What a fun video! I love that your box had its own seat!!! So glad you had a great time! Love watching your process/ plans for finishing! I’m no quilter, but I like the idea of something on the boarders and simple on the squares! I’m sure it will be beautiful whatever you decide!! ❤️

Christine, It is always so much fun to watch your videos. So many projects, so little time. It was great to hear about the Jacob Palooza retreat. How lucky that you were able to attend. I also loved seeing your quilt projects. For the postage stamp quilt, I think you could do some very curvy quilting in the borders (feathers?) and continuous curve on the blocks. Can't wait to see what you decide. Take care. Happy stitching. Best, K

I will have to be very careful when I watch your videos! I could have a "Happy Birthday to Me!", with every video you produce. This is the first place I have lived that I do not have a group of close friends to view and share our love of thread and needle. I do so miss that. I have replaced it with the stitchers on You Tube and watching each person produce their own projects is so wonderful to watch and see. I sure am glad you took your beautiful box to show. It did deserve a chair of its own. See you next video!

Quilt it with hanging diamonds. It would make it look old. Not sure if that can be done on a long arm but certainly by hand. I can come up with hand quilting designs to use but can’t with for machine quilting. You did inspire me to take my 100x 100 inch quilt to the local longarm quilter. Your blue and white quilt inspired me. You said you used a clamshell design but I saw it as a Baptist fan. Of course the longarm program didn’t look like a traditional hand quilted Baptist fan but the guy agreed to try it and even after much pleading decided to go ahead and reduce it to 8 inches and make it closer together. Both of us liked the finished result. Thanks for that inspiration. Not just like handquilting but it does have a good enough feel at a distance and I’m pleased that it’s done and on my bed.

Fantastic video as always! Really love the Norma Whaley quilt and the new Jacob stitch you are working on. Looking forward to seeing your progress on both. I would do a simple cross hatch on the entire postage stamp quilt if the sashing dimensions allow for it to be even. Personally, I wouldn’t do it by hand (saving my hands for other stitching), but if you do; I would consider doing big stitch quilting so it really shows up on the boarder. It will be beautiful either way.

Another great video! Thanks for sharing and asking for feedback. With your postage stamp quilt I see a combination of hand and machine quilting. Definitely hand quilt the sashing and borders, but for all of the patchwork seams I'd want to machine quilt. But because of the antique looks of the blocks and the utilitarian use of that style, I think it would be fun to tie the blocks with wool yarn ties every few inches, but still hand quilt sashing and borders. Clear as mud?!😁

I know I’m pretty scattered when it comes to all I do so that’s a 2024 thing I’m going to seriously look into. I get sidetracked into something so easily. Your finished quilt amazing. I know you’ll figure out how to quilt it. I’m still just a beginner but know taking it to be quilted would be hard for me. Cost as well and who to have do it. I’ll just have to figure it out when I get to that point. Nothing larger then a queen size I’m thinking.

Lovely to see you tonight Christine. Really enjoyed your video, as usual. So glad you got to meet Jacob & have such a great time at the retreat. Like you, I absolutely love his work & have an ever growing collection of patterns waiting to be done. I'm still recovering from Stitch in London, my first ever retreat. Jacob designed the exclusive for the retreat & we had the opportunity to purchase Roxy Floss Co threads. Talk about a marriage made in heaven. I made sure to bring a fine collection back to Ireland with me. Now I just need to find more hours in the day to stitch all the things. Hope you enjoy your quilting retreat. Looking forward to hearing all about it. Take care. Best wishes from 🇮🇪

I would be machine quilting it (feathers on the borders and sashing and something simple on the blocks?) considering its size. If hand quilt - big stitches, but it’ll make it look more primitive which is great as well 😁 I am not helping here as I see 😂 P. S. Thank you for mentioning me ❤️❤️❤️

Loved seeing all of your projects! If you haven't made up your mind about how to quilt your quilt....if it was mine, I'd do a small circular motif (like feathers) where the gray borders cross in between the scrappy squares. Then feathers or paisleys on the straight gray borders all around. I would do diagonal straight line stitch on the scrappy squares. Kind of contrast the quilted curvy feathers or paisleys with the geometric of the scrappy squares? I'm sure whatever you choose will be great!
