Finally, a sew along video! I have waited and waited for this. I just love watching the process live. The little hints along the way are so helpful. Thanks for doing this, Fran. It gives me the confidence to try. I sincerely hope you will do more. You are a masterful quilter, and I really enjoy watching you work your magic.
I loved this video when it first came out and I have added some of Fran’s tips to my own sewing. I now have sent it on to a friend who has asked me to help her start quilting. This will give her a good idea of what is involved. More of these please!
Thank you so much for this and all your tutorials. I am very new to quilting and having a well organized work space is fantastic. You make it look so fun & easy. I try not to miss any of your tutorials. I am learning so much from you. I am sure this grandmother will never do a bed quilt. I will for sure do picnic mats, throws, mug rugs, table mats, toppers and placemats and many other smaller projects. Thanks for all your advice and ideas. ~m
Fran, I love that you showed everything to make a quilt. I am new to quilting and am getting ready to make my first quilt. I’d love to see more like this. Thank you so much.
You are a gem Fran, you are so patient and calm as you work through your pattern. Labeling bags writing on note cards with directions then putting the unit number it a smart idea. I learned the importance of chain piecing along with saving on thread. I have been sewing \quilting a few year's. I wear my Kermit the Frog shirt or dress while sewing cause I rip rip rip out a lot. I need to slow down. Thank you for sharing you video today. Most informative video I have watched from your shop. I have three 3 yard quilt books and made my first quilt from the book with the turquoise & purple quilt on the front. That's the Quilt I made. I sew at our cabin and crochet it home. I have donated to our local NICU since '07. Thank you Fran you've the best!🌼🌺🌼🌺
In all the times I have watched your channel this is the first time I have seen you sewing the quilt. I loved it. I like watching the quilt come together . It shows how easy it comes together and makes me want to do the quilt. Thanks. Hope there is more in the future.
Thank you for this video Fran! For me, as a beginner, it is SO helpful to watch you cut and sew, and also to learn from all of your valuable tips! Thank you again and please keep ‘em coming! 👍😊
Fran, Thanks for the Tutorial. I love seeing someone else make a quilt to see if I can pick up on some helpful hints. Please do some more tutorials. I would love to see one on half square triangles..
My next quilt is this pattern for my nephew who served in the Army. I loved your tutorial and watching you create it. I loved the hints, specially about leaving the salvage on until you combine your strips. Very handy hint.
Fran I love the process you showed throughout the video. I do everything you did except for a few extra organizing tips that I must start incorporating!! loved the patriotic, bouquet Christmas and floral quilts. It also showed us that any quilt you pick with the different fabrics will make a variety of themed quilts. I also love that I have that book. I will definitely have to make one of these quilts. I love sew a longs videos it’s so inspiring and so eye opening makes me want to sew. I have always made labels and I think I need to make the labels and reuse them for the next 3 yard quilt. I have some labels made but I’ll make the unit ones so I can add those to my already made labels for the pieces. Also I put the blocks/pieces in ziplocks so that everything is labeled and sorted. It makes it so much nicer to keep everything organized and ready to sew even I I can only sew for a short time. I like that by watching I should make a label for xtra fabric so I can keep it in case I make a mistake. Thank you for all the wonderful tips Fran.
Enjoyed the video. Fran, you should do more of these. Really enjoyed seeing that you drape your border strips around you neck too. I also do that when I am attaching the binding. Great job! Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful, Fran. Lots of great tips and tricks. I want that pattern and I will make it carefully, the way you have taught. I have watched it several times already.
I love your 3-yard quilt methods and this quilt specifically! Thanks for the great videos! I'm hoping to find some very beginner-friendly tutorial videos. I need basics to make sure I'm not missing something, lol.
Thank you so much for doing this video!! I find it really helpful to see a process❤ I so hope you keep doing these tutorials. The information/presentation was just right with heaps of helpful information. And I LOVE the floral fabrics you showcased, especially the first set❤❤❤
This is the pattern I have my eye on! I have the book! Thanks for doing that for me! Mine will have a large floral sugar skull for Focus 1 (black background). I have a piece with the black background with much smaller skulls for Fabric 2, and a pink will be the third fabric (background). For my granddaughter. Excited!
This was the first pattern I made a couple of years ago. For directional fabric I mostly use Bold Blocks, Suite times and Tic Tac. I had my charity quilt group watch this video to help them avoid most mistakes. Excellent video. Liked the clear explanation of chain piecing strips on the sides of blocks.
That was a really helpful video! Thank you, love to see more like that. It's brilliant seeing the same pattern in different styles of fabric, very inspiring!
I made almost that exact quilt, the blue was the exact same material, my first ever start to finish pieced quilt. Donated it to a fundraiser in my area. Your step-by-step instructions made cutting and piecing so easy. Thank you!
Enjoyed watching your process and watching you put it all together. I’d never seen the ‘economy’ binding you prepared for the ‘finishing touch’. Something I’d like to try. Thank you Fran😊♥️
Love the live demonstration Fran. The quilt is beautiful too. I have the pattern, but haven’t decided on fabric yet.. excited to make this one now I see it is easy enough. Thank you and hope to see more tutorials soon. 😊
Thanks Fran. I enjoyed watching you sew the entire quilt. Love the idea of bagging each section. The fabric you chose was beautiful. Such a bught, vibrant quilt. Thanks again.
This was a fabulous video. I loved watching the whole process. Your organization of the cut pieces and the blocks is something I plan to use when I make my next 3-yard quilt. Thanks, Fran. Please do more videos like this!
My friend and I made this quilt for our sick cousin a couple of week ago it turned out beautiful. Thanks for you great books. I have them all but the last one.
I learned a lot from watching you cut,that salvage tip looks easier than moving the a large piece of fabric around. Also using Best press when ironing seams, brilliant!! Thanks so much
Cool pattern! Thanks for the video showing how you assemble the top. It's always interesting to see different methods used by quilters and pick up a few tips!
Fran, I loved this patriotic video! Your instructions were great! I’d love to see more of them!

Hooray! Thanks for sharing, we are already planning another one!
Fran I loved the quilt top. It's a shame you aren't going to show the finished quilt on CZcams for those of us that aren't on social media.
Keep an eye on the CZcams "Shorts" tab. Thanks! Fran
This is my favorite episode! Can you do this more often?
Loved this tutorial! It was so helpful! Please do more sewing tutorials!
Loved seeing you do the sewing. It was just the right amount of talking. I have never seen binding done this way!
Glad you enjoyed it! Fran

Loved watching you make the quilt. I would love to watch you do that again. It really made it look easy
Fran, I just have to say, you have me fired up to get the book from my shelf and to get 3 yards of fabric from my stash to follow along.
I really enjoyed this segment. I hope that you do more like this using another great pattern.
That's the plan! Fran
Fun to watch you sew a quilt top! Great tips for baggies and labels. Thanks Fran!
