Brilliant, Lora! I think you are making unique videos here and the wonderful Lori Holt should be impressed too! I’m making mine with different fabrics and don’t have a kit but after watching this I am going to match up my substitutes and then do the cutting as you suggest. X
We have a 1971 MGB that we take to shows. The shirt is from one of the local events we have supported the past several years. Definitely a worthy cause. :)
Lora, you are so organized. Thank you so much for doing this video. Now I have a game planning with all the quilts I've purchased and been scared to start. I probably have at least 4 of her applique quilts I haven't started. I've done pieced but applique, I've only started one and that was over 2 years ago, still haven't finished it (Flea Market Flowers). I'm ready to move forward with that one and complete the others!
Thank you sew much for sharing your system with us, I know that your efforts will definitely help me!!! You are outstanding and your videos are all great! 🎉❤
Great information. I just started to watch your channel. I don’t do a lot of quilting. Maybe you will inspire me. But I do cross stitch a lot. Happy quilting and stitching!!
Ah ! I love your tips on organizing before starting the LH projects :) I cut my interfacing the same size as the fabric, then I trace though... but everything else works for me ! I love this video !
I just loved your video Lora. You answered every query and more for my first appliqué project. I adore getting organised and now I need your project boxes. If only we had Target here in France! Or even a quilt shop nearer than a 90 min drive for one quarter size of US. Thank goodness for Amazon .enjoy your QA with Lori . I’ll be with you both! Sadly not doing the quilt but an easier one to begin with. Famous last words!
Hmmm... I'm not sure where I'd suggest. Amazon has them, though. We R Memory Keepers We R Craft & Photo Translucent Plastic Storage-12 x12 Case amzn.eu/d/3XUO5iv
So glad I found your videos. I have two of Lori Holt's quilts. One is almost done (Autumn Love) and the other (PRIM) I have one block completed. I will be using your tips to help keep me better organized on PRIM. Thank you!
I am so glad I came across your CZcams video. I have completed some Lori Holt quilts (pieced and also sew simple shapes), she is a favorite of mine. I should pick up my kit for Hometown in about a week and this will be the first time I have used a kit. Your tips will be useful and I love to be organized. Where did you find your project boxes? Also, did I understand correctly they are 12 inches?
You are so welcome! I'm so glad it helped. I get my boxes at Michael's or joann's. Their pricing and coupons make them very affordable. I think they're like 13x13. Typically in storage or scrapbook area
Thank you for such an informative video. I'm getting ready to start my Bee Vintage Quilt. I love the process you use and your tips. I will definitely be using your process. 😊 I really like how you keep the templates on the ring. I'm forever shuffling through them, searching for the one I need. Thanks again! So inspirational!
I am getting ready to make my first Lori Holt appliqué quilt and was wondering how to organize all those pieces. Thank you!! Question: do you starch your fabric? Thanks!☺️
It's a Quilters Select. I love it, but it does take a little to get used to. It's heavier and the added weight helps stabilize and cut through lots of layers. :) Thanks for watching.
I have a question. When you decide to make a Lori holt quilt do you just need to buy the fat quarter bundle? Or do you also need to buy other fabrics along with that?
It depends on the quilt. Riley Blake releases a cutting guide to shops that tell them how much of each fabric you need. I have used a fat quarter bundle for a starting place with a couple, but for borders and backgrounds you need yardage. If you want your quilt to look just like hers, the easiest would be to purchase a kit through a shop. You can also use stash fabrics, but you would want to consult the guide to figure out how much you need.
This prep work is awesome...thank you❤
Glad you like it!
These applique is prep work great thank you
Great to hear!
Very helpful, thank you so much. ❤
You're so welcome!
Thanks very helpful. Just getting started on Lori Holt quilts. Your tips were great. Will apply them once I get my Amazon box.
Glad it was helpful!
You inspired me to stop everything else and do your prep work.
That is so flattering! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. I wish you the best of luck in prepping!

Great tips & ideas. Love your "cruisin' to fight cancer" shirt! ❤
Wonderful! That's great. I have completed a couple quilts with stash fabrics and still precut. It's worth it, in my opinion

Very good tips and organization ideas. I have several of her kits that I haven't done yet. Maybe nervous about starting. This helps.
Good luck!
Excellent video. This helps so much. Thank you. 💕

You are so welcome
I am getting ready to make my first Lori Holt appliqué quilt and was wondering how to organize all those pieces. Thank you!! Question: do you starch your fabric? Thanks!☺️
I do not prewash or starch my fabrics. I will spray the block with best press when giving a final press before cutting to size
Which quilt are you making?
Could you share what kind of rotary cutter you use? Love the video.
It's a Quilters Select. I love it, but it does take a little to get used to. It's heavier and the added weight helps stabilize and cut through lots of layers. :) Thanks for watching.
Do you know where she got that wooden holder from? It’s looks amazing!
The wooden stand with my scissors? Oh, yes. I know where she got it. I sent her the link. HA! It is handcrafted www.etsy.com/shop/DanieleshopCraft
Happy 4th 🇺🇸
What interfacing do you use?
Pellon 30. Thanks for watching

Do you trace the simple shapes right away
It is one of the first things i do. I trace my shapes before cutting fabric
