[@adelenehaberkorn]

Thank you for the detailed jelly roll Barn Door. I followed your tutorial and my quilt turned out great. Now adding borders and will send to the quilter. It took me a month to do it . But loved the results. Thanks again for such good details. Happy New Year.

[@TheQuiltersCandyShoppe]

Thank you! So glad to hear you had good results with your quilt; I'm gald it turned out so great! Bonus: you had a month of quilty fun! I hope you enjoy it for years to come!

Good morning , I'm new to your channel And I just wanted to say How much I've enjoyed This video. I am a 76 year-old grandma who has been sewing since I was 8. I just wanted to put my 2 cents in about your teaching quality And expertise . I hope all the new quilters will appreciate How Perfectly The blocks come together. I have taught all my grandchildren to quilt. It is the best hobby there is and a skill that lasts a lifetime. Thanks for your great Program.

[@TheQuiltersCandyShoppe]

Thank you! That is such a compliment. I am so happy to hear when we quilters are passing on our skills to the "youngsters". Keep up the good work! Enjoy!

A friend of mine recommended that when working w/ bias edge blocks to run a basting stitch around the block which also stabilizes the block. It adds time to the construction, but if I start a project and don't get back to it for awhile, it protects the integrity of the fabric.

[@TheQuiltersCandyShoppe]

I'm glad you liked it. Pressing the seams in opposite directions allows you to "nest" your seams. That means getting your seams to stack right on top of each other so you get perfect points, or excellent intersections. Feel free to ask any other questions you may have here! Welcome aboard!

[@sandrastitt527]

I tried to find the jelly roll on your web sire for the FREE pattern, but couldn’t find it. Is this an old video 😮?

[@TheQuiltersCandyShoppe]

You can print the pattern for free without a purchase by going to www.poppiecotton.com. Click on the "free tab" and scroll to the bottom of the page. If you wanted a jelly roll, they are currently sold out, but I have a shipment coming next week. This will be the last shipment as Poppie Cotton is sold out and is not reprinting this fabric collection, anymore. You can go to my website: www.thequilterscandyshoppe.com and "PRE-ORDER" a jelly roll and it will ship as soon as it comes in, and you will receive a printed pattern with the purchase. I hope this helps! Enjoy!

[@TT-nt1in]

May I ask, why not sew 4 strips together and then subcut? Just wondering as I see so many people do this to save time. I applaud you cutting all those strips! 😊

[@TheQuiltersCandyShoppe]

Yes! That is a great way to go! But, the pattern was written to be very random and scrappy; Yet, because they got re-scrambled in the next step, it could work. However, where we could run into an issue is because there was barely enough fabric in the strips to cut the pieces; it is likely you wouldn't be able to get the 5-8.5" cuts. So, I still recommend the single cuts (stacked strips) especially working with this particular Jelly Roll. If using a jelly roll that measures 43" inside the selvedge, the technique you mentioned would save time. Enjoy!

[@TT-nt1in]

@@TheQuiltersCandyShoppe ~ yes, watching you cut the strips was extremely beneficial to anyone sewing this pattern as there is but a millimeter to spare on the length of fabric! With my measuring and cutting skill, I’ll be adding lots of fabric quarters! ;)

[@JillSwords]

Would you mind explaining what that little piece of cotton material is for? You saidvthread saver?

[@TheQuiltersCandyShoppe]

Hi! Yes! It is called a "thread saver" or some people call it a "cotton tail" LOL! It is very useful for a couple purposes. *First is to do exactly what is called, to save thread. Instead of pulling your pieces off after you have sewn, and leaving so much thread pulled off, you and just sew this piece through and leave it under your presser foot so you can cut off your pieces with out wasting thread. Just use a scrap; I suggest that it is two thicknesses, so it is the same as what you are sewing. *Second, it is a great "chain marker" for when you are assembly line sewing so you know what is the beginning or end of your chain of patches. *Third, if you have trouble with points from sewing triangles, being pushed down into your needle hole/feed dogs, this little bit of fabric helps stop that by letting your sewing be seamless from the "thread saver" to the piecing. If you have anymore questions on it, I would be happy to answer them. email me at: [e-mail] I hope that helped! Carrie

[@sandrapisano3667]

could I cut 8 inches from the jelly roll to get 5 rectangles?Just subscribed and would like to order jelly roll and pattern but need to be able to cut 8 inches instead of 8-1/2

[@brendasweeney2806]

Are you trying to use the fabric up I think I would like to use the 8” too It will just be bigger I think.

[@ceciliaschleicher278]

​@brendasweeney2806 cutting 8 inches isn't going to make it bigger as it only leaves 2.5 inches left on each strip and won't leave enough for another 8 inch cut to make extra blocks

[@lcsd863]

4 - 2.5 inch strips sewn long side together is 8.5 inches wide. The pattern tells you to make a square, sew sides around the edges and cut in four triangles. To make a 8 inch square you need to square up the block to 8” before sewing all around the edges.

[@alyrobbins5299]

I think if you cut all your strips 8 inches and proceed. Your blocks will turn out 1/2 inch smaller, and those center triangles will be tiny. That might be un-manageable. If you have some scraps. Give it a try and see.

[@TheQuiltersCandyShoppe]

Your fellow quilters have had some excellent advice! @lcsd863 is quite right: You can cut your strips 8", but you will have to square up your block width to 8" as well. This will make the side triangles quite small. If you don't care about that, then go for it! @alyrobbins5399 also makes a good suggestion: grab some scraps and give it a try before cutting into a beautiful jelly roll. Just for clarity @ceciliaschleicher278 is correct! Cutting the pieces 8" will not give you enough to cut an extra 8" piece. If you are wanting to make it bigger, you just need to add more strips or fat quarters to get more blocks. Is there a particular reason you need to make it 8"? Maybe there is another solution I can make. Welcome Aboard!

[@dottierobbins939]

Since you squared up your blocks, when you sewed the blocks together there shouldn’t be an overlap of material. Meaning, the blocks should line up perfectly and there shouldn’t be material on the bottom or top that is a little extra. I hope this makes sense.

[@TheQuiltersCandyShoppe]

Yes, exactly. Thank you for watching!

Интересный вариант. Я думаю, что если собрать все остатки тканей, что есть дома, то получится тоже красиво. Спасибо за информацию.

[@TheQuiltersCandyShoppe]

Yes! You can definitely do this project, completely out of scraps!

[@СветланаКоломыйченко-ц1ж]

Уточните пожалуйста, ширину и длину полосок. Я не совсем поняла из видео. Можно в дюймах, потом переведу в сантиметры.

@user-mf3td9iw6f Thank you for your question! You need 40 - 2.5" x WOF (width of fabric) strips. Double check the length of the strip before cutting, it is important that you can get 5 - 8.5" pieces out of the strip. Some fabrics are not wide enough, in that case you may need to add a couple Fat Quarters to get enough pieces to make the 50 - 4 piece strip blocks required to make this quilt. If you are cutting pieces out of yardage, instead of strips, you need a total of 200 2.5" x 8.5" pieces to make enough blocks for a 52" square quilt top. I hope this helps. Feel free to ask more questions, if needed. Thank you for watching!

i have 2 Jelly Rolls what pattern should I use also 5 inch squares

[@TheQuiltersCandyShoppe]

@@EllenBishop-ms8bl One jelly roll will make the 51” square. If you use 2 jelly rolls you will get a substantially larger top. For this pattern the 5” squares aren’t going to help as you need 8.5” pieces. You can find the pattern for free on Poppie Cotton’s website, under the “FREE” tab, and at the bottom of the page. I hope that answers your question. If not please feel free to contact me: [e-mail]

@@kathysews524 we’re you able to find the shop? We now have kits in stock as well. 😃👍

[@jolynnsholmire2785]

Does that make an 8in. square

[@TheQuiltersCandyShoppe]

It should be an 8 1/2" square

[@LynnHogan-v4c]

And what is a scant quater inch measurement

[@TheQuiltersCandyShoppe]

Good question. A scant 1/4" is where you sew just inside a true 1/4" line. This is used to allow for the thickness of the fabric as it folds over itself. It doesn't seem like a lot, but if you add up all the seams in your quilt it really makes a difference. It has been used primarily for Half-Square Triangles or to make sure points don't get cut off; but I pretty much use it for everything. Practice on your Stitch and Flip Half-Square Triangles. It is the best way to see the results. Let me know, how it goes!

[@margaretderen2082]

To visualize: picture a straw (or get a straw). With a marker, you can draw a line down the middle of the straw or draw a line on the right or left side of the straw. For a scant 1/4” seam, you will want your stitches to land on the “left” side of your line - but still on the line. (Some machines, threads, or needles may need a bit more or less for accurate scant 1/4”). Experiment. See the finished difference between stitching on center, on right, and on left. Multiplied by many blocks, the “scant” difference can add up to a sizable inaccuracy in block size and points cut off.
