My English Paper Pieced Quilt Top is FINISHED! The papers are COMING OUT!

- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- I have been looking forward to this task for SO LONG! Taking out the papers I so laboriously stitched over the last couple of years was great fun, part of the fun was seeing all the papers I cut from The Beans Books I used to make the templates. Before anyone wonders why I chose the potentially collectors books, please know that I only used really damaged books from the charity shop that were destined for landfill. Recycling them like this has to be a very creative reuse I'm sure you'll agree!
I have narrowed down my choice of backing fabric too and will order it soon. Then I'll decide on wadding and stitching. So there will be many more videos about this quilt!
But I am going to miss the hand stitching of the hexagons and so I feel like I might design a new quilt to take the place of this one on my design board!
EDITED TO ADD!!
I am very bad at MATHS! always have been, so when I told you the number of hexagons I don't know where I got that number from?
Here are my stats
there are 50 rows of hexies, one row has 29 and the other has 28 hexagons.
So add 28 to 29 (57) and multiply by 25 (hall of 50) and the total should be
1425
not whatever I said.
I'm really sorry folks!
I thought there were a lot more that 753!!!!!

I got the maths wrong as I so often do - I calculated that there are really 1425 hexagons (or so) and not whatever I said at the end. Well done to everyone who paused the video and counted them! wow! I thought there were a lot more! Sorry guys - never trust my maths - ever! xxx
Oh Kate! I was only joking 😂😂 I'm so pleased you get to cuddle up with moms quilt, I'd be so disappointed if I made a beautiful quilt for someone and they didn't want to use it because it's too lovely and kept it in a draw, they need to be loved on the bed 💖😊
Wow, please share the over all size of the quilt before a border...curious.
Those who counted deserve a medal
😉 I had "guessedamated" 1350...
@@rosesbaker I guessed 1375 lol
For Agnes to have this quilt, which her Grandmother's hands have lovingly touched, is a great treasure for years to come. To think Grandmother's fingers have been over every inch. Grandmother's eyes seeing the pattern unfold, her thoughts when making the quilt; everything is a special gift.
My grandmother and great grandmother plus her sister quilted me a quilt they put away till I married I lived with my husband for 4 years before we finally tied the knot and Nan would not give me the quilt until the wedding.🤣😂🤣. I used the quilt, I didn’t let it just sit away somewhere as it had languished for about 12 years already. It’s now falling apart, beyond repairing , holes and just threadbare but it was loved and felt like a hug from these very loved and important women in my life. 🥰🙋🏼♀️
Oh yes!!! My grands take their quilts i made everywhere till momma said enough.
It truly is a treasure. My grandfather gave me a quilt my grandmother had started and all the loose patches after she passed. I was working to finish the quilt but lost everything when my home was burglarized 10 years ago. The burglar also took my hard drives and hundreds of $ worth of drawing and painting supplies... But it's loosing her quilt that still makes my heart ache.
@@jillipepper5353 that's so beautiful! I would try to sew it between a new quilt & it's backing, or make a throw pillow (or something similar) and use it as the filling just to keep the original quilt around for as long as possible. Just because it would be hard for me to let go of something made with all that love ❤️
@@Pickles-gu6dz that is a treasure beyond price. I was blessed with a nearly 100 year old quilt my paternal grandmother Hand stitched repairs were needed. It has a renewed life.
The quilt is treasure enough, but Agnes will also have all the beautiful film footage of her grandmother working on it, how wonderful is that.
Watching your video 2 years later…Agnes is a very lucky little girl to have a grandmother such as you❤
Someone gave me a great tip. She hole punches the middle of the paper piece so that when it comes to taking it out, she uses a small chop stick type device to just flip out the paper pieces. So quick n easy.
I think my favorite thing about you making this quilt for Agnes is that she will also have this, your videos of making it! She’ll be able to actually see you making it. What a gift! So glad to see you well! Take care!
That's nice and I really appreciate your comment. how's your day going Angie!!
I think this quilt can be considered to be a masterpiece.
It is amazing to watch someone create what could seriously be their magnum opus
Precisely!
I have my first 200 hexies completed and I am HOOKED....
Agree!!! Spectacular
I’ve never been so excited about paper being removed 😀 You are a wonderful grandma, little Agnes is blessed to have you, as are we all 🤗💚
This is beautiful. It makes me think of a Monet painting. So much beautiful work!
Kate, two years in coming.....fabulous labor of true love for little Missy Agnes.....beautiful hexi quilt for many years of cuddles! Thanks for sharing this heart warming project. Blessings.
I just love the colors!! So beautiful 😍 Agnes is a lucky girl to have a Grandma such as you.
Hi Cate! I so love watching your channel out here on Vancouver Island. The quilt for Agnes is absolutely beautiful...reminds me of a Monet Waterlily painting.
That's what I thought. So beautiful.
Hi Karen! I live in the Fraser Valley.
@@KelleysQuiltsandCruises Hello Kelley. Too bad we don't live closer...Sayward is on the north part of Vancouver Island, a semi remote village where I am able to work on my art projects, painting and fabric arts, in a studio I built several years ago. I am a retired commercial artist and also showed paintings in many shows and taught for a few years at university level. My eyesight began to fail about four years ago so now I work on small embroidery designs (for small bags) using a magnifying light. At least I can continue to work with my hands and be creative.
HI Karen - I live on Vancouver island also - in Saanich (Victoria). Cate's EPP quilt is beyond stunning. The colors and movement are so deeply beautiful.
A Monet-like quilt for Agnes! Lovely! She will cherish it her whole life🥰
Kate, use the silk! This is a gorgeous family heirloom in the making ... Even more important than Liberty! Your quilt deserves the best.
AGREED!
The best for Agnes 😊 🌼
Wow!! All that work. It is totally beautiful. It shimmers.
What a labor of love. Agnes is a very lucky and special girl to receive this quilt. It will be a treasure for her for a life time.
Absolutely stunning Kate. It’s been such a joy to come along on this journey with you. Can’t wait for the next instalment xx
Kate, it is such a spectacular quilt!! What a treasure for Agnes 💕🪡🧵
All my favourite colours -how beautiful! 💚💙💜
So beautiful - like watery stunning droplets - WOW!
The movement of color around this quilt is absolutely dreamy, like swimming in a sun-dappled lagoon. Honestly it belongs in a museum but I'm glad it'll be put to use and loved. I'm sad to see the scalloped edges go, but excited to see where your artistic vision takes the project.
Beautifully put - glorious, isn't it?
Supremely so, @@221b-Maker-Street!
Kate I enjoyed this video as I do all of them, but this one in particular, tugged at my heart. I am a quilter but even if I wasn't, I would realize how special this quilt is. When a quilter gifts a bed quilt, especially one that they hand stitched, they are giving more than a collection of fabric sewn into a blanket. Every quilt has a story to tell and a piece of the maker goes with it. It is the most beautiful feeling to experience. Agnes will be enchanted to sleep and dream under the colours of her grandmother's love. From your hands to her heart. Memories never forgotten. ❤️
Beautifully put.
I am so enjoying watching your deconstructing of the lovely hex's. Your commentary is great as the job at hand. I would like to say at this point of Agnes's quilt that this is the piece de resistance of all quilt tops. I now look forward to seeing the next stage. Thank you so much Kate, you fill my heart with love and joy. From Auckland New Zealand.
Wow!!! That is art. Absolutely stunning.
Agnes's quilt is truly a work of art! And made by the loving hands of her grandmother makes it priceless.
What a labor of love and joy this is. I thoroughly enjoyed watching all of the videos about Agnes’ quilt and I look forward to continuing this journey with you. I spent a fun afternoon with my 96 year old mother today. I took my iPad with me and played one of the videos about Norma. Then I read your book about Norma to my mother. Her vision is really bad and she can’t see to stitch anymore so I thought this would be something enjoyable and different for her. She really did enjoy seeing the video and the reading of Norma’s story. Thank you so much for sharing your life with all of us.
Hi.. Pam
Love your videos simple to understand thanks,enjoy your life.
This is the first time I have watched....this is so cozy and welcoming....thank you
Such a beautiful work of love. The colors are beautifully blended... a treasure!❤️❤️❤️❤️
That's nice of you Nancy and how's day going!!
Oh my goodness, this quilt is absolutely exquisite! You are amazing
Trop beau, et c'est pas assez pour d'écrire ce beau travail. Quelle patience. Franchement quoi vous dire? Bravo à vous et merci. 👍👏👏👏👏💝🌺
A labour of love and art...what a treasure this will be to Agnes. I picture Agnes on top of it with her little fingers traveling to wherever the colors take her.
What an absolute labor of love. Agnes and her parents will cherish this spectacular quilt. I love listening to you taking the papers out and just chatting
That's nice of you and how is your day going!!
I have so much enjoyed your video. Especially the hexies. I just love them and Angness quilt is beautiful.
Somehow you fell off my list of subscribed you tube channels to watch, and I have been binge watching today. I have missed your calm quiet ways, was good to catch up with you Kate! Agnus's quilt is gorgeous! I knit, so I understand all the love and time you spent making this quilt. PS I guessed 1000 paper pieces.
Kate , It’s so beautiful looked like a river of colour laying across your table, I have watched you make this quilt from the beginning and Agnes is a very lucky little girl to be able to swim under this while she floats along in her dreams.
I was further off I knew it had to be at least more than 500 hexagon but over 700 wow the work you have put into this has been worth every minute xo
This stunning quilt is truly priceless, given the many stages, the amount of work, the love for a granddaughter that has gone into it...what an heirloom. What a precious reminder for Agnes as she grows up. I never even knew this was a thing, even an elderly woman like me can learn and love something new. Thank you, Kate and cats from Kaye and cats, in Australia.
Love your videos and you, Kate! lots of info and fun with you, always- it’s experience when i come to see and feel involved, like i am standing and watching like you are talking to me! - its a great day, every day and i look forward to you! on the Lime Sofa every day! Thank you! Sandi Myer🥰
Love the title of your channel. xoxo. I don't have the patience for quilting but I do have great admiration for those who do!
I have loved watching this journey of Agnes's quilt.. I will admit that I will miss seeing it on the design board. So exciting to see it come together. Simply stunning!! ❤
Kate, the quilt is brilliant!!! What a lucky granddaughter Agnes is!! Congratulations on arriving to such a long-awaited day. Good thing there was so much pleasure in the doing. And thank you for bringing me along. The videos provide so much inspiration and relaxation!!
It is absolutely stunning…what a wonderful labor of love 🥰
Hi! Your channel came up in my feed. I so much enjoyed this video! It was a treat to see art in motion - my Gah you are blessed with talent!
visiting with you Kate is like having my mum back. I'm so glad I found you 💗💚
that makes me really happy xxx thank you
Kate I sound like a broken record but this quilt is one of the most gorgeous quilts ever I've seen. Its stunning. So very well done Kate.
The quilt top is fabulous and beautiful. I do think the papers would make some great art projects, collages, or textures also.
Even the threads. Love your work.
Absolutely gorgeous. I bet your home is intriguing and very pretty. What a talent.
There's just so much love in this quilt. You can feel it in every thread.❤
What a journey it's becoming, this beautiful quilt. It has been such a privilege to watch you work on it. The goofy cat interlude brightened my day too. Love to all.
That's so nice of you Jane. How's day going!!
Love,love,love the colours and all the work that went into this work of love.💕💕💕
This is so amazing! I have never heard about these technique before. I love it! So slow and calming. You do a great job. Thanks for sharing it.
Your quilts are beautiful but this one is absolutely AMAZING!! Your grandaughter is lucky to have you.
Agnes's quilt is gorgeous. What a sweet and special treasure for her to enjoy when she visits. 💚
Was für ein toller Quilt, liebe Grüße aus Plön in Deutschland. Kate du bist super.
Wow! So many pieces! And the colors! Fantastic!💕💕💕
What a beautiful quilt. You did a beautiful job, Kate. Looking out for the next part creating this one. Thank you for sharing and the inspiration.
Oh Kate, this quilt takes my breath away. How lucky Agnes is to have a grandma who loves her so much. I can’t wait to see the completed quilt ! Thank you for taking us on this journey. ❤️
That's nice and how's your day going!!
I am so happy to have discovered your channel and your remarkable work. Thank you.
So beautiful! Can’t wait to see the quilting and finished quilt.
Yay,papers out. Progress is made. I vote a thin wadding.. can’t wait to see backing material for MONET’s Garden quilt as I call it.
Agnes is going to love it and it’s back story.😻
yes - I'm leaning towards thin and drapey too xxx
Monet's Garden - I like that! It fits!
When Agnes is old enough to appreciate all the time and care that went into her quilt she can watch the videos of its creation.
That's so nice of you and how is your day going!!
Greate respect for your amazing Art and design. The coulers are wounderful.
I absolutely love the piece of music which accompanied this video..beautiful xx
It’s just beautiful Kate…I’m looking forward to seeing the coming videos on the finishing especially the quilting . You inspired me to start a Hexie quilt but it’s only a cot sized …It’s a eye spy themed and I can’t believe how obsessed I become hunting out appropriate fabric 😂.I’m making it for a grand baby yet to be made and born for my youngest daughter because sadly I might not be around when that happens due to major health problems. So thank you Kate for inspiring and teaching me ….I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the process and I’ve left instructions for my daughter to watch your videos just encase I don’t get to finish it.💐
😿that is a terribly sad thing. I hope you will be okay, whatever that really means to you. Oh, my heart 😭
Oh, Kate, I wish I could have those threads for my artwork! By the way, I have finished the piecing of my English paper pieced quilt for my daughter, and have chosen the way to do the edge (I made a border of "facing octagons" and will sew them along to be the very edge of the quilt). I took out the papers as I went, but don't worry, there's no chance that any of the stitching is going to be pulled or weakened. I took your teaching seriously and was super careful and especially at any corner that met another corner! So we will be likely quilting together from our different countries. I can't thank you enough for the kind instruction you provided to all of us so we could enjoy this wonderful British skill.
What a magnificent quilt. You should show it. Can't wait to see the end result 💕🧵
Such a beautiful stitched with so much love, a treasure 🌼🌸🌼 loved the cat incident 😁
You go girl! I know when I do projects people are like "OMG how do you do that! It must take so long! So much patience!" but for me, I enjoy every stitch and when a project is completed, I feel so accomplished! I do intricate crochet and full coverage crosstitch portraits (100,000 + stitches). But I'm looking at your work the same way people look at my work. Good Job!
Kate that's a one Beautiful Quilt top. Agnes is going to love it. It's going to be one Beautiful Quilt when done. . It's going to be warm it looks like. Love it. Love of love for you guys are so much fun to watch. You and Anna together ❤️ you all. Happy Sunday afternoon.
That's so nice of you and how is your day going Brenda!!
I am so glad to seeyou again. Glad to see you are feeling better. I have missed you. Love from South Carolina.
I have so enjoyed this! It's a beautiful gift for your granddaughter. 812 not even close.
This is my first time finding your page. That quilt is a work of art. Amazingly beautiful!
How beautiful! I loved watching Agnes’ quilt grow over the past couple years. Love to all; many thanks for sharing!
That's so nice of you and I appreciate your comment. How's your day going!!
Oh my, I would never have the time nor patience to do the paper piecing method. Your top is a beautiful combination of colors. Reminds me of a watercolor!,
Just finding your channel today... How is that possible?! Your work is right up my alley. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. The quilt is beautiful.
Agness is a lucky little girl, to have a grandma like you. She'll never forget that you made this for her. Nice also to have a record of you making it. It is so beautiful. Looks like a garden of hydrangeas. Ooops, kitty. Careful. Love the look on kitty's face. But true to a cat, she recovered and righted herself perfectly. Love seeing your video alerts. So lovely. Thank you for letting us in on all your secrets.
WOW! What amazing quilt. Give yourselves a big hug and many hugs from me in Canada. I so much enjoy your visits .
Well ! I counted and I was way off, 1500 was my guess. 😂
Reminds me so much of a Monet garden. So beautiful!!!!! thank you
I just found you today! Oh my gosh I am so excited to watch ALL your videos! Your home is beautiful~ This quilt is gorgeous, you must be extremely patient and disciplined!!
Absolutely beautiful quilt top. I am just starting one myself. It’s a soul soothing project. ❤️
I picture Agnes playing “what is my favorite fabric “ as she uses this quilt throughout her life. You are not only an artist, but incredibly patient and detail oriented.
That's nice of you and how is your day going!!
Your quilt top is beautiful and i admire your skill and patience, thank you for making these videos i do so enjoy watching them. x
This is spectacular!!! I love the colors and your determination 😘
So beautiful! I love watching all your videos.
It’s so beautiful! Can’t wait to see the backing all together quilted.
Wow! I had guessed 953! Off by a couple hundred, but the last two numbers right! It is gorgeous Kate!! Such a beautiful work of art!
Hi it’s Marian this is my de stressing video I just sit and watch it’s very relaxing also I’m learning without trying
It is a really fabulous quilt, stitched with love and I'm sure it will be treasured for years. There is something satisfying about taking the papers out-- the home stretch has been reached. Agnes is a very lucky little girl.
Labour's of love. What a beautifull heirloom for your granddaughter.
I like the idea of how you will finish the edges.
That's so nice of you and how is your day going!!!
Wow! And wow! First time seeing quilts , magnificent hands at work ! The Color’s are a beautiful pond of 753 Lili pads. This is what i see , i apologize if its another picture that you have created. Looking at it, i heard the frogs songs between the flesh air blowing and the sun shining on my face under the fig tree , reading my bible! Your devotion for this projects is beyond anything i have ever made by hands. Beautiful , gorgeous and thank you for sharing the process . ❤️
Breathtaking!
Oh my. How fabulous is that going to be
Thank you for this you have made how to deal with the edges so simple.
Wow that's awesome and how is your day going?
I have watched this come together. It is beautiful breathtaking
Ohhh...I love the analogous color scheme! Well done!
I have a hex quilt my grandmother did in the 30s. This makes me think of her.
It's so beautifully timeless.
Love this quilt, such a labour of love, and I’m sure it will be cherished for many many years. X
Yeah that's so nice of you and I really appreciate your comment. How is your day going!!
Wow. I am brand new. I adore this and need to binge this weekend.
Wow. That is an incredible quilt. What lovely colors!
I love this quilt! Similar somewhat to the yo-yo quilt I’m making. I guessed about 1017 because so far that’s the amount of yo-yo’s I have. I’m in the process of sewing them together. Thanks for letting me watch. I love your videos!
That's so nice of you, and how is your day going!!
