The afterquilt could have been a quilt top all on its own. It's as though you made 2 quilts (or maybe a reversible). Such a lot of work, but so worth it for the beautiful result. You go, girl! Hugs from Derbyshire, UK
Your after quilt videos are my favorite. I like for my backs to be almost as interesting as the front. I’ve even put two vintage unfinished tops together to make a reversible quilt.
Excellent job! That afterquilt was amazing - We received some quilts here in Poland for Ukraine - and I saw at least one that had one of your afterquilts on the back side - I'm sure that person was inspired by your ideas.
This process video and your most recent scraps video have been SO HELPFUL!!! even just the tip you give here about looking at smaller scraps first when scheming an afterquilt has already made a difference in my weekend quilt planning. Thank you Karen, you're a gem! 💎
Another simply awesome video, Karen - thank you so much! Your ability to put yourself and your instructions across to all of us is so easy and seamless. I just feel as if I'm watching my lifelong friend Karen showing me what her latest project has been and how she's gone about completing it and as we "talk" she's giving me encouragement and ideas about how I can complete my creation. I just guess I'm trying to say that your videos and chats are so refreshing and fun and I've learned so much along the way. I particularly enjoyed participating in the sewing room cleanout challenge at the beginning of the year and now you've given so many cool ideas for all of the scraps acquired during a project. I hope it's okay with you that I consider you a friend of mine!
One of the great things about it is that, if you don't finish all 100 blocks the first year, you can jump back in the next year. They do, however, change the pattern after several years. I think the present one has run for three years and there will be a new pattern for 2023.
I have made this comment before..you are very good at this..I love your tone, it makes me want to listen and watch! Our quilting style is very different but I don’t care..always interesting and helpful. Safe travel and have fun🙂(KH)
Wow, amazing Karen. I've just finished my 100 blocks and they have been sitting on my table in a pile for two weeks. Watching you make your after quilt has inspired my to take the next step. Thankyou. I really love your colours. I look forward to your videos and your really keep my momentum going. Also love all of your interviews.
I absolutely love this video, thank you for the encouragement to try different things! I recently did my first back with a strip down the middle but I love, love love this!
Wonderful. That is a beautiful finished quilt (in my old college colors). The after quilt is beautiful also. I need to work on my sewing room. It is a mess again. Your sewing area always looks perfect.
Karen I love your 100 block/ 100 day quilt front and back, your choice of fabrics & colours great. Piecing the back I think is a great idea, I’m a fairly new quilter and I have backed pieced at least four of my nine quilts. My reasons are for being frugal and using up those fabric collections. I’m currently just started my first ever 100 block/100 day quilt. Considering I just started this past Sunday I have 20 done, 80 to go. Using my leftovers of Tilda and a few different odd and ends. Love your quilt and thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
It is so perfect! Actually I can't anymore imagine a quilt with out an after quilt... I'm still working on my third quilting jury.. first was a pillowcase second a small quilt for my nephew.. this third is for me... but when i finished a front (it is your first Stash Buster)... i didn't want a simple back... i ended make a kind of a Jelly Roll Race.. that i made in blocks... turning them around... now it is to small so i will need some sashing... :D it is a live mess now... but i enjoy the process... once it may become a quilt hahaha... Anyway, thank you for the motivation and inspiration to start on this jury! :*
Great video; thanks for showing your process. I've made after-quilts with scraps and I do like it. I just want to say that if you were not long-arming, and were quilting on a domestic, I have found that it can be more difficult to go through the extra thickness when FMQ.
Hi Karen! Because of your wonderful suggestions of doing an after quilt back, I have created my last few quilt backs with my leftover fabrics! It has been so much fun seeing family and friends reactions to the BACKS of my quilts! 💟Thank you for so many wonderful tips, tricks and strategies to create the quilts I LOVE making for others! Take care! Catherine
The first time I made a back using up pieces left over from the front, my friends sort of sniffed like I was a cheapskate. I’m so happy to see you legitimizing this creative but thrifty habit.
I'm typically a silent subscriber but I absolutely loved this video. I always have such a hard time with backing/after quilts, but this video gave me so many ideas and inspiration. Karen, I enjoyed watching your process and I can't decide which side of the quilt I like better. They are both beautiful ❤Thank you for sharing your process, I learned so much.
Months later I am getting to enjoy this finish. As jzama said, there are so many ideas percolating, and it's all due to this informative, creative and visual journey. It's like a mini workshop!
It was just a few years ago that the local long armers near me all said we could not have after quilts because they were too difficult to needle thru that many layers, so disappointing. So I gave up. Then thanks to you I decided to ask my new long arm quilter if she could do it. She said "of course, this is not hand quilting, these machines are made for that". I was so excited. If not for you Karen I would never have asked. A delayed joy of after quilts has been awakened. Thank you.
Your quilt is just as beautiful on the back as it is on the front! I started the 100 blocks in a 100 days, but I had to put it on hold. I will take it back up soon. I love your channel!
Another great after quilt video! I love the colors chosen for this quilt and I love how you incorporated the adding machine tape blocks into my he quilt back. I am definitely going to use that in an upcoming afterquilt. Speaking of which, I can’t wait to see the adding machine tape quilt video, hint, hint:)
Love, love, love your chosen colours, what a beautiful quilt Karen, you are an inspiring quilter who shares so much knowledge. What is not to love about this beauty
Phew! I'm exhausted just watching you. JOB WELL DONE!!!!! You should be so proud. I agree with many other comments that this is a true masterpiece. Thanks for sharing your journey - it is truly inspiring. :)
Gorgeous, fabulous, a true beauty. So much fantastic dedication to finish this piece of art. I love it and I am determined to create a quilt - albeit not on your level of expertise- however this video is so inspiring. 🤗🤗🤗
I love your after quilt ideas I love your video and I love how you finished your hundred days hundred blocks challenge I'm still working on mine but I did a quilt recently where I didn't have enough backing for it I actually took the yardage and cut it into four pieces and put one in each corner and worked down the center and across the center so even if it was a little lopsided when I finished with it it wouldn't be too goofy looking LOL it turned out really good I really appreciate you doing these videos about after quilts it has made a big difference in getting my quilts finished
It's BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE how used much of your fabrics, GREAT idea! bc you don't need to think about a new matching color. And really why not be fugal. THANK you for your talents. ENJOY your trip. Save travels.
I do this process too, but not with the crumbs because I don’t save that small. So many times my husband says the backs are better than the fronts. Many times our unrestricted processing is more creative. Well presented on the longarm needs. Fantastic!
Such a beautiful quilt. Love your After Quilt almost as much as the main quilt... but OH so much work. I am exhausted just thinking about making an After Quilt - by the time the top is finished I'm ready to move on. Great job!
Your quilt is gorgeous! I really love that color combination as well. Makes me want to dig through my own stash of Tula Pink fabric and scraps :). Thank you for sharing your process for the after quilt.
I recently made a much less complicated backing and am delighted with how, by just adding a few leftover blocks to the back, it, too, became a work of art. Great video.
I love your after quilts. I am working on a quilt that I’m making up as I go along and that means I have more scraps than usual. I’m definitely making an afterquilt out of them this time.
I am always inspired by your work. Your quilt is beautiful and all your tips and tricks are very helpful. You look a bit tired. I hope you get a nice rest while you are on vacation.
Love the color combinations and your after quilt!! It turned out beautifully. I need to try this because my Mt Scrapmore is getting huge. I have cut my scraps into 2 1/2, 5 and 10” pieces. Thank you for sharing your tips with us. I have been quilting for 33 years but still learn so much from you. 👍🥰
question about pressing - I get nervous about using steam because it always shrinks my blocks slightly and then my measurements are off. But the blocks get so flat! At what point in the afterquilt process do you use steam, if at all?
Wow, Karen, It’s Turned Out Beautifully. I Love Your Quilt, all the Memories wrapped up together. ❤️❤️❤️ Have a wonderful weekend, 🥰 Chris aka Chris-Raleigh NC
Thank you so much for sharing your process of the after quilt backing! So many steps you shared about placement of the blocks and pieces in relation to what might be trimmed off was so helpful! This was so inspirational! Your quilt is gorgeous!
Brava! 😲If that was you not feeling terribly creative, Karen, then we should feed, caffeinate, and rest you up, then point you in the direction of solving world peace (piece?)!!
It turns out so wonderful. Congratulations to this journey with the perfect finish. You can be very proud 👏👏👏 Thank you for sharing your work and ideas!
Awesome!! I am working on hand quilting my first one! I'm afraid its going to have to go on the back burner since it's time for Halloween sewing. Enjoy your finished quilt for me! ;)
Congratulations Sarah!! I only have two quilts completely finished (& gifted) myself, but I can guarantee you will enjoy *such* a sense of accomplishment when you are finished that binding. Make sure you take lots of pictures- far away & close up. Well done!!
Absolutely beautiful! I am partial to scrap quilts because I want to keep my stash under control. After quilts are the answer and couldn't be more stunning. How fun for the person using it to be able to flip it and have a whole other visual experience!
I also love that owl fabric by Tula Pink. So much so that I bought several yards of it, thought about it for a few days, and went back and bought a few more. At present, I'm still at the gloat-over-it stage. 😄
Amazing Karen, a masterpiece on both sides, and to finish it with so much else going on, inspirational. Thank you for sharing this idea, I try to incorporate scraps into the backs of my quilts too. Vx
I hope you had a lovely visit to our country. What a beautifull quilt you made! I love the colors. I really like this kind of video's to use your crumbs and scraps. Love from Holland🇳🇱
Karen, your quilt is absolutely stunning! I love these colours, and the judicious use of solids in strategic locations really show off all of your piecing work. I’ve not been a fan of ‘sampler’ quilts before, but your modern layout and fabulous afterquilt has me doing a 180 on that opinion. Congratulations on your finish!
Love your after quilt! It turned out great, my (young adult) kids love the pieces backing idea! I've not been at this that long, but most of my quilts have "after quilts!" Thank you for your inspiration! Enjoy your trip!
Really enjoyed watching the process for your "after quilt". Pieced backing videos are often neglected and more and more I'm wanting a pieced back or after quilt so thank you and more please as your instructions and guidance are much appreciated. Also more information about your labels and your process please. Thanks
Hi, I am going to start my quilting journey as soon as I get back Home to Florida. I have a Singer…bought at Walmart on night when my VERY old Singer died on me and I was told that they could bot repair it……it had made all my curtains and kid clothes as well as some of mine for over 30 yrs. I am thinking of perhaps buying a new or good used one better than what I have and friendly to quilting. I have a lot of respect and admiration for what you do and the money saving tips you hand out so freely make life a little easier. I was looking at BabyLok and would like your opinion on a good sewing machine that I would not have to break the bank buying as I am not a youngster either and on a fixed income,,,,,it would have to be well under 1K. Thank you so much.
In my humble opinion, your quilt is a masterpiece, both front and back. I'm so inspired!
🤗🤗🤗
Your quilt is stunning , that colour combination is one of my favourites I love how the colours act with eachother.

mazel tov!
This one is drop dead gorgeous. Not that that is unusual for you! You are a true inspiration for many - including me - thank you for that!
That turned out beautiful!!!!!! I also LOVE the afterquilt!!!

Karen, you’re such an incredible artist - that improvised after-quilt is so stunning that I would say this quilt has no “back”!
It’s beautiful Karen! All your hard work and time has been more than worthwhile. 💜🧡
This process video and your most recent scraps video have been SO HELPFUL!!! even just the tip you give here about looking at smaller scraps first when scheming an afterquilt has already made a difference in my weekend quilt planning. Thank you Karen, you're a gem! 💎
Don’t know how I missed this one, but I learned not to be too lazy with the after quilt process. Your results are beautiful, front and back.
Another simply awesome video, Karen - thank you so much! Your ability to put yourself and your instructions across to all of us is so easy and seamless. I just feel as if I'm watching my lifelong friend Karen showing me what her latest project has been and how she's gone about completing it and as we "talk" she's giving me encouragement and ideas about how I can complete my creation.

Omg Karen you are phenomenal when it comes to getting things done 😮 I get so sew inspired by you thank you again for your videos.
It feels so good to finish a quilt & yours was awesome!
I love your Tula quilt! I have yet to participate in the 100 days 100 blocks QAL but I would really like to one day.
One of the great things about it is that, if you don't finish all 100 blocks the first year, you can jump back in the next year. They do, however, change the pattern after several years. I think the present one has run for three years and there will be a new pattern for 2023.
Thanks so much Karen, you are a blessing to all of the world quilters.
Happy quilting to you ❤
Bravo! This may be my favorite of your quilts. And I love the symmetry of your quilt back scraps. I'm off to watch your 100 days playlist!
Karen, you look especially good wearing the teal colored shirt.
I have made this comment before..you are very good at this..I love your tone, it makes me want to listen and watch! Our quilting style is very different but I don’t care..always interesting and helpful. Safe travel and have fun🙂(KH)

I absolutely love the lime and purple combination.

You are brilliant! What a fabulous, creative, educational video. Thanks very much!
Wow Karen, I do admire your patience! And the back looks just as wonderful as the front! Such an inspiration!

Really awesome!!!

Keep the blocks simple and iron them flat helps alot

Beautiful backings quilt
I love your quilt. Great choice of colour. Where will you go in the Netherlands ?
I’m back home now. I was in Zutphen
Is there a quilt event in Holland next week? And will you film it for us?
Already back home
Hhhmmmm thinking, although this looks good …. You could have used a bedsheet for backing or a duvet cover
The first time I made a back using up pieces left over from the front, my friends sort of sniffed like I was a cheapskate. I’m so happy to see you legitimizing this creative but thrifty habit.
Your friends would hate me. Every quilt I make is scrappy! And I use cool scraps everywhere. Scrap-busting is also earth friendly.
I appreciate how you tell us what you’re thinking while you work. I always learn something! Beautiful quilt and after quilt.

it's amazing - the more I do scrappy backs. the more I LIKE scrappy backs. they are just more interesting.
Great video. Thank you. I love how you get right to the point without a lot of chit chat. Fabulous quilt and backing.

Beautiful quilt, Karen! I love seeing the scrap process! It is so fun to just sew and create freely.

Karen, your quilt is fabulous!! Thanks for taking us on the journey with you. I love making pieced backs!
I love how all parts of this quilt work together...the prints and colors are great. And I also love how you explain setting up the back. Great job!
Such a fun and beautiful quilt, Karen. Well done!
Wonderful backing and fabulous quilt. I loved how it came together. I think I would have confused myself over and over. You amaze me.
Love the pieced back. I've done this with several quilts and to me it's like I am the creator of a jigsaw puzzle 😃
It's BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE how used much of your fabrics, GREAT idea! bc you don't need to think about a new matching color. And really why not be fugal. THANK you for your talents. ENJOY your trip. Save travels.

Thank you for sharing your tips with us. I have been quilting for 33 years but still learn so much from you. 👍🥰

Hello. Love the quilt. All the colors. It's so beautiful. Have a safe trip.
question about pressing - I get nervous about using steam because it always shrinks my blocks slightly and then my measurements are off. But the blocks get so flat! At what point in the afterquilt process do you use steam, if at all?
I don’t use steam. I use a spritz of water when the creases are dep
Wow, Karen, It’s Turned Out Beautifully. I Love Your Quilt, all the Memories wrapped up together. ❤️❤️❤️ Have a wonderful weekend, 🥰 Chris aka Chris-Raleigh NC

I really enjoyed this video Karen! You inspire me ! Thanks for all the tips and tricks. Love your show
Brava! 😲If that was you not feeling terribly creative, Karen, then we should feed, caffeinate, and rest you up, then point you in the direction of solving world peace (piece?)!!
I love the way you process the after quilt. Beautiful, enjoy your trip. Can't wait for what you come up with next.
It turns out so wonderful.
Congratulations to this journey with the perfect finish. You can be very proud 👏👏👏
Thank you for sharing your work and ideas!
I'm getting the binding on my first quilt soon and it'll be ready to go on my bed!
Awesome!! I am working on hand quilting my first one! I'm afraid its going to have to go on the back burner since it's time for Halloween sewing.
Enjoy your finished quilt for me! ;)
Congratulations Sarah!! I only have two quilts completely finished (& gifted) myself, but I can guarantee you will enjoy *such* a sense of accomplishment when you are finished that binding. Make sure you take lots of pictures- far away & close up. Well done!!
The quilt is gorgeous!!! And I love your new hair do! Very flattering!
Absolutely beautiful! I am partial to scrap quilts because I want to keep my stash under control. After quilts are the answer and couldn't be more stunning. How fun for the person using it to be able to flip it and have a whole other visual experience!
Wow just watching you organize those scraps is amazing! You’ve made a whole extra quilt for that beautiful back!
I also love that owl fabric by Tula Pink. So much so that I bought several yards of it, thought about it for a few days, and went back and bought a few more. At present, I'm still at the gloat-over-it stage. 😄
😂🎉❤
I am absolutely amazed by this beautiful work of art! Love your videos. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us! Always inspiring .❤
You say you’re pleased with your quilt..oh my dear..l think you should be over the proverbial moon..another phenom result …🇨🇦
Amazing Karen, a masterpiece on both sides, and to finish it with so much else going on, inspirational. Thank you for sharing this idea, I try to incorporate scraps into the backs of my quilts too. Vx
You are so incredibly creative! Thanks for sharing your masterpiece!

And I love the idea of using them as is without cutting other than straightening the edges.
Great job! I like the back as much as the front.
All I can say is "WOW"! I absolutely love blue and yellow quilts!! They get me every time!!
Thank you
I love it! I want those fabrics too! 😊
