FAST & Amazing Jelly Roll Quilt. Part 1 Beginner Friendly

[@Glyn-s3b]

At last!Someone who is realistic and admits to making mistakes. I’m a beginner and your tips are so helpful. Thanks from Willyaroo South Australia.

[@barbarajohnson1572]

Always nice to listen to someone who is REAL... we all slip and improvise... more people need to be OK with being human and getting creative.. TY for being YOU!

[@70acres]

Only God is perfect. And I find I learn a lot from my mistakes. That's why I leave them in! Thanks for watching, Barbara!🥰

[@lisaseverdoodles466]

Baja ha ha… “Me and Math do not get along”… Grammar and me are a bit iffy too. 😂 Love you, girl!

[@catherinevalder-hogg2847]

This is a fab and honest tutorial. I am making a jelly roll quilt for my grandson in NZ and one for my grandaughter in Tasmania. I'm visiting them after Christmas and so starting now. Many, many thanks. God bless you xx

[@lucynellessen4499]

Absolutely gorgeous❣️

[@chrisdavis8139]

I love your video and I especially love that you mentioned the Lord! God bless you for sharing!

The Lord is my best friend and constant companion. Hubby works full time in NY so most of the time and is just me and Jesus on this mountain. Thanks for watching, Chris! God bless!🥰✝️

I love this! It’s beautiful and so smart!

[@marionbarber984]

March 15, 2024. Wow! What a beautiful quilt! I've been trying to figure out what to do with this one jelly roll I have. I won it at my quilt guild's 2022 Christmas party. Thank you Melissa! Marion in Oregon. Beautiful spring day here.

[@70acres]

Hi Marion. Apologies for not responding sooner. I'm dealing with some unpleasant health issues and I've been out of sorts the entire month. Thank you so much for watching my videos! I'm glad Spring has started for you. It started here but has stalled a bit. Today its only in the 40s.

[@KathyEasley-qz5bo]

Thank you for not being afraid to share your faith in your videos (Chosen shirt, 3crosses in corner, mentioning our Lord!) I love watching you & enjoy your sense of humor! 🙌

[@70acres]

Thank you so much for your sweet comment, Kathy! I'm glad you enjoy my videos. I am a bit of a class clown and I am proud to be a rebel, like Jesus! God bless! 🥰✝️

[@kimsummers9420]

This is the prettiest jelly roll quill I’ve ever seen!

[@70acres]

It did come out pretty! Thanks for watching, Kim!

[@lindaannesmith9578]

I just LOVE quilters who admit to making the same mistakes the rest of us do and can find humor along the way. If we can't laugh at ourselves now and then......... Thanks for this really good video. Sewing the strips AND matching the sewing lines without doing it frantically or as though you have OCD was SO refreshing! Perfection is overrated; to err is human. From one imperfect human to another - I frequently crack myself up! The colors in that jelly roll are gorgeous! I think I must have watched hundreds of quilting videos, but you can ALWAYS learn something new along the way. Quilting provides calm and keeps me sane. Well,.......IMHO, anyway. Linda

[@quilting7595]

Love these colors together! Love your honesty! Refreshing! ✌️❤️

[@70acres]

I'm glad you liked my video! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

[@nancyholich3199]

Thank you for being real with sharing your not so perfect and sharing your mistakes with cutting because that happens to me too. I’m going to get a weight like you have for my ruler. I’m so glad I found you 😊

[@teresasteinhoff2314]

This is such a beautiful quilt, you are so talented! Thank you for sharing and taking the time to make this video. Thank you for mentioning the Lord. He is the best! I love how you are real and you didn’t edit out your mistakes. I am a beginner, and I can respect mistakes! Lol!

[@70acres]

The only perfect being is God. I am a very flawed individual and I can't be fake about that. I'm so happy my video helped you, especially as you are a beginner. I've been quilting since the 70s and I'm still a beginner too! Thanks for watching, Teresa!

Sue at Revelation Quilts is a GREAT quilter. She does like to come up with patterns. Just like Cathy at The Catbird Quilts, Sue is into the "math-ee-ness" of patterns. I myself was terrible at math. I like it when the pattern is in the description and I can copy and study it.

[@abibritton8791]

I have my mother's old Singer sewing machine that she made clothes for all five kids with, that she taught me and my two sisters and my brother to sew on. That she made her own clothes (she loved Vogue and Butterick patterns). Also, my sister's wedding dress, and a ball gown of green silk , taffeta and and overlay of lace to wear to the general's ball in Colorado Springs in 1958 where my father's taught at the Air Force Academy. You have the same machine, whata joy to see it! And now I'm going to make this quilt on it😅

I'm so glad my video gave you such a happy memory! This was a fun project. Thanks for watching, Abi!

[@kholbrook203]

Thank you so much for showing how to make an easy quilt out of the Jelly Rolls. I had bought two different ones a couple years ago and they are still sitting. Now I know exactly what I will be making, thanks to you. I haven’t watched part 2 yet but I hope it covers the batting & backing along with the binding. I am not an experienced quilter at all. The binding gave me the most trouble. I am Blessed to have found your channel. I am going to the videos where I saw Jesus’s name so I can watch one. Thank you and have a blessed day. Karen

[@70acres]

Oh Karen, I don't touch on the binding in Part 2 because I have a pile of around 40 quilt tops that need quilting. My body limits what I can do and I don't have a setup conducive to machine quilting at the moment. My Bernina sits too high on the table and it stresses out my neck so fast. I do have videos where I do batting and bindings so you can watch those. I will try to get to quilting as soon as I get a table that works for me. I'm eyeing a sit down long arm but it isn't in the budget for now so the pile of tops grows. Thank you for your comment and for watching. God bless!

[@josiecalligaro5147]

[@sheilacarroll7143]

Love your channel! Thank you for sharing. 😊🌹🍁 Maybe you could try measuring and cutting from the other side of the ruler to help prevent the swerve as you approach the end of the fabric. I think that happens a lot when a person cuts on the left side of the ruler. I think it happens a lot less often when cutting on the right side of the ruler. ...I hope what I'm saying makes sense...lol 😊 Have a blessed day! 💗🙏🙏🙏💗

[@70acres]

I will try that. Thanks, Sheila! Thank you for watching! 🥰🌺🌷✝
