Making a "Queen Size" Trip Around the World.

[@terryanderson6153]

So beautiful! You simplify all the steps so well. I love that you don’t drag it on forever, but we can watch it as often as it takes to make our own. Thanks!!

[@linhdasagen6498]

Said it again you are one of the best tutorial teachers on KZbin!!

[@merrymabelmarket]

Wow, thanks! So kind.

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

Asking a couple for their two colors is such a good idea.Thanks for sharing

[@merrymabelmarket]

It was a fun challenge.

[@IsaiahThirtyTwenty]

Thank you for demonstrating how to do the TAW. I'm working on a TAW using men's shirts (a request from a friend to use her father's shirts - 19 of them). The strip method wasn't used so I had to sew hundreds of 2.5" squares together but I did create strips using your advise on making "friends" with the colors, then I used your method shown on your baby size TAW (thank you for that). The top turned out beautiful. I'm also attempting to do a quilt-as-you-go method using quadrants or maybe 1/2. To make it even more interesting, the backing is made of 5" squares of the shirt material. I may be doing a lot of un-picking, who knows, but I love the challenge.

[@merrymabelmarket]

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! I'm so glad you were able to have success. I too have made quilts from shirts. It's a lot more work, but pretty great in the end!

[@pamelajune6680]

You are not only a great quilter, you ROCK at the demonstration of quilting, education and directions to this pattern and filming of these videos! Applause!!! Thank you- so beautiful!!!

[@merrymabelmarket]

What a kind comment. Truly. Thank you.

[@kathymcguire8287]

Yes. I love the colors as well and great way to put all together!

[@merrymabelmarket]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Sewwithdebee]

I spend way toooo much time playing with fabric decisions great color choices your team made

[@merrymabelmarket]

Asking for two favorite colors really was a fun way to choose!

[@DH-qz2so]

Just something about your videos...and I will say it again - Love Them! You think like I do...Fabrics having friends... fabric going eh.... meh... when squaring up! They are just so enjoyable, fun, interesting, genuinely one of the best out there for quilting...

[@merrymabelmarket]

Love that! Thank you.

[@norahmcphee4928]

Hi there, I started to learn patchworking when i fell in love with the Around the world and also the log cabin patterns. Both i have yet to make, but i have just my 3rd top to get quilted before i can make my dream ones. This one was a beauty with the pink against the black/brown, as it showed each off to it's best advantage. Thank you for sharing both how you garnered the colours and how you kept changing them around until you got it running in the right sequence for you. Crafty hugs from Norah, Glenochil, Scotland

[@merrymabelmarket]

Norah, I love hearing about your quilting journey! The "Trip Around the World" quilts was one I learned early on when I was learning how to piece. I wish you great success!

[@lindalosier5989]

@@merrymabelmarketI finished my quilt top yesterday and placed it on my queen bed. It's going to beautiful on my parents king size bed. It was laying in the floor on both sides of my bed so I'm going to have to adjust the pattern just enough to make it smaller to work for my bed. Thank you again for the pattern and tutorial! This is truly a beautiful quilt.

My first official quilt was a twin version of this pattern for our 8 year old son. Still holding up after almost 4 decades. Didn’t use nearly as efficient a method as yours to put it all together! I had a local quilt shop tie and bind it.

[@merrymabelmarket]

That is awesome! I do so love the look of a Trip Around the World!!

[@mirtaPR]

Very very pretty 🎉I’ve never made one looks fairly easy 🤔I would have to start w smaller one to start with. Twin/ full how many fabrics for that size ??

It was a fun way to choose them.

[@Ella-49]

This quilt is beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing your method for doing this classic pattern. I would like to know many strip sets would I need if I wanted to make regular full size bed quilt?

[@merrymabelmarket]

i would get grid paper and draw it out the size you want. You can use less colors if you need to. For this sized strip, every square equals 3 inches. Best wishes.

[@KLeonardM]

Brilliant!!! Thanks so much.

[@livinthedream4479]

Most fabric is 44/45 inside how do you get 49 in of length? Great video! I love that you only give what is needed without the endless chatter that so many do. And it’s quick. you get a great overview of the process and I can go back and start and stop later .

[@merrymabelmarket]

Agreed. I count on getting 40-42 myself. I'm not sure what you mean by 49? Maybe something was misunderstood? We do have a pattern to buy on our website if you want more help to make it? www.merrymabelmarket.com/quilt-patterns

[@lisafox2874]

[@DarleneLesy]

beautiful trip around the world quilt.... i would like to make a double size one...what would be the measurements of the fabric needed and how many strips and measurement of strips... Thankyou..

[@merrymabelmarket]

We don't have a pattern for that size. You can get some graph paper and color it in to decide on the fabrics and squares for yourself. Or, you can buy our queen sized pattern and draw lines on our diagram then subtract until you get to the size you want. I usually measure the bed I'm making it for, so that I can aim for a correct size for the particular bed I want to put it on.

[@CM-xk3gr]

Do you switch up which end you start from, to avoid curve?

[@merrymabelmarket]

If that is a problem for you - you sure can. I'm aware of that.......but I don't have a problem with it so much with this bigger pattern.

[@lmingr1]

Great tips! What do you called that handheld cutter? Never seen that before 😊

[@merrymabelmarket]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mV6tdoZsmLuHiJY I talk all about it in this video on tools. About one minute and eighteen seconds into the video... I show cutters.

[@juliefreese5567]

Thank you so much! I love the quilt. Do you know how many strips to cut for a king size quilt?

[@merrymabelmarket]

You can add borders. Our pattern is a Queen Sized Spread (which is really close to a King sized... so you would only need a couple more strips I think. I always draw out a graph of what I want. The Queen pattern is on our website if you want to look there.

[@juliefreese5567]

@@merrymabelmarket Thank you so much!!

[@4diedricks]

Could I make this quilt with larger strip sets, like 4-1/2, 5 or 5-1/2, etc.? What size would you suggest so they work well with the fabric width?

[@merrymabelmarket]

Yes, you can choose the size block. I prefer smaller because the size will affect how many trips you get and the look of the quilt. My best advice is to get some graft paper and draw and color the quilt you want. Yes - some math might be involved.

[@MylifeMyway7283]

Lmao , can you talk a bit slower, please ❣️❣️ I’m confused on how to go 1 layer lower I would have to watch this a bunch more times . That’s how much I love the style😍😍

I would love to see TAW using 5" squares (or precut squares)... can never figure out how many of each color!

[@merrymabelmarket]

I hear ya~!

[@jenmathison2543]

Would this be possible with less fabrics? Maybe 5? Or would I just mess myself up?

[@merrymabelmarket]

It is "totally" possible!! I say do what you want!! Just because the "norm" is 7-10 different fabrics, doesn't mean we should not play around and break the rule if we wanna!! You have my vote to go for it.

[@tazeenkhan7556]

I really want to try this beautiful quilt but not knoladgeble about from where to procure same fabric and of same colour please advise

[@merrymabelmarket]

We sell the pattern on our website. you can just go to quilt shops and look for similar fabric. The fabric I used isn't necessarily current so you can get close, but not an exact match. Best wishes!!

[@gvert4873]

🤩🤩🤩

[@ettabarrett8254]

Can you use 10 different colors?

[@merrymabelmarket]

Yes. The norm is 7 - 10. But you can break that rule anytime you wanna....

[@Pearls1971]

I don’t understand why you laid those four strips down First could you explain please

[@merrymabelmarket]

That is the center and becomes your "guide" strip so you can build the rest of the quilt. OR - maybe you mean the strips that I laid down because they didn't need sewn into a circle to be ripped apart in the same place........because the blocks were already in the right place for the positions I put them in.

[@Pearls1971]

@@merrymabelmarket yes I meant the ones you did not sew in the loop. I think I understand as soon as I finish this quilt I’m working on I wanna make this one it is so pretty. I’m very new to quilting, I can’t read a pattern yet , “sew “😁I watch a video over and over .

[@pattyhanneken3615]

How many colors to use for a king size quilt

[@merrymabelmarket]

Usually TATW quilts have 7-10 colors. But as usual...I vote to break any rules you ever want to. You can make a queen sized and add borders if you want. Or...just make your quilt bigger.

[@pattyhanneken3615]

OK so I can use 10 colors and use border for King size. Thanks

9 different fabrics, 1.5 yards each. How many to do a king? I’m guessing 15. 🤷‍♀️

[@merrymabelmarket]

I've done king quilts with the same 8-10 ish fabrics. You can make the squares bigger.... or you can fmake the squares smaller and have more rounds. Get graph paper and draw out what you want. Or just add borders. We do have a queen pattern for sale at our website, if you think that would help you when designing your own pattern.

[@sjfuqua]

​@@merrymabelmarket I have a question. Instead of cutting each strip and sewing them into loops why can't you see the whole strip set into a tube then cut the strips?

[@suehorn4182]

I slow down the speed. On my screen in the top right there is a wheel icon. Tap on the wheel and you can pick 75% or 50%. I love this woman but I have to slow the speed down. Good luck. Try it.

[@merrymabelmarket]

@@sjfuqua You can do what you asked. I did it early on. It is much more difficult to keep the fabric "straight"... So I prefer the individual sewing.
