Jelly Roll Magic: Log Cabin Quilt Tutorial!

[@adonicamae]

I love to listen to audiobooks. no temptation to stop and look at a screen. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Any time!

[@nataliegist2014]

I love to listen to audiobooks on KZbin when I’m quilting.

[@lynnessewimperfect825]

Hi Christen. My favorite show to binge on is the original "NCIS" on Netflix. I start with Season 1 and just let the episodes run back to back while I'm cutting and piecing. I don't have to watch it, I just listen to it on my headphones. Thanks for the great idea using jelly rolls. I never thought to use one for a log cabin design. Many Thanks! ~~ Lynne

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Oh nice! It's good company to have a show you love playing. You are so welcome, I hope you give it a try. 😍

[@Kaylene16]

Same! I’m a huge Mark Harmon fan. I’m currently on season 7, probably for at least the 4th time!😂. I turn it on and just let it run for background noise.

[@janelleschwen1758]

I do the same thing!

[@margofrench3098]

How many jelly rolls were used for this quilt . Thankyou

[@jacquelinehogan4414]

NCIS for sure!,,,

[@FredaM]

I have binge watched Downton Abbey and a few others, but now my favourite is to listen to audiobooks while sewing.

[@louettesommers8594]

I loved Downtown Abbey, I didn’t know it’s available in audio version. Thank you for mentioning it.

[@vallywills9652]

I have a huge 2.5 “ bin of strips from left over charity quilts. I got so excited that I got up early just to sort them out after I watched your video. 🤣💕🦋

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

That is so great to hear. :)

[@shellyviau6110]

Hi Christen! Ok , great instructions and easy to follow. I have a request though. Every step can you show us how the block is supposed to be? It would make it so much easier if that’s something that could be included. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Great suggestion!

[@michellewilliams7152]

I just finished binge watching the "old" Magnum P.I., now I have to find something new! LOVE this quilt!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Have fun! That sounds so great, I forget about those old shows.

[@marieny4748]

@@michellewilliams7152 Try Bluebloods….love Tom Selleck!

[@rosinadoran8664]

Great work I enjoy watching your videos 😊 I have a lil tip for you 😊 when you have your peils of fabric cut and ready, take from the 2nd pile 7" 2 strips of fabric and put them to the bottom of the pile, that should mix them well, the next pile take 3 strips and put them to the bottom, then carry on until you have done them all 😊🎉🎉🎉

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Oh neat! Thank you for sharing!! 🥰🤗

[@isabelbayer4350]

As I said before you are a good Teacher

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

That really means so much to me Isabel. Thank you!

[@cindywathen5053]

Yes, I buy Jelly rolls and charms because I love the colors but it has to be a very special project to use them on. I'm glad I'm not the only one!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

YES & YES!

[@martastirling2570]

This would be a great qayg too.

[@Dillwinkle]

Great tutorial! I have 41 jelly rolls and really need to use them! ALSO… you need chopsticks so you can snack on that bowl of orange yummies without getting it on your fingers/fabrics. That’s what I do and it works great! I mean, what’s the alternative? Orange stains? NO WAY! No snacking?! PUH-LEEEZ! 😂❤

[@Imaqueen2023]

That’s a good suggestion although if im going to snack then i clean my hands In between. I find that once I get my groove I don’t want to mess it up. Quilting forever food whenever!!

[@suehorn4182]

I binge on audiobooks……mostly variations of Pride and Prejudice. I probably have a 100 in my library and listen over and over.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Wow, that is awesome.

[@colettesorrells9015]

❤❤❤❤

[@debbiegeorge5880]

Just made my first log cabin the "normal" way and loved how quickly it worked up. Love your idea. Love your cute personality. Chain piecing is the bomb

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

You are so sweet, thank you so much.

[@joanhuntress7384]

My favorite binge show is Virgin River! ❤

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Love it.

[@abibritton8791]

Also love it! And Heartland ❤

[@kathrynhenry8719]

I have followed Vurgin River and Heartland - and and an involved in the characters. That's when I do any hand work so I don't have to concentrate on the needle of the machine.

[@carolanngager1458]

I love to binge watch McLeod’s Daughters! It’s light-hearted and fun!

[@abibritton8791]

I'm doing this one! PS; I love 'The Music Man', West Side Story' and 'My Fair Lady ' most of all, and I HAVE to sing along! Wishing you lots of joy 💜💚💙 Abigail in beautiful New Hampshire

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Have fun! All those shows sound great!

[@TarahMatson-zz2hj]

This quilt is perfect for relaxed sewing. Sometimes we just need to breathe and do some meditative sewing!❤️ Thank you for sharing this project.😃

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

It really is!

[@joannebock2885]

Your nails are so feminine and lovely. Looks so nice in your tutorial. Love using jelly rolls that I have accumulated. Love to binge watch BritBox so entertaining, especially Agatha Christie mysteries

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Oh, those sound like they would be fun to watch. Thank you so much, I like having my nails pretty.

[@suemosley]

I am now binging on " Bones" series

[@dalenehowe9313]

Love your sign on the wall

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Thank you!

[@kathykline3436]

I'm currently watching Northern Exposure on Amazon Prime while I sew. Log Cabin patterns are a favorite!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

I hope you can give it a try.

[@SewGurl58]

Northern Exposure is finally available for streaming on Amazon Prime ❤

[@southerngirlhandmadeknit]

Yes! After watching 6000 videos, I chose to use this pattern for my 3rd quilt. This time, I'm not even afraid to go cut up some fabric. Thank you so much!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Great job!

[@nikkireynolds9514]

I binge on KZbin videos of other quilters. Just queue them up in watch later.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Yes, great idea.

[@gailnash298]

I love the Jungle Paradise fabric. When it first debuted, I bought so much. Too adorable. I made two quilts from it and still have sew much left. Now that I see your log cabin block, that's where my next Jungle Paradise fabric will go. The first JP quilt I made was the Stomping Ground pattern by Wendy Sheppard from a layer cake. The second was Simple Simon (A free download with Jordan Fabrics) from a jelly roll. Thank you for your inspiration! I love your blocks! 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

It is such a fun fabric, I am sure you can find lots of great things to make with it. :) Thank you for your sweet comment.

[@roxannesmith6656]

Thank you for this tutorial, I love love this idea ! 😊

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Glad you like it!

[@milliewilson9614]

I just finished all the NCIS. Now I'm on a musical kick. I forgot how much I love musical movies.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Greatest show man is the best.

[@susanpullum7559]

I prefer to focus on my sewing - even when chain piecing. I find it so enjoyable and relaxing. I would be distracted by having a video streaming in front of me. It would take my concentration away from the quilt. What I do enjoy is having my favorite classical radio station to listen to. To each her own, eh? lol

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Your favorite music sounds just perfect.

[@CopycatQuilter]

I’m freaking out with that drink close to your machine. After drowning a laptop once, I keep my drink on the floor or a separate table so I don’t accidentally spill, lol. Really pretty quilt! You’re right, we collect those jelly rolls because they are so pretty and then just look at them. I prefer to sew in quiet. I know, weird. If I do have the TV on, it’s usually some Lifetime movie where I don’t have to pay attention because all the plots are the same 😂🤣😂

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Yes, it's time we use that pretty material and display it. :) LOL yes those lifetime movies all seem to be the same, but still so good.

[@cathybabnick7326]

You're not alone. I prefer quiet also. No music, no TV.

[@FredaM]

I wear my earbuds and listen to audiobooks and sew. I love it.

[@2020pamb]

Christen I love any NCIS or Law and Order. And I will absolutely make that quilt! I love it!

[@sandygentry8455]

Audiobooks are my all time favorite

[@carolduensing6392]

I love listening to audiobooks. Wireless headphones are wonderful.

[@colleenjolicoeur6059]

These half log cabin squares really show off the jelly roll to great advantage. I think it looks spectacular. Nice to meet you so to speak.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Thanks for watching! Nice to meet you as well.

[@pyenygren2299]

I love, love, love the different log cabin blocks.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

I am so glad.

[@marianneparkinson3873]

Hi I’m new to you videos and you make it so simple, I have my audio books playing when do quilting that way I listen and don’t have to look up. I like bright colours, and like the ones you have chosen, I screen shot the measurements you gave, that way I don’t loose bits of paper. Thank you watching from Perth, Australia

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Thank you so much for your kind comment. Welcome!!!

[@sandysteveson6399]

I love Monk, Murdoch Mysteries, and anything musical. I listen to music and books also, currently I'm into the Mrs. Pollifax series. Love your videos, you always make me smile. 😊

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Oh neat, I have not heard of that.

[@janemason9215]

Love this pattern, Who doesn’t love simple that looks hard right..❤

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

So true!

[@PatriciaDunphy-yz3kc]

After watching this video I went to my fabrics and made the squares. I did not use a jelly roll but some of the fabrics I had on hand. I did make each square exactly the same and put strips in between each row. The top went together very quickly and I am in the process of doing a simple quilting. I love it! Thank You for the design of the modern Log Cabin.🪡

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

That is so exciting Patricia. I can't wait to hear about the finished product.

[@pattypritchett4382]

I’ve been wanting to make a log cabin quilt for a while now but been intimidated by the whole process of sewing the right strip to the right side while making a whole block at once but your strip piecing method makes sense to my brain to simplify it. Thank you for sharing your creativity

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

I am so glad it was helpful. I like easy, but still beautiful.

[@Peach231231]

I love that Jungle Paradise fabric line! I used the green frogs on green in my first quilt, and am hoarding the leftovers! 🙃 Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

You are so welcome, I am glad it was helpful.

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

My favorite DVDs to binge on are "I Love Lucy". However, I like to listen to audio books when I am cutting.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Its been a while since I binged I love Lucy! Thats a great one. I also really liked Bewitched and I Dream Of Genie too! I've seen them all so many times!

[@kendranewton9071]

I binge on law and order, I have it on in the living room so I can hear it in my sewing room. Love how this came out, thank you!😊

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

I see many people loving the Law shows on here. 😄

[@joannstrathmann4158]

This is super cute 🥰 your tips really help to make it seem not scary to tackle. Thank u 😊 As for TV, I try to binge watch movies or TV series, my favs are CSI, Law & Order, Criminal Minds. But, I try to watch the ones I’ve seen a lot so I’m not sucked into watching them again and get distracted from quilting 😅😂. Love ❤️ your channel.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Thank you for watching Joann! I see many ladies in here love those shows as well. :)

[@helensoares2549]

I love listening to Pod casts either when cutting, sewing or pressing. Time goes so fast.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

So true! Such a great use of time.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

[@dianathefiberfan]

Great video! How did you know me so well. I also hate having to take the jelly roll apart and use it. I love how you used your jelly roll into a log cabin quilt top!! Thank you!!

I am so glad you liked it Diana. Thank you for watching.

I love the idea of a "planning board" so that you can see how your squares show up

It really is very helpful.

First time watching your channel. Have been wanting to try a log cabin but had not thought about using a jelly roll. I gave a large collection of 5” squares so I think I may give this a try. Thanks for the tutorial.👏👏👏

You are very welcome, and so glad you are here with us.

From years of using Kansas Troubles jelly rolls for various quilts, I have 1 million strips left over. Yes, that is the accurate exact correct count. This is a perfect project to use up a few of those. We’ll see how it goes. 😊 Thanks for another great tutorial!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

LOL Nancy, you are too funny. Yay I am glad you liked it! 😃

I love your videos! Just discovered them. Funny you asked what shows you like to watch while sewing. I would say none at this point. I am new enough it takes all my concentration to sew straight!!

[@lynniep1905]

I love this pattern. I have the perfect jellyroll for it. I've been holding on to it for 6 or 7 years. Your videos are so informative and easy to follow. Thank you. I love to binge watch My Cat from Hell ( I'm a big cat 🐈🐈 lover😊). I did that yesterday on animal planet. ❤❤take care. Looking forward to seeing what you come up next.😊

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Wonderful!

[@debragerum7678]

Loved your tutorial, and what a fun jelly roll. I will eventually make this log cabin variation, and the medallion fabric center is beautiful! I unfortunately do not have a tv where I sew, it’s on my wish list, so it’s music for me. But when I do binge watch TV it’s been Bones, or CSI type shows. Having said that, my son was home over winter break and we binged watched all the Ted Lasso series that are on Apple TV. It was fun to sit and watch with him. ❤

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Those sound great, and music is perfect while sewing.

[@karenhodgson7880]

Love your music choices, and your videos of course x

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Thank you so much!!

[@DH-qz2so]

So I have in my quilting room, a Jelly Roll, that I purchased way back in 2018...It is Moda Basic Grey "Black Tie"... it is still in its package; I haven't been able to open it yet as I am scared! Lol! I was considering Jenny Doan's version of the "3 Dudes" pattern with it, as I have used that pattern and I like it... BUT now I see your video and the pattern you are using and am now thinking, THIS is the pattern that I deem worthy to open my precious (... my preeeeeeecious......) Jelly Roll for...!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Hahaha you are too funny. Yes, sounds like it would be lovely. I hope to see a picture. 😄😍

[@destrygraves]

We finished the Walking Dead earlier today. Hard to watch a show with 11 seasons with a group. Sometimes there are long waits. I tend to watch things I am familiar with while I am sewing. Gilmore Girls is my go to. I really like to put on some of our family road trip playlists and just sing, laugh and dance. Remember some trip highlights. I am actually making a raw edges version of this block at the moment. I work no more than 2 hours at a time and most of the clear everything away until the next time. I don’t have a dedicated sewing room or even one space where all of my things are stored. I’m working on 5 different twin quilts. They all have the same center and each has one thing unique to the person they belong to. They also all have a variety of scrap strips that they share. All the same, but all different. Quilts, quilters, families, friends, all of the people.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Wow you are a busy lady. They all sound so unique and beautiful! 🥰

[@destrygraves]

@@ISeeStarsQuilting aren’t we all. I was so focused on answering your questions that I neglected to tell you that I enjoy watching your videos and I love the way you interject humor into them. We all need more humor. Comfort and joy are what we strive for and unless humor falls under one of those then it needs to be added. Thank you for responding to my ramble earlier. It’s another thing I admire about you.

[@linseiler1135]
