I love & seams. One of my first quilts was a strip project that I cut up into diamonds, then made Hexes and finally the quilt. It was a lot of work but the process was beyond satisfying.
Wow!! I have never seen a quilt done like this before, it gives me some ideas. My husband loves anything to do with space. What if I make a quilt in Hexi stars and applique a rocket ship onto it. I think it would be something he might like. it is funny how one gets all kinds of ideas from other inspirations, thank you for being a part of the quiltmas .
My great aunt leona taught me y-seams before she taught me regular straight seams. (She taught me how to improv quilt first) and she would always start my lessons with this statement "okay, i am teaching you to do -insert skill- and you are going to suck at it for a while because before you can really learn any skill you first have to make all the mistakes. Once you can fix the mistakes, you will know this skill and wonder why you were worried" and when i would complain about not being amazing she would just laugh and say "oh who cares. You are going to spend all your time around this quilt sleeping and snoring...it needs a strong character to survive the boredom...give it some happy accidents my dove!" 😂❤🎉 i still find myself fretting occasionally but watching your glorious quilts come together remind me of her assurances. Thank you for sharing your wonderful creativity ❤
Thank you for all the laughs! Enjoyed watching you create that quilt, and appreciate that you made Y seams look doable. Your fearless "I'll figure it out" is inspiring, and great result!
You were my favorite to watch! You are funny, and give people the confidence to just create something. It doesn’t have to be so stressful. Just have fun and remember why you love this hobby. I can’t wait to watch all your past videos and am looking forward to following you starting today.
Dave! I missed you on Tuesday so I was so happy to see you pop up on Wednesday! Merry Quiltmas indeed! Your hexie quilt is stunning and I love the addition of the deer (cause why not!?) So neat to see you involved in this project and I had fun tracking down the other quilters and watching their videos, what a cool variety of projects. I now have a bunch of new quilting youtubers to follow, prior to yesterday the only other one I had see was Kris from Sew The Distance.
Cool quilt... literally and figuratively! Creative idea to use two different sizes of hexies and then add the deer for an additional touch of nature. Happy holidays!
Dave I absolutely love your quilt The stag the hexagons the tie quilting. Everything amazing. Thankyou. I’m in Australia. I hope to enjoy a white Christmas just once 🎄✨💗
Dave! Stop! Your video about your hexie quilt is inspirational. It's an excellent quilt journey and a very interesting travel vlog. The quilt may be bonkers but that happens with objects infused with so much learning and memories. I LOVE IT
Love your quilt Dave! I did have to laugh though. The two hexi quilting shapes you did across the deer chest make him look like he has been bulking up. I was like Hey Deer! Nice Pecks! I love it and am going to try my best to win it. 😂
You are so brave and fearless as all are saying. You quilt is so much above most of the others in this series. I hope I can win yours! It's beautiful!!
I was worried there when I did not see one drop!!! Oh my love this quilt, love the deer and love super large hexies. I did Hexies larger than that and covered them all with salvage edges.
I stress over every detail. I admire how you just go with the flow! I could take a page from your book. I love this quilt! Thanks so much for sharing. 😊
I have been waiting for your Quiltmas video and expecting something wonderful. This quilt was well worth the wait. It is my favorite by far. Love your outside the box creativity.
I have been quilting for a long time and enjoy it so much, it’s so nice to see a young man like you quilting away. When I started quilting over 40 years ago as a male I was accepted as a quilter but you could always feel that some of the women didn’t think men were legitimate quilters. I love the way you approach your quilting and I’m due in a similar way but you are very or I should send you a picture of my studio you would go mad. Anyway don’t stop. I love the way you are so or I work out of chaos keep going and believe me I’ll cheer you on all the way.
You produced an exceptional quilt - the best one of the series - quilt police !! who are they?? You are inspirational in your work, no fear, just go for it - we all need to be a bit more Dave 😂😂😂😂
When I found out you were included this year I was so excited to see what you were doing, you did not disappoint me. This quilt is absolutely stunning and I will cross my fingers I win it.
What a cool quilt! Really enjoyed watching how you figured it all out and made a quilt just like you wanted. That's great! Thanks for sharing your creativity with all of us. Take care, blessings to you. Merry Christmas.
Hey, Dave! I was so excited that you were i the list of creators for this year’s Quiltmas! It’s absolutely no surprise that your quilt is stunning! Your creativity always shines through. I think that this is one of my favourites. I live in a small village in cottage country, and my property backs onto a golf course. Because of this, deer are regular visitors to my yard. It’s not uncommon to see several at a time. This quilt is the perfect representation of a deer visiting my home on a snowy night-just like the one we have tonight. It would be such an honour and a privilege to have this quilt my home. Imagine, me, an owner of a Dave’s original! Wow! Hmmm.. I wonder if this deer is related to the two in your cityscape quilt-sorry, I don’t recall its name. Perhaps this one is their country cousin! 🤣 Thank you, and stay well! Muskoka ON 🇨🇦
My favorite thing about you is how fearless you are. You don't need to be spoonfed every tiny infant baby step, you just take what you know and try things. You are truly an original, not a copycat. Keep experimenting! We love it!
Dave, you are remarkable! What a project! Your creativity is fun to watch! Right now, Brenda from Conquering Mt. Scrapmore, on her RUclips channel, Y-seam Wednesday. She's very good. It's a challenge that I have to try. Great looking quilt, Dave! Marion in Oregon
I’ve been excited for your project since day 1 when Kristen announced you were participating this year! As always, a great, creative quilt. Thanks Dave!
You are an inspiration to me!
A-Freaking-Mazing!!!
I love & seams. One of my first quilts was a strip project that I cut up into diamonds, then made Hexes and finally the quilt. It was a lot of work but the process was beyond satisfying.
OMG!!! Not ONLY y-seams, but DIFFERENT SIZED hexagons!!! You are FEARLESS (and EXTREMELY talented). Thank you, Dave.
Wow!! I have never seen a quilt done like this before, it gives me some ideas. My husband loves anything to do with space. What if I make a quilt in Hexi stars and applique a rocket ship onto it.

Unique style, design and creativity! 😍 Amazing! Thank you for sharing. MERRY QUILTMAS!😊🎄🎁❄☃️
Dave! Stop! Your video about your hexie quilt is inspirational. It's an excellent quilt journey and a very interesting travel vlog. The quilt may be bonkers but that happens with objects infused with so much learning and memories. I LOVE IT
🎉🎉🎉Beyond awesome! I have finally forgiven myself for giving you the premature hexi instruction - because it turned out so good! ❄️ ❄️
Love your quilt Dave! I did have to laugh though. The two hexi quilting shapes you did across the deer chest make him look like he has been bulking up. I was like Hey Deer! Nice Pecks! I love it and am going to try my best to win it. 😂
I love your deer peeking out! The quilt is beautiful! 😻
You are so brave and fearless as all are saying. You quilt is so much above most of the others in this series. I hope I can win yours! It's beautiful!!
Well poot! I didn't win you quilt.
I was worried there when I did not see one drop!!! Oh my love this quilt, love the deer and love super large hexies. I did Hexies larger than that and covered them all with salvage edges.
Thanks Dave for removing the “perceived” fear of Hexagon Quilts. This seems so achievable. It turned out beautiful ❤
I love the way you incorporated the deer! Wow!!!
So happy to see you participating in quiltmas this year!! And as always, an amazing creation!!
Beautiful work Dave it’s a Winner ! ! lots of hard work and thought went into this quilt, and LOVE .
Beautiful blue Hexxie quilt! And lots of the star fabric they said was a requirement. So glad you were able to participate this year.
I stress over every detail. I admire how you just go with the flow! I could take a page from your book. I love this quilt! Thanks so much for sharing. 😊
Love the deer among the snowflakes! You’re creativity is so inspiring.
Oh, look! It's the back of Dave's head!
Just kidding, Dave! Your y-seam instructions were visible enough for us to get it.
Thanks Dave- great video and quilt as always. I am a quilter and I always learn something from you. :)))))
Love it! So glad to see you in Quiltmas, I've watched every year.

Again, Dave, I love the quilt. You are skilled, fearless, and a zippy sewer! Love your blue hexies. Congrats on making 12 quilts status.
Love your hexie quilt! The snow and deer are perfect together. You are inspiring me to try a large hexie quilt! Thank you!
You produced an exceptional quilt - the best one of the series - quilt police !! who are they?? You are inspirational in your work, no fear, just go for it - we all need to be a bit more Dave 😂😂😂😂
So glad you are part of the Quiltmas this year. Love your quilt, you never cease to amaze me with your creativity.
Ditto 😊

Just amazing. Love what you have done. Looks fabulous.
Great job tackling the hexies! I love that you shared the planning and creativity of this quilt. Love it!

You are not just a quilter, you are an artist. You are so talented. Beautiful work!
This is my first time seeing your channel. You crack me up. Love your freelance style. Beautiful quilt.
K but that deer looks buff AF after being quilted LOL! Would have been super cute to add a red pom pom nose too
I definitely couldn’t say quiltmas 😂😂😂
Great job! Lovey quilt! You sure did put a ton of work into it!
Glad to see you enjoying the process. Very clever how you placed the deer in the hexies. Well done.
Dave you are so creative and entertaining!!!! Love this!!!!

He is great!
That is one phenomenal quilt, Dave 😻. Love it. Thank you for the video 😊. Happy Holidays ⛄
I gasped when you started stitching the deer panel into the hexies! You pulled it off. Why would I question your skill? 😊 beautiful work
What a gorgeous quilt. The hexagon pattern really makes the deer look jacked. The fabric is lovely. ❤
Absolutely stunning quilt! You jump in and managed to figure out how to do anything…Without panicking too much!😊
Love watching you create.
Love this quilt. Thanks for sharing. Sew much work ! Beautiful.
Dave, you are remarkable! What a project! Your creativity is fun to watch! Right now, Brenda from Conquering Mt. Scrapmore, on her RUclips channel, Y-seam Wednesday. She's very good. It's a challenge that I have to try. Great looking quilt, Dave! Marion in Oregon
Nice job. I love how you just adjust as you go. Happy Holidays.
The most unboring Hexies Quilt ever❤

This was amazing to watch you make a beautiful blue quilt and the deer coming right out of the hexies was genius thank you for sharing😊
I’ve been excited for your project since day 1 when Kristen announced you were participating this year! As always, a great, creative quilt. Thanks Dave!
The addition of that deer is just fabulous.
Amazing vision to create this out of 'scraps' and a panel! I'm so impressed - improv at it's best!
All I can say is just WOW!!! Beautiful
I adore winter and hexies! It's fun to see what you made!
Nice quilt! Love the deer and blue fabric.
Love your quilt. Looks awesome. Love your freestyle.
I really love what you did with the deer. I’m making a dragon themed quilt and have some dragon panels, you’ve inspired me!
Very creative! Beautiful quilt. ❤️
