  • You can follow along with any panel you have, even though I use an "Earl and Opal" fabric panel, Lost of tips and tricks along the way. Use this technique for any panel.
    Timeless treasure fabric www.ttfabrics.c...
    Pickles Comic www.picklescomi...
    This is what I used.
    ..1 panel www.ttfabrics.c...
    ..1 yd black and white swirls www.ttfabrics.c...
    ..2 yds of the striped bais www.ttfabrics.c...
    ..enough comic strips to cut up www.ttfabrics.c...
    ..4 yards for back www.ttfabrics.c...
    ..all strips are cut at 2 3/4 which match the cartoon strips

    Use of the diagonal stripes in this quilt is visually stunning. It's a charming quilt. Thank you for the tutorial 😊 👍 💕

    Love how you made this look so easy. God knows that with being a fairly new quilter, I make many mistakes. To bad it's half way thru the project, that I discover it, lol I did take a paper piecing course, an the item was a cup cozy for her desk at work. I just randomly added pieces till it took up the side I wanted. When I got the paper removed, the pieces had all come together to form a letter K. It's funny because my daughter's name is Kaylinda. What a coincidence. Im learning to not be so critical of the projects I've done so far. A couple purses, an hot pad holders. An a few coasters. I've started about 9 quilts , I just come up with an idea an start a new one, or learn a new technique an just have to do it tonite. Lol. I hope one day I'll finish a whole quilt, happy Quilting.

    This is genius! HOW DID YOU LEARN ALL THE THINGS YOU KNOW??
    ...and it just so happens I have some fabric panels (in the lightest whisper soft pastels) from when I went on a shop hop to several quilt shops one year. Now I can confidently make it because you've taught me the tips! That bias-looking fabric is perfection for your cartoon quilt!
    I noticed a comment below mine about sewing a Halloween quilt this way!! I LOVE Halloween and now I'll be able to have a H-tradition quilt to hang every October, a really fun scary one that I want to design myself (I mean, paint my own pictures on fabric).
    Aaahhhh, sigh! Thank you! What became of this quilt you made in '14? You are so prolific!

    Question: I never heard of Earl and Opal. I never saw it as a cartoon on TV? Maybe it is a comic strip rather than a cartoon? Can anyone clear this up for me?

  • @DH-qz2so

    What do you think about the idea of (for instance, using the cartoon strip panel) making a whole cloth quilt, layering the cartoon panel with batting and backing,...then using 1" wide strips of a woven fabric (something that will fray/rag nicely), ...then laying the woven strips inbetween all the cartoon panels, and 'stitching in the ditch', so you sew everything together by sewing the strips down the middle and across each panel...then clipping, then washing...and then it looks like you pieced all the little panels together, and gives it a rag look? Does this make any sense?

    • @SewVeryEasy
      @SewVeryEasy  7 років тому

      Yes it does and it sounds really cute! You know you can buy a roll of fabric just for that same thing! here check out this video ua-cam.com/video/ElIbSjMlVLY/v-deo.html
