What a great informational video.
This is going to be a fun one, for those participating! I am no longer in denial about what I can and can't get done, lol, so I am sitting this one out, but still looking forward to your videos about it! Have a blessed day, Corey!
There are always so many fun projects to work on that we need to make sure and choose just the right ones for us!
Love this idea…cutting is my least favorite part of quilting…Im going to try this idea and strip piece and then finish the cutting as i go. Thank you for sharing these ideas…ive been quilting since my 20’s and am 61… i love learning new tips and tricks that others use! Youre the best! 🫶🏽
Cutting background fabric can be especially not fun!...there's usually the most of it and it tends to be the least jazzy print. =)
Oh, my gosh! No WONDER I thought I might want to do your quilt along!!!! I LOVE your organisation!!!! Somehow, you hit upon the exact way that I think! With most patterns, I have to completely reinterpret them into my way of thinking, then, after making notes, I begin the cutting, etc. Several times, patterns have been thrown across the room, never to be seen again!!!! Thank goodness, my wonderful grandmother agreed to teach me how to sew when I was 5 (My mom had a kitchen full of potholders!!!!), and that I began with Vogue clothing patterns, so beginning quilting was a breeze, and for most traditional quilts, I can just look at them and cut/sew! Thanks--in many ways, you make things MUCH easier for me--and probably everyone else, too! If I were to ever write a pattern, I will definitely remember your way of organisation, and give you full credit for your brilliance!
I'm so glad you find it helpful! We all approach quilt making so differently!
@@CorianderQuilts I think the oddball is me! I'm just so thankful for people like you and my grandmother, who understand how visual learners think! A sense of humor always helps!!!
Thank you for sharing some cutting instructions, it is very helpful. Starberry is an amazing collection, ❤it.
You are so welcome!...thank you so much!---I'm glad you find that helpful!
Would love to see your studio and how you store your fabrics sometime🥰
I would love to share that!
Thank you Corey. I love your attention to detail and can't wait to sew along with everyone. This fabric line is gorgeous.
You are so welcome! I'm looking forward to sewing along with everyone!
I prefer to cut each block at a time. Smaller chunks at a time work best for me. Thanks for all the cutting tips. 😊
You are so welcome! I know there are other quilters who much prefer smaller cuts too. =)
I love the idea of having everything cut in advance, especially the background. If I get bored, I will cut the strips for sure. That green floral is my favorite in the Starberry collection. ❤ I ordered more of it even though I have no plans for it.
It's so nice to have everything cut ahead of time...then, you can just grab and sew. =)
Love your suggestion of cutting the strips for the background. Thank you for this tip! Love it!!😍
You're so welcome!
Excited about this. I have done crochet alongs but this is my first sew along. I have sewn for 54 years...started at age 11. Only into quilting recently. Got the pattern a long time ago...look at it off and on...almost have it memorized now 😊!
We are going to have so much fun!
Good morning. I love your fabrics and all your cute patterns 🌹🌹🌹
Good morning!...thank you!
Ooo. I can’t wait. Looking forward to so much fun. 😊
It will be fun to sew along with everyone!
Great tips Corey! Thanks!
You're so welcome!
The Starberry collection is gorgeous and this pattern is adorable. I’m thinking of making two so each of my great nieces will have one. I have so many WIPs already, I’m a little hesitant but thinking about it. One of the things in my favor corner is you are starting this in plenty enough time to actually get it done before Christmas. I’m so grateful for that! Thank you for hosting this sew along and your great patterns and fabrics!
Thank you so much! That would be such amazing gifts for your great nieces!
I think I have everything on order and will be ready to go once everything is received. This will be a challenge for me. I think I will be starching and see if I can improve my results. My last project suffered greatly from things shrinking during ironing. Hopefully light starching will help with that. Can’t wait.
You might find you quite enjoy pre-starching. I always like the results I get with pre-starching but don't often take the time to do so. =)
Thanks for this! I will starch and then start precutting the fabrics.
You are so welcome! Happy cutting!
Thank you once again for a great video. I always learn something new and helpful! I’m going to watch this video again. 😊
You're so welcome!...I'm so glad you found it helpful! =)
Beautiful fabric.
Thank you! 😊
I have received my kit. I am ready to get started!!!
Yay!
Thank you Corey!!! I've starched my fabric and started my cutting . I can't wait to get started on this darling quilt!! I've finished Wooly Wall Hanging and Deerly Loved and they are adorable!!! Starberry Fabric is just beautiful!!!!
You're so welcome! We are going to have so much fun sewing together. =)
This video was very timely. I starched my fabric, and because I use foundation paper for HST and flying geese, I need to have a blended system. I love to precut my fabrics, and I’m going to take your suggestion about cutting strips. I put the pieces for each block on a design board and label with the letter. Then I can just sew. I love your QALs and so looking forward to this project. Thank you for the tips.
You're so welcome Sandi!...For myself, a project like this works great if I keep things organized ahead of time.
I have to admit that I have already make the Cuddle Up Sampler. My favorite quilt shop asked me if I sew it up to put on display. It's going there tomorrow! It turned out adorable! I cut all my background stripes and labeled them. Then I subcut them as I worked the blocks. Then for the "pretty" fabric, I started with a block and cut each fabric per the pattern, labeled it. I did cut all the pieces and labelled them if they were for another block. Hope that made sense. But I love the idea of the cardboards to keep them organized! So much fun!!
How fun!...Your method sounds perfect for organization. =)
Thanks for sharing with us your process of working on a quilt. I am not opposed to cutting all the pieces ahead of time, I am just too lazy to do so, because for me it is the most boring part of quilting 🤣🤣🤣 but I do like to have everything handy and ready to go lol what a cute quilt along 💖
It's definitely not that exciting!...those background fabrics especially!
Thank you for sharing how you go about cutting
You are so welcome!
Looking forward to this! Thank you for this very helpful video!
Glad it was helpful! I'm looking forward to sewing along as well. =)
I'm looking forward to getting started with everyone on the 26th! Thanks for the tips and sharing the different methods for cutting to get ready, Corey!
I'm looking forward to it as well! =)
Thanks for the cutting tips. Will be getting started this weekend. Looking forward to this QAL
Have fun cutting!
Thank you for these videos, patterns and fabric. I finally found your beautiful fabric at Farmers Daughter in Oelwein, Iowa.
You are so welcome!...I'm so glad you have a local quilt shop you can purchase the fabrics from...it's so nice to see them in person!
This looks like a fun one to sew with!
I think so! =)
Thank you for all the suggestions.
Looking forward to getting started!!!
You are so welcome!...We are going to have so much fun sewing together. =)
Can’t wait. I have some of my fabric now to order my backing!
I can't wait to sew along with everyone!
Hi Corey, love your videos, thanks for sharing your cutting tips they are very useful. I recently purchased the pattern from your Etsy shop. I intend to follow along with you doing this. I think I may opt to cut for each block as I go along. I have the fabric all ready to go.
Thanks so much Marly! I set the pattern up so you can cut whichever way makes the most sense to you. =)
So excited for this to begin!! I cut all of my colored fabric pieces as soon as my bundle arrived. I’ve got them on design boards. Your diagrams were so helpful so I knew I’d have enough to straighten those checks. What background fabric are you using? Hard to see on the video. Is it the one listed in the pattern, that looks like a white on white design? Thanks!!❤
I am using the white on white print that is in Starberry (yes, it's the one listed in the pattern). Any of the Coriander Seeds white on whites are also nice options.
So excited to start!!!!
It's always fun to start a new project!
So your stash that huge. Now you have to stoll it away everywhere in the house. Is this the reason you stopped using the magazine boards?
This quilt along looks like a lot of fun. I wish I had the time to sew again.
The magazine boards work great for smaller cuts of fabric but not as well with larger cuts of fabric. Because I receive several yards of each fabric I design, I needed to come up with a different storage method. I've found folding them and laying them on the shelves works great.
Corey...thanks for your information on organizing your cutting...is there a set additional amount to buy that would help with starching...I am a beginner in all things quilting...thanks❤
For this pattern, you don't need to purchase additional fabric if you wish to starch. For other patterns, it really depends on if the pattern writer has given enough overage to allow for pre-starching/pre-washing....ideally that is the case but it can't always be counted on. Another thing to keep tucked in the back of your mind is to always check about pre-starching pre-cuts (fat quarters, fat eighths, layer cakes, charm packs etc.). Pre-cuts don't always allow for pre-starching.
Love your videos, fabric and patterns. Unfortunately I can't join your sew along this time but would love to know the pattern name of the quilt on your left.
Thank you!...you can always find quilts in my backdrop info in the description box below each video.
Thank you for going over this. To me this save time, fabric and my excitement/anxiety of wasting fabric. I do have a question which fabric starch do you use to pre-starch?
If I pre-starch, I use Faultless.
I would love to know why you no longer store your fabric on boards. How do you store it now. I've seen "Corey Yoder" fabric behind you in previous videos, how/where do you store other fabrics? Do you still find time to sew with non-coriander Quilts fabrics? Do you mix them? (I have the opposite of a storage "system" but am intrigued by what others do, did, or want to do in the perfect scenario.)
I receive several yards of each fabric that I design...those larger cuts don't work on the magazine boards. They work great for smaller cuts. I do have other non-Corey fabrics but a large portion is my own fabric. I was just sewing with Tilda fabrics over the last month (a little bit of that snuck it's way into some of the videos but not much). =) I really just need to do a sewing studio video...it's been on my agenda for a couple years I think and I just never get to it!
You always wear cute quilty t-shirts is there a link to purchase them??
Oops posted the question to quick… I see the link in you description below the video THANKYOU ‼️
Oh good!...yes, if one of my quilty tees is available to purchase, I will have it linked in the description box. =)
Great tip on cutting checks! They drive me bananas when they do not line up when pieced🧐🤣
I SO appreciate when patterns show the cut out measurements! TY Corey💕🧵
@@helenpeddycord2241 You're so welcome! I always straighten them up so they are nice and tidy when pieced in the block. =)
I would love to make this! But some of those pieces look small and really scare me. How small are the smallest pieces?
It's probably the stitch & flip corners that would have some of the smallest pieces. There would be some 1" squares.
Do you know if any quilt shop will sell a kit for cuddle up?
Yes, I shared a list of the quilt shops that had let me know they were kitting Cuddle Up Sampler on my blog here: corianderquilts.com/cuddle-up-sampler-sew-along-news/
Wondering if u have a Wooly wall hanging kit? Tia
I don't sell fabrics but there would have been quilt shops that kitted Wooly Wall Hanging.
@@CorianderQuilts ok haven’t had any luck on Etsy or my area, thx!
@@jeannewilliams6679 If you search "wooly wall hanging quilt kit" on Etsy, there is one that comes up. I also had a couple online quilt shops (not on Etsy) come up googling that phrase as well. Hope that helps!
What mini quilt was right behind you?
All of the quilts in my backdrop are linked in the description box below the video. =)
@@CorianderQuilts I'm talking about in the second part, the blue and white star one. 🙂 Sorry I should have specified.
@@diannagood6310 No problem!…It sounds like Barn Star 6 is the one you are after. You'll find all of the quilts in the backdrop listed at the bottom of the description box.
Is this available in a kit?
Yes, there were quilt shops kitting this sampler. I shared a list of quilt shops that had offered kits on my blog here: corianderquilts.com/cuddle-up-sampler-sew-along-news/
Canadians can’t buy pattern from Etsy?
Why not?
You sure can...the PDF version is available everywhere and I am happy to set-up a listing for you to ship the hardcopy to Canada if that would be your preference. The shipping for the book to Canda is $30.90 (actual cost of priority mail international shipping). Contact me on Etsy if you'd like me to set-up an order for you.
I always prefer hard copy but with those shipping costs I guess that’s the answer to my question 😢
I didn’t see the PDF option the first time looking but found soon after
Thankyou for responding 😊
