A Trip Around The World Quilt Using A Jelly Roll 😲😲😲

[@conniejenson6797]

I just can't imagine you doing anything else except giving tutorials. You have such a gift for communicating instructions. I've watched your video on this tutorial several several times so that I can get it in my head and do it as I'm seeing you do it and it just gets simpler for me because of the way you put it out there. So thank you so much you have the sweetest and I mean the sweetest personality. You're the type of person that I would love to have for my best friend😊. God bless you on all your endeavors!!!💖. I'm a 78 yr old lady;. Didn't want you to think you had a crazy 😮 person on your hand. Ha ha I'm Connie 😊

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Thank you so much Connie, this means a lot to me.

[@charlottesnyder8694]

When I was new to quilting in 2003, I made a Trip Around the World quilt in blacks for my teenage son. I didn't know much yet and I actually made that quilt by sewing 2.5 inch squares together. Now I want to make a rainbow Trip Around the World for my granddaughter, and this is going to be so much easier! Thanks.

[@joannefreeman3573]

I love your videos as you are calm and happy, which makes viewing so much better. You do a great job of teaching. Not everyone has this gift. Thank you so much.😊❤

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

You are so welcome, and thank you for your kind words. 😊❤

[@annarodriguez9868]

I have fabrics that I bought when my husband and I were traveling cross country from Los Angeles to Washington DC. Most of it are calico or ditsy prints that reminded me of my grandma's apronsc house dresses. Had planned to make placemats and such, but now I think I'll make a trip around the world quilt. Maybe I should call it trip around the US! 😉

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

I love that, it will be so beautiful.

[@DeirdreBryant-s4y]

Thank you for this tutorial. I had a spare jelly roll and guess what I'm sewing this afternoon. You inspired me. I made a Trip around the world 15 years ago ( my first quilt. I didnt' know about rotary cutters & mats so i ended up cutting each 2 1/2 " square with scissors and so my first quilt was born. I so appreciated your strip set technique .

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

YAY, can't wait to hear about it. So glad you were inspired.

[@patbowman6723]

Finally a trip around the world tutorial that I can understand. Thank you so much!!!! It always looked so complicated but it's not. I can't wait to start on my TATW quilt.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Yay, I am so happy Pat. I can't wait to hear what you do.

[@Copswife]

Right? This is the first tutorial I think I can actually follow!

[@deehatcher8713]

The cylinder makes me nervous.

[@donnaspindel7107]

I’ve never made a quilt yet… but watching you makes me feel like I can do it!!! 😊

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

You absolutely can Donna! Just go for it, you will love it.

[@jonikalinowski7112]

You can do it. My first 10 or so quilts, I cut all the pieces with scissors. I didn't really know anything about quilts. This was in the late 80s b4 internet, so I just started to drawer squares and triangles and used crayons to fill in the colors. My grandmother made many, so I had seen some of hers and drew from my memory. My first one was 1 6 inch block, then one 6-inch windmill block. I used old clothes and fabrics from making clothes since I was about 10. I still have my very first one. I put an old heavy wool blanket in it. I tied that one. Once I started to teach myself to hand quilt, most of mine I did that way. Don't be afraid. Just do it. If you have ever sewn anything, you can do this. If you have never sewn, you can do this. If you don't have a machine, you can put your blocks together by hand. 1 person I met years ago, never used a machine to make her quilts. Yikes .... Good luck. You CAN do this.

[@glendacrouch1877]

You are a doll! I love the way you explain the where, what and the why of the placement of making this pattern! Thank you so much!

It was my pleasure, thank you so much for sharing!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

I am so glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching.

[@cromssie]

Hi from the UK. I have watched surely 100 quilting jelly rolls videos and finally found first who mentioned the LENGTH of standard jelly roll strips. Everyone talks about standard jelly rolls and how many strips and width but really big thank you to you. I decided that I will keep watching, not going to internet searching. It’s nice things you are making, and I really like your way to explain what you are doing, keep watchers up to date and not assuming everyone is a pro.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Thank you so much for watching, I am so glad it was helpful! I appreciate your support.

[@teresavial5647]

Your tutorial gor this method is the best. Thanks so much.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

I’m so glad you found it helpful!

[@janiep99]

Girl, you are the cutest KZbinr! Love your personality. I can’t wait to try this quilt pattern. I’m saving your tutorial cause I’m going to follow your methods. Thank you!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

You are so so sweet. Thank you for making my day and welcome to my channel!!!

[@MalindaKinney]

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

You are so welcome!

[@karenraabis5296]

Beautiful fabric!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Thank you so very much Karen.

[@roxannelacey4793]

Thanks!

[@deewinston5651]

Thank you Christen. You are a great teacher. Even my old Mimaw brain could follow your instructions. I’m working now trying to add some borders to my second quilt. I pieced the top several months ago and i sure wish I hade watch your video on nesting seams. Oh well, my daughters tell me not to worry. These are your practice. Just learning quilting ar 73. I am learning. Thank you again.❤

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Thank you so much for your sweet words... I agree with your daughters. learning comes only by practice and pretty soon, you'll be making beautiful quilts and designing even more than you can make! If yo have any questions, feel free to reach out. I'm happy to help! 🥰🥰

[@janemason9215]

I love the bright happy colors you choose.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Happy to help!

[@ValerieBrown-le7ew]

Just want to say thank you for showing how to make this trip! I want to make a queen size for myself after Christmas. I am going to cut strips from my Stacy. I bet I get enough for the whole family to get their own quilts, 8. Great job! Happy THANKS GIVING!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

That’s awesome! I love the idea of making quilts for the whole family!

[@sheliaheverin8822]

I started pulling out my 2.5" scraps last night and if I need jelly rolls, I'll add some strips in. Going to shoot for a queen quilt.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Yay! I can't wait to hear all about it.

[@susanonealsmith8434]

Love this so much!! I've seen these quilts before, but never how to make them. Thank you for breaking it down into manageable steps. A trip around the world quilt is now added to my list!!🌎Thanks again for your cheerfulness and enthusiasm!!🩷

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

You are so sweet Susan. Thank you for watching and sharing it means so much.

[@conniejenson6797]

Your comments and information was so good and I appreciate that. I am a beginner and I understood what you were trying to get across. Thank you so much

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

I am so glad it helped.

[@chrislittebrant5235]

Thank you Christen, I Love the chaining affect. I enjoyed spending time with you today. 🥰👍 Chris

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

I am so glad you were able to watch and liked the quilt.

[@shaheensultan3476]

I m amazed with the way u explain in so detail. The best was the joining of strips to a loop n then cuttting n who u should to set the colour blocks to get that Trip Around The World. Thanks🎉 i m 72 yrs n now want to make Quilt for my grand daughters. Once again hats off to u my Lady.All the best

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

That is just so sweet of you. Your grand daughters will love it!!

[@pamelacasey1699]

Love your tutorial!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Thank you so much!

[@carolynbarnes8235]

Great , I wish I knew this when I made this quilt 20 years ago. Thank you for that tip.

[@alcoveoffice]

You are an excellent teacher! I have to admit, I think it's easier to sew when I've pressed the seams. But I actually enjoy ironing :) Thank you for the great tutorial!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

You are most welcome, and thank you for watching.

[@TiputinaKlava]

Спасибо ,очень интересный метод пошива.Первый раз вижу.Прекрасная идея.

[@ShoniDee-z1x]

I love the colors and your seam ripper. It's like magic.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Awe, thanks so much.

[@dianehuntley2493]

This is fantabulous!!! I took a couple of walmart jelly rollsvi had and combined them. A bit more repeat than I wanted but I love it❤ I figured out what makes sense to my brain to assure I put them together right. I plan on doing one with one good jelly roll. Very excited about this😊

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Well done. It sounds like you are ready to get it done!

[@galemckiddy5120]

Wow! I absolutely love this quilt and can't wait to try it. I have a beautiful Christmas jelly roll by Kaufman Fabrics that I will use. You inspired me; your enthusiasm is very motivating. So glad I found you on KZbin!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

That is so so sweet of you. Welcome, I am so glad you are here.

[@emmonstrex65]

Cool- ❤

[@betsyturner5828]

This was the most fun and easiest quilt that I ever made. I got sooo many compliments on it. I’m making another one.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

That is wonderful to hear Betsy!

[@joannehannan4485]

Thank you so much. I have purchased quite a few books to try and make a trip around the world quilt and just ended up very confused. Your tutorial makes it's seem so doable. Thank you again.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

You are so welcome! I hope you give it a try.

[@suzannejambon4736]

Your fabric choice is beautiful and your quilt came out gorgeous. I have watched several tutorials for this quilt pattern and yours is the first that I have seen, where the strips are cut in half. Thank you for the great tutorial and for inspiring others!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

You are so welcome Suzanne, I am so pleased you liked it.

[@sherrywilson44]

Wow, this was a great way to spend part of my evening! Your quilt turned out beautifully! I'm amazed at the different fabrics you chose to use in your borders, they pulled everything together so well in the end. Wish you could have seen me grinning. You are very entertaining, and I felt like I was sitting right there with you as you sewed. Thanks so much! I'm going to try this, it doesn't seem as hard as I thought it might be.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Thank you so much! I hope you have so much fun while you do it.

[@maryjaneellinger1783]

Love your quilt!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Thank you so much Mary!

[@m.e.u9912]

Watched this previously, now back to watch and actually make a quilt! I love watching your videos as they always are extremely helpful, and make me smile - you are so uplifting!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Yay, thank you! You are too kind.

[@chi2tan]

I like the fact you are open to try new things (let's not iron a single seam and see what happens). And, encouraging us to get out of our comfort zone ... if you've never pressed to the side - try it instead of pressing the seams open.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Thank you so much for sharing, and thank you for sharing that!!

[@BM-zt5bv]

You are the best teacher for a beginner I’ve ever watched! Thank you for your time and beautiful results.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Thanks so much 😊

[@jackiewilliamson374]

Love your video. My first quilt i made was a queen trip a round the world. My blocks started at 5 inches. I love seeing all the fabric come together and make something beautiful and useful.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

That is super adventurous for a first quilt! I bet it turned out gorgeous!!

[@nanigail395]

Loved this tutorial❣️I’ve been wanting to make this very quilt & using a jelly roll will be wonderful 😊

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

you are going to LOVE making it this way! It is such a fun project! 🥰🥰 enjoy!

[@reginabaillie2535]

Hi Christen, oh my god such a beautiful quilt, I always thought it would be to hard to make this quilt but you made it look so easy I always thought you had to so the little squares together but the way you showed us is a lot easier. I love the colours in your jelly roll and the colour in the borders makes it look so beautifulI ,think I’m going to give it a go. and thank you for the little hints along the way I always have trouble with my quarter inch .Thank you so much for showing us how to make this Beautiful quilt. 🌻❤️🌻

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Awe you are so sweet. I am so glad you liked it and will give it a try.❤️

[@2020pamb]

Hi Christen, I love watching your tutorials, because you are so open and frequently hilarious to watch and listen to! So I took a stab at the Jelly Roll Race quilt top as I showed everyone earlier today, but I really want to do this Trip Around the World quilt too. Hopefully, if I take my time and pay close enough attention I can do it! That whole idea is just near and dear to my heart, having been in the Army and being stationed in Germany (twice in the same place!), and so having Army brats for daughters. Then one of them married a sailor 25 years ago, and they raised 2 Navy brats, and have been stationed in Naples, Italy twice! Now their youngest son is in the Navy also, with soon to be be three little Navy brats of their own to raise! So I guess the I'm destined to make this quilt at least once!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Oh, you have to make it for sure now after sharing your story. It will mean so much!

[@2020pamb]

@@ISeeStarsQuilting I actually think I’ll have to make more than one! With all of those Army and Navy brats running around the world it’s possible that everyone will get their own version! I fact my other Army brat daughter married an Army veteran… My own version of the Neverending Story! It’s Destiny, right???

[@barbwaller4465]

Thank you all for your service. 🇺🇸

[@dianabarker3815]

This is gorgeous. This is definitely on my list to do. ❤

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

OH Yay! I can't wait to hear about yours. 😁

[@janeahrens572]

Awesome music! Thanks for a good show. I have done trip around the world in a similar fashion. I used 5”x4”squares that started life as 5” WOF strips, then I sub cut into 4” strips. I’m going to use a rogue jelly roll or a bunch of my fat quarters and cut my own 2-1/2” strips

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

That sounds great. I would love to hear how it goes.

[@robynjohnson5750]

Thank you for your lovely video.❤ I enjoyed your sweet enthusiasm and shortcuts. Enjoyed the part about not ironing till the end of the piecing process. Well done!

[@diannplatt-roberts8692]

WOW! What a great way to make a Trip Aron the World. I made one years ago but cut individual squares. No wonder i havent made one since. Thanks!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Maybe you can try again, I would love to hear if you do DiAnn.

[@cathynuytten798]

Now is see how this goes! It is similar to a bargello pattern. I actually made a bargello Halloween table runner last year. It turned out great but oh my heavens you definitely have to have your head in the game for sure. I should have done this pattern first. It’s larger pieces and you can see the pattern easier!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Nice work! You got this Cathy.

[@kathyflietstra7087]

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Thank you so much my friend!

I think it can be up to us how big we cut them.

[@darlenegreen6821]

i love this quilt❤

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Thank you for saying that.

[@MadNaduk]

I love a 'trip around the world' quilt. So easy to do with the strips, and I LOOOOVE your fabric choices. FYI - I actually press ALL my seams open. In everything. Never had a problem with lining up corners. For me, I find them just less bulky and never noticed any weakness of stitching - which I think is just a myth.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Yahoo! So glad you love them as well, and thank you so much for sharing!

What a clever method. Thank you.
