It's a Mirage Quilt! | Who Can See the Blue Star??

[@cindywhitsett8244]

I have been a seamstress for 40 years, and now a quilter. I ALWAYS learn something new when watching your videos. Even the small things like pressing toward the grain, not stretching fabric when sewing, and measuring your inner boarder are valuable reminders that need to be repeated for this old brain. Thank you for giving the joy of quilting to us. I love your videos ;)

[@robinmoylan8939]

Cool quilt. Color pippin! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@juliemorrison4348]

Very pretty quilt.

[@bonniewoodfine136]

Love your projects

[@BrendaH289]

You are just an excellent teacher ♥️ thank you 😊

[@nickibair999]

Beautiful as always Donna!!

[@cherylwilliams42]

Donna, I appreciate that you teach as you demonstrate a putting together a new pattern. Thank you.

[@safeguard9801]

Hi . I love your videos because you explain very easy way , how to sew quilting projects. Thanks

[@banacamara8638]

Merci Donna

[@ljbj4]

I just have to say that your videographer is really good! Thank You not only for the very helpful tutorials but on the great job of the video-ing! Everything is so very clear and easy to understand as well as see! Thank you so much for these wonderful videos! Great work!

[@nancyschaefer8910]

I use my camera often when designing, sewing and laying out blocks. Thanks for all of the great tutorials

[@lhjpr2753]

I like the Patchwork, i like the quilting. Beautfull.

[@ArtRogerCenter]

Hello! I'm Brazilian and I'm very happy with your channel. I like the way you teach us and I like patchwork. Thank you very much. I'm learning a lot.

[@pennytull7578]

November 2021. What a Great Quilt. The way you sewed the strip sets, OMG the Kaleidoscope of colors bring an instant Smile! The combinations of color are excellent, (from your layout plan) & the layout, so balanced, so much movement for the eye. I can't help myself even on this phone screen. What a great idea for gift's, & myself. Simple, quick,fun, with modern fabric choices. Thank you Donna. Well, your hole family does their part, I thank you all for doing the hard parts, (math, color, cuts, & layouts, filming probably 100 other things to keep your Ship Sailing in these "strange times"), & for giving fair warning of problems BEFORE they become an issue. All On Film. 👍☺️

[@margaretrichardson8544]

Great quilt, Donna. Love it.

[@sonyasmithart9085]

I enjoy watching you you Mat at work I haven learned a lot of good things to make my work better I have been guilting since 1989 I am self taught but I am always open for new ideas thank you very much

[@brigidmccrea2790]

Here is what I like about Jordan Fabrics' videos. They give you the 201 level info. I go to MSQC for the 101 level stuff and inspiration. But when it ends up a little wonky, I know I can turn to JF tutorials to try and figure out why. The explanation on the bias really did solve a lot of my problems. She has covered the topic briefly in other videos. The bias/ironing is absolutely why my new quilting adventure often ends up looking...hmmm...wobbly. I need to get on board with finger pressing. I also now really understand cutting and ironing on biased fabrics. Thank you for helping me take my new quilting habit to the next level. Onward and upward!

[@donnakeeley7924]

Learning so much! Could you do a program about converting a Laprobe into different sizes? How much fabric to buy and also how to convert a 10" block into a smaller sized block like a 6" or 8" block? If you make a cotton quilt fabric top but want to use flannel as a backing is there anything you need to do for shrinkage? To wash or not to wash? Thanks Donna! 😃

[@pkpobrnc]

Can you make a quilt with houses? Maybe even a Christmas neighborhood of houses etc. using some of the wonderful Christmas fabrics? Thank you! I LOVE your quilts!

[@jordanfabrics8380]

I'll see what we can do

[@aliiljah8224]

This is a very pretty pattern and you chose some beautiful fabrics for the quilt. I've been watching your tutorials,(all of them, the last couple of days) from what I have seen, you are the best quilter that I have ever seen. I have been sewing my own clothes for forty years,, since I was 10. I know a good sewer when I see one.

[@JackieDannenberg]

Love this quilt ! I have a BUNCH of batiks I think would work really well with this pattern. I have to stock up on grunge fabrics though. I will be making this quilt. Thank you SO much !

[@elaineadair]

You are really on a roll lately - I can't keep up with all your wonderful ideas, much less SEW them! All of them are beautiful and "do-able". Thank you for great inspiration!

[@marilyn8490]

I have been meaning to make this quilt for ages...did it in green (star/borders) and earth tones/browns/oranges/reds/autumn colors for the prints. Will be a gift for my sister's b-day as a special treat since she's been staying out of crowds...a nice pick-me-up! Thanks for the tips with ironing, etc. due to the bias cut of this pattern.

[@cyndifoore7743]

Beautiful!

[@ShyVioletIsShy]

Currently going through all your older videos and this is definitely an awesome quilt pattern and SO EASY omg. Great work!!

[@theresaconner185]

Love all the tips about sewing bias squares.

[@joycekaminski517]

I agree, the pressing tips are so important.

[@jamesgrimsdale7632]

I love all the helpful hints you give about piecing and pressing.

[@jacquenolast3794]

I really enjoy your tutorials thank you

[@karenbartholoma7337]

loved this quilt design!

[@dianedice]

Awesome! Love all your tips. Soooo very helpful.

[@debiballman1697]

Love watching your tutorials you are good at this

[@marymurphy3578]

I have made this quilt before but couldn't understand why it went out of shape!?!? Now I know about pressing on the straight of grain!!!! Thank you so much Donna. As a beginner, I thought I had done something wrong, but didn't know what it was. You explain things so well and you are always willing to share hints and tips. It means so much to those of us who don't have anyone to teach us. Thank you again and hugs from Ireland. xxx

[@denisepineda1788]

Awesome. I didn't see the star at first. I like the grunge fabric as the background. Looks great.

[@sirfloyd1]

What a great quilt idea i love it

[@webbadawn]

Love this quilt

[@annewright1661]

You give so many excellent tips! Thank you so much! I enjoy watching you sew!

[@jewelarender2451]

I would love to see a tutorial on the PARK PLAZA QUILT. I saw it introduced by Cozy Quilts, but, it was not explained. I know y'all have a long list of requests, but, please add this one to your list. THANK YOU SO MUCH! ♥️

[@michelletothill8551]

Your tip to press in the direction of the grain when dealing bias edges makes so much sense. I wish I had known it when I was wrestling with a quilt that was all bias edges. The star could be enhanced by the quilting pattern, but it is fun to have to look for it.

[@susanrawson2128]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! No idol, useless chit-chat and straight to project at hand. Your stuff is awesomeness!

[@laurieappleby4284]

Donna & Matt, Being a beginner, I really quite enjoy your videos and how you explain things in terms I can understand.

[@salemtrip]

First and foremost I want to say Thank You Donna And Matt ,you guys have inspired many of us to try these patterns ,I personally have a renewed interest in the art of sewing quilts ,I would love to see you do a historical quilt like a Tennesse waltz . That would be awesome

[@jordanfabrics8380]

I'll look up Tennessee Waltz.

[@kathyrecords982]

Donna I enjoy watching your tutorial and learn from each and every one of them. . You always have a new tip in each video and you are always such a calming voice! Thank you and Matt for all you do for quilting! Your son as well!

[@elisabetedesousa2348]

That’s beautiful love the colour scheme!

[@olgaaranda5909]

Hola soy de Colombia me encanta todo lo que haces

[@olgaaranda5909]

Cómo algo para traducirlo en español

[@cherylwilliams42]

This would be beautiful in Christmas fabric and colors.

[@reneechallan9504]

I just love your quilts from the color combinations to the clear instructions. I have learned so much...Thank You! Have you ever done or considered doing a quilt with a scalloped edge? I would be very interested in seeing how this is done.

[@jordanfabrics8380]

The scalloped edge quilt is on my list.

[@evelynfrench804]

Beautiful quilt. Thank you for sharing.

[@vickiemarquis2774]

As always a fantastic quilt.

[@jwestfalldavis3574]

Love this quilt!

[@marywalker5344]

I’m always eager to get to my machine after watching your videos. So precise.

[@U1021ME1]

My sister and I have decided that we not only want your iron but we want your husband Matt. 😊. Wish my husband would cut my fabrics. Love your tutorials. Will be coming to your shop in August. Can’t wait!

[@annieboulton5759]

Hello Donna. This uilt is stunning. I love the colours you chose. Kaffe Fassett! My very favourite xxx

[@CloudyWishes]

Really beautiful, thankyou for all the tips

[@repunzelrepunzel7433]

Donna... I love all the quilts you make!...I made a lap quilt for a friend using the fall leaves... and I love the table toppers!

[@patriciahogan829]

I've never been a fan of Kaffe Faset, but after watching you use his fabrics, I'm changing my mind. Also I've not worked with 21/2" strips very much. You are making me changing my thinking. Donna, thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@starsembroidery8102]

Hi, Dona I enjoy watching your videos, This quilt block is not that easy i have trid but it does not came out ad yours did.Im still learning from you and you are heard working woman ,which is remind me my mom who was really best taller .your work is so much neat im inspired by.Thank you Dona for your supper cute videos.One day im gonna visit your store. I also hope for winnig give away quilt,at least i wll have one which wiill made by you,Dona. Forgive me if there is any mistakes i have made because English is my second langudg.😅😅😅👍👍👍👍🥀🥀🥀

[@locoemutwo4872]

beautiful layout!

[@smallfootprint2961]

Ironing on the grain is a great tip. I remember the days of circle skirts, when my mom taught us to iron only on the grain. You can really mess up a hem line if you forget. I love the colorful blocks. Thank you for saying that there are options with your designs. So helpful, and encourages creativity.

[@denisesmart3768]

Thanks for all the tips on ironing the bias edges

[@rosettagadson1762]

Love the quilt and colors

[@deniseluper8078]

Cool pattern and love the bright colors. Thank you again

[@dianesmith6501]

Great use of Kaffe fabrics, because there are places for the eye to “rest.” Excellent ironing tips for bias edges!

[@cj2sew]

You really are a pro with your videos. I love all the little extras like pressing, that make us into better quilters. Thank you so much for all your efforts.

[@OutRagaous]

Oh thank you! Donna, you have addressed where I have gone horribly wrong in the past. Ironing boards tend to have a bias against bias edges, so I will be making a tabletop ironing surface. And I will be pressing in future. Thank you!

[@saturdayschild376]

Your nails coordinate with your fabrics, love it!

[@maedeanjones9807]

Donna I’m so excited to have found your website on KZbin. You explain all details so clearly, thanks truly enjoying

[@justmeperthau]

Taking a picture is an awesome idea. Your tips are always so helpful. Thanks for another great tutorial.

[@lucygreenwald6655]

You are talented! Love your quilts...

[@jdelany8026]

How about a dresden checkered quilt . I saw one at a friends place .It was beautiful.With both you and your husbands talent when it comes to quilts.It should be extraordinar You both do such wonderful work .Kudos to you both from Canada.

I always like watching your videos.

[@bierjip1]

All things bright and beautiful!

[@heleneckard4119]

Thanks for the good advice about working with bias cut blocks. Love the quilt!

[@teresahotchkiss6337]

Hi Matt and Donna, Thank you soooo much for your tutorials; I have put all your tips into practice, my quilts are much more precise and I have more confidence. I would really like to see in detail how you make you incorporate extra pieces in your backing, it adds so much to the quilt. Would love some ideas. Thanks again, Teresa

[@Alaska1trip]

I love the pattern and it’s diversity. Great show, thanks

[@carolinebirrell4853]

What a simple but so effective pattern. Absolutely love some of those prints you’ve used. 🌺

[@KATE-SEWS]

This is fantastic! I have blocks made like this and it gave me an awesome idea how to arrange them in a different way!! Thanks Donna you are amazing as always! Thank you for the inspiration!!

[@jackiematsumura2649]

Great tip on pressing bias strips. I’ll do this next time I’m workin with bias. Mahalo

[@suziclary5573]

Thank you for all of the videos and explanations! Great pattern

[@traciowens2778]

I love how detailed you are with the pattern, how to press, measurements. All of it is wonderful!

[@carolvanleer3386]

That's such a smart tip about ironing in the straight grain of the fabric. Thanks, Donna.

[@ruthl359]

Yes, I've never heard that tip before and it's a good one.

[@marcellespeake4272]

Oops, forgot to say how much I love, love the feather fabric you chose for the backing. Will be checking your website on the first to see what colors that comes in and grab some before they are all gone! I like the blue background you chose (love Grunge). It doesn't contrast greatly with the KF fabrics, but that is not a bad thing, it makes the quilt very subtle and soothing even with the bright colors. He uses SO many bright colors that it would be hard to pick a color for high contrast unless you use black or white - which would be really nice too. Thanks again for all you do for us!

[@karengobeil1]

I absolutely love your videos. It is a great thing to see you using industrial as well as domestic sewing machines. What I find extremely interesting about your videos are when you have shown the new fabrics arriving and when starting a project you explain who the designer is as well as the fabric house who print the designs. This allows viewers a chance to learn about those aspects of fabric purchasing, so they are better able to explain to quilt shop workers what they are really looking to buy. I get a vicarious thrill when you walk around your shop and I can see all your fabric choices on the shelves. Where I live geographically, quilt shops are very few and extremely far apart......by hundreds of miles. Keep making both quilts and videos. I have shared your site with my quilt group and two of my freinds have watched some of your videos and are hooked also. Thank you. Karen G. Ontario

[@sandyskoh9735]

Love watching your tutorials. Great Job.

[@marcellespeake4272]

Love HST and this is a fun quilt. Stars and log cabins are my favs, so this set up really appeals to me. Your videos are always great (get excited when I see there is a new one), and your nails always look so beautiful. Your videographer does such a great job with closeups so we can see every thing clearly and holds the camera so steady. Kudos for that! Wish I could move to your town!

[@mandamorris7934]

Ohhhhhh those beautiful colors and the yellow pops are just the right snazz.... Love it!!! Awesome Donna and crew... Many thanks for doing what you do!!

[@beverlymyers3552]

I love your tutorials! You explain in terms understand. I really like how you use basic rulers etc instead of investing in equipment I really do not need! Thank you!

[@sewandsow]

I always enjoy your piecing and pressing tips. Thanks sew much!

[@cathydeutsch7318]

I really like this pattern!

[@barbaradelarwelle7280]

Donna thank you for the 'iron with the grain' tip!! You're the only person I've heard say that. I love watching your videos because you are always so informative and have wonderful tips!! Thank you for all of your time and effort.

[@patriciazuleta7668]

Felicitaciones por tan hermoso proyecto. Gracias por compartir. Saludos desde Colombia.

[@sharonhaslam5282]

Another lovely tutorial So inspiring

[@ellaanderson6114]

Have you ever made a quilt with Native American design? Probably with the patterns you are using. I would like to see one made on your channel. I sew but not so much as I use to. I like the way you teach, explaining carefully as you sew and put the quilt together.

[@lyndapierce2333]

Thanks so much for another awesome video,your instructions and tips are just great.I am very new to quilting and you have been my inspiration and help.Love this quilt,especially all the colours.Thank you Donna.
