Thanks for all of the useful and practical tips! Just getting into sewing and using your advice to plan ahead and problem solve before problems arise. ❤

Just knowing that someone else has cut out the paper shapes is a HUGE load off.

I'm in the home run on my eighth EPP hexagon quilt. Two things I've learned over the years: use wax or thread conditioner on your piecing and quilting threads, and take the papers out as you go, or the quilt you're working on will be stiff and unwieldy. I too buy my papers, but I reuse them until they are too soft and the corners are too rounded to be useful. I also hand quilt my hexie quilts, on a table with the quilt rolled up to provide tension. Works for me! I enjoy your channel a lot, I love your use of colour.

Congratulations 🎉I am from India and I watch you And rarely quilt

Spectacular❣️ 😍

Is it OK to have 3 magnets in close proximity to your i-pad?

BIG congrats!!! Go girl!

Great reminders! Thank you. ❤

Wow, that is a beautiful quilt full of amazing colors! Love it!❤ Great idea how you did the back too! Very cool!

I love this video. I just started the SAME quilt pattern. I have a few sections done but your advice is very helpful as always.

Your teaching about value changed my world! ❤❤❤. Thanks for sharing all your lessons! Wonderful. And what a joy to be done with the hard part. I love #10 best of all.

"Pre-cutting is really important" THANK YOU for the permission for this!!! And thank you (and other long-time quilters posting here) for talking about how long this project took!! Both of these concepts are so nice to hear for those of us who are not speedy quilters.

I have a couch toss pillow that fits perfectly under my arm while I sew or crochet. I just adjust it to what I’m doing.

Hello! I have been quilting now for many years, but ALWAYS find something yet to be learned. Thanks, Karen, for your wonderful tutorials.

You are amazing! I can’t wait to try your pouches!

Wise wise words. Learned heaps thank you

Karen, the quilt is beautiful. I started Lucy Boston in June 2022. It's a slow process. I'm almost half way. Thank you for all of your tips. I definitely need to lay my blocks out and take a picture to look at the color placement. Thanks for the reminder. I can't wait to see your quilt quilted. How are you finishing off the edges since they are turned under from the shapes of the papers? Thanks for always being eager to share the good and the mistake of what you are learning so that we can learn as well. Enjoy your trip.

Wow, that is one humongous quilt! And it’s turning out beautifully! Some projects just take time. I look forward to seeing how you quilt it. No rush. Have a wonderful cruise! 🌷

Wow! Excellent work!

Acceptance!!?? Its gorgeous from what I can see!! Why as quilters are we so hard on ourselves!! Karen I wish you could see it through my eyes!! The things you make are amazing! ❤

Thank you Karen, Your labour of love for your grandchildren is so inspiring…looking forward to the reveal. Happy holidays. 😊

I was so thrilled to see this video!! I, too, have started this project! Haven't finished the first rosette, but I will be doing things very differently for the rest of them! Had no idea about value (first rosette will have to stay as is though!). Thanks for the inspiration, information, and motivation! Love all of your videos!

Great ideas! What brand of foldable table do you use? I live in a tiny cottage & think your table would greatly increase my quilting production.

Wow, what fantastic information you have provided! These charts are wonderful. THANK YOU!!! Happy Quilting to you.

You are definitely the Queen Bee! Thank you for another honest reveal of your feelings and experiences in the world of quilting. A world I only began experiencing two years ago with your help. Thank you for sharing. Stay Calm and Keep on Needling!

Hi, really enjoyed this tutorial. Could you please supply the link for sewing the strips into a quilt?

Just a thought Karen, on a crochet channel I saw a crescent shaped pillow like the ones for nursing, being used like your pillow only it supports both arms. Just a thought for your next project.

Hooray to you, Karen, for completing your quilt. Just watching the video made me dizzy. I think I’ll pass on making my own, but I will sit back and appreciate yours. Have a great cruise. You earned it.

❤❤ Keep plugging along you're almost at the finish line. 😊😊😊 It's looking awesome, and your future grandchildren will love it. 😊😊 Enjoy the cruise.

Really looking forward to seeing the finished quilt. I think a lot of time and fun could be spent looking at all the different little pieces. Enjoy your holiday. Best wishes from Australia😊

I can't believe that you, like me, have the same two obsessions! I have been doing both for around 30 years and realise that if I indulged both as much as I wanted to I would not eat or sleep. Coming to the end of genealogy and ready to start writing up the family lines. But plenty more quilts to be made!

Hello from Plymouth in England.I have a favourite saying about mistakes..... ALL MISTAKES ARE MADE WITH LOVE !! Love your videos and am learning a lot from them xx

Great challenge well done. Persistent is verchal

Great job on a major project! 😊👍☕️🍩

Fuimos creados a semejanza de Dios... me imagino q el gen que corre por tus venas fue el mismo que usó Dios Padre cuando se entretenía en uno de esos 7 días de la creación... cómo has de disfrutar los atardeceres, los colores entre las hojas de los árboles, la luz de los ojos de un alma , el brillo de una sonrisa... y lo coses todo en un abrazo de manta... cada color un sentimiento, una emoción, el santo deseo del descanso nocturno para la persona amada... En fin. Amo y disfruto mucho tu pasión en todas sus facetas, en cada etapa. Dios siga bendiciendo tus sueños, tu familia, tus proyectos, tu imaginación. Y que el don de consejo siga brillando y tocando a muchos, como a mi, asiéndonos hacia la cordura con "tips, tricks, and strategies" que a veces rebasan las paredes de mi cuarto de costura. Te mando un abrazo, y una oración por tu fe, por tu esperanza, por tu familia, por tu creatividad, por tu salud y la de los tuyos. Gracias por compartir lo que eres y haces. Hasta pronto.

It's stunning! Bon voyage!

Yes! Bring back real clothes! Made to measure is comfortable because it moves with you. We hardly know what fit is anymore. Love embroidery. Been interested lately in ecclesiastical embroidery for liturgical linens.

Splicing: I actually just did that an hour ago! The last border went on and the border prior, for some reason, was not straight across and I was m issing a 1/4 inch!..so I went into the garbage, found a small length, sewed it on... resquared that border...and now the Spliced piece will be mostly hidden with the binding!

I just love that you organize solids differently from prints because that’s just how your brain works: self-awareness/self-care goals!

❤ Hello Karen! ❤ Valerie here from @CashBudgetRetiree. Enjoying your video, I think for the 2nd time.

I have looked EPP videos for two years before I started sewing... I bought some fabrics, paper pieces, templates, other supplies, books and a couple of patterns two years ago - and looked at RUclips, Google and Facebook. Then 11 months ago I had a Stroke... and looked at more videos! When I saw some Lucy Boston quilts I was hooked! Of course all my stuff is in my house and I am at my brother's house... I did had have fabrics, needles and threaf, but I went to JoAnns and got some Hexagons. So last week I started to sew! I have basted lots of hexies and I have sewed 6 flower fabrics to a center hexie - now I am trying to decide what I am going to make - make a placemat?

Wow! Stunning!

I have to disagree as to your quilt... I find it borders on somewhat garish. That is not wrong or off putting, it's just my take on the finished quilt. I agree with your total post, this is just what my mind sees. Since I create my own "kits" & how my brain works, tops I make are very easy to start. Colour is my least block, picking a pattern can take me forever. Also no one in my family or friends wants a quilt or my hooked rugs, so they will go to Goidwill or whatever. I'm glad you family enjoys your work.

A lot of the problems you described with this quilt are due to lack of experience with EPP. I know this because I’ve made exactly the same mistakes and had exactly the same issues in my EPP journey. It’s amazing the things we learn as we progress along the various quilting roads. Someone may be an expert in one field and although lots of the knowledge and skills are transferable not all are.

Congratulations on finishing your quilt

Muito lindo parabéns

If only I could do this by hand

Thank you. I don't have register tape, I used store receipt to make quilt.
