030
    @kateh4030 6 місяців тому +2

    I just love your eye! When you were making the big nine patch blocks I thought it was weird to put the same small blocks crashing into each other. But your eye was right - as usual. Those crashing blocks look fantastic!!! I think this would be a quilt a kid would be in love with, so much to look at, I can imagine having a favourite secret part, one of the smaller patches for instance

  • @AndyMartinMakes
    @AndyMartinMakes 6 місяців тому +3

    I love scrap quilts because they bring together all sorts of different fabrics in a stunning mishmash. The imperfections in the quilt tell a story of creativity and resourcefulness while also capturing memories of different projects. Plus, you get to use up all those leftover scraps!

    I so admire you for being so fearless with just cutting things up and going for it. Meanwhile, I'm over here having anxiety about whether a block wasn't placed in the most visually optimal spot. You're inspiring me to fly loose a bit.
    Also, using patches on a quilt is such a great idea!

    AGAIN !!! I’m in love with this quilt. Your artistic eye is amazing. I winced when your 9-patch 9-patches contained matching blocks. But OMG it’s perfect ! I wish I had your vision and even more your ambition. But by the Christmas I hope to take my scraps and make them into quilts for all my children. Especially my old jeans. I cut up 14 pairs of jeans into 400 circles. I hope to make a rugged camping quilt(s) from them. Wish me luck !

    Love it! I recently made a 10x10 plus sign quilt out of 2” scraps with a checkerboard background-85 pieces per block and I was absolutely amazed at the outcome-might be my favorite quilt. I enjoy the collage effect of your designs. We definitely gotta keep on top of those scraps or they multiply like gremlins!

    Another incredible quilt. I hated nine patches - boring, plain old nine patches anyone could make, no challenge there, but now I want to make a nine patch qjuilt. Once really irritated me if people making scrap quilts put the same fabrics or blocks together and when I saw you putting the horrible nine patches in clumps of identical blocks I was very uncomfortable .... until I noticed that those identical blocks created another shape, another movement across the quilt - it added interest, WOW I am off to make a nine patch block quilt.. thanks Dave
