Quilt-As-You-Go Log Cabin with a Jelly Roll and an Easy Sashing

[@131dyana]

Did you know that a lincolin block with a black square in the middle was used in America at the time of slavery? a black square in the middle meant that a slave could go to the home with that quilt on the fence and get help food and shelter? So nice of you to show how to make that pattern. Thank you.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Yes I did :) - I love the history of quilts! - Nancy

[@anndujela8779]

Wonderful tutorial. Thanks!​@@QuiltingWithNancy

[@carolynmuhr2891]

Hi this is Carolyn from Mitchell Nebraska. I am enjoying your show I am almost 80 years old. And just began quilting last year!

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Wonderful!

[@dafairygirl86]

Your tip about holding the top thread when you tart to prevent the rat's tail is a life saver! That annoys me soooo bad with my brother. I never could figure out how to make it stop! Thank you so much.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

You are very welcome☺️

[@christiniarobindurham2864]

Hey this is Cookie and Kevin we are watching together. Bless his heart❤. This is first time I have seen this done. Looks very interesting.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Hope you enjoy

[@williamhardan3084]

Thanks

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Thank you :) and you are welcome!

[@Tucker2love]

I’m almost 69 years old and I’ve been sewing since I was seven. But I’ve never made a quilt. So I’m making my very first one using this method and so far so good. It’s actually turning out really great in your method is fantastic.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Wonderful!

[@sharonbaker300]

I'm year late, but I loved what you made. I made a log cabin lap quilt 9 years ago. And I'm picking it up again. I'm 71 years old and I'm doing this again. I'm a crocheter and having trouble with my hands so I'm sewing.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Go for it!

[@crazylove610]

I love this. I'm getting ready to start quilting for the first time ever and I'm watching all the videos I can to make it easy for myself from the get go. Thank you for showing your techniques.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

You can do it!

[@MaryJamieson-i3j]

Love this quilt technique so much easier then I had do my quilt as I go!

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

I agree! This is so much easier than traditional quilt-as-you-go.

[@anitaparker6897]

I appreciate your teaching method, genetic personality and encouraging inspiration! I am quilting on a tiny island in The Bahamas(Spanish Wells) and don't have easy access to products. That is why when I found your tutorial I was so pleased! You showed me exactly WHAT supplies were beneficial, WHY I needed them and HOW to put them together....easily and may I say SMARTLY! I don't have the benefit to run back out to the store to grab more items. You listed it all for me!! I have shipped in all my items and ready to begin my "Quilt-as-you-go Log Cabin with Jelly Roll and EASY sashing"!!!

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Awesome!!

[@betteolivieri7644]

For multiple reasons I love your method. 1. I like folding it and cutting it. This saves all the precutting time. 2. I love that you attach as you go so I wouldn't have to worry about sewing the wrong piece on. 3. Love quilt as you go.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

You are so welcome!

[@Chris-uo6hz]

Hi Nancy, Wow, I am the Four Hundredth person who has watched this video ! I am going to use this method to sew a few quilts together. This will be my first time using this method. I usually quilt the whole quilt, but my shoulders bother me and I’m not getting any younger 🤣 so why not give this a try. Thank you for your videos and have a good weekend. 🥰 Chris -Raleigh NC

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Glad it was helpful!

I’m in Alaska. Yes, Narwhals here. Enjoying your video.

[@loismelander2025]

I made four rows of four blocks. Thank you for the excellent instructions on the quilt as you go method. I started the easy assembling using the 2 inch strips with the 1/2 inch seams. So far it is working well. Thanks again.

[@anitra7747]

Ok. Thanks. Nancy. Now I’ve got 🎶 Barbara Manatee🎶 stuck in my head!🤣

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

I love that song! When in Florida we went to see the manatee and I sang the song the whole time :)

[@pinacki]

This Florida girl HAS to tell you how to pronounce Kissimmee . LOL. It is not KISS-A-ME. it is KA-SIM-MEE. Love this technique! Thanks for the video, such a pleasure to watch.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Good to know!

[@diannenaworensky6698]

[@pamelacollins6895]

HI From San Antonio, TX. I have had a renewed season of quilting since my children are now grown. (Made a few when I was younger, but paused due to busy family and moving around the world (military) and now I have had a resurgence- probably the only good thing to come out of Covid shut downs. I have made about 40 quilts in that time, but have never done a quilt as you go. I have researched, and then hesitate. BUT- you made it look so easy, and I am committing to try this out! Thank you for the very clear explanations! Wish me luck!

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Excellent - can't wait to see what you make. If you use Facebook you could post on my Quilting with Nancy Show and Share page :)

[@CWAGawler]

Hi, I am in Australia, I am 73 yrs ole & have been quilting since I was 23. I watched this video half a dozen times & then tried it. Sooo excited because when you edge stitch the strips it is perfectly positioned on the other side. Thankyou so much p, I have struggled with getting them to match for years.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Your very welcome :)

[@PatriceBingham-so6dh]

[@MargaretSigouin-kq1yc]

I am from Canada, I used to live in the attic for a few years when I was in my 20’s. The narwhal is real. I have seen the narwhal tusk up close. They are amazing. They’re Spyro just like a unicorn they used their tusk for hunting. I am enjoying your quilting shop kins. Just love it. You are doing a great job. Thanks so much.❤

[@lauramiddleton2709]

I have been quilting now for over 40 years, wow, I'm old lol. Anyway, I have always, always loved doing Log Cabins, and wonky cabins but wow this is so much faster. I was watching it and then was wondering how you going to put that together and BAM your method is so fantastically thought out it was like my mind did a happy dance! I found your tutorial doing searches for quilt-as-you-go techniques and I'm so thrilled I found you. Amazing speech skills, you speak so clearly and explain everything so anyone could do this. Thank you so much! I see many, many more log cabins in my future, and again, thank you!

“Nice Job”. I thought it interesting to hear about your connection to Port Huron. I lived in Marie city on the St Clair River. Worked in Port Huron and then in Lapeer. I bought my first Bernina from a lady who had a quilting store in Lapeer. That was 30 years ago. Enjoyed visiting with you. Thanks

I’m not from Michigan, but lived there for a few years. My thoughts were if i could move Michigan to Texas the world would be alright. Beautiful weather, a lot of moisture and my impatience did so beautiful. I still have them here in Texas but I have to hide them in the shade.

I also sew over pins, and have for years. I just slow down. You are correct that it makes what you are sewing more precise.

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Thank you! 😊

[@stellamorantes8656]

For icebreaker for staff's first day of school this year, they asked for us to say something new we had learned in Summer. I actually said that it took me all of my 58 years to find out that a Norwalk is an actual fish!!!! I loved hearing you ask about it. Nice to know I was not alone in this!!

Holy moly that sewing machine is HUGE for a domestic, lol... glad I found this video. I am now working on a log cabin. Looks like this thing is gonna be big. Trying to think how to go about it to make my quilting easy

[@babeyblu06]

Love this method! Narwhals are real and are called the unicorns of the sea. I believe they are around Canada and Greenland. I didn’t know they existed until I saw the Disney movie ‘Island at the Top of the World’ when my kids were little.

[@christinevanzyl5951]

Lovely doing a sash and rrmembered this pattern. Loved watching from Soith Africa.❤

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Thank you! 😊

[@andraebanks]

I'm going to try this. I have a lot of leftover batting. This will be a good way to use it.

[@giclat1098]

Very clear instructions! Thank you! I'd also like to mention that Canada is , by landmass, the largest country in the world and believe me you will not see a narwal anywhere within a thousand miles of Toronto!.🙂 Meantime you have inspired me to get out one of my jellyroles from my hoard and actually make a few quilt blocks!

[@roxis5539]

My first time finding you, I don't quilt yet, but I want to. You make it look super easy. Thank you! I would take Athena to Niagara Falls, it's only 4 hours from the Detroit area and it is a beautiful place!

Great! I have several blocks and dreading putting them together this is a big help Thanks💕

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

You are so welcome!

[@cheryellemley-mcroy6758]

FYI: I'm an old quilter. The square in the middle always meant a fireplace and was always red. However, in a funeral or memorial quilt, the center was black or dark and indicated a loved one had died.

[@kaybutler2394]

Thank you for that additional bit of information! I often wondered why people put red squares in the middle!

[@cheryellemley-mcroy6758]

@Kay Butler, you're welcome! The center square was the fireplace in the log cabin, and the hearth was the center of the home.

[@vickirobles3406]

And yellow center represents the light coming thru the window!!

[@bubblegirl6265]

I would love to make a quilt like this with the sashing. May I ask, how many jelly rolls would I need to make a lap size quilt of 13” blocks?

[@QuiltingWithNancy]

Depends on the size of the jelly roll. I takes about 50 2.5" strips to make this large lap size@@bubblegirl6265

[@michelleallman4360]

As a beginner meaning I've finished 1 quilt that looks like 13 yr old me did it this is more of my way of quilting and I'm adhd I could so do a full square and do something else then do another I'm too excited a must try with my new fabric yes THANK YOU YHWH always got my back I love it 🙏💜🙏

[@djf57]

Glue and stitch iron on bonding that never entered my mind and really finishes it!!
