It's Q&A time here at Quilters Heaven! 🧵 In episode 215, I'm answering as many of your great questions as I can — from one block wonder math and quilt kits, to my go-to charity quilt pattern, ruler-slipping fixes, and yes... my "worst quilting horror story"
(spoiler: water-soluble thread was involved 😅).
In this episode we cover:
✅ Can you make a one block wonder with 7 identical panels?
✅ When does it make sense to buy a quilt kit vs. picking your own fabric?
✅ My honest take on why I don't push you to buy every fabric in the shop
✅ My favorite scrappy charity quilt pattern (and why it's so fast!)
✅ Tips for keeping your ruler from slipping while cutting
✅ My favorite non-scrappy, strip-pieced quilt patterns
✅ How I got into quilting and why I opened Quilters Heaven
✅ Batting alternatives, and the best batting for a light summer quilt
✅ My "worst" quilting horror story (everything can be fixed!)
Didn't get your question answered? Drop it in the comments and I'll cover more in
a future Q&A!
I'll see you back on our regular schedule soon. Until then — happy sewing! 🪡
