Make a "Ribbon Pole" Quilt with Rob Appell of Man Sewing (Video Tutorial)

[@sandrakleiserblack5140]

Well, I don't have a project story, but as I watched this I kept seeing a garden trellis.....I think I'm going to try it with floral prints on a white pole with a sky blue background. What do you think?

[@spoiled4evaami]

That's exactly what I was thinking!! Love it

[@57ncis6491]

Thant combination sounds really nice!! I'd like to see it when you are done!!!

[@normabukoveckas4851]

I love that idea

[@cozyquiltsforscholars1787]

Can't wait to see it. Have you posted it anywhere?

[@lillianaravena4556]

Hi Rob. Thank you for teaching me how to make the ribbon pole. My daughter is a barber and this is what I made for her with your help.

[@gailmagura8940]

I love the idea of cutting of the corners to eliminate the dog ears. I always learn something new from you. 👏👏

[@DureeLindy]

I want to make this with flowers and a pole. Now I have to see if I have the right fabrics in my stash. This is a fun one, thanks so much for the idea.

[@26debsterdots]

One ribbon & pole set would be a great border on any quilt. OOOH And peppermint stick ! In red white maybe pink ! THank you

[@reginafultz7189]

Can’t wait to make this quilt. Trying to decide on fabrics and colors

[@dianne57m.shifthappens73]

Thank you Rob, this block has always puzzled me, you made it look so easy!

[@spoiled4evaami]

I really like how he broke it down too

[@douglaspage2447]

I started this ribbon pole quilt today. Watched the video over and over. Followed to the letter your great tips and like magic it is the best thing I have done in the two years I have been learning to quilt. So easy to do. Thanks Rob. I will see you on March 2nd at the Sewing Expo in Puyallup, wa.

[@paulinehunt4069]

Saw this pattern quite a few years ago. It was called DNA. I believe it was featured in the Philadelphia quilt show. Have always wanted to do it. It has laid in the back of my mind since I first saw it. Glad I watched, going to do it now. 👍

[@57ncis6491]

Rob, I was always afraid of cutting and sewing the triangles, but you have inspired me to try again!!! You are an awesome teacher !!!

[@bjbergmann8871]

What a fabulous tutorial...easy to follow. I made 5 column- 1 of these, one for each holiday

[@elizabethveness7340]

I love the quilting done on this quilt. Compliments it so well

[@jackietucker8942]

I love Pole Quilts. Great way to use up your HST's.

[@sm8045]

Thank you for this pattern. I have a lot of scraps from Christmas patterns to try this. My story of something that started small was I was learning to make quilt blocks that Jeni was teaching in her tutorials and ended up making myself a large lap quilt for cold Colorado nights!

[@ergirl3333]

I made this and it came out SO nice . thank you!

[@lillianaravena4556]

You are an amazing teacher. I saw several other videos prior to yours on the ribbon pattern and it only clicked when you explained it. Thank you.

[@tw1469]

Rob, I know you put out this video 4 years ago but I have to say I LOVE your take on quilting patterns. They are so much easier thay other tutorials, especially for a novice like me. Keep making them. I love watching you. PS I am now a subscriber. :)😀

[@bethcooley9224]

Really great beginner quilt. You are the best!

[@patriot8938]

It looks complicated, but it is not. I love it.

[@deadiemeyers1661]

Rob, I am always intrigued by your bold and colorful design sensibilities. I love HST's and I have just added this pattern to my (ever growing) quilting bucket list! Thanks for another great tutorial!

[@judypurcell954]

I made a one fabric wonder once that was supposed to be a queen, but I got carried away, and ended with a king! I really like your teaching style. You make everything seem easy. Keep up the good work.

[@nicoleseto4876]

Thank you for the tutorial. I have been wanting to do a quilt like this, and I have a couple of partial layer cakes that would work perfectly.

[@mary-annz.reynolds7778]

I wanted to make my daughter a round table topper and saw the dresden star burst on msqc. I bought a wedge (it was my very first quilt attempt and the template looked like the one used in the tutorial). When I put the wedges together it took 40 pieces instead of 20. It turned out to be 36" in diameter. I was so upset but my daughter loved it! (I found the actual dresden template.)

[@reginafultz7189]

It was so so awesome that finally get to meet you in KY at the Jabez quilt seminar. It was the best one I ever attended. Keep giving your testimony. It sure blessed me.

[@MACoutureCrafting]

I'm new to guilting & I'm teaching myself to quilt. My first quilt I chose a jelly roll race so I could learn to sew a quarter inch consistently. It turned out my first quilt fits a cal king & I quilted it on my domestic with like an 8 inch throat. Never again!

[@bettykasischke3665]

Hi, Rob! I missed you last week. Love this quilt and the Greek key type quilting. I've never seen a ribbon pole quilt but it's stunning.

[@mommaice]

I've been waiting so long for someone to do this in quilt form. THANK YOU!!!!!

[@cindymcfarland4686]

Very easy pattern. I used smaller squares because I wanted a table runner. I used Christmas colors. Turned out super nice!

[@lamarlatrell5045]

this is a wonderful beginner tutorial

[@msdony308]

You always do a great job explaining to us simple brain fog sew-ers. ! ha ha. thanks so much,. like the great tips too. thank you.

[@beckyezra1]

Thank you so much, i have a lot of half triangles as leaders and enders, now i know the best pattern to use them for. thanks again. bless.

[@kristenmcguire5959]

Oh a project that grew: I had so much fun creating the Pathfinder quilt the Midnight quilt show did that I started up another quilt top using completely different material for a completely different look, and Then my daughter wanted to make something so we got her going on the same quilt block pattern now too, LOL - it's good though it helps to really seal in the technique. Thanks for this video I saved it for a future quilting project.

[@becunningham8850]

Enjoyed this tutorial. You have a gift of teaching

[@zoannewilcox6112]

A quilt of Valor in red white and blue? Rob, you are contagious to watch! I always enjoy your tutorials and your "recipe cards" AND I really really like the geometric quilting design used! Ty

[@susanmei9980]

Rob, will you please tell us how many of each block is needed to make a quilt the size you did? Because your columns are much longer than on the diagram, and since we can't see the whole quilt, . . .we cant tell. Thx. Great design, BTW.

[@annlogan1590]

Love your videos. Great quilt.

[@patriciakamp8013]

Every project I do seems to get larger, I create my own patterns & always buy a little extra fabric, maybe I should follow one for a change...no, I have too much fun. Love your videos Man Sewing 😍

[@spoiled4evaami]

I have always made my own patterns. I use s spiral note book. But have upgraded to grid paper for the real special ones. I so cannot follow a pattern. It's too hard. But my math skills SUCK! LOL good luck to ya! Kari

[@patriciakamp8013]

Hi Kari, Me too, I have every size grid with allot of colored pencils.@@spoiled4evaami

[@michelletothill8551]

It is amazing how many different designs can be made with HST. I love this quilt and can understand why you kept going. I need a quilt for next month and this would work for my project.

[@janmacdonald4990]

This is really pretty! I see it’s an older video but I really like it the design and the quilting design is really neat with the pattern.

[@suzisears3490]

That would make an awesome barber pole quilt! 💈💈💈

[@faitharrowood8001]

This is the first ribbon quilt that I can actually SEE the ribbons! The contrast is perfect. I wonder what would happen if changed the top color in the center pole, would it look like they were spinning, or just be visual chaos. I must try it to see

[@m.a.trenary7293]

Had to do a "third" comment. If I had read the instructions right the first time!! I am making 3 - Christmas table runners. Hoping my sister's will like them. Thanks again for a great tutorial.

[@CheriGV]

Once, while working on a quilt that was a diagonal set, I was arranging and rearranging my blocks ( I didn't have a design wall at the time so I would either work on the floor or walk back and forth between bedroom and sewing room). The quilt just kept growing as I was sewing rows & columns. I believe the pattern that was following said queen size - the quilt now hangs nicely down the sides and almost to the floor of my California king size bed!

[@dianel685]

Hey Rob, small project growing big? LOL started making a kidsquilt for my little kid, with a feathered star in the middle, but after adding borders until I was satisfied with the looks of it, it now more than covers a twinsize bed.... but she loves it and it can stay with her for a long time. Greetings from Germany to you

[@deborahgibson6538]

OOO & WEE THANX SO-OO MUCH 4 PART 2 OF ADVANCED MSQC RIBBON DANCE "MAN SEWING" STYLE. IT'S ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT N SOLID HST. SO-OO FULL OF FUN. I ADORE THE "MAZE FORMATION " THE LONGARM QUILTER DID IT MAKES IT LOOK SO-OO DIMENSIONAL

[@pfive555]

You do make the coolest quilts!

[@aidamaizar3538]

Thanks dear....I appreciate ur work...I will try to make it....

[@terivernon1722]

I’m missing your weekly video! This Ribbon Pole is the latest I can find and it is from last week.

[@CarolynHester-j4c]

I’ve always wanted to but was equally as afraid to do something like this.. but now I understand it and will definitely try it.. 1/2 square triangles who’d of thunk it would be that easy!!

[@sewcrazybaker]

I love this pattern! Thank you for sharing it with us!

[@spoiled4evaami]

I really love it hun!! I personally love it as a table runner too! I was making as n infant quilt for my newborn granddaughter and it turned out to be as twin!! LOL!! Xx Kari

[@daplay1282]

I resized the squares and used Sonic the Hedgehog fabric, the kid LOVED IT❤❤

[@plmalin]

Great quilt, have wanted to make for quite awhile now. Thank you! Missed you last week!!

[@pepperh3697]

Love how easy this one is and looks great!

[@ratchelmcmahon9175]

This is the first ribbon pattern I have seen with the pole!! I wasn’t a fan of the ribbon pattern until now. I might try a table runner first too, but it will have to be in some fabric that can be easily sought - just in case 😛

[@TheDrBautista]

Love this quilt! I need to mention that you used accuracy but I think you want precision and accuracy. All the seams need to be 1/4 inch (accuracy) and close together (precision). Very cool quilt. I think I want to make it look like DNA!

[@darlenenelson215]

Thank you Rob, you made it look simple to put together :) Love your fabric! Love your videos :)

[@bjen72]

I am currently working on a cow quilt that I am doing for my Aunt and one block started out just a simple cow head outline and I decided to add cow spots. I am quilting approximately 128 spots on 6 blocks.

[@lurettathelwell709]

I tried it came out beautiful ❤️😚

[@firstflamingos8261]

Love the way you think! Awesome Quilt!

[@nicolejensen9965]

Last year i started making my husband a lap quilt, by the time i finished it, it was a king size quilt for our bed. It's the one that got away

[@annwilliams2075]

Love this quilt pattern. Pleased to see this weeks tutorial after missing last Monday’s. 😊😊

[@jillcaperton1568]

What a unique quilt!

[@sewandcraftwithnuha]

I'm gonna try this 😍

[@aidamaizar3538]

Thanks dear.It is really wonderful...I think I am going to try it as soon as possible...

[@cherylreadio9308]

How did I miss this video, this is exactly what I was looking for.

[@lymezombie6580]

I'd be terrified of all those bias edges! I would have to make those HSTs, the old way. You are braver than me. 🙂

[@NickyMercado]

You are so creative, perfect and fun!

[@denisem6754]

Thank you Rob, I've been looking for a pattern that I could make with my daughters for their grandmother.

[@boxgirl51]

Nice table runner with this pattern as well.

[@kathywrycha3203]

Thanks very neat design. I’m going to shrink it down for a table runner.

[@wandacoleman2497]

LOVE the idea of the garden trellis. Think I'd do a strip set for the colored half of the color/background block to keep the ribbon from having such sharp "elbows".

[@debwarren4174]

That sounds lovely

[@Robgra]

I love this and want to make it with fun fabrics. Thank you! Missed you last week.

[@judybarillaro5426]

Love this!

[@richies6420]

What a fun quilt!

[@dawnmason9558]

My link from Zelda pixel quilt was supposed to be a "small" wall hanging but by the time I had stitched all 600 2.5" squares together it was mahoosive. I LOVE this pattern. I think it would lend itself to even tiny HSTs for dolls quilts.

[@susiemeadows9838]

Dawn Mason I made a Steve from Minecraft out of 1.75” squares for my son’s bed. I feel your pain- literally!

[@dawnmason9558]

@@susiemeadows9838 He now wants a Mario to match but he had to wait 5 years for Link guess how many for Mario lol

[@susiemeadows9838]

Dawn Mason That sounds about right to me!

[@niftyneedle95628]

I’m thinking that this pole sewn in a single “row” would also make an awesome border for a quilt!!

[@mlbrooks852]

niftyneedle95628 using this as a border right now. Do you have the placement for the corner blocks? Thank you

[@kimberlywalders6063]

Wow love this quilt. Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@stephanniemetz3610]

Very cool!

[@TheDoctorangie]

This would be a good stash buster with different colored ribbons on each pole columns

[@khyleeoshea]

You are amazing 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@karenweiman8036]

Finally got the fabrics I am going to use for making this quilt. Can't wait to get started. Thanks, Rob.

[@janetehoffman]

Great pattern

[@nighatjavaid9353]

Beautiful

[@Bluechowmom]

Thank you for this pattern I can't wait to try it

[@bethbriggs9629]

You asked about projects getting out of control, well, made a Halloween quilt for a friend to use in the car during the fall. It was supposed to be a little smaller than a throw, ended up being for a twin size bed, almost full! Had too many Halloween fabrics to choose from! LOL!

[@andrewbottrell1048]

Great video. Entertaining and informative.

[@ArdenKuhn]

Thank you for this video. I am aiming for a queen size quilt with this design. Go big or go home :-)

[@JaneDoe-vi5yc]

Hi, Rob. Have you ever made a puffy biscuit quilt? I don't know what they're called. Each square is stuffed? They are cool. Maybe not complicated enough for your channel. Loved your firewood hauler. I am making one.

[@stephanieashworth6317]

Thanks for the printable! I look forward to making the UNDER MACINE CADDY, one for myself and one for my sister

[@monicashahatit8211]

I’ve always had that pucker at the end, I was beginning to believe it’s just me, so thanks.

Thx great video and so easy.

Thanks Rob “love the idea good job

Great pattern!!!

rob...I have been watching you for awhile & wanted you to know how much I respect your journey. I am trying to make a quilt for each of my 8 grandchildren's "special" b-days....ie: birth. 5 yr, 16th, 18th & 21st. anyway I would like to know how many 10" square I will need to make the ribbon pole...I come up with 12 of each color?? If I get this finished soon, I'll send you a pic...thnx for all the tips & trick you share, not to mention all the great pieces you make...thank you again

[@Angela10226]

I was so excited thinking that this quilting design was the Greek Key and then I saw that there is a long one as well. I guess I have to try to find out the name of this one, perfect for this quilt.

[@debblws1961]

Just found your channel after watching a Missouri Star video and she mentioned you. 💕 Love this pattern. Perfect for a masculine quilt. Thanks for precise directions. Question for you…what is the name of the metal seam guide on your machine? Do you have a link to purchase it?
