I have quilted for years, I am 90 years old and love your show, can’t get much quilting done, my time is spent watching your show? Love your show and I am doing my best to get 2 quilts finished so I can start another one. Have a happy day.

[@kerrymurray4690]

I am a 61 yr old guy and have seen so many Donna"s tutorials and have decided to make this quilt for my 1 of 4 grandchildren. Many thanks to Donna and her husband for so many easy to follow instructions.

[@maureenkearns5376]

There are some great videos of men quilters on you tube. You’ll become addicted to quilting! Enjoy

[@DianaCarter-yh9oc]

Love your alls Pre-cut am have a ball love your videos I am 75 making my daughter and grand kids 2 Christmas presents and your precuts save me a lot of time thank you both

[@xzytqweo3538]

Donna....bless you! Thank you for all the videos that you and your husband have made to show anyone that they can make a quilt. I love the Irish Chain quilt for many reason and you have inspired me to make one as my very first quilt (I will practice on a small table runner first). I must tell you that this summer my father passed away at the age of 94. I was depressed from the loss and also from taking care of him for over year seeing him decline but he went peacefully in the end. One day I was looking through KZbin and came across your videos and began to watch them. It was like therapy...lol. You brought my spirits up and have encouraged me to get into quilting. Thank you very very much!

[@cynthiastark7258]

Irish chain is so pretty

[@jillpinkerton7046]

Thank you so much. I learned so much and finished mine.

[@sunshinejenny5536]

What a helper!!!! What a good husband!

[@jeanashchuchinov6593]

I’ve always been a fan of the Irish chain

[@Wanda6308]

I love it. I am going to add this one to my to do quilt list

[@stitchgirl78]

Wow, I just realized your husband rotary cuts both left and right handed! What a great skill to possess!

[@cindyhappel7376]

always love your tutorials, Donna! Thank you!

[@zeeprather4120]

I would love to see an update of this, maybe a nice dark steel blue background with light gray accents fabrics??

[@judylee3589]

I Love, love, love this quilt!!!

[@tictactoe325]

I love the colours and design of the quilt.

[@rosalindtaylor9396]

Happy Mother’s Day Ms.Donna

[@melindaanderson2978]

Absolutely love this quilt and your instruction is so amazing. Thanks Donna.

[@reginacline897]

Oh WOW!! I need to make this quilt looks really easy and fun to make.

[@maryricketts7337]

What a nice husband. And a new use for my barely used dumbbells! 😁

[@janetimberlake3302]

Thank You Donna and Matt! I love this tutorial. This is going to be my next quilt. I really get a lot from all of your tutorials!! Thank You so much 😊

[@colson3607]

Very nice. I currently am using jelly roll and cutting yardage. I like the corner stones, I think I might try that. Adds a very nice touch. Thanks for the great idea.

[@dorispowell7643]

You are such an excellent instructor.

[@GeminiPeg]

I love that you put Matt to work on camera! I find it tedious (not relaxing) sewing all those little squares so I would make strip sets and subcut. Can't wait to see the new shop. Keep up the great videos.

[@jordanfabrics8380]

We will also do a video showing how to make the blocks with strip sets. It does save time that way.

[@hollydatsopoulos7998]

You're so lucky your hubby will cut those for you! If I asked my hubby to cut my fabric, he'd turn around and run! Lol!

[@homecookteresagreen]

You can also use the tube quilting method to make an Irish chain. Each sequence would be 1.5" color strip, 1.5" color strip, 2.5" background strip, 1.5 inch color strip, 1.5" color strip. Then sew the two sequences together to make the tube. Cut using the Strip Tube Ruler method. Form the squares to look like an Irish Chain. Like a double chain. I feel that this method saves cutting time.

[@claudettethomas5921]

dont you all love it when this marvelous lady never has to unpick stuff New Zealand is watching you as well thank you to you both

[@terrybuckley96]

Wonderful tutorial as always. Thank you.

[@cynthiastark7258]

I enjoy your tutorials and learn a lot. I have made an Irish Chain. I cut my own 2 1/2" strips but jelly rolls would be so much easier. I made strip sets 2 dark and 1 light in the middle and some with 2 lights and a dark in the middle. It seems like this would be so much easier and faster than cutting all those 2 1/2" squares and putting each small square together.

[@janiceconway5542]

Thanks Jordan I was looking for a great Irish Chain pattern and this the size I wanted. Appreciate all your very informative tutorials and a free download is always great.!

[@sheilaholbrook2516]

I look forward to all the Jordan Fabrics tutorials. I have learned a lot of helpful information that I have started incorporating into my quilt making. Thank you for being excellent teachers. I would love to see a tutorial of the Cozy Quilts pattern Hanging Gardens. Thank you for all your inspiration!

[@jordanfabrics8380]

We are cutting some batik strip sets specifically so that we can show the Hanging Gardens pattern. Look for it in a few weeks.

[@mai45iab]

me too

[@joannecutrone4809]

I love your tutorials. The civil war prints are beautiful. All your fabrics are beautiful. Ever since I saw your videos I am hooked. I watch them all the time. Good tip with the weight. Look forward to more videos.

[@anitamartin7639]

Thank you again for a great tutorial! I got me a dumbbell hand weight, I love using it. It truly helps cutting .

[@andreaprice6717]

Yes! The weight is a huge help..... And it keeps them from gathering dust.... LOL

[@susannesaffles5517]

Very beautiful, would love to make one

[@alicemescher8064]

Another beautiful quilt.

[@jbosdachin6]

love seeing a lefty like me! but I rotary cut both handed!

[@janetehoffman]

It is always a pleasure to watch your tutorials, your style is perfect and I love the fact you and Matt work together like you really enjoy it! Awesome!

[@ramonaalfonso3202]

BEAUTIFUL TUTORIALES 😃👍👍👍👍😃👍👍👍👍

[@chrisgrellier4457]

I couldn't wait to get started ..I cut all my squares and now ready to go.....so easy to follow thank you so much...

[@sunseekerrs3087]

This is such a great tutorial. Actually, all of your tutorials are! I love how you chain piece by leaving the row threads attached. It seems to make everything go together much quicker and keeps everything more organized. I’m going to start doing that. I have learned SO much from you, Donna! Thank you!

[@lindamattson6281]

Love this quilt. I have always loved Kansas Troubles colorway. Thank you for another great tutorial.

[@zonawilson6245]

It's so enjoyable to watch you work, Donna. I always learn something, and both of your joy in fabric and doing excellent work is great. Thanks.

[@deborahmorrison5753]

I sure appreciate your free patterns and I love the Irish Chain!

[@susanmuranetz2196]

Beautfiul quilt, great eye for colour.

[@cindymcfarland4686]

I wish I had a secret weapon, too! Great job!

[@mmiddleton8807]

Thanks again Donna and your "secret weapon":) That quilt and fabrics you used is to die for. I can sit and watch you sew forever!!! Just wonderful tutorials. From Australia

[@maryschiff9580]

Beautiful! I love Civil War prints so this will definitely go on my to-do list. As always, you showed us how to do this accurately and easily. Thanks, Donna!

[@8machines62]

I always thought the Irish Chain was difficult. You have explained it very nicely. You are so wonderful!!

[@taft9317]

Love your organization and sewing process. Really, time saving in how you construct the blocks, then the rows. Thank you

[@priscillamartinez3764]

I'm learning so much from you two,even my cutting has gotten better, and all seams are beginning to lineup perfectly, THANK YOU

[@Saucyakld]

Just what I needed for my scraps to make it into an easy charity quilt. Thank you xxxx

[@cathyphegley7414]

Great secret weapon. He’s very efficient! And not bad lookin’!💕 This quilt looks complicated but it’s so simple! Thank you!

[@helengilkison2034]

Another wonderful tutorial - always interesting and informative. Nice to see Matt too!!

[@IvyMukherjeeSen]

Love all your tutorials. You & your husband does a great job.

[@tessabonvouloir3335]

I have always love the Irish Chain. It was the first quilt I ever made and still a stunning quilt...As always your is absolutely beautiful.

[@aliciaroot2201]

What a Nice Hubby!☺ beautiful quilt❤💜💙💛

[@jodypalm6690]

I can't believe you used that method to make 9=patches! Especially if you suggest jelly rolls! I always strip piece to make 9-patch blocks.

[@sguhl4089]

Thank you SO much for showing your methods of chain piecing! I have chain pieced for years but never like you showed here. I will be changing to your method! Also, thanks for showing the pastel quilt first. That's my favorite! I make LOTS of baby/kid quilts. Again, my sincere thanks.

[@mariefoley1638]

Beautiful!!!

[@Xxgamerguy99]

EXCELLENT!! Thanks sooo much!! Going to do this one!!

[@HRHDMKYT]

This is SUCH a wonderful pattern to highlight even a half jelly roll (sometimes that's all you can find in the quilt shop: a "design roll" some call them). Add some spiffy reads-as-a-solid print for the background (like maybe Art Gallery Fabrics Pine Lullaby or Kaufman Artisan Batiks Patina Handpaints, both available at JordanFabrics.com !) , and you've got yourself a beautiful quilt - easy for beginners, but not plain or basic looking by any means. Thank you SO MUCH for your video with all the cutting and pressing tips, and the free pattern. Donna & Matt, you are both fabulous!! ~Diana K.

[@marisagomez1288]

Yours the best👏👏👏👏👏❤️

[@sallya9104]

Hi Donna and Matt. I love all your tutorials because you show the cutting , piecing and quilting. I've recently bought one of your table runner kits- it's almost too nice to take out of the package- but I will. You make it so easy to follow along the making of all your kits. I just wish I lived in the States so I could come visit your shop. Maybe one day! Xx

[@bbithica26]

Thank you Donna, Matt, and cameraman/woman ... awesome quilt!

[@shellyculver4239]

I am so glad I watched this! Every time I saw one of these I thought it’d be too advanced for me. Thankfully you broke it down into “doable” & I’m actually excited to tackle this one!! Thank you Donna!

[@kellierowe5264]

love your fabric choices, stunning quilt..

[@tinker4278]

I am really excited to see your videos that you are making. Thank you for the lessons and tools to make my own quilts.

[@izabelaedmunds9746]

Love your beautiful shop and fabrics. 🌼🌼🌼 Can you please do a tutorial how to quilt a large quilt without using a long arm (if at all possible)? Nice to see your husband back in the videos and can't wait for your new shop to be opened.

[@elainecone7734]

I so enjoy your tutorial and the Irish Chain quilt you made. Your method of chain piecing blocks together and keeping them together makes so, so much sense. I am very glad I stumbled upon your site. Looking forward to viewing all the tutorials and the new ones to come. Oh, I really love that you spoke about what pattern you decided to use for the quilt. As a fairly new quilter I sometimes find it hard to decide what to use. Thank you.

[@brentharrison143]

Just wanted to thank you for the great method of sewing together a nine patch. So quick and easy and without all the pressing after each step. I used in on a disapearing pinwheel block that I had put aside due to all the pressing and it worked great.

[@DonnaDiskin]

Love, love, love! Kansas Troubles is my all time favorite fabric (made my very 1st quilt using KT) - and with my stash of KT fabrics, this quilt pattern is absolutely perfect. I think I'll probably pick up the bundle you have available and add some of my KT fabrics from 10 years ago as well for even more variety. The quilting is beautiful.

[@catherinenicklaus6674]

Thanks again for the great tutorial! The Irish Chain is one of those quilts on my to do list. Now I think it will happen sooner than later. I also have to thank you both for the cutting lessons. I am dealing with a shoulder injury and I just don't have the strength I need to hold my ruler steady. I am now using one of my weights on the ruler when cutting fabrics. Wow, what a difference it has made for me. It really has saved on my shoulder and my fabric. SINCERE THANKS!!!

[@ronnieskinner3953]

Another great tutorial. I always look forward to what you have to offer. You are truly inspiring. You make me want to run to my sewing room. Thank you.

[@cynthiastark7258]

I do love your method of Chain piecing.

[@gaylelucas5909]

I love how you show to chain piece, leaving the blocks connected to continue on to the next rows. Makes this so easy and quick to make. The fabrics you used look great!

[@ilenemartin5330]

Donna, I love all of your tutorials! I can't wait to make this one!

[@2010klucas]

Beautiful. Love your choice of fabric.

[@trishbrooks5475]

Using the hand weight is one of the best tips!!! Thank you for sharing

[@lynnemartin2291]

Love all your quilts Donna, but this one is special for me as I’m from Ireland. I’ve collected a stack of fabric that I know will be wonderful. I also think I would love it with just 2 colours. Blue and white - my favourite choice. But a mix of pastels would be wonderful for a special 8 yr. girl that I’ve promised a quilt as a birthday present. Thank you for this tutorial. You are a wonderful teacher. 🤩🤩

[@lisareed5669]

I love the way you show the math.

[@sammy27370]

Love this quilt. Look forward to all of your tutorials

[@beckymendoza6307]

Love this pattern! I want to make a scrappy version of this for the solid blocks.

[@user-vb4vf2jd6m]

Ваши видео просто бесценны. Благодарю Вас. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@nanasstitches3188]

Absolutely beautiful, love the pattern and the fabric! And I love your team work in all your tutorials.

[@sherrymihalek7838]

Wow, what a fantastic way to make this quilt. you have made it simple. loving it and will do one soon,

[@himee56]

I enjoy seeing the different color ways that you show. Your videos are very inspiring. I hope to visit your shop one day. Thank you!

[@nancysue3804]

How fun! This is a nice pattern to use in between the complicated quilt projects. Balancing of the brain ! :)

[@nancydebiasio5273]

I know this is an older tutorial but I love the pattern. I’m new to quilting but love it. I’m making a quilt for each of my family members and am going to try this one for my mom. I think she’ll love it for the pattern and the name. My grandmother was Eleanor McBride. Just a bit Irish. Thank you so much for helping me learn and inspiring me. I wish I lived closer to come visit. Im in CT. Long road trip....

[@diannahardy7963]

So exciting. Can't wait to try this. Thank you for your great tutorials.

[@sharonpeck88]

Thanks for this great tutorial on how to make the Irish chain quilt because I didn't know how large I needed to cut the squares or how many patterns to choose. Your explanation looks easy to follow and I plan to make one but on a smaller scale, a lap quilt size. The 6 1/2 inch pieces will make the quilt a lot easier to sew than if the whole thing was the tiny squares so that is also helpful to know.

[@yolacampos7665]

Wow...another great video 😉 thank you for sharing..

[@jennyarmstrong4845]

Hi Donna and family I made the Irish chain several years ago and was so surprised to see how easy it came together. I am now trying to find the patterns for a double and triple Irish chain. Continue your good work as they very very informative and I do enjoy all your tutorials Jenny from Australia

[@mirikosser9303]

YOUR TUTORIALS ARE REALLY GOOD, MAKE THE PROJECTS EASY AND FUN, THANK YOU FROM SUNNY ISRAEL.

[@dianaszolga8746]

Love the Irish Chain, this makes me want to make one!!

[@christinawitkowski9681]

I knew how to chain piece but never keeping more than one block sewn to each other at a time to keep things organized. Thanks for the tip!

[@ritaswenson1603]

Nice job! I enjoy watching your tutorials. Thank you!

[@Sasslette]

Simple yet beautiful quilt!

[@Carylanne927]

love Kansas Troubles fabrics. i have collected a huge bin of yardage as well as Fq and stips. Love this pattern. ty for using these beauties.

[@cindymcfarland4686]

Kansas Troubles fabrics are the best! Beautiful colors, great quality.

[@gsr7772]

Great pattern - your tutorials make it look so easy, they are so well done!!!

[@lylianjettar3637]

[@barbarabadgett3114]
