I think it is gorgeous also. I went to Jordan Fabrics to check and, as I thought, this is one of Matt Jordan's amazing Hand-Cuts. Donna is such a great instructor and Matt has the most fabulous eye for color combining. I have heard Donna say that purple and green combinations are a favorite for her. Me, too! Matt is also fabulously accurate in his cutting. This Log Cabin quilt, not including any borders or backing, is made from two (2) of the Pre-Cut 12 Block Log Cabin Quilt Kits called Garden Gathering. I can highly recommend Matt's Pre-cut kits because they are wonderful and really fast to sew. Here is a link to the kit - jordanfabrics.com/collections/matts-hand-cuts/products/hoffman-batiks-pre-cut-12-block-log-cabin-quilt-kit-garden-gathering

Striped fabrics make a really neat binding, especially when it’s on the bias and wraps around the quilt like a candy cane. Also, with a bit of planning and careful and precise cutting, they make nice square in square and flying geese units. They can also make nice (and quick) mitered borders. It usually requires extra yardage for all these purposes (which is why she often sets them aside from precut bundles), but it does make a really nice affect in a quilt when used. I too, would like to see what else she would come up with. Donna has a fantastic eye for color and creative use for fabrics. I’m always amazed by her creativity, even when using someone else’s patterns.

I love using old clothing for sewing. Donna has well over 100 free patterns at jordanfabrics.com/pages/free-patterns-thumbnails You could keep pulling your clothing fabrics together with a plan to create something beautiful from one of the patterns. Since there are table runner, pillow, totes and other patterns there, you could start with something small. I like doing that because you can learn so much from it and it gives you an idea what kind of space, time, fabric, batting, backing and more that is needed for a big quilt. I think there is probably a tutorial for every free pattern. If you choose a pattern, search KZbin with the words Jordan Fabrics + the name of that pattern. Enjoy!

that's so funny I was thinking exactly the same thing when I was editing the video, I finally realized the top border is 42'' because you add 1 1/2 to EACH SIDE, so 39 + 1 1/2 twice comes out to 42''. For a good 5 minutes I thought the info was wrong and we would have to re-film that scene! I hope that makes sense, and also hope I haven't made a confusing mistake for everyone - James Jordan

Yes, because you only lose 1/4” when you sew the side border on, making it 1-3/4”. You should add 3-1/2” to the top and bottom borders. Wisely, Donna added extra to her measurement and then she measures across the quilt before cutting the strips, so she corrects the error in her math.

The seam allowance takes up the “other” 1/2. Each border (2) when sewn to the quilt top will take 1/4 off the measurements so both together take 1/2 off the top border.

@@jordanfabrics8380 It depends if the seam allowance is a half inch when attaching the side border to the patchwork. If it's 1/4 inch then the top border will be a half inch short... a 1/4 on each end because you have taken off the outside seam allowance when it hasn't been used yet.... I haven't watched the whole thing yet though but that would be why the half inch. Edit: I am dumb. 🤣

HMMMMmmmmmmm I think you lose 1/2 inch, because a quarter inch seam takes 1/4 from both the border and the quilt... So a 2'' border, will end up only adding 1 1/2 inch to each side, so it will end up being a total of 3 inches wider. so the original 39 inch width will end up at 42'', and that's how long the top border needs to be? I'm completely second guessing if that's correct now haha... I will be very interested to find out! -James Jordan
