@PatSloan I love how you don't stress. Not enough fabric to cut one more 10 " block. Just piece a strip on to make it 10". Block slightly too small. Just add a strip. You also have built a stash with a thought out idea so you don't have to shop for more fabric. You usually can make something you have work and you are organized enough to quickly find it. Thanks for walking us through you thought processes. Thanks for showing me how Not to stress.
Yes, more tank tops. Please! I am going through menopause and I cannot wear t-shirts! They are just too hot, LOL! I would absolutely love some quilting tank top shirts period love you Pat.
I just made my one of my grandsons a Minecraft Quilt. The character is the Creeper. I made it with all five inch squares in different solid green colors. The creeper character itself is solid black squares. Green. Green. Green. I saw green in my sleep. It was suppose to have a pixel look so I had to make sure that the same color green was not together. Even after that I like solids.
Solids? Yes, I do use them , but not as much as prints. Solids tend to spot and show it, so since I make so many kids quilts, prints tend to be better for them. However, I started piecing and quilting around the time of the bicentennial. That was also when the Amish Quilts were of great interest (Esprit collection). They used mostly solids, I think it was prescribed by their Church order. So... I started using/collecting solids as I wanted to make some of their designs. Over the years, I have made other quilts to feature solids, but I mostly work with patterns. Currently I am doing a mystery sew along with solids and I do love the way the colors are really highlighted using solids.
I do use a lot of solids for backgrounds and for backing sometimes. When I first started quilting I was scared to use all the beautiful prints because they didn't "match." I have evolved!
I just started collecting solids _ I didn’t realize they are priced less than prints! I also store my colors in a bin - then I have a bin for beiges/whites and a bin for grey and black .
As you can see from my purple quilt on The Fireside Chat, I do use solids, but I like the ones that show motion or some type of weave or small print that reads solid. I use them to make something pop or tone down.
I sort my solids separately so when I need some for a project, I check the bin. I do purchase extra fabric when on sale of potential backgrounds (lights) - store in a separate bin.
I generally don’t ever use solids unless it’s my background. And mostly love a tone on tone background now. I keep at least one bolt of a solid onhand though so I can always have some in stash without always having to buy all the fabrics for a pattern.
Yes, we use solid fabrics. Great for inner borders, sashing, borders and bindings. Solid help to set off a favorite very busy fabric or tone down a section/block on a quilt. lots of time, the solid is more of an accent piece.
I use solids a lot. The younger crowd likes quilts with solids. I keep Moda snow around for background. I use the moda solid layout panel that list all the colors to make my choice. I also use solids for the backings. The price differential helps with costs.
I do have a collection of solids. Pinks, beiges, tans, and off whites for skin tones. Mostly, I go to that pile when I can't find the right shade/color that I'm looking for in the prints. Happy Canada Day! Love the scrap/crumb blocks and how you are using them.
Tank t-shirts would be very nice for the summer live in Texas and yes things are very hot also I would like to try to see what I could do with your porch swing fabric. That would be very nice to try to do something nice for summer with the greens .All right you have a great day and thanks for all you do your channel is absolutely wonderful.
I do use solids, but usually just with other solids rather than mixed with prints.The exception is backgrounds - I have used solids for backgrounds many times.
I've been having fun sewing squares together on really light fusible. It's so much faster and more accurate than sewing them together two at a time. I'm thinking this postage stamp block would be a good candidate.
I have used Kona, white and Kona snow before. I won some colored solids years ago, and I made two baby quilts with them. But a pattern I wrote, I will be using a Bella black solid. Pat you might want to check your block placement. You should have the smaller (scraps portion) turned in to the center. You have the large portion in the center.
I thought the pattern showed the narrow end of the scrappy block towards the center of the block and the wider part to the outer edge. My brain is spinning since I saw you sew the first block together. Either way looks great, Love your videos, I watch with my coffee every day.
Happy Canada Day! to all my fellow Canadians lurking here with Pat every morning :). Enjoying a day off and the last Canada Day for some time where it lines up with a weekend. Completing the quilting on my Figtree Canned Pears Quilt. It's all "push and mush" through my domestic. Looking forward to having it done for summer. I have had to pause Pat's QAL for Christmas in July to advance this summer cutie.
Yes! I love solids. I like white backgrounds on lots of quilts but thanks to you am expanding my use of other colors. I don't like quilts that are too 'busy'. You inspire me to 'get out of my box' and try something else!!
I’m enjoying my summer so far, at the lake! I just told my husband that you would love it there. I made white and red polka dot curtains for the kitchen a few years ago!! 😉 Please enter me in your recent giveaway!
I rarely use solids. Right now, however, I'm working on a wedding quilt that is scrappy but I am using a black solid for part of the pieced border blocks. It will be very striking. I think solids are great if you want the quilting to stand out.They are also great as backgrounds. I'm not a big fan of quilts that are made of all solids. I tend to find them boring to look at. I definitely think they have their purpose and that they aren't used enough. I need to work on that.
Hi Pat, Plans this summer.. complete a “Chemo quilt” for a family member to use during treatment this summer, finish a baby quilt for my newest grandchild due in Sept in Australia! Also of course I have the Liberty box and am hoping to join in Star of Wonder wal. Good thing I am retired😅 Happy Summer, great time for a new tank top!😁
Love to watch your videos. My plans this summer is to spend as much time with family as possible. July 4th everyone is coming to my house to celebrate. Always a fun time with my children and grandchildren. Hope you are enjoying summer as well. Would love the shirt and jelly foll.
Good Morning Pat from coastal California! 🐬You have inspired me to tackle some purchased and home made kits and panel projects this summer - making really good progress… 💪 Current kit is all solids. Otherwise, Grunge more my go-to solid, some tone on tones. BTW, love those two panels that show multiple Bella solids & multiple Kona solids - handy tool for color reference. Need a Grunge one! ❤
Doing a shop hop one year I collected solid fat quarters. I used them in a queen sized log cabin style pattern. it's our summer quilt and currently on our bed. The left overs went into a scrappy irish chain which I donated for a raffle. Both turned out fantastic!
Two things I don't have much of are white fabrics and solids. I seem to go for tone on tone fabrics or tiny prints that read solid. I find they make my quilts much more interesting (to me!) I love how organized you are. I am working on that!
I rarely use solids. When I buy a lot of a Moda fabric line, I sometimes buy the coordinating Bella solids if the designer specifies the correct colors to use. I have found that trying to pick out my own colors online results in my purchasing fabric that does not match. I prefer tone on tone prints.
Hi Pat, I love the tank top and would like to have one! My plan for July is to make a baby quilt and next month to start quilts for a couple of birthdays. Love your videos!
I love how tough don't seem to get stressed by having so many projects running! And all beautiful! I moved to a vacation area least year and this will be my first full year of enjoying everything it offers (and having time and space for the first time in many years to again enjoy quilting). Have a good day my friend. 😊
Ironically I am sorting all my solids mixed in my storage bins, to a container of their own, right now. I never made a quilt of all solids, but I just bought a bunch of Kona dk gray for a background to use all my solids for the blocks.
An enjoyable show as always. I keep a bolt of Kona white, snow and black on hand at all times. I love working with prints and find one of these solids seem to always work with the prints. Like you said, they cost a bit less and really make the prints pop. I'm hoping the FQS stocks up on your Porch Swing 2 1/2" strips or that I am the lucky winner. Thank You as always. Learn something new every day.
Yes, Pat I use both solids and print. I buy single pieces and bundles for specific projects mainly. I’m doing a particular quilt pattern at the moment by Bonnie K Hunter. ❤❤
I quilt with scraps and I am given lots by friends who are not scrap quilters. I save my solids to use for appliques. Of course sometimes I have the perfect print for a lions body or a boats sail. It's amazing how non matching fabrics look great in kids quilts.
Great show Pat! So much to share🤣🤣 Looking forward to the pics if VA Quilt Museum. I do use and love solids. They’re great for pulling fabrics together, adding variations and backgrounds! The tank top will be a great addition to your collection! Spot on for this heart wave most of us are experiencing 🥵
Never seen a quilter's tank top before, would definitely love to win this giveaway....and your fabric makes this 100% the perfect giveaway this summer!!! Thank you!
MSQS had a layer cake of your Sleepover fabric on sale last week. Even though I have out a moretorium on fabric buying for a time just had to order it.
Summer plans are to hopefully get a vacation in before I babysit my new granddaughter for the school season, while mama goes back to work. Plus get some of my UFOs finished, loved your idea on getting quilt labels done ahead of time! Happy Sewing!
I'm not a fan of solids except as background. I have leftovers from quilts. I'm thinking of cutting them up into 2.5" squares for a colorful background in a scrappy quilt.
I love the new scrappy (wonky) quilt. It looks like such fun! I also don't tend to use many solids and I've really never thought much about it until your talk today. HMMM! My summer fun will be sitting on my patio and enjoy the weather (if it ever stays nice HA).
Happy Canada Day to all. We will be going to our local fire hall for their annual pancake breakfast. Tables set up inside their fire truck hall, they cook the breakfasts on outdoor grills. Local community band plays through out. The emergency vehicles are available for all to view, including children. Always a good community building event where we can meet and visit. I love your barn raising quilt. I will aim for that with my scraps that I’ve been saving. I will look at your new tank tops and hope you brought one in as a v neck as you did some of your t-shirts.
In your don Quixote block you have the wide part of the scrap blocks in the center. I can't tell for sure..but in the pattern I think the wide part of the scrap block would be toward the outside edge. This makes it more like a windmill.
Yes, I would love to win the tank top and the jelly roll. That is my favorite fabric. I plan on going this summer to the new Virginia quilt museum. Maybe you’ll be there at the same time what a blessing that would be.
I look forward to watching your video each day as I have my coffee! I am excited about the jelly roll project and am doing mine in reds and white! Thank you for sharing your experience with all of us!❤❤
Hi Pat, I am loving the scrappy Don Quixote blocks! This quilt is going to be so colorful and what a good way to get rid of some fabric scraps😊 Now if I can just gather my scraps and sit and sew them into blocks. Thanks for showing this project. Wishing you a Happy July 4th.❤️
I love using solids for background but really haven't used them other than that. I don't have any dark purple quilts but it's my favorite color. If I ever make a quilt for myself it will have purple as the main color. I love the one you showed. Thank you for sharing.
I use so.ids for sashing and borders. I use them in QOVs especially when I have a panel to accent. Purple quilts? Mmmm… I made one, but been awhile so not sure where a pic will be.
Thanks for showing us how you use your scrap blocks and fabric. I will be excited to see them both the new one and the yellow one go together. I love the aqua one that you did. Thanks Jo

Thank you!
Happy Canada day to all our Canadian friends.
I use solids all the time. It helps me to balance the busy fabric.

I worked at Joann's for 8 yrs. I won't need fabric until I'm 100 yrs old. 😂
Love your videos every morning! Even when vacationing! Thank you!
Yay! Thank you!
Yes, more tank tops. Please! I am going through menopause and I cannot wear t-shirts! They are just too hot, LOL! I would absolutely love some quilting tank top shirts period love you Pat.
I love scrappy quilts. Yes. Memories. Scrappy and string quilts! Stash busters!
Love tank tops, 107 here today in Northern California. I plan to visit family in my home state of Washington.
Happy Canada Day !!
I would love to be considered for the tank top prize! What a joy!

That is a great sleeveless top, I wear them in summer, it's very hot where I live in California. I have several of her shirts and love them.
So glad to hear you're liking the tees!! XO
I use solids for my Seminole patchwork garments, but I do have a collection of 100 %cotton solid fabrics that I like to use with some prints.
Happy Canada Day🙂 Don't use much in the way of solids, but I am not opposed. Enjoyed the video, Ty Pat!👍🇱🇷🙂
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day to our wonderful neighbours to the north.
Thank you

I love solids! And yes, I use them to accent my prints.
I think the wide end should be turned to the out side edge of the block like a fan blade
I don't use alot of solids for some reason. I did, however, use some bright solids recently in a baby quilt.
I quilt with scraps and I am given lots by friends who are not scrap quilters. I save my solids to use for appliques. Of course sometimes I have the perfect print for a lions body or a boats sail. It's amazing how non matching fabrics look great in kids quilts.
Great show Pat! So much to share🤣🤣
Looking forward to the pics if VA Quilt Museum.
I do use and love solids. They’re great for pulling fabrics together, adding variations and backgrounds!
The tank top will be a great addition to your collection! Spot on for this heart wave most of us are experiencing 🥵
I might use solids a little to coordinate with my prints. I do use Solids as backings sometimes.
I love quilts made with solids, but never seem to have any, so now have a solids subscription from FQS.
Love your March Block a Day quilt. This is my favorite pattern I’ve made this year! A pattern I’d do over and over!
Great show
Not big on solids but may use for a binding. I don’t typically keep many in my stash
I like solids for 2 or 3 color quilts
Trying to use what is in my stash. Love solids
My summer plans include longarm quilting my queen oh my stars and completing a tshirt quilt. I enjoy the videos so much!
Never seen a quilter's tank top before, would definitely love to win this giveaway....and your fabric makes this 100% the perfect giveaway this summer!!! Thank you!
I ❤ that T-shirt!!!
Hi! Pat, I never use solids, I love tone on tones especially in whites.
I prefer tone on tone over solids
Going to Chicago next week to hit all the quilt shops up north!
I don’t use solids very often but should try introducing them more often!
I prefer solids to prints. I find them easier to work with. I don't look at the brand, as long as I like the color.
I use solids all the time..can't have enough
I absolutely love your purple scrap quilt. This is on my bucket list
MSQS had a layer cake of your Sleepover fabric on sale last week. Even though I have out a moretorium on fabric buying for a time just had to order it.
Solids are fun - I made a Board & Batten quilt with solids in blue and teal charms and it turned out really nice!
I never thought about how much solid fabric I use until this video. My stash is mostly solids. And yes, I love tanktops also.
I rarely use solids except in backgrounds. I just prefer the movement of prints.
I don’t like using solids at all. I will usually choose a Moda Grunge, which I love, or maybe Robin Pickins “Thatched”.
Summer plans are to hopefully get a vacation in before I babysit my new granddaughter for the school season, while mama goes back to work. Plus get some of my UFOs finished, loved your idea on getting quilt labels done ahead of time! Happy Sewing!
I'm not a fan of solids except as background. I have leftovers from quilts. I'm thinking of cutting them up into 2.5" squares for a colorful background in a scrappy quilt.
YESI LOVE TANK TOPS AND SOLIDS AND SCRAP QUILTS OF ALL KINDS
Canada Day here, so Solid Red & White for the win. 👍❤️🙂🇨🇦
Oh my goodness!!! It was fun seeing the second picnic basket of solid fabrics. That vintage basket is one my parents used to use when I was young;)
I love the new scrappy (wonky) quilt. It looks like such fun! I also don't tend to use many solids and I've really never thought much about it until your talk today. HMMM! My summer fun will be sitting on my patio and enjoy the weather (if it ever stays nice HA).
Happy Canada Day to all. We will be going to our local fire hall for their annual pancake breakfast. Tables set up inside their fire truck hall, they cook the breakfasts on outdoor grills. Local community band plays through out. The emergency vehicles are available for all to view, including children. Always a good community building event where we can meet and visit.
I love your barn raising quilt. I will aim for that with my scraps that I’ve been saving.
I will look at your new tank tops and hope you brought one in as a v neck as you did some of your t-shirts.
I’m not a big fan of using solids and only do it when there’s no other workable option! 😊
Do not use solids very often. I will use them for backings sometimes.
I don’t use solids, except perhaps for binding. I feel they look flat and prefer to use tone on tone instead.
I have a navy blue and pink solid quilt cut out. I do love the 2 color quilts. TFS
Summer plans - I just retired so a lot of quilting in my summer plans 😃 along with a few quick trips to visit out of town family
In your don Quixote block you have the wide part of the scrap blocks in the center. I can't tell for sure..but in the pattern I think the wide part of the scrap block would be toward the outside edge. This makes it more like a windmill.
Yes, I would love to win the tank top and the jelly roll. That is my favorite fabric. I plan on going this summer to the new Virginia quilt museum. Maybe you’ll be there at the same time what a blessing that would be.
I look forward to watching your video each day as I have my coffee! I am excited about the jelly roll project and am doing mine in reds and white! Thank you for sharing your experience with all of us!❤❤
Hi Pat, I am loving the scrappy Don Quixote blocks! This quilt is going to be so colorful and what a good way to get rid of some fabric scraps😊 Now if I can just gather my scraps and sit and sew them into blocks. Thanks for showing this project. Wishing you a Happy July 4th.❤️
I love solids, mainly use them for backgrounds, but occasionally for a quilt back.
I love using solids for background but really haven't used them other than that. I don't have any dark purple quilts but it's my favorite color. If I ever make a quilt for myself it will have purple as the main color. I love the one you showed. Thank you for sharing.
I use so.ids for sashing and borders. I use them in QOVs especially when I have a panel to accent.
Purple quilts? Mmmm… I made one, but been awhile so not sure where a pic will be.
Thanks for showing us how you use your scrap blocks and fabric. I will be excited to see them both the new one and the yellow one go together. I love the aqua one that you did. Thanks Jo
I use solids with print fabrics. I'll be with my grandsons a lot this summer. Thank you for all your videos!
Lovely purple quilt!
I love the scrappy quilt blocks! I only have a few solids in my stash. Thanks for the video and all you do!
Hi Pat, I am new to quilting and your videos I Love them, I learn something from every one THANK YOU!
Cool! Thanks in advance! Plan to take a 7 day Caribbean cruise. & sew sew sew!!!
