This was such a great video, Kimberly!!! Especially for those of us with quilting experience to add to our skill set. Now, my brain probably couldn’t initially do with the math that you did but it was easy to follow you. I really hope you will do the second part just like this one because I know you have great tips with sewing strips together!!! You can’t not do it after the thoroughness you did with the first section!!!!❤❤❤
Cutting larger is a great idea for those of us who have difficulty getting our block to come out the right size no matter what we do. I appreciate learning your technique.
Agreed! Mine always seem to be about 1/4-inch smaller than what they are supposed to be and I have no clue why. I probably don't have a true 1/4-inch seam even though I sew with a guided foot.
I started quilting and always changed patterns. I could never leave it alone. It is nice to see I am not the only one. My challenge for next year is to follow 3 patterns exactly as they are (except fabric my stash is so big I have scale down). This year I am organizing my sewing room. Thank you for sharing! I appreciate you!
You can't make everyone happy so i really hope you stay true to yourself and just keep showing how you do things whether its complicated or not. I love how you show different ways to help us make blocks more true to the pattern sizes. I have definitely improved and think i am ready to start Spangled now that you have explained a few things. Love FQS!!
I love the way you avoided wonky 90-degree corners. Your tips are always useful, some times we have to listen or watch again to follow 😅 but once we see it in use, it's great.
Kimberly you are a wealth of knowledge and just the fact you willingly share…we are shouting from the rooftops with yes, yes, yes! Keep bringing it on. I’m learning so much. Thank you so much!❤
I absolutely love seeing you ‘over complicate’ things. When I have trouble getting my blocks to come out using the standard, basic method I need your ‘complications’ to fix my problems! PLEASE keep instructing this way; just like making a pattern our own we can choose to be complicated (or not), but we can only do this if you also give us the complications . ❤️😉☺️
I really enjoy seeing the variation you have done with Lori's fabric. I probably wouldn't have bought Spangled until you showed it with these other fabrics. Now I love it! Thank you for all the detailed instructions.
With all the tips and tricks you show on your video has made me a better quilter. Don't change anything including your enthusiasm, you motivate me with every show!
I think you are just fine with showing us your methods when taking a quilt pattern and showing us your process of calculating yardage and using your techniques for the ultimate perfect quilt. I'd much rather do it well, than just risk screw it up. Your abilities of planning ahead and solving problems, are wonderful. Your methods, in my opinion, are fantastic!
I love the way you cut larger and trim down. Having accurate sized blocks makes the quilt come together so nicely and the finished quilt so beautiful!!! ❤
I absolutely love when you over complicate things. I am the SAME way so it is fun to see what you do & how you make your blocks absolutely perfect. I love the tricks of making certain pieces bigger so you can cut down & make it perfect. You may see it as over complicating but I see it as making it easier actually and I love it. Thank you for all you do & for taking the time to teach all of us!
I love how you show a more complex way of doing things and how to use different products to help get the results you are looking for. I've learned from using your more interesting ways of cutting and sewing that have actually made my quilting journey easier. I'm not saying that I have used them all, but I have used quite a few. Thank you Kimberly for showing us different ways to do things and still get the same or better results. It's very refreshing to see!!
I appreciate the time it takes you and your staff to present such wonderful tutorials. I like the way you show us how to cut the fabric just a little bigger and then trim down to the exact measurements. People can use your method or follow their own way of doing things. Like you say, "You do you."
I like the added steps that you show even though it takes you a little longer. I used to think all that marking and trimming was not worth the extra time. Now I see how quickly you do it and the accuracy is worth the little extra time. Your results are always spot on!
Hey Kimberly, your methods always reveal tips that we would not otherwise know. I have learned so much from you that I have become a confident quilter because of you. Your methods have inspired me to be better and I take your tips to heart. So your complicated methods make you who you are. Please be true to yourself and your audience. You have made this world a better place. I love the Fat Quarter Shop and the team that make it fantastic. God bless y’all.
Kimberly, YOU are amazing! You show us SO many different thing to really give a wide variety of instruction for your viewers. You are so authentic. You show us all of your talents and you own your few struggles. That makes you REAL to us. We all would live to have the beautiful results you get in your quilts. It's up to us whether or not we are willing to put in the effort that you do. Thank you for all that you teach us...about quilting....and LIFE. PS...darling blick. You were right that the fabrics go well in this pattern.
I enjoy seeing you take a pattern and change it up. Not everything has to be for beginner quilters, and it gives us all incentive to shake things up a bit.
So, here's my idea..... Kimberly, your methods for piecing are amazing. It would be wonderful if you published a book about how you revise a pattern using your ideas that result in perfectly pieced blocks. Your tutorials are amazing but how great would it be to have all these methods in book form? You could call it, "Strategic Piecing and Planning for Perfect Quilts". 😊😊😊
I agree completely. I have learned si much from you and yes I love the perfection. A book to reference things would be great. Thank you so much for the wonderful tips. Been quilting for forty years and still learn something new. Sharon
I like seeing the ”perfection” part of making a block on difficult patterns. It’s a really good reminder of how important those measurements are and pinning! I don’t have to see it every week though. I do very much appreciate all your hard work in your videos! Thanks!
I do learn alot from your style of sewing. I haven't adopted every tip, but my sewing has become more accurate. For me just slowing down and valuing accuracy is the key. You've been a role model for valuing accuracy. I used to sew just to "get it done" but now I am enjoying the process more. At any rate, you have a loyal follower as I tune in each week. Enjoy your time off and please know you have made a positive difference in this world. 🌍
I love the different options you always give so that we can choose what works best for us. I personally like the more detailed step-by-step instructions that you typically do, as I am new at quilting. Thank you so much for everything you do.
I absolutely love you sharing and sewing live as I learn so much when you do. I have literally learned to quilt by watching your lives and tutorials! Thank you for all you do!!!
I really enjoy seeing how you adjust the pattern to meet your style. It’s helpful to see how patterns can be adjusted. Not all pattern designers write patterns well and this knowledge can help improve block construction.
I enjoy it when you show us how you do it at home! I’ve learned so much from you and I feel I learn something new each time I each! Thank you Kimberly! ❤
I absolutely love the way you show us how you do it! The fact that you add in little tips and tricks to get your blocks just perfect helps so much! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time teaching us, I always learn something new.
I love watching how you do things! I have learned a lot from you! Greatly appreciate your time that you take to make these videos for us!! Just keep being yourself! That’s why I watch you. ❤️
Kim Diehl is my ultimate favorite designer and I have just about every book she's written, as well as the Simple Whatnots! Lori Holt is my second most favorite! I feel as if I am in quilting Heaven right now!
I love when you walk completely through your method,as this gives me an idea how to approach the pattern, it gives me confidence that I can try the project and I feel supported as I can watch the video several times when teaching myself. Thank you for completed lessons and giving me the confidence needed. Most appreciative.
I am so GLAD you “over complicated” this. I have learned so much from all of your tips. I get so frustrated when I finish a block and the corners are kind of wonky! I’m definitely saving this and I’m going to rewatch and take notes. Also, I don’t buy kits. I keep thinking I can choose my own fabrics 😅, plus I need to use what I have. Thank you!! I learned so much!
I LOVE all the extra Tips, Tricks & Techniques you can offer! I’m just finishing a quilt with 56 Sawtooth Stars. Tried the oversized corners on the last 3 blocks and it’s so much better! Wish I had seen this sooner lol. Thank you Kimberly❣️
I am so excited by videos like this. I can't take it all in at once but I will go back! You also have a lot of videos that are not complicated so I think having video's with tips like this really adds to the channel. I would have no other way to learn these things. SO grateful!
Please keep up the "complicated" way you do things. It's wonderful to watch and learn. That was a gorgeous block and I enjoyed every minute of you creating it.
Love seeing how your add in new ways to make these amazing patterns! . Whether it’s cut large and trim down, or how to “math it out”. Thanks Lori for all the options! Learning so much!
Your tip to get square blocks when you have corner squares at 52.20 is so very very helpful. I often have edges that are not 90 degrees, no matter how carefully I try to piece. Game changing tip. Thank you. ❤
I love how your blocks turn out so perfect and it helps to see your thought process. I love the scrappy look of this and would never have imagined what you did by looking at the pattern.
Love seeing your tips and techniques, especially if it deviates from the pattern. Encourages us to branch out in new directions; like you frequently encourage us to do!
I don't think you are crazy at all, Kimberly. Your blocks turn out beautifully and, thus, so do your quilts. I really appreciate your showing us all your tips and tricks so we can improve our skills, too.
I really love when you provide all the detail that you do. I watch you every week, and still learn new tips each time. What a beautiful pattern - and I’m a big fan of pdf patterns.
I love seeing how you think through a pattern and make it work for you, even if I wouldn’t do it your way. It helps me feel more confident when I change things up to make a pattern work for me.
I appreciate that you show us these tips & techniques so that we may get better results. I've said this before but I also appreciate that you leave your "OOPS moments" in the videos and DEMONSTRATE how we too CAN MAKE our "Oops moments" come out too but also when to "yeah, that's not going to work & it's ok to start over, if necessary!!! Thanks so much!
I think it's great to show how to get the best results. Im a perfectionist as well when it comes to quilting, so I appreciate you taking the time to show us how to get those best results! I love the blocks you made!! I appreciate you showing us ways to make scrappy quilts!!
I love watching you do things the way you would do the blocks at home it shows that you do not have to follow the pattern to the exact way they instruct to achieve the same result!😁
Love your complications!! You’re a perfectionist and take pride in what you do. I have learned so much from you. I often tell myself “ this is how Kimberly does it”. You do you boo!
I prefer seeing your methods and tips even if they are complicated - that’s how I have learned so much from you. Your blocks come out accurate and that’s the goal I have for my blocks too. I can definitely see the difference in my finished blocks since I have been implementing your tips. Thank you so much Kimberly!!
I too am a perfectionist when it comes to piecing together blocks. Love seeing fabric selection options different from those shown on the pattern. Thank you for all you do for us.
I actually like having you explain your methodology on how you break down your cuttings for the block and how you assemble the block and then square it up.😊 Thank you😊
I love when you show us how to strive for perfection…the tricks you have taught me make all my quilts better! Love this block…this is a spectacular quilt!
Kimberly's videos with hints, tips and tricks are really helpful to getting very accurate blocks. A true beginner may be a little overwhelmed, but anyone with any previous experience can learn from the videos.
I loved today’s livestream! I never would have thought of this variation on my own. I like that you do things that are challenging! Keep doing what you’re doing! Thank you for sharing so much with us!❤
Congratulations Quiltlover! You are one of the winners from the July Sew with Me premiere. You will be receiving a Spangled Pattern by Kim Diehl. Please let us know if you prefer paper or PDF for your pattern. Please send your name and address to ashley@fatquartershop.com by August 11th. Thank you!
I enjoy seeing your extra steps / different ways to approach a pattern. It helps me refine my sewing techniques and think about each pattern with fresh eyes.
Kimberly, I not only appreciate your perfectionist ways of making blocks, but it's also "relaxing" for me to watch. I won't mention names (lol), but there's someone else on RUclips who who never squares up blocks or tries to even be remotely perfect, & it totally stresses me out to watch her 😉!!! As always, thank you for your videos 🩷
Sometimes it seems complicated and not worth the extra effort, but then I see the results and it’s perfect!!! I really love to watch and learn new tips and tricks🧡
I love how you show other options besides what is in the pattern but also show what has to be the same as the pattern. For this pattern, I love what you are doing and think it showcases the pattern much better than the original fabrics used in the pattern. Thank you for all that you and your team do.
I’m interested in the “Kimberly Method” which is why your tutorials are always much appreciated and valued. Your years of experience and the quality of your quilting you have so generously share have elevated my quilting skills. Thank you for another excellent tutorial. Also, I also love how you show the different look with Lori’s fabrics. I will be making this quilt.
It’s nice to see and learn new tricks. I’ve learned so much from you Kimberly. I just started quilting/sewing this Jan 2023 and I’ve done a lot of projects and sew along ❤
I love when you do your methods. You find joy in the process and many of us are the same. When we are done, yes we have a project completed - but it's the journey along the way and the different paths that you take that makes it enjoyable to watch and learn from.
I find it interesting when you show us how you do things. I find that I now want my blocks to come out better than I worried about before and seeing how you do it is helping me to work out how I can do it as well. I do believe that watching your sessions has helped to improve my quilting and how my final quilts look more professional now than they did before. Thank you for all you do to help me improve.
Kimberly, I absolutely loved your adjustments in cutting larger and trimming down. I'm a math major and precision is the name of the game. The more precise you are, the better the end result. Your beautiful quilts and blocks speak to my goal of making quilts like yours. Thank you for such a great video. And BTW, I love the Lori Holt scrappy version of Kim Diehl's pattern!
I like your thought process even if it might seem more complicated rather than the easiest. It really helps to understand how to be a better quilt maker. Thank you for being a great teacher!
I love when you "over-complicate" things. We get to see every detail that way. I am learning by what I am seeing as well as what I am hearing. 😁 thank you so much for taking the time to record these videos, they are very informative and helpful!!
Please continue to share what you do rather than just the easy way (with less than perfect results). I thought I knew what I was doing since I've been sewing for 60+ years but I have learned sew much from you by watching every Friday!!
Hi, Dawn from Illinois. Love the great service and E-mail interactions with your fulfillment department when needed. I enjoy watching the RUclips offerings. You asked about our opinion about whether to show your methods for accuracy, or to demonstrate a straight forward process for a pattern. For a seasoned quilter like me I prefer to see simply the process. I understand your need for as perfect an end product as possible. For a newer quilter including your changes might be confusing to them and they might question wastage of fabric. Since you own the business, you can afford to starch, buy extra fabric, have someone professionally quilt your tops. I am retired, I do my own piecing, purchase quilt shop quality fabric only, and I quilt my own quilts on a domestic Piaff machine, and hand finish my bindings. I so appreciate your you tube offerings. My best to you Kimberly.
Hi, as a very beginner I find in the beginning it sounds over complicated but as the blocks go together your complicated explanations begin to make perfect sense, also it allows me to make me see why and how blocks can be made perfectly. I guess that yes I do like all your complications, so don't change.
I love it when you show us how you cut and sew. Sometimes I do the same thing especially when I know the finished size matters. Thanks for showing us Spangled. I would never have considered this quilt in the fabric shown but I love how you saw it in Lori Holt fabrics.
I like seeing how you do it as it gives me a different way of improving my sewing skills! I have learnt so much from this channel since I started quilting in 2020! Thanks for all you do!
I love the over complicated format! Challenges the brain cells and it’s fun to try new things. 😊 and there’s always playback😂 I have always loved Kim Diehl’s books and patterns and am glad to know that she is still being published. Safe travels!
I love seeing what you really do Kimberly. Your tips have really helped me to become a better quilter! I am no longer afraid to try a more challenging pattern with what I have learned from you! All of your quilts are so beautiful!! Thank you so much Kimberly!
I really appreciate how you broke down the pattern. It makes perfect sense and , I feel that it makes the quilt more manageable. I also really like that you use one background in each block.
This was such a great video, Kimberly!!! Especially for those of us with quilting experience to add to our skill set. Now, my brain probably couldn’t initially do with the math that you did but it was easy to follow you. I really hope you will do the second part just like this one because I know you have great tips with sewing strips together!!! You can’t not do it after the thoroughness you did with the first section!!!!❤❤❤
Cutting larger is a great idea for those of us who have difficulty getting our block to come out the right size no matter what we do. I appreciate learning your technique.

You’re a perfectionist and it shows. All quilts are beautiful. You encourage us to be more careful and to not just throw the blocks together. 😊❤️
I love the way you cut larger and trim down. Having accurate sized blocks makes the quilt come together so nicely and the finished quilt so beautiful!!! ❤
I absolutely love when you over complicate things. I am the SAME way so it is fun to see what you do & how you make your blocks absolutely perfect.

I like when you do free patterns so everyone benefits from your tips and tricks! It is sew with me.
I have grown so much by watching Kimberly’s videos. My blocks are getting so much more accurate and I’m learning to like cutting.
I really like when you “overcomplicate” the patterns to get the best results. It helps me to see how you get your blocks to be the perfect size.
I love your videos as you currently film them. There’s no such thing as a perfect quilt. You keep it real and that’s why I watch👍🏻
I absolutely love you sharing and sewing live as I learn so much when you do. I have literally learned to quilt by watching your lives and tutorials! Thank you for all you do!!!
I love watching how you do things to get perfect quilt blocks. I really enjoy all of your tips and tricks. Your quilts always turn out so beautiful.

Your tip to get square blocks when you have corner squares at 52.20 is so very very helpful. I often have edges that are not 90 degrees, no matter how carefully I try to piece. Game changing tip. Thank you. ❤
I love how your blocks turn out so perfect and it helps to see your thought process. I love the scrappy look of this and would never have imagined what you did by looking at the pattern.
You are an inspiration! Yes I love your sewing tips..continue to show us your techniques. Your piecing is perfection.❤

Kim by-although you do “take it a step further” I love it! Always ready to learn a better way to accomplish something! Thank You!!!
I don't think you are crazy. I do think you are awesome teacher. Thank you for taking the time to explain everything you do and why you do it.
I love watching you do things the way you would do the blocks at home it shows that you do not have to follow the pattern to the exact way they instruct to achieve the same result!😁
Love your complications!! You’re a perfectionist and take pride in what you do. I have learned so much from you. I often tell myself “ this is how Kimberly does it”. You do you boo!

I love when you show us how to strive for perfection…the tricks you have taught me make all my quilts better! Love this block…this is a spectacular quilt!
As an intermediate level quilter, I like seeing you do advanced techniques. Sometimes it goes over my head but I usually learn something new I can try
It's always good to be exposed to different methods then each person can choose what works best for herself/himself. 👍 Thank you!
I like the complicated videos because I always learn some tricks from you. Love your organization of all your work.
Kimberly's videos with hints, tips and tricks are really helpful to getting very accurate blocks. A true beginner may be a little overwhelmed, but anyone with any previous experience can learn from the videos.
I loved today’s livestream! I never would have thought of this variation on my own. I like that you do things that are challenging! Keep doing what you’re doing! Thank you for sharing so much with us!❤
Kimberly, I love see the way you make your blocks! Keep showing us your way..
Congratulations Quiltlover! You are one of the winners from the July Sew with Me premiere. You will be receiving a Spangled Pattern by Kim Diehl. Please let us know if you prefer paper or PDF for your pattern. Please send your name and address to ashley@fatquartershop.com by August 11th. Thank you!
I enjoy seeing your extra steps / different ways to approach a pattern. It helps me refine my sewing techniques and think about each pattern with fresh eyes.
Appreciate all your tips and thoroughness Kimberly! This pattern looks like someone would want that paper pattern. Absolutely gorgeous pattern!
Kimberly, I not only appreciate your perfectionist ways of making blocks, but it's also "relaxing" for me to watch. I won't mention names (lol), but there's someone else on RUclips who who never squares up blocks or tries to even be remotely perfect, & it totally stresses me out to watch her 😉!!! As always, thank you for your videos 🩷
This is so beautiful!!! Love the idea of making larger strips to trim down. This is going to be an amazing quilt
I agree with others. You can’t please everyone and I enjoy seeing how you do it. I’ve learned so much from you. And your quilts are always beautiful!
Sometimes it seems complicated and not worth the extra effort, but then I see the results and it’s perfect!!! I really love to watch and learn new tips and tricks🧡
I love that you take the time to teach us how to improve our blocks! Always want to do better. Thank you.
I love how you show other options besides what is in the pattern but also show what has to be the same as the pattern. For this pattern, I love what you are doing and think it showcases the pattern much better than the original fabrics used in the pattern. Thank you for all that you and your team do.
I love how you show the extended version 😍 I always pick up a new tip
I’m interested in the “Kimberly Method” which is why your tutorials are always much appreciated and valued. Your years of experience and the quality of your quilting you have so generously share have elevated my quilting skills. Thank you for another excellent tutorial. Also, I also love how you show the different look with Lori’s fabrics. I will be making this quilt.
I love Kim Diehl’s patterns and fabric. Thank you for sharing your way of making her quilt blocks.
I appreciate your "over complication." I can read and follow a pattern. It's the tips for improving on the pattern that I value about your videos.
It’s nice to see and learn new tricks. I’ve learned so much from you Kimberly. I just started quilting/sewing this Jan 2023 and I’ve done a lot of projects and sew along ❤
I love when you do your methods. You find joy in the process and many of us are the same. When we are done, yes we have a project completed - but it's the journey along the way and the different paths that you take that makes it enjoyable to watch and learn from.
prefection
I really appreciate seeing the method you personally use to assemble your quilts. Your results are stunning and I have learned so much.
I like watching what you actually do. Because all your quilts are just so beautifully made. I always wonder how did Kim do that!❤😂
I find it interesting when you show us how you do things. I find that I now want my blocks to come out better than I worried about before and seeing how you do it is helping me to work out how I can do it as well. I do believe that watching your sessions has helped to improve my quilting and how my final quilts look more professional now than they did before. Thank you for all you do to help me improve.
Kimberly, I absolutely loved your adjustments in cutting larger and trimming down. I'm a math major and precision is the name of the game. The more precise you are, the better the end result. Your beautiful quilts and blocks speak to my goal of making quilts like yours. Thank you for such a great video. And BTW, I love the Lori Holt scrappy version of Kim Diehl's pattern!
I like your thought process even if it might seem more complicated rather than the easiest. It really helps to understand how to be a better quilt maker. Thank you for being a great teacher!
I love when you "over-complicate" things. We get to see every detail that way. I am learning by what I am seeing as well as what I am hearing. 😁 thank you so much for taking the time to record these videos, they are very informative and helpful!!
Please continue to share what you do rather than just the easy way (with less than perfect results). I thought I knew what I was doing since I've been sewing for 60+ years but I have learned sew much from you by watching every Friday!!
Hi, Dawn from Illinois. Love the great service and E-mail interactions with your fulfillment department when needed. I enjoy watching the RUclips offerings.
You asked about our opinion about whether to show your methods for accuracy, or to demonstrate a straight forward process for a pattern. For a seasoned quilter like me I prefer to see simply the process. I understand your need for as perfect an end product as possible. For a newer quilter including your changes might be confusing to them and they might question wastage of fabric.
Since you own the business, you can afford to starch, buy extra fabric, have someone professionally quilt your tops. I am retired, I do my own piecing, purchase quilt shop quality fabric only, and I quilt my own quilts on a domestic Piaff machine, and hand finish my bindings.
I so appreciate your you tube offerings. My best to you Kimberly.
I love seeing your additional steps! I learn so much and have seen improvements in my quilts since taking some of your tips!
I love when you show us how you do everything, especially the cutting and additions for cutting larger than called for. Thank you for doing that.
Hi, as a very beginner I find in the beginning it sounds over complicated but as the blocks go together your complicated explanations begin to make perfect sense, also it allows me to make me see why and how blocks can be made perfectly. I guess that yes I do like all your complications, so don't change.
I love it when you show us how you cut and sew. Sometimes I do the same thing especially when I know the finished size matters. Thanks for showing us Spangled. I would never have considered this quilt in the fabric shown but I love how you saw it in Lori Holt fabrics.
I like seeing how you do it as it gives me a different way of improving my sewing skills! I have learnt so much from this channel since I started quilting in 2020! Thanks for all you do!
I love the over complicated format! Challenges the brain cells and it’s fun to try new things. 😊 and there’s always playback😂
I have always loved Kim Diehl’s books and patterns and am glad to know that she is still being published. Safe travels!
I m someone who likes order and precision, so I love the way you do the quilts. Makes me a better quilter. Thanks
I love seeing what you really do Kimberly. Your tips have really helped me to become a better quilter! I am no longer afraid to try a more challenging pattern with what I have learned from you! All of your quilts are so beautiful!! Thank you so much Kimberly!
I really appreciate how you broke down the pattern. It makes perfect sense and , I feel that it makes the quilt more manageable. I also really like that you use one background in each block.
