I don't care how old or new the video is, I love them all. I watch a lot of KZbin in a big range of topics and interests. Your channel is my favorite! I am so excited when I get a notification that you have a new one. It would be a dream come true to get to Oregon and visit. I might need to wear a bib with all the drooling I would do in that sea of beautiful fabric and quilts. 😄 No, no actual drooling. Thank you for all you and Matt do to bring so much joy to so many people.

[@rohinichandrashekar9508]

I know I am getting here after many years. But I have just made a quilt using your tutorial and pattern for Project Linus and wanted to say thank you. I am a tentative quilter, but absolutely loved making this, and the kite tail border is adorable. I made it with my blue, white and red scraps with a bit of grey and charcoal thrown in and I hope some young person will love it.

[@jordanfabrics8380]

It sounds beautiful! I am sure a young person will love!

[@BrendaH289]

I loved it the first time and I still love it !

[@dianeetcheverry6452]

I always learn something from your tutorial. Now I understand need for certain sized borders. And I need to hear your tips and instructions more than once to have them sink in. I am a 30 year retired teacher and we were instructed to repeat instructions 30 times to make sure the students comprehended. I hear you every time. Thank you. Your photographer is the best!

[@wilycat5290]

You produce the best quilting tutorials on KZbin. I really appreciate your work......both you and Matt.

[@trishtestrow3366]

This is a lovely quilt and shows the fabric beautifully. You make a complicated pattern,not so complicated. I really loved your tutorials. Thank you.

[@aysee_8998]

I love it. Incredibly beautiful ❤

[@marionbarber984]

Nov. 14, 2023. I just watched this video, Donna. Love the fabric and pattern. Kite tail border is nifty. I used this method recently to make little pinwheel blocks. I binged watch several older tutorials this afternoon. Thank you! Marion in Gresham

[@Ethnography1000]

Cutting and discarding the double triangles. From the pieced rectangles has always bothered me, but by increasing the seam to 3/8” and making the smaller 1/2 square triangles into a kite tail design kid both economical and inspirational. THANK YOU! Slainte!

[@Kikidevo1966]

Donna ~ you knocked this out of the park! I’ve just discovered your videos and I’m sending all of my shopping your way now! Your family is truly inspirational ~ God bless you!

[@elizabethjury2930]

Hi Donna, what a beautiful quilt. You make it so easy, your teaching methods and explanations are brilliant, you are a natural teacher. Thanks for sharing the pattern.

[@lindabyng5158]

Love how bright the quilt turned out

[@smallfootprint2961]

Awesome work. You're very talented. Thanks for posting.

[@pjstitcher8364]

What a fabulous way to get two for one with no waste. Even if I don't need another half square triangle for the quilt I am working on I will be using this method and save the extra for another quilt. I am so glad to find your channel. Thank you so much for sharing. Happy Stitching! Pam C

[@carolcreations26]

I loved this floating star pattern the first time you did it and, I'm loving it again. It is so versatile tose with special star centers and just as you did it. Thank you for sharing your talants with us. Stitch on Quilters. Carol

[@ecoquilting7077]

I love the way Donna uses the extras for borders (or pillows, table runners...) in so many of her designs! They add a beautiful unique touch while encouraging creativity. I rarely buy fabric (I use cut-up clothes, etc. and gleaned yardage), but if I did, I would do just what I do anyway-- avoid waste-- which is what Donna's cute bonus projects do.

[@doyoder2776]

I cant believe I just won this in your giveaway!!!! Im so excited and cant wait to get it. I cant thank you enough for your generosity. You guys rock!

[@bevgilby7073]

You are the best designer! I love your quilts. You are so kind to have a free download for poor people.

[@angiesewtherapy6628]

Awesome tip about pressing the geese before cutting! Donna is the best teacher!!!

[@kathleengleeson9753]

Another wonderful pattern Donna. Thank you for giving us so many brilliant ideas as always at Gordon's fabrics

[@kathleengleeson9753]

So sorry for my mistake, you are Jordens fabrics.

[@dixieehrhorn8254]

Any time I have the opportunity to speak about my abilities, I give Donna Jordan credit for being the one that has most helped me improve my piecing skills. Thank you, Donna, for your wonderful videos.

[@lindaschenk1814]

Best way I've seen to use Kaffe fabrics! Thanks, Donna!

[@angelaspringett1262]

Again another wonderful quilt. I especially love the borders

[@sundog3150]

wowser what a great way to make those half square triangles!!!!!!

[@barbaradelarwelle7280]

Donna that is fantastic...I love it!!! I love your tutorials too. I'm always amazed at how quiet your machine sews. Oh my gosh...those scissors bring back the memories. My step dad worked at a tire and rubber factory. The scissors he used to cut the rubber off the rolls when building tires looked exactly like those. I'm 63 and still have a pair of them.

[@conniehusband1365]

This quilt is a prizewinner. Both for simplicity and beauty! Thanks again Donna!

[@janruiz6610]

Thank you so much for this tutorial & free pattern. Your instructions are so clear & love your time saving cutting method & how you allow for SA on the flying geese.

[@leahdonovan7833]

I'm not a big fan of the grunge line but I love how it looks with the Kaffe prints.

[@sarahcogan2144]

The kite tail border absolutely makes the quilt!

[@drmichaelelinski6992]

Beautiful quilt mixing grunge fabrics with Kaffe Fassett’s super intense colorful prints. Makes for great contrast.

[@loveart4007]

Love it!! Kaffe Fassett Fabrics...Fabulous!!

[@dominobeauty]

Fabulous teaching great video technique, so clear. I am learning so much from you. Thank You Donna. from UK

[@janelleauckland5637]

This probably sounds a bit "obvious", but I "think" it every time I watch one of your videos so I'm just going to come right out and say it. Donna, you make me feel like I WANT to quilt. I watch all your videos and appreciate the time and effort you, Matt, and your co-workers put into your work. Thank you and best wishes from Australia.

[@greenpalmTX]

My favorite of yours. Everyone is soo crazy for Kaffe Fassett, and I won’t argue. But they all kind of look like a Las Vegas Casino wall-to-wall carpet that’s designed for you to lose your dropped change on! I don’t typically like quilts with a lot of them mixed. This is an ideal balance. Well done with the color play!!

[@shondaleeordonez3851]

I watch you nonstop as you are my absolute favorite quilter and designer. Your store setup is my dream. Congratulations to you for your amazing success!

[@annebeck366]

Wow! Love, Love Kaffe patterns & fabric. You hit the nail on the head with this one. Another "gotta have" project. Thank you.

[@marshawallace7522]

I LOVE the way you designed the stars to float so we don't lose any points if our seams are slightly off.

[@Evelyngrj]

Donna!!! I am breaking my brain trying to get the perfect configuration on how to cut these with fat quarters. I must be an utter ditz! I actually had to sew two waste pieces together to get the star legs on some. I'm channeling my fore-mothers who were resourceful and creative (and self-forgiving?) and did whatever it took to get that piece together! Can you create a cutting diagram for fat quarters? That would be so stash-friendly since I fall in love with fabrics in fat quarter bundles and then find the pattern I want to do later. I've been doing this with a bunch of not so fabulous fabrics just to figure out the cutting diagram and have yet to grock it!

[@annasipinski2468]

Beautiful, beautiful! colorful and lively! Love this quilt! I have been watching your videos and have to say that you have special gifts. Your able to instruct, communicate and have brilliant ideas and I can go on ... Thanks for sharing your knowledge and gifts, Donna! Anna

[@joane8651]

Great video, Donna, especially loved your commentary afterwards , thanks for taking the time to do that.

[@dianeernest1660]

Donna, you are such a good teacher. I like your star quilt. I’d like to make one. Thank you so much, you are so awesome !!

[@christinewatson8831]

Greetings from New Zealand - My favourite quilt so far - I discovered you on the first day of lockdown and have averaged three videos a day - You are the best teacher - you make it sound doable - I can't wait to fly over and come and see your shop in Grants Pass and buys heaps of fabric and patterns - Thank you for being part of my lockdown memories - Now just to decide on which quilt to make

[@paulfrels3590]

GROOVY and psychedelic! Love!!!

[@jomercerlmt5727]

I love the way you chain piece to build a web of the block--excellent organizational trick!

[@landonbrown6568]

You’re a hit! I grew up around quilting! My great Grandmother my Grandmother my mother and aunts used to set around a quilt frame hanging from the ceiling and hand stitch quilts. The heavy hug you cotton batting make you feel better when you’re cold or sick quilts! I appreciate you and your family for your contribution to America and the fine art you produce!

[@Australia5074]

Donna. Thanks again for your generosity in time and the free pattern. I've got a lot of large print children's fabric and this pattern will be ideal to use them in a charity quilt. Keep up the good work - your tutorials are fun to watch because you are obviously enjoying what you do.

[@andreayoung911]

Hi Donna, Just finished making this quilt from your wonderful quilt kit. Just like you said, it was a lot of fun to do. Everything was precisely cut and made it easy to put together. Looking forward to starting another project using one of your precut kits.

[@rechelleivy9350]

Gorgeous!

[@carolhavens5158]

Brilliant use of second half square!

[@TheBethoula]

Oh my, the colors are so gorgeous! And that boarder is so cool looking! Thank you 😊

[@eogma7848]

Oh this is a good one! I'm going to make it soon.

[@sushmaprabhu1093]

Superb.loved it.will try this

[@marthagriffin7149]

As always, another great tutorial. One can tell you enjoy what you do. Thank you.

[@asmanaved1280]

hello ma'am i love ur tutorials and the materials and colours of the material which u use r very nice

[@chrislittebrant5235]

Hi Donna, I am finally sewing this pattern and I’m loving it ! 🥰 I waited to gain more experience as I only have six mos making quilts. I Love K colors & Fasset Prints. It’s coming together great. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve watched this video and boy am I thankful I have it to refer too. You have really helped me improve my sewing skills. Thank you so much for sharing. 👍💗💕💜❤️💖🥰 Take care and God Bless, Chris-Raleigh NC

[@gotraciewin7724]

I am absolutely obsessed w/ your tutorials! This quilt is so gorgeous.... but all of yours are! Thanks for posting each step & sharing your helpful insights & suggestions. Love love!!

[@ruthduren4681]

WOW....love those colors and the design

[@teresalong3010]

[@caroljohnson7286]

Love her explanation

[@toniomalley5661]

Just lovely thank you

[@gbyrd1970]

You make it look so easy¡!!

[@tlsnana9539]

Brilliant!! I have always hated wasting the little triangles. I think I will double stitch from now on and save for borders. Thank you. I have been wanting to make a quilt for my grandson. I think he'd love this. And then, I have t2 uncles who are WWII vets. Am so afraid I won't get their quilts finished but imagine this pattern in patriotic colors. Wish we were closer to your shop. Your classes are so great. I appreciate the time you put into this.

[@jordanfabrics8380]

Great idea! I will try one in patriotic fabrics too!

[@wglwrm100]

Mat and Donna, I’ve watched every video and can’t wait for the next one. You’ve taught me so much, I now finger press everything, lol. Someday I’ll make it down to Grants Pass from Tacoma. Love, love this one. Valerie

[@jordanfabrics8380]

We would love to see you in the store any time!

[@laurahyde5566]

I believe Grunge should be in everything! I never thought of using it with Kaffe. I'm not a huge Kaffe fan simply because I don't know how to make it work for me, but I will definitely be making one of these. Love it!

[@Zine2me]

Such a fantastic quilt! Amazing job. Love all your things.

[@deborahcleaveland3188]

Will you ever have something like this again.? I realize you probably don't have anymore of the exact material but something comparable. I am going to make the heart table runner next but I would really enjoy making one of these with bright colors after that. The Lone Star quilt was still not exactly what I was looking for. And, yes, you are the best teacher out there, hands down.

[@jordanfabrics8380]

I don't think we are re-cutting this exact one, but we have a free download so you can gather and cut the fabrics yourself here: jordanfabrics.com/pages/kaffe-star-quilt-pattern

[@AngelaPalleschi]

Hi Donna, thank you really so much for sharing your huge skills and experience. I love this fabric selection, so lively and bright. Sorry not having your store near me, I'm in Italy. I enjoy a lot all your tutorials, you're a great teacher!

I love your floating stars! I bought the North Star table runner last Tuesday, got it Friday and sewed it up today. I just need to quilt it and bind it. Thank you so much for putting together these kits. Love them!.

[@marthahuelsmann9777]

Love it love it love it. The floating stars are my favorite now. Can't stop making them!

[@bethkoch11]

Gorgeous quilt! And let me say that I LOVE your floating points! Points are a particular bugaboo of mine, and this way they always come out perfect. I've noticed them on a couple of your other designs - I tried them and they always look super.

[@daniellegrazianistone4632]

Oh my goodness! You at so efficient with how you sew and cut! I love it!

[@debe8890]

Love his one! Great choice for the backing fabric, it mimics the kite tail border.
