Does anyone else "hear" Donna's voice when making a quilt? Ironing - You always want to iron your fabrics nice and flat before you cut. That way your cuts will be nice and exact. Penciling - Just draw a line from corner to corner. You can use any marking tool but I just use a nice sharp pencil. Cutting - Just line up your fabric on one of the lines on your cutting mat. Make sure everything is nice and straight and use your rotary cutter. Sewing - I'm gonna take this to the sewing machine... Always use a quarter-inch seam allowance... Leave them right on the machine... this makes sure your rows don't get mixed up. Finger pressing - Press the seams - you can use your fingernail or just the tip of your finger - towards the dark. Now, when we sew these rows together, these seams will "nest" and it's really easy to match up your seams "exact." Dog Ears - This might seem like an extra step but it helps reduce the bulk. Just trim off the dog ears. I just use my scissors and it goes really, really fast. Or, you can take your pieces over to your cutting mat and use your rotary cutter. Ironing - The blocks are all made and I'm gonna take these right over to the ironing board. I always want to iron my blocks nice and flat. That's gonna help my quilt lay nice and flat. Putting the top together - Now comes the fun part. All the blocks are laid out... I might change the blocks around... Now, let's get these all stitched up. Quilting - I've got the top all put together and on the machine. Now it's time to pick a thread. Admiring the quilt - I really love the way this turned out. We've got some vibrant colors here... and I love the way this... It was a lot of fun to make and went really, really fast. It's impossible to be stressed about making a quilt when Donna's gentle, encouraging voice is running around in your head! Thank you, Donna, Matt, James, and all the Jordan Fabrics team, from the bottom of my heart, for not only being instrumental in keeping a cherished American tradition alive and well but, also for bringing us into the 21st century in ways that no one else is able to do!🥰

My favorite part of my day. A new Jordan Fabrics tutorial and a cup of coffee. Love this pattern

[@yx6889]

Hi Donna and team. I just wanted to say that I'm an intermediate quilter and although I watch a lot of tutorials on KZbin, I really like the tips and ideas that I get from your channel. You have a very confident and calming voice which makes it easy to listen and learn. Also, you have the best tips of any quilting channel. I use the finger pressing all the time! I am still working on my 1/4" seams, sometimes it's hit or miss, but I am always in awe when your patchwork comes out so neatly! I also appreciate that you will show us what to do when the sewing is a little bit off and truly done is better than perfect! I have also used your "floating" points techniques several times when working with flying geese blocks. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us!

[@trublu206]

I love the way you break a quilt pattern down. As someone who is very new to quilting, I am intimidated by looking at some of the patterns. But you take the pattern and talk us through each step, making me feel "I CAN do that"! I would love if you showed sewing the blocks together once in a while (even if you showed it sped up!). I want to see how you handle all the fabric as the quilt grows. I just have a regular sewing machine I use on the dining room table and often get overwhelmed with the bulk of the fabric.

[@maryrogers5307]

Beautiful and easy.

[@julieenslow5915]

@@VeeVeeVeeV Thank you. Trudy's question dispelled my one concern about the Queen quilt I have started cutting as my machine is an old one (my mother's Elna - pre WW2!). It's an average harp I think. But your instructions just put in print what Donna teaches in her every tutorial. I didn't realize that until you said it. I know I can do that. And the Elna has a feed-dog cover and a special foot for freehand quilting. This just gave me the confidence to tackle the Queen! I'm going to do a table runner to experiment on freehand quilting!

[@jeanneolson2703]

Another way of looking at larger quilts is to break them down by quadrant’s. Then sew top rt., and bottom rt., together. Left top, and bottom together. Then sew it straight up the center. Most of us are able to use a bed to lay the two half’s on top of each other, then sew them together. I hope that helps. Happy sewing!

[@jennystrahley927]

@@jeanneolson2703 I put my blocks together in quadrants too because I don't like to sew lots of long seams. It seems to go together faster for me.

[@thusheelachurchill9775]

Yes I sew mine in blocks sections. Until it comes to the edges /borders.

[@nickyevans174]

How cool would it be to use a jelly roll of solids and have a print as a background! Endless possibilities!

[@juliewardman7520]

Once again, your colourway is better than the pattern! It's huge and beautiful. Thank you.

[@lisaforte1575]

Such a lovely combination of patterns and fabrics! It looks modern and traditional all at the same time with that gold quilting thread. It also looks like spring, which is so welcome this time of year.

[@gailwhite9595]

This pattern grew on me, I loved the patchwork blocks, but thought it was too much background, until after it was quilted...I love it!!!

[@vivcrampton9682]

Just found Donna and her tutorials , I haven’t started quilting yet but I’m addicted to watching her tutorials. Brilliant

[@janicekennedy6409]

I love your channel, I found you in October 2022 and have watched all your videos lol I'm obsessed

[@isabelanderson1838]

Really simple to make, very effective design and lots of negative space for quilting or placing a patterned block of choice.

[@norahmcphee4928]

Good afternoon Donna and "all" the Jordan family, This is a beautiful quilt Donna and broken into bite size pieces that new as well older sewer's can relate to and give that can do feeling. If this was quilted in more customised, quilting in white in those large spaces, i think that would look lovely and bright and fresh as well, but able to go with a sparse room of white (you know those designer bedrooms that are 25ft square that we all have, ha ha ha) or in any other room, it would just fill it with brightness. Now my brain has just thought of it in a variegated thread, mmmmhhhh, lovely. i wonder if you have ever quilted something and then not been so happy with your choice of thread afterwards and if so, what did you do about it? I know that you have done this for many, many years but there is always a time that perhaps we made the wrong choice and i really would like to know how to correct it or do we just leave it as is and there will always be someone else that it would suit. Thank you Donna for another pick me up, you are working better than the steroids and antibiotics. Thank you James for another well filmed video, i know that i really appreciate the time and trouble that you go to, to get the right shots for us. Crafty hugs to all at Jordan fabrics, from Norah, Glenochil, Scotland

[@afrahalmusallam4500]

Thank you, Donna, for this wonderful tutorial and your choice of bright and attractive colors Afrah Amusallam from stat of kuwait

[@brendajackson294]

This quilt has so much personality. The original picture on the pattern is a two color quilt. I don't think I would make it in two colors after I see the one you made. Thank you for the tips and how you assemble the blocks. The cutting and ironing info has helped me greatly. Thank you

[@Mary-bn5kp]

Enjoy learning more about your sewing designs. Thank you

[@lesliecas2695]

What amazes me as I watch Donna is how quilting ever really caught took off.. In the beginning, all the stitching was by hand with no special templates to make sure your blocks were the right size. No rotary cutters. Maybe no irons. Just amazing. Donna makes it look easy but it's still a lot of work and skill

[@rebeccamayers2056]

Nice to see you chooses a different quilting pattern then what you normally repeatedly use. Quilt is very attractive looking.

[@mandyadsett126]

Wonderful pattern, wouldn’t it look great with bright neons and a black background, thank you Donna for inspiration 💅🏻🧵🪡

[@rutheglinton1117]

Hi Donna, I like this quilt very much, particularly the large background spaces. I'll be able to design a lovely hand quilting motif for those! By the way I'd be interested to see a true scrappy quilt using up the leftover strips/offcuts from multiple fabric lines together. We all have huge scrap bins and I'm sure it would be a popular video :)

[@heathertomlinson1961]

I was thinking the same thing about the empty spaces. We hand quilt, too. 👍

[@jenniferdavis5482]

You should check out a quilt along I am doing with Corey Yoder with Coriander Quilts. The quilt pattern is Scrappy Irish Chain. It is a free pattern by Jessie Finchman. It takes 2 1/2 squares and an accent color and 3 yards of background.

[@andreabenu2565]

I love your work

[@freddiehansen7324]

That is pretty. The end looks complicated without being too complicated.

[@crafty3netri835]

For ur work and patience

[@antonin1477]

I love the giveaway with these wonderful French fabrics. Being French myself!! 😂

[@sandyjackson4661]

Another one that if I saw the pattern in a store I probably wouldn’t give it a second look. But everytime you make an amazing piece of art! Thank you for your videos

[@elizabethcook5852]

Thank you again for another quilt. One of my favorite parts of your videos is when you pick out the fabric... To be honest... That's the part that takes me the most time. Looking forward to seeing you in your next video... Until then, I'll just keep watching the others from the first one... Maybe one day I will catch up with you on making them... Somehow I just don't think that I can... Hahaha... Elizabeth 💜🐾🪡🧵

[@bethkoch11]

I love the quilting on this one. That's a big quilt - when it more than fills that huge table, you know it's a big one!

[@LittleSister60]

You know it's a big quilt when it even overlaps Donna's table. From the initial overview I wasn't too keen but the close up with that pretty gold pattern in the white spaces looks very nice. I think it would look good in just two contrasting colours as well. Thank you for another great video.

[@karinabak3993]

Gorgeous quilt, Donna.

[@rsplatt100]

Beautiful Donna! Doug pronounces his last name with a long “e”, like Leeko. You are so enjoyable to watch. I could watch your videos all day long. 😊

[@Quiltsforfun]

I love your videos ❤

[@brettster3331]

Hi Donna, this is a video for anyone who quilts to learn from, your explanations are so nice and understandable and you make it look easy to0 do. Thank You.

[@nancythomas5426]

Donna, Thank-you for making every Quilt pattern look so easy, without your tutorials, I wouldn't tackle this Hobby of Quilting.. I have a Jellyroll waiting to be opened and I think it's future is going to be to make "WATERMARKS". aPPRECIATE ALL YOUR TALENTS.

[@deannadent8111]

Thank you so much for another great quilt

[@marywaddell8927]

Another great demo on how to quilt, lots of hints and tips. I too would like to see Donna occasionally sewing the blocks together to complete the quilts and maybe adding the borders too. Please.

[@laurakelly6500]

I often don't try new patterns because of the complexity of what the picture looks like on the cover. But, when I watch your videos I think, I can do that. Thank you for another great tutorial. I can't wait to make this quilt.

[@barbarakempen2482]

I like this pattern, would be fun to see it with a colored background.

[@edithyoung596]

I would love to make the one color version for a change! In red or blue with a tone on tone white. What do you all think! Thank you Donna!

[@dawndecesare2177]

What a beautiful quilt.

[@debbieparrish4369]

Good morning Donna! Hi to Matt, Shirley and Everyone at Jordan Fabrics. Love the quilt. I think it looks like Spring, too!

The quilting was lovely on those big blank squares. I wonder how the quilt would look with a black background too.

I love both quilts. The log cabin is my favorite pattern of all.

Love watching your videos Donna. You do beautiful work and do beautiful quilts. I have incorporated a lot of your techniques, and it makes life in the sewing room so good. Thank-you for All you do. Now I have to go pattern shopping😁

[@starchildlander2909]

I want you to know, you are my favorite KZbin quilting lady!! You are an awesome teacher and I learn something new every time I watch your videos! I got to visit your store before covid killed off business and my husband stood there patiently while while I put a dent in the bank 😊. I was sad to hear your closed the store part. I was hoping to visit it again when I made another trip to Oregon to see family. BUT, I still shop your business online as the need arises.

Beautiful! I swear I could watch that longarm for hours. Beautiful quilt.

[@reginarose9940]

Forty years ago I made a 2color quilt for my mother from a pattern we found in Better Homes and Gardens. It was called "Young Man's Choice". If was the same pattern as the 9patch/strip block, and it was free. Truly, there really are few actual original patterns. Everything is based on old, traditional patterns designed by our quilting ancestors.

[@maryanneprimavera844]

Stunning!

[@susanward1065]

Thank you for another gorgeous quilt today.It’s very modern and the colours look great. I love the gold thread which shows up beautifully and the tutorial was very informative. Thank you Donna for your expertise on colour and thread choices.Cornwall 🇬🇧

Initially I had doubts, but the finished quilt looks fabulous! This will be my next jelly roll project, using French General fabrics. It just 'speaks' to me!

[@starkey629]

Sometime back you and Matt made a kaleidoscope quilt that was 2 part. I’m having trouble finding it. It was a good tutorial and very informative. Speaking of Matt we haven’t seen in in awhile, he must be cutting up a storm. Thank you for your help.

I just discovered your utube channel! So excited to learn new things. New to quilting, but my sweet Grandmother was a pro. Thanks for all you teaching.

[@anitajonsson4379]

Hi Donna, Initially, I was not all that sure how this quilt would turn out. I guess I just didn't understand the attraction of the pattern design. For my taste, it just was a little too far on the minimalist side. I should not have worried. As always, the finished quilt turned out beautifully. I love the jellyroll fabric you chose to use in makingthis quilt. The fabric is beautiful, the strips are all different and I loved.them all. Then, I was delighted with the quilting floral & leaf design you selected and I was so happy you chose the golden thread for quilting. Once again, beautifully perfect choices that have all come together as you knew they would...I love this quilt, it has all come together to produce a very modern, attractive design that really resonates superbly. A stunning work of art that would look well with a wide array of varied decor styles. Making this quilt a real treasure! ❤

[@klparker76401]

You just proved I ❤French General fabric!

[@ingridtinsley4141]

Hi Donna, I really enjoy your quilt tutorials you do a really good job explaining everything thank you for that 😊. I would like to make a request, we haven't seen Matt for a long time and I think it would be nice for him to do some videos from time to time, it could be receiving the boxes with fabrics and showing us what hw does with them, or selecting fabrics for kits, or anything related with what he does, I think it will be nice to see that part of Jordan Fabrics again. Thanks

[@marlenethompson864]

Beautiful quilt! Thanks for the instructions!

[@63Kelsey]

I like the one you have done in the colored prints rather than the one shown on pattern package. If I were to just see the pattern package I wouldn't have purchased it. Just goes to show how different colors and patterns affect our choices.

[@jilltolbert981]

Now I know what to do with a jellyroll that was gifted to me. This quilt looks easy and is so eye-catching.

[@cavellwhite3935]

Beautiful, love a quilt with large quilted negative spaces.

[@deadiemeyers1661]

My eye is always drawn to design that incorporates a lot of "negative space" between the patterns of color. This is a lovely pattern, and I see it as a variation on a basic Irish Chain Quilt. Your instruction and the video quality are, as ALWAYS, excellent!

[@cr2884]

Always always look forward to your videos. It shows us all that we too can do this. You keep it clean and simple with your directions. Thank you.

[@ginabalk430]

Love the tote with Ian's original choice of fabrics! And as I've said before, you give such great tutorial instructions and video angles. Looking forward to making some of these; love the boxed corners and may try to make the bag size a bit deeper since it looks like the boxed corners take away from the depth of the bag.
