Make a "Fields From Above" Quilt with Rob Appell of Man Sewing (Video Tutorial)

[@christinasullivan9304]

Oh my god every time I’ve flown somewhere. I’ve always thought looking out the window looked like flying over a huge patchwork quilt. Love this.

[@aloras405]

Christina Sullivan me too!

[@SuperTexasBlues]

what a COOL idea! being a student pilot AND a sewing noob... this is gonna be my first real project SUBSCRIBED!

[@kathyjohnson7314]

Wow, I saw this video today ( I’m fairly new to quilting) and knew I HAD To make this quilt. Three years ago, my best friend and I traveled to Ireland, it was a wonderful time, and this quilt looks so very much like my first view of Ireland from the air. In fact I may make 2 of these, one for my dear friend and one for me, it will be a perfect friendship quilt. Thank you so much for this video.

[@ThereseHinson]

when I used to travel, and it was way before I began to quilt I used to look out the window and think to myself how amazing all the patches and just everything how it was outlined...and all the beautiful colors... I never knew...Thank you Rob...

[@pjturner57]

Easy to follow as usual. Doesn't hurt that you are easy on the eye as well.

[@carolinepark4033]

Just found you and love this. Love your relaxed free style approach. Have wanted to make a map quilt for ages.

[@suzisaintjames]

Great job, today, Rob! I might make my roads a bit wider to accommodate all of the HotWheels cars and trucks going up and down those country roads! Blue for irrigation ditches and maybe a few appliqué ponds etc. WOW! What a great starting point for inspiration! Thank you! And Happy New Year! 🎉 ❤🌅🌵

[@happybuela]

I love this so much!

[@adelechicken6356]

This is so very much like the patchwork of fields from a plane, you have done a great job and makes me want one, but maybe small wall hanging. Some of the comments mention adding a river or two and ponds. I'd probably add 1 field where there is a circle from the irrigation sprayers, I loved seeing them from the air. Thanks for always doing a great job of teaching and finding new designs.

[@talenagebbie9790]

That is fabulous Rob! I'm from Iowa and get to enjoy the fields of many colors. Thank you for sharing.

[@bnyzhny]

Oh, just WOW!!! 🥰👏 Luuuuove how you think ❤️ and am ESPecially fond of your more complex quilt design adventures such as this! CANNOT WAIT to make this design - GENIUS, yet AGAIN. Thank you 😍

[@stephm281]

Really loving this one. Also great for St. Patrick’s Day!. Wishing You and your Family a Happy and Healthy New Year!!

[@kathymorrison1952]

This one’s going on the list! The area of California where I live looks just like this coming into the airport, though with a river, too. Thanks!

[@carolynblakeney966]

I haven't gotten brave enough to do improvisational/freestyle yet, but this looks like too much fun and is now on the bucket list!

[@patriciaguevara8793]

Perfect for my son-in-law who is a private pilot. May take me a while because I’m dyslexic and challenged with angles, but yahoo! Going to order my fabric this week!

[@ManSewingVids]

You can do it!

[@maryannecadd796]

I really love this idea...can't wait to give it a try!

[@lesleygilbert1945]

Love this quilt - I can see it as a scrappy/improv style quilt - thanks for a fresh idea :)

[@pamelacasey1699]

Love this quilt! Looks like my view flying into SLO! Central Coast is my home.

[@angelikaimnaehglueck]

[@barbaradelarwelle7280]

Wow Rob, Those look like so much fun...Whimsical even. I also love my cordless iron!! Thank you Rob and have a Wonderful New Year!!

[@ellenhofer3343]

This looks like so much fun. It makes me want to take a trip so zo cam take some photos of the farmlands around me from the air & see if I can duplicate it to a certain amount

[@AudreyAL6]

[@lesleymink9470]

Genius!

[@imogenethomas1138]

I’m excited to try this! My husband and I were just talking about the perspective of trees, rivers and fields from drone footage. I wonder if I can add a river to my quilt?

[@ennykraft]

Great idea. I would do this the same way Rob did with the Paintdrip quilt.

[@ManSewingVids]

That sounds like a great idea Imogene!

[@aloras405]

That would be a fantastic idea!

[@sandythomas9622]

I was just watching Genius-Picasso tonight. He was a cubist artist for awhile. He hated to fly but one time they got him up in a plane. They told him to look outside and he was amazed because it looked like a cubist painting.

[@dawnmason9558]

Happy New Year Rob May 2019 bring you much joy, good health & plenty of wealth.

[@lynno7725]

Cool!

[@richies6420]

I know u said it’s easy, but it looks complicated. But I do love your tshirts!!!

[@joyknysh8548]

I cannot seem to find the link to the free pattern. I may be harder at seeing than I thought I was. I love your videos and patterns. Very creative. Thank you for sharing your skills with us.

[@huisuk]

Thanks

[@MountainAndMeadowLLC]

Yep, looks like Lancaster PA!

[@miawallsten4069]

Hi! I love this quilt! I would like to do one but maybe in other colors. How many 10x10in fabric squares do you need? How many of each color?

[@RedWolfScraps]

Does MSQ carry the magnetic seam guide?

[@SuperTexasBlues]

do you backstitch each of the seams on each of the blocks?

[@shavinmccrotch9435]

⚡️😍⚡️

[@amethystsamia]

Love this quilt. I can also imagine it in other colorways for an abstract sort of quilt. Question...what happens to all the fabric you cut up in the demonstration and then shove it aside? I can’t imagine trying to straighten all those strip & block sets out to make another quilt, but I would have to try. Just curios. 😊😊😊

[@margarethanson50]

Neat block of quilt, but I never flew the plane see the view , and where did you get that thing guide keep straight of sewing on your machine

[@vandastorie9189]

please where do we get that edge guide I cannot seem to find one

[@elizabethmveilleux7153]

Do you sew with a scant 1/4" ?

[@teresasandefur6792]

I love the not traditional quilts. Make a interesting piece of art.
