Log Cabin Quilt from a Jelly Roll!

[@djf57]

I'm 65 and just starting to quilt. I have been sewing since I was young but quilting is different. I love quilts

[@britttreu721]

One day I will visit The USA with an empty suitcase and come to se you and other quilt shops and go home with a full heart and suitcase. I love sewing big quilts. Love from Britt, Copenhagen Denmark

I have just taken delivery of my second order of Batiks jelly roll, and a length of batik fabric from Jordan fabric. It is absolutely beautiful, very colourful, good quality. Just trying to decide on a pattern. The delivery arrived 1 week earlier than quoted. Very prompt service, very good quality. Will definitely order again soon 😊

[@msuestiegemeier7618]

Donna, you always make it look so easy. Has anyone ever told you, You are Smooth! 😊

[@laris2328]

There are over 400 comments so far. I've not read all of them. I have a suggestion to save one step in cutting. Sew together the 2 strips that you're cutting into 2.5" squares. That way you won't lose any small squares (yes from personal experience). Once sewn together, keep strip closed and cut into 2.5" squares. Center is done. You can press sewn strip first before cutting to relax strip if you want. I've done this and it turned out fine.

[@suecoady8017]

I REALLY, really like that idea, trick, tip. Whatever you call it, it's brilliant.

[@shirleysarradet2052]

How beautiful. I am 85 years old- love, love quilts. Always said I wanted to make one before I died, but not likely. All of you dedicated quilters are just Amazing. Love watching you.

[@shirleylangley6804]

Shirley Sarradet Hi Shirley, your post touched me, so I just had to message you. I am a member of a quilting group and we have quite a few ladies over 80 years young who have a wealth of knowledge to pass to us youngsters (70 years plus) ha ha. Of course we cannot meet at the moment and don’t think we will see each other again this year but hopefully things will get better soon.😊

[@HUMMINGBIRD127111]

Certainly you can. There are numerous super simple 2 and 3 color quilt patterns you can make in 1 to 2 days. They look difficult but are not. Google Donna Jordan, quilting. I could teach you by phone in 10 minutes. GOD bless.

[@crltggrt]

My mom is 101 yrs old. Until her mid 90s she sewed daily. Her later contributions were charity quilts, lap quilts for nursing homes or baby quilts for missions. I hope to carry on her legacy.

[@crltggrt]

It doesn't have to be a big quilt. Do a baby quilt, give it away with love.

Outstanding!!! Your pressing hints are second to none Donna! Thank you for helping us all learn better techniques! All of your hints are timeless.

That’s the FIRST time a Log Cabin made sense to me! Thanks, Donna!

[@lrwalters14]

It was really helpful to show the chain piecing of block 1, then add block 2, etc. I love log cabin blocks but they take me forever because I do them one at a time. I will chain piece them from now on. Thanks!

Want to Thank you for all your great knowledge and videos. I have learned so much from you. I’m 65 years old and just started making quilts but have also sewn. The couple I have made so far have turned out great.

[@jackieharrison3467]

Back in the ‘70’s Eleanor Burns started a whole movement with her Log Cabin quilt and ripping strips into 2 1/2 inch strips. With the Jelly Rolls this is already done for you and you have very little waste. Made at least 5 of these quilts in the ‘70’s.

[@MrsGraphiteGal]

We have a lot to thank those early quilters for. They are the reason quilting is enjoying a revival. I started my quilt journey in the late 80's and still going strong.

[@kathrynbarbara967]

Super, super, super! Diane’s tutorials are the best for giving tips and reassurance. And it looks fabulous too.

Donna, I would like the jelly roll you used in the log cabin in this video. The batik one I should say!!

[@trishwinstead28]

I want to thank you for all the fun I have had catching up with your super videos. You are an excellent instructor. It is great that people are still getting so much use from a video you posted almost three years ago. Archiving greatness!! I have also been loving every single fabric and pre-cut that I bought online from your fabulous store. Thanks so much.

[@tammyingle233]

Beautiful work on log cabin blocks. I just love that backing material.

This was my first "bed sized" quilt, and watching this video and your other videos makes quilting look like fun, not tedious. You are an inspiration. Thank you.

[@bjuracek21]

I love this quilt! I have several jelly rolls I've picked up through the years and what a quick way to use them up! Thank you for sharing this idea, and all of the tips and tricks throughout. thank you!

[@annchildress5484]

Hello Donna, I had just picked up my phone to look for some variations in the Log Cabin Quilts. I could not believe my first view was these log cabin designs. I simply love the newer version. I gotta do one like this. BTY, I am just starting to quilt, but I am a crafter of all types of crafts and I made garment when I was a LOT younger, so I have no fear that I can't do these. I enjoy all your videos so much. Keep on keeping on,,, God Bless.

[@BellydancerMaliha]

Loved this video. Thank you so much!

[@tonyastokley5165]

I have to admit for a larger store I’d say you are like compared to some other videos and shops I’ve seen I have to admit I’m very impressed ! You didn’t have tons of tools to press buyers to buy ! I’m sorry but it’s true ! Don’t get me wrong ! I’ve just started and wanting to make quilts but there are so many out here today amd for the average person we can’t allways afford the extra tools needed ! I get so frustrated cause it seems they inspire you to buy the fabrics and tools which is fine but it’s just it seems to complex but you made this very easy to understand and anyone who hasn’t every size of square and special tools ! Which I’m dieing for the creative grids tools I’s what over time I’d like to get ! But ty so much I really mean this ! Buying the fabrics along with a machine can add up ! I was talked into buying two machines and but promised lessons and they set them back so far and then they rush ya abs there more worried about the buyers coming in to buy more ! It honestly hurts your feelings cause you pay a decent amount for these machines and then it seems your just tossed out on your own ! Unless you have $ for classes but we can’t all afford classes and I see videos agsin but they seem so complex and they teach by buying all of these tools ! One day I’d live to buy a log cabin tool don’t get me worng but I’d like to learn some small projects to make cause I can’t afford to waist any fabrics ya know I’ve been trying to build a stash ! I regret now I was interested in making clothes and now I wished all that time and $ was spent on solely quilt fabrics ! Let face it I’ve heard nothing but designer fabrics will sew up to look right ! Anyways sorry for the large comment but this is truly the first I’ve seen without even links to buy a list of items who can afford in one shot ! It just seems like they Inspire you but your pushed to pay for classes and some of us aren’t in a position to be able to so ty so much ! I may very much try to make this pattern ! Quilt ! God bless and stay safe amd likes and suscribed as well honey

[@gaylemae]

Amazing teacher you are! I’m inspired as I love this pattern. My grandma made the wedding ring pattern, and my sister used it until it fell apart, 30 years later. She wasn’t as kind as she should have been to it. But it lives in my memory! Handmade art is a precious part of my history and I continue to create

[@roselinedugas5666]

Donna this more modern quilt is really beautiful and the more traditional batiks purple and bleu one really caught my imagination on the fact that it becomes so different just in it’s disposal of lights and darks. Thank you so much for all these wonderful videos. I am anxious to be able to work at quilting because at our cottage, 3 hours drive and another 20 minutes from our warf to the cottage there is no electricity but the other side is that it is very quiet. So see you next time on one of your wonderful videos. Roseline from Québec. PS We are going to visit our son in august for which I bought a quilt from you for his birthday in March. Ocean Blue.

[@vedabrunero2214]

This method is absolutely brilliant. I cut and pieced 12 blocks in ONE afternoon and had enough left to make at least one more block for a cushion front. I totally recommend this especially for beginners but also for practicing accurate seam allowances.😍😍😍🤗 Thank you so much.

Hi Donna and Matt I’m a big fan of your tutorials I think I have watched them all now but I have to admit I re watch them over and over as I love them so much. With the log cabin quilt I’m wondering if at sometime you could show how to arrange the blocks differently to create different patterns. You ask also for us to put what we would like to see and I’m wondering if you could do a wedding ring quilt tutorial my 50th wedding anniversary is coming up and I think it would be a wonderful quilt to do as a gift to my very special Husband who is Amazing Thank you Marilyn

[@suem5213]

Donna, when I was making my log cabin table runner and placemats I used your method of sewing each step all at one time then go back and add the next piece. It sure works well and seems much faster than completing each block one at a time. Thank you for all your little hints, they sure help.
