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.

[@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. 😊❤

[@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.

[@Welderswife1]

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

[@user-ug4ke9ej7v]

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.

[@cathynuytten798]

You are so brave. NO IRONING! Can’t wait to see how everything turns out.

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Me and you both. :)

[@Carrie_13]

I LOVE this pattern but I love your technique even more! Great tutorial, def one on my to-do list now!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Thank you so much, that is so kind!!

[@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.

[@amandastratton8242]

[@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!

Thank you so very much Julie!

[@user-ij8ek6if5p]

Omg I love this so much. I am the last generation in my family to have knowledge with sewing and stitching. I love how easy you make things for me to understand as well as taking the stress out of it

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

You are so welcome!

[@Pamacci13]

I am a beginning sewer and quilter and you make this process so easy to understand!! I love your tutorials- Thank you!!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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.

[@m.e.u9912]

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.

[@marymiller-crews1307]

Thank you for another wonderful video! I love the idea of using jelly rolls, I have often confused “ scrappy with crappy”. Nice job, Kristen!

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

LOL....scrappy is my middle name.

[@lesliedubiel3212]

I love how this quilt turned out!! I have sooo many fabrics that I can use.. thanks for the inspiration!!

Awesome! Thank you!

[@brendarainwater6049]

Gorgeous!❤

[@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!

[@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!!

[@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.

[@Welderswife1]

[@marcellarodriguez7955]

I’ve always liked this quilt pattern. I like that it is in separate large blocks and could possibly done as a quilt as you go and join the blocks without sashing in a home sewing machine;)

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

I agree fully.

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

[@ISeeStarsQuilting]

Thank you so much my friend!

[@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!

[@astridooiberg]

I LOVE the way you explain this Jelly roll. Thank you so much for sharing.🤗

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! 🥰🥰

[@bethkoch11]

I've never made one of these but I've always had it on my list. You've made this so fun that now I want to get started! I love your technique. I'm one who presses my seams open, but I promise I'll follow your advice this time and press to the side! Time to look through all my jelly rolls!

Oh, I can't wait to hear what you do Beth. It really is fun!
