Does anyone else play “Guess the thread color Donna will choose?” I love this pattern!

[@lucyhorritt3560]

Yes! Every time! 😁

[@UndertheNeedle282]

Always 🤣🤣

[@Cindyhatcher2009]

YES and I never guess as she selects :-)

[@GettinStitchy]

LOL, yes, definitely! I also play the game of guess how many outfits it takes to make the top. She did it all in the same outfit this time! Yikes. Talk about energy.

I’ve never heard the word “thatch” for fabric but I get why!

I live un a small village in Spain, and I can't stop watching your videos once, twice and again. I can't decide which one I'd like to make, all of them seem very very easy when you sew... LOVE your tutorials, Thanks from the other part of the world ❤️❤️❤️

Our power has been out all night, I was so happy when it came back on and discovered a new tutorial from you, Donna. Both quilts are great! Now I can go to sleep, it's been a long, hot day.

I made this quilt in crib size. I used Kaffe bright colors, left over from another quilt. The oohs and ahs abounded. I told them I thought it was more the fabric designer than my sewing. Baby is now old enough to play on the blanket on the floor. The bright colors are quite entertaining.😊

Donna. I Learn a lot of from you. Thank you. We continue to support u.

[@lisaakin322]

I live in Montana and was out your way in early August. I always make it a point to stop by the shop when in the area. I have watched your videos for years and order fabric frequently. I wanted to put in my two cents regarding your decision to reopen as a brick and mortar store. Unfortunately, there will probably be a lot of shops that have realized they can go mail-order only. But the community of quilters, the people that make up our groups across the country, are social; we love to get together and talk quilts; we love to come in and browse, touch the fabric, see the samples, get ideas; we make shopping for fabric a part of our vacations. This will be a big decision for you as business owners...but I wanted you to know how much I enjoy visiting your store IN PERSON. I hope that your decision can be swayed to the "reopen" option as it would be so disappointing to know that Jordan Fabrics would no longer be one of my destination points during my travels.

[@fayepersson8103]

I now live in Washington state , born and raised in Hawaii and visiting Jordan Fabric to shop is on my bucket list! I too visit quilt shops when I travel and draw inspiration from them ♥️

[@maryredick9894]

Please walk through your shipping area more often so we can drool and dream what it must be like for you!🤣

[@24carrotgold8]

I love watching you sew and hear the sound of the machine knitting and the iron spritzing!

Hope I can magically transport myself to Donna's shop for couple of hours 😂😋🙃 Nice quilt Donna!!! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Thank you! 🙏🏼🥰

[@lindadavis8082]

Another winner, Donna! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on choosing coordinating fabrics.

[@emilyrue1668]

Very cheerful quilt. When Donna says to be careful about the bias cuts and how it will stretch your fabric your fabric, BE CAREFUL. I am thrilled that you explained it again. Maybe my next top won’t be so out of shape. LOL thank you for the demo.

[@bethnorris1361]

Good reminder for this old quilter, too 🙋

[@jordanfabrics8380]

The trick is to always press in the direction of the grain of the fabric. Our muscle memory prompts us to pull the blocks side to side or up and down to make them square, but this has a very bad affect on the block! The more you try to straighten, the wonkier it gets! I have to concentrate really hard to iron along the diagonal of the quilt blocks - the individual ones and also when the quilt top is being put together.

[@kerrytrout]

I have very sensitive fingertips. Can I used a seam roller (gently) instead of finger pressing?

[@vivianpowell1732]

@@kerrytrout Try the eraser end of a pencil or a blunt-tipped knitting needle.

[@sguhl4089]

@@kerrytrout I use a seam roller sometimes. Works great. Just don’t pull on the fabric. Good luck!

[@elygonzalez5202]

Thank you Donna, it’s such a beautiful quilt. You teach us so much in a calm and simple way.

[@dalekalyvas9005]

Oh my goodness...your store is a dream! I would spend HOURS trying to decide on which fabrics to use. It must be so satisfying to work around all that beautiful color all day.

[@maureentaphouse5206]

I do love all the extra guidance you give in your videos. Sometimes it is so hard to imagine how changing the layout makes a difference and yes I do prefer the diagonal lines you created. Thank you once again for your superb channel and your son's excellent camera work

[@crvrcv123]

Thank you for all your videos. You inspire . :)

[@trishcrr]

Donna, you are such a bright spot in our lives! During this Covid nightmare, that doesn't seem to ever end, your videos are truly a respite away from the world. Your calm way of teaching and your sweet voice help to calm my soul. Thank you so much for sharing your time and talent with us!

[@amandajayne2619]

I adore the vintage look of this bright quilt. The Halloween quilt colours pop out and look nice, too.

[@robyntaylor344]

I was thinking whilst watching this I wonder how it would look with a black background, then you answered my thought. Love both.

[@amandastratton8242]

Beautiful quilt Donna really a cheerful make Thank you for sharing

[@margaretladru1518]

Oh wow! Sooooo many fabric packs. Totally drool worthy! I always enjoy seeing what your stores look like, given I probably won't ever be able to get there. Once again, another inspiring colourful quilt tutorial. I have learned so much watching all the videos. Thank you everyone at Jordan Fabrics.

[@jocelynrobinson8980]

Love getting a little tour of your storage…the fabrics, the jelly rolls, I’m in love!

[@lorrihankes4332]

I love both. The dark background really gives a visual impact. Warning - before you quilt the Halloween quilt, you do have a block upside down.

[@Sharon-pb7so]

I think that was a design variation. 🤔😏

[@lindsayschilling8707]

😄 No matter how many years a person has been quilting, those little boo boos happen! I just recently finished a large quilt (I pieced the top half of the quilt, and then I pieced the lower half). It came out gorgeous. I then pieced the 2 halves together, and pinned it up on my design wall (which is gigantic). I sat down to take a look at my masterpiece. I marveled at it, patted myself on the back and let out a gasp & my jaw hit the floor! When I pieced the 2 halves together, I had inadvertently spun one of the halves around & sewed it together incorrectly! Although a fairly easy fix: I just had to pick out one long seam, turn a section around and re-stitch the long seam. I guess when you are sooo close to the finish line, and then you make a blunder like that, it IS frustrating. Well I got the borders (multiple) on, and I just need to quilt it. Think I'll take it to a Longarm Quilter! I've been quilting for 34 years. And yes, no matter how long you've been quilting, mistakes happen! Lindsay, Sacramento, California ❤

[@kathyeubanks5524]

Sometimes I think it’s fun to have one block different from the others. And at other times, I’ve had to pick out seams to get to a block in the center that was sewn incorrectly. Depends on what you can live with, I guess.

[@jordanfabrics8380]

Luckily I saw that before it was quilted and it is fixed now!

[@lorrihankes4332]

Phew!

[@cherylwilliams42]

Wow! That orange and black pops and really gives a different look to the same pattern!

[@AdventistPrepper]

This wasn’t an instructional video as it was one to make us a liiiiiitle bit jealous about her “stash”. LOL. I This one is one my list to do. I am so thankful she introduced me to that triangle ruler and the tube strip method. It’s a game changer for me. Easier to knock out some amazing quilt tops. And I do like the production style of the videos; very easy going and nicely paced.

[@anitavisram8346]

It's a huge difference in colours. I love the pale flower prints myself. Thanks Donna you are always an inspiration. How about having a live on line auction of some of your remnant fabrics. Open to us guys who don't live in the States too? 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

[@lindsayschilling8707]

Donna, great job! I love both quilts. When you stand back a few feet, the blocks have a 3-D effect (particularly with the Halloween version). I just love it when I get a notification on a new tutorial from "Jordan Fabrics"! I can hardly wait to start the video. And, you do a terrific job with the tutorials; straight talk, to the point without a ton of fluff - Excellent; great for beginners as well! Many thanks to the whole crew.
