Sam Wilde Made this Fabric - I Made this QUILT!

Sam Wilde is a new designer for Free Spirit fabrics and I was fortunate to receive his new collection - Florescence to work with. I have wanted to make an optical illusion quilt for ages and this seemed like the perfect opportunity! Don't you just love how it came together? as promised, I will list the sizes at the end of this description.

It really is the support from my lovely Patrons that allows me to keep this show on the road and I am very grateful to each one of you!
You can join them there for the price of a coffee or a craft magazine and watch the content back to the start of 2019! Look in the feature 'Collections' to find what you are looking for!

Over on my website you will find much more! Here you can shop for some of the things I use in my craft room at The Last Homely House and sign up for the monthly newsletter.

The music in this video was chosen from Epidemic Sound and is called Seventh Garden and Remove the Complexities.

There is always so much going on here and there is more behind the scenes over on Instagram - kateatthelasthomelyhouse.

Thank you so much for watching!

Love

The measurements I used
the 'feature' squares are 5"
the 'shadow' fabric is 1.5" wide and 5.5" long - this will need trimming a little when you sew each one to the square,
The little offset pieces are 1" x 1.5"
make sure you get the shadow layout opposite each other.
The sashing I used was 2" wide.
Have a play with the layout and alter the sizes to suit yourself
Enjoy

Kate i want to thank you for being such a kind person. My son killed himself 2 years ago. I have been with you for years. And when my heart is breaking i sit down and watch you. With tears rolling down my face your wonderful personality always helps me get out of my heartbreak and into my hands. I have made more quilts with you in the last 2 years than ever. I give them all away. Thank you again for giving me a place on your lime green sofa.

When you become a quilter, all those times we said ‘we will never use algebra in our real lives’, it comes back to haunt us.

Really a perfect choice for the fabrics!!! You are a joy to watch in your creative process… thanks for being here ❤

❤ hello Ms Kate ! My mother who’s turning 88 tomorrow, came across your channel about a month ago and she’s been watching you daily for hours. You have encouraged her to want to make another quilt, she hasn’t made one in years. She calls me to her room all through the day to show me what you’re doing and what supplies and fabrics you’re using ❤. Thanks for sharing your life! You’ve uplifted my mom; she’s been a little sad because she can’t move around like she’d like but she’s inspired now and I’m looking for supplies, tables, and fabrics for her. Lol 😊 please continue your work. My moms name is Lula. She’s still understanding how to like your videos; I try to catch her on some of them. We thank you again for sharing your expertise and beautiful work. ❤ Have a wonderful day 🎉

I think the designer of the fabric will appreciate how you have used this material. It’s going to be an awesome quilt.

The optical illusion quilt is the perfect choice for the lovely bold fabric. The black shadows make the colours and patterns sing!

My husband was my maths genius, I’d go running to him, show him what I had and what I wanted to end up with, and he would figure it out. He was also good at drawing my project out for me. I lost my dear husband 3 years ago after 48 years together. I still ask him for help, and eventually we figure it out . Your quilt is amazing, thank you.

I dont make quilts, my mother does. She is mathematically challenged as well. So i do all her calculations and drawings for her. I even make her templates.

Kate, you are doing amazing!! It must be this left and right brain thing because you are so creative! A true artisit!

Thank you for channel!

You won't fall asleep while you are making that quilt. The colours seem to pop right off the fabric. Such a happy quilt that will make.

So much pleasure watching you work on your beautiful quilt and "visiting" you and your lovely home! Thank you, Kate, for the wonderful visit!

[madonnareardon]

Love your work. At 73 I decided to make my 9 grandchildren a quilt in 9 months just by watching you. Thank you

[HazelSmith-yl]

Kate, it's a wonderful quilt. Sitting on the lime green sofa with all your YouTube friends, having a chat and a biscuit. I love watching your videos, always look forward to Sundays to share some time with you. ❤

[joanbaughman]

I dearly love watching your videos. I also appreciate that you admit troubles as it makes me feel better knowing its not just me. Please keep the videos coming.

Pure genius, Kate! Thanks for processing in real time. So many of us struggle in the same areas.... and turn out beautiful results.

[suelaughton]

That is a pattern that every time I see it done, I think, "I want to do that one too!". Yours came out lovely with those fabrics Kate. I was thinking that maybe I could do one with a square from each of the fabrics in my stash. Well, maybe not from ALL the fabrics - that might well cover my whole town! LOL Thanks for sharing with us Kate.

Kate, I loved this illusion quilt. I showed it to my four daughters and some of my grandchildren. I am now working on the sixth illusion quilt with the seventh waiting in the wings. Thank you so much for your inspiration.

[zormier]

I personally have never seen anyone use this method Kate. I think all your quilts are darling just the same as you! Your DIL is very fortunate to have you. My MIL and I get along fabulously so I love when other people do as well.

I am the queen of not having quite enough fabric to finish a project! I feel for you!! ☺️
