    For such a short video, you showed me three important things: it's possible to make a great quilt without agonizing over how to incorporate 21 fabrics; there are tools to help you cut straight; and...strip units! ☺️That was inspiring. Thank you!

    I love the fabric used in this video. Also, the quilting as well is wonderful. Your humor always makes me break out in laughter!!

    I am so happy to see the Midnight Quilter is back! I love this quilt. I have two great nephews that I wanted to make something quick and masculine for them. So I am going to pick 4 colors, double up on the fabric and try to make a little variety in which color goes for which strip. Wish me luck!

    I love to pick out fabric. I find the more fabrics better. I find when you only have 3 fabrics they all have to play well with each other. Thanks you for bringing back the Midnight Quilter. Love it!

    Love picking out fabrics. I start with a print that I like and pull colors out that piece. Lots of times, I don't even use the original fabric and that's ok because the colors go well together. Loving this quilt!

    I also struggle with matching multiple fabrics! This video is wonderful for showing how impact full using only 3 fabrics can be. Now I need that stripology ruler and more videos!

    @susanlee1827 2 года назад +5

    That pattern is so perfect for quick gifting or just exercising your quilting muscles. I do love choosing fabrics most of the time. I like seeing how they play off of each other and make some parts pop.

    I LOVED that fabric combo, and the swirl design, that is what gives this quilt the chef's kiss.

    When I was a new quilter I struggled with fabric selection. Now I feel confident with my choices. Love that quilt design. Units looks like a better way to piece than just strips.

    Looks like a fun quilt to make, adding to my list !! I love that there are only 3 fabrics to choose. Your fabrics are great! I am getting better at picking/putting fabrics together. I used to rely on my quilting buddy, but she “dumped” me after 25 years. Sad, but I have learned to have more confidence in myself and now enjoy the process more! Her loss! Love all your challenges!

  • @colleenfreeman9421
    @colleenfreeman9421 2 года назад

    YAY! Midnight Quilter has returned! I cannot thank you enough for admitting that some steps of the quilting process are more challenging than others for you. I too struggle with picking fabrics. However, my 10 year old granddaughter is a natural at putting color and fabrics together and whenever I'm stuck - she comes to the rescue. Seriously! Last time she helped me I had 63 hexagons laid out on the floor and could not figure out how best to put them together. She took one look and said "Oma, I have a vision!" I sewed them together exactly how she laid them out and it's gorgeous. Team work makes the Dream work!

  • @bethallen5691
    @bethallen5691 2 года назад +3

    Absolutely love this quilt design. I definitely see making it in the future. I usually pick my fabrics for a quilt from a designer’s fabric line. I am branching out more though and would like to chose my own fabric even if it’s a different fabric line, I’m still working on that skill set 😉 but I love auditioning fabrics for sampler blocks, of course from a coordinated fabric bundle.

  • @pattisears3192
    @pattisears3192 2 года назад

    This is such a gorgeous simple but effective design. Pleasing on the eye! Of course, I am in Angela's corner and a "picking buddy" has my back! Sonica and I help each other and because we are very good friends, we can be honest with choices and can say to each other, uhm NO! 😁

    It is so great to have the midnight quilter back. I'm sure it is difficult to find the time, but there is nothing else like it. And you remind us that the point is to have fun. I started to believe I could actually quilt because of the midnight quilt show! Thanks for all you share and bring to the process.

    Well, I have problems picking my own fabrics, however, when I am at the fabric store, others will ask for my opinion/help and it is easier for someone else. I also really like the teal/grey colorway that you showed in this video. Glad to see you (Midnight Quilter)!!!

  • @gerikuster6603
    @gerikuster6603 2 года назад

    I like designers lines for easy fabric choices, but recently have been working with scrap quilts and deciding placement only by values for contrast. Love what you do. Hope you had a wonderful holiday season, Angela. We were caught in the Colorado wildfires and lost a home, but family all safe, thank God, and that is the most important thing. Prayers for all the families in that disaster.

  • @marlenegerhard1464
    @marlenegerhard1464 2 года назад

    It was good to see you back with a Midnight Quilter video!!!! I used to really love the process of picking fabrics for quilts. Now that so many shops are organized by fabric collection, it makes it actually a little hard for people like me to find what I want. I have to walk all over looking at the various collections rather than looking at a selection of reds, say. However, it's all still fun! And I still have one "old-fashioned" quilt shop near my Cape Cod house organized in a way that picking your fabric is easy (or easy as can be). Too many fabrics, too many choices!

    @donnastjules8157 2 года назад

    I love picking out fabric! I will often pick out a fabric that I have fallen in love with - sometimes it is a large print or one with a lot of colour and then I will pick all of the other fabrics to coordinate with it. I just love to see a quilt coming together with a variety of fabrics that all tie together! I love this new kit - even though it is just three colours - it is a lovely design.

  • @lorikalmeyer3501
    @lorikalmeyer3501 2 года назад +1

    Love this quilt and your honesty regarding fabric selection. Selecting the fabric is the part I enjoy the most with quilting it all together is my least favorite part. We all have strengths and weaknesses so it’s great to help each other where we need it. I’m always on the lookout for easier patterns to make quilts for Project Linus and this one just might fit the bill. Have missed the Midnight Quilter - happy to see you again. Happy New Year to you and your fam.

    Great to see the midnight quilter again! Since I have a head injury from a car accident in August, I can’t sleep and I’m awake way past midnight. I can only watch a few minutes of video at a time and it’s nice to have some quality video without a lot of noise that I don’t have to try to memorize. Color selection didn’t used to be a problem, although I was always sure that the next quilt shop would have just the right color that I was looking for. But since my head injury everything is a struggle. Hoping to get back to my normal self with the help of teaching like yours.

    I love picking out fabric! Matter of fact, just in the last 3 days, i have helped people pick out fabric for their quilts! No , I don’t work at a quilt store and no judging why i was there 3 days in a row! Matter of fact, i helped and put my 2cents in on what the owner was ordering from Jaftex! You do great picking out fabric Angela. You just go for the more muted tones. That’s probably from doing all the brights from Tula!!!!! Ha ha ha. Love the store, love the quilt and love the challenges. Heck, i love it all!

    @carahoward5865 2 года назад

    When it comes to quilting, the fabric selection process is both one of my least favorite and most favorite things to do. Least: Because I spend waaay too much time looking through and admiring all of my vintage, modern, hand-me-down, etc. fabric. Most: It dares me to try new color and print/solid combinations. The results are always an awesome surprise. Give yourself a pat on the back girl! You do amazing work!

  • @janetfrazier9688
    @janetfrazier9688 2 года назад

  • @nicoleseto4876
    @nicoleseto4876 2 года назад +1

    I’m like a kid in a candy store when I’m at the fabric store. I see so many different fabrics and get so many ideas. I have to be careful so I don’t go broke. When I pick out fabrics I try to match what the person who will be receiving the project will enjoy and buy accordingly. It can be frustrating when you can’t get the colors to match as closely as I would like.
    Love your videos.

    I used to hate picking out fabric for a quilt. Then I learned to pick out a fabric that I like that has multiple colors in it. I choose fabrics that would go with it. Then put the first fabric back. Those fabrics that went with the first fabric all go together and make a beautiful quilt I find choosing fabrics fun now!

    Angela as always this video is sublime. This quilt pattern excites me to keep sewing and quilting. I am glad I am not the only one who gets stumped by matching colors.
