Quilt as you go Kantha technique by Terry Rowland

[@ubiquitousLeees]

This tutorial is perfect! Your instruction is so succinct, and what a clever method. I got my first two rows sewn together and started the stitching on a whim last night, and I really enjoyed it. I had no idea what a Kantha quilt was before your video popped into my feed last week, and now I’m hooked. I hope something wonderful happens for you today! 🖤

[@terryrowland398]

Thanks Lisa please share a picture with me when you are done Thisbis not a traditio a Kantha but I love how it turns out

[@ubiquitousLeees]

@@terryrowland398 I will send a picture in 84 years when it’s complete! 😹

[@ubiquitousLeees]

Jokes aside I do intend to have it as a nice lapghan for summer evenings on the porch, so fingers crossed it’ll be more like 84 days. 🤞🏼

[@liammorris7989]

What a beautiful quilt - and it's cool to see another quilt-as-you-go method. Thanks - Violet

[@allicla]

Fritzing around, love a new descriptive word!

[@terryrowland398]

Ya not sure where that came from you just have to measure around with it LOL

[@ssoozee]

That quilt is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much!

[@repelsteeltje38]

Yes! Another flannel-instead-of-batting-quilter. I love to use old flannel-sheets from the thrift shop to make 'summer-quilts'. Thanks for the inspiration. I've made a chair-cover with the chakra-colours this summer... guess a chakra-kantha-quilt would be make it even better. 😉

[@bawlingchicken1]

Thank you! I never thought to use flannel for batting! Great idea

[@WhitneyMeade]

Flannel! Genius! We live in the South and it is HOT… this is the perfect solution. I’m a brand new quilter, so thank you for this video!! ❤

[@terryrowland398]

You are welcome you can also make what they call summer quilts they can be a cotton top and a flannel or cotton back if you are using flannel make sure you pre wash it because it shrinks more than the cotton does. The one in he video was a thrifted flannel sheet

[@pennypederson2448]

Love this! I’ve not done much ‘quilt as you go’ because it’s such a pain to join the blocks into a quilt. I can do this!!!

[@hildadavidson6559]

FANTASTIC idea! Tfs xx

[@greatexp59]

I've never been a big fan of quilt as you go, but your method is wonderful, especially for this type of coverlet! The finished project will be beautiful! Oh, dear! Now I have another project to try!

[@donnadees1971]

Some many years ago I was in an art display--and I saw a large item done completely with boro stitching. Must be an ages old style of stitching. Lovely stuff.

[@terryrowland398]

Ya very old style what is old is new again Donna

[@conniehusband1365]

Terry! Another awesome idea! I Love your Kantha Quilt.....never heard of one before. Absolutely doable and great result! Thankyou!

[@terryrowland398]

Thanks Connie hope you Try it

[@lindawhite5006]

Beautiful quilt! You explained your technique very well. I have difficulty visualizing the finished product before I make something, unless I've seen it done. This has helped me a lot. Thank you for taking your time and sharing with us. 🇺🇸

[@terryrowland398]

You are welcome enjoy learning a new project

[@joanwood9480]

I was watching Sewing With Nancy and she put together a quilt as you go this exact same way. I was always very intimidated to put a quilt together the traditional way but when I saw this way I was "Now this I can do". I've made 3 quilts this way. I make it with 6" columns.

[@kittyswanson3611]

Do you have pictures on social media? I would love to see them.

[@leahmoore3015]

This is gorgeous and looks like a fun project. I have skirts made from old saris that I never wear, and I am planning to re-repurpose the fabric for a kantha quilt. I think this quilt-as-you-go technique will be perfect!

[@lindaphillips884]

Thank you so much for this video. I am clueless about Kantha quilts, but I do mostly QAYG, so this is right up my alley!

[@terryrowland398]

I am happy you like it

[@vickischneider6883]

Love this! I struggle with stitching layers of larger quilts on my machine, this sew as you go will be a piece of cake! Thanks for sharing, your a fantastic teacher!

[@terryrowland398]

Thank you Vicki it is just step by step

[@BULOCHKAstar]

Fantastic!! I am only a beginner at this, but I enjoy hand stitching too. This will be my next project. Thank you. I love your videos and the " organic" feel to them.

Thank you for you info. This looks so much easier then trying to sew a big quilt on my regular sewing machine. God bless.

Awesome

[@ChristineMartinez-l3t]

(🏆VERY CLEVER!) love your idea. Sew as you go , this gives someone a chance to use which ever fabrics one comes a cross perhaps from family members🙆‍♀️💚.

Превосходно! Думаю рукодельницам как и музыкантам понять друг друга очень просто 😊 Недавно я сшила коврик примерно в такой технике, мне хотелось достичь такого результата чтобы и сверху и снизу было одинаково красиво. Получилось хорошо. Спасибо вам за мастер класс 🌹🌹🌹♥️

You are welcome

Если кому надо- краткий перевод. Цветные полосы по 4 инча(примерно 10 см), внутри полосы из фланели(постирать её заранее). Используются цвета радуги, от светлого до тёмного затем в зеркальном порядке, от тёмного до светлого. Простегать изделие крупно вручную, потом выровнять верх и низ и только к ним пришить бейку. Как закрыть боковые стороны, автор ролика показывает. Всем заинтересовавшимся пошить такое изделие - удачи! P.S. У этого мастера есть отличный квилт (из остатков)показанный в 3-х роликах. 1 -как быстро нарезать остатки ткани на блоки, 2 - как сшивать блоки методом „web stitching“, раскладка блоков по цвету, 3- как организовать процесс шитья и сохранение разложенных по цветам блоков от детей и домашних питомцев! Наверное это лучший метод, если нет отдельной швейной комнаты. Thank you so much Terry!

I’ve seen this type of sewing a simple quilt done in India I think where a woman would sew a quilt out of any clothing or textiles a family wanted to upcycle. It was mesmerizing but started sewing on the perimeter to the center sometimes incorporating new pieces of fabric as she went. Every culture has their version.
