what about the seams? Did you do a miter or? If so how did you do the miter? Is a miter a neater look? Putting the boarders on is easy, seaming is not, can you show the seaming for miter?

Hi again - thanks for the series thus far. Being a beginner, and with all the fabric/color changes in the remaining videos, I don't know where to go next so I'll look for something else about putting the quilt together. Thanks again, and I'd just suggest that you add numbers in the titles to make it easier to follow along.

Hi - thus far the series is interesting, and I want to say thanks. However, I don't know where it goes from here. I agree that if these were numbered in the titles it would be a lot easier. Thanks for things thus far, and I'll just kind of start using hit-and-miss for the continuation.

I agree onegrams - it'd be easier if they were numbered - i also think its important to watch all of them before beginning because have you noticed that when she gets to the blue piece w/the stars she says you'll have 4 pieces - in cutting video she says to cut 3 strips ? ? ? And its never said how wide to cut bias strips or how to sew them together - it just skips to ironing the bias strip . . . for some of us who haven't quilted before this is a HUGE step missing!

I like these videos..I just wished there where numbered 1, 2, 3, so I would know which one was next...
