Love the hand detail on the matching cushion! ADORE this quilt, and best ever tutorial on a scalloped edge and binding. Have only ever made bias for applique. Great quilt. Hugs, Chel 🌸

[@PiNkSpRinkLe1]

Oh wow, that scalloped binding looks better than my usual straight binding.

[@joannpetty8220]

Moved and haven't got my sewing room( she-shed) up and going and reading this find you are stepping down.. Natalie and Misty are awesome... just a shout out to Natalie..you look amazing.

[@bitsnbobs7308]

I've seen lots of cutting bias binding for quilts and cut it but this is a much easier system. The other methods left me so scared to start cutting and possibly ruining my fabric. I'll use this method now. Great video. Quilt block, scalloped edges and bias binding. Thank you.

What a great tutorial!!!! Definitely going to miss you when you are gone. Thank you for showing the correct way to do scalloped edges. I have always wanted to do those, but I was scared of trying it. 🌹

Love the quilt. The 'bonus' pillow was absolutely charming and I love how the love between Jenny and Natalie shines through.

Hello Jenny and Natilie. This was a fun video. I have a ton of fat quarters and am excited to make this. I have been trying to figure out what to my for my sister in-law and thought wow, what a wonderful gift idea. I like the idea of the bag because I can make a quilt and place it in the bag. I can also make some pillows. You gave me some wonderful projects. Thank you to you both. I appreciate you both so much.

This pattwrn is also a good stashbuster for all kind of scraps. I truely love the idea of a scalloped border and the quiling idea of the pillow. I think even the quilting of that pillow would look gourgous on a quilt like this.

I love this. Looking forward to making it fabric ordered last week. It’s in a bundle so takes a few days longer. However, have other projects ahead if this. I am going to try scalloped edges on my goose track quilt which is a gift.

Natalie thank you for sharing an alternative method for rulers. Not everyone can afford a ruler for every project. I love the pillow!

[@bethkoch11]

I agree! I have too many rulers already, but I have a 24" ruler that will work for this perfectly. As a matter of fact, a while ago I fiinished a quilt and scalloped the edge, but I never had the nerve to sew on the binding, so it's been sitting unfinished for a long time. I'm going to try to see if I can complete it.

Hey, the girls are doing just GREAT. Jenny needs the break as she's been at it for sew long. She taught the Girls well. ❤ Them all.

[@UndertheNeedle282]

I feel like even after the two years she's not coming back to the screen the way she is now. She will be missed but she's work worked long and hard to build something and it's time for her to enjoy and pass the torch. I will say I don't know that I'll watch as much and that's unfortunate. There's a charisma that Jenny has that no one else does. It took an entire team of on-screen talent to replace her which is a testament to her on-screen presence.

[@saramccool4899]

I totally agree! Her presence brings the enthusiasm​. The girls are great, they're just not Jenny. @UndertheNeedle282

[@whitneyhoffman5749]

Jenny, Natalie, and Misty are you using a pencil to mark with, and how do I stop my rulers, & Template's from moving, while I cut the block piece's out ?

[@franlyman1]

This was such a great video. I really like this quilt and although I have that scallop ruler, I have not used it yet. I love when I feel like it's not being rushed. The step-by- step instructions are always helpful. I've been quilting for years now, but I learned most about making quilts in the beginning, from watching Jenny and the Triple Play videos over the years and still learn at least one new thing with every video. I find it very helpful to see the different ways things can be done in the Triple Play videos, as well as videos with Jenny and Natalie. Thanks, ladies!❤

[@WaterfallFW]

I love how relaxed you both are compared to when you first started years ago. I’ve always loved watching your videos but they are so much better now. It’s like being in the room with you.

Thank you all for all of your enthusiasm and teaching different ways of doing things.

Thank you Jenny & Natalie for showing how to square blocks and make bias binding using a regular ruler in addition to what specialty rulers are available. Many of us don't have some of the specialty rulers especially new quilters. I love the scalloped borders and you take the mystery out of making bias binding and how to sew it to scallops. Great video and I love this quilt❣️

[@patstrawhouse4005]

Hello Jenny and Natalie! This is a gorgeous pattern for a layer cake! When I first learned to quilt, I found the continuous bias binding from a tube method. It is really quick, because it just requires 2 seams. As Natalie suggested, it would be convenient if the scallop ruler came with an acrylic quarter circle template instead of the paper template found in the book. Jenny makes applying the binding to the scalloped edge so easy. Thank you, and stay well! Muskoka ON 🇨🇦

[@Dbatem]

I used the tube method too, easier than sewing a bunch of strips together too

How do you pick a pattern for your fabric? Example just bought layer cake Moda, Land of Enchantment. What'd be a good pattern?

[@marilynm7663]

Natalie &Jenny; When you use the rulers esp. the “clearly perfect slotted” if you set the triangle with the point headed to the right side (Jenny’s to the left) and square … one is not cutting backwards. Both angles are headed away from your body. Just step to the side and trim!

[@cathywilson3551]

there is a method for continuous bias binding- start with a square of fabric. cut in half. put your straight edges together- rhombus- mark your strips- put angled sides together- offset them by one mark. sew-you should have a tail on both sides-continue to cut on the line with your scissors. it will come out in one long strip;.
