Thank you, Lori!

[@patrickkelley4092]

She is lovely and sweet. She seems very humble and down to earth. Thank you.

[@seamslikemartha]

Thrilled, absolutely thrilled to see young women sewing, quilting and teaching others. BTW, modern quilting is my favorite.

[@nightingailinflorida5458]

I always wanted to learn how to quilt and brought a few books through the years, but after reading them I felt overwhelmed by all the instructions. COVID came along and I found your book "Quilt As You Go Made Modern." While hanging out at home, I tried your method and now I'm hooked. Since then I quilted 2 table runners, 3 lap throws and now working on a queen size quilt for our bed. Your instructions are clear, easy to follow. Thank you!

[@enjoyart5]

I received this morning the two books Quilt as you go made modern and Quilt as you go made vintage I have ordered from Amazon. I do not regret my purchase. All the projects are really beautiful and interesting. The explanations are clear and the pictures are great . When Quilt as you go made clever will be still available I wil buy it. Thank you Jera for your books.

[@paularodery8074]

I have Jara’s book. As a beginner I found it immensely helpful and instructional. Thank you, Jara, for helping to simplify the mystery of quilting!

[@tiffanyr4460]

Omg, I could totally do this. Thank you for this demonstration. As a beginner after watching this I feel more confident. 😊

[@BlueEyesBrittany]

Jena seems to be a charming and very nice quilter ... What we need more of in this world is nice people who treat others well and play it safe, honest, responsible and do not harm others ....

[@belle1353]

I’ve made 6 toddler quilts this year using your video and this book from the library. I like it so much and the blankets are my kids’ favorites! We’ve made some together to give as gifts as well.

[@lindadalton2668]

This method is awesome my mom quilted old school all her life fist by hand then up in late years couldn’t do by hand and she started doing it on her machine. I wish she had lived to see this simple way for the quilting part she would have been unstoppable

[@leisa1495]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have never quilted before because I just couldn’t get the very corners lined up and the whole project just seem so overwhelming to even try! This method is such a nice low pressure way to build a quilt. I have this book and I love that the author has actually shown us how she does it. Wonderful! I have the confidence now to make a small quilt. Thank you so much!

[@pboyd7007]

Kimberly, This was a wonderful tutorial. I purchased this book several months ago to read about another QAYG method. Seeing the author actually demonstrate her method has been so helpful and inspiring. Thank you!

[@DianeM-hy4np]

This was fantastic. I just love quilt as you go. If works so well if you want to finish your quilt yourself rather than send it out to be quilted or if you do not have a long arm quilting machine of your own. Loved the way the backside came out.

[@jolianeperkins7191]

Thank you. I have known about quilt as you go for a long time. But now that I've seen it I think I will be much more likely to actually make one.

[@melmack2003]

Beautiful....I use this method on my t-shirt quilts and call it stitch 'n flip. BTW, if you leave a margin of 1" around the perimeter of the backing, you can just bring it forward to the front, fold the edge 1/4 " under and stitch it down on the top. Voila....no binding strips to make!!

[@rhondaverma6358]

Mel Mack would love to see photos of the T-shirt quilt!

[@pamelacraig2791]

Brilliant, Thx!

[@melmack2003]

@@rhondaverma6358 Sorry about that.....I was unable to paste the photo but there are many online.

[@NosyRoseE]

Mel Mack I’m intrigued by the inch around the perimeter for the edge. I will have to consult my sewing friends for this but it sounds very helpful. Thank you

[@belle1353]

Wow 🤦‍♀️ why have I never thought of this.. definitely trying it on my next quilt

[@lydiastory7097]

Wow I feel like my mind has become open to a whole new level of quilting. Thank you for sharing!

[@cindyboyer4484]

Love this instructional video. Absolutely fantastic companion to Jera Brandvig’s “ Quilt As-You-Go Made Modern” and I also really like her “Quilt As-You-Go Made Vintage”. This is my first foray into QAYG and her books are full of hints.

[@ethelpaul9023]

Stop putting her down she does these videos to help people give her credit where due don’t like nasty people if you can’t say something positive don’t comment at all just saying

[@gloriawood9627]

I dont read putting her down, isn't the whole idea to share ideas and tips????

[@cmilam8284]

All I got was she was that the instructor was a tad bit nervous in the beginning. This was excellent tutorial. When people are being nasty towards another who has knowledge, I always cancel them out as noise and listen to the information, then thanked them for their knowledge. I also, give thanks to nasty for having the insight of bringing someone so talented to share their information.

[@LisaLisa-zl9vu]

Absolutely!! This lady is demonstrating a do-able project. We should be grateful.

[@hlyons3360]

Great tutorial! Very informative and well executed till the end! You answered many questions I have had .

[@annflynn3199]

ethel paul I think you took her up wrong she was sharing a tip which does make it easier and quicker It’s so easy to read it quick and take the wrong meaning 🤔both ways are great just another option

[@loriannfish9488]

I really like the hint about reducing the bulk of the seams. I will definitely try that on my next quilt as you go project.

[@CherryBlossomHill]

I fell in love with this book when it first came out, so nice to see this on video. My sewing machine broke when I made a rag quilt with flannel fabric because it could not handle the bulk of sewing so many layers together. If you’re not sure, I recommend trying this technique first with the thinnest loft batting and a needle and thread combination that can also handle sewing through all those layers, ESPECIALLY at the seam intersections.

[@billiesmall8051]

I have been away from quilting for almost 1 year, and am glad I watched this little video. Great ideas, I will try this quilt Thanks for the efforts and the lace on this little quilt is a fantastic addition

[@casualcrafter2340]

Love the fabric, lace is so cute, Jera is a doll. My concern with adding the backing on at the end is 1) you don't get to see beautiful quilting on the back of your quilt and 2) it does not eliminate the need for me to struggle with a large quilt on my small machine.

[@mike1968442]

Agree not a fan of this type.

[@TheElzer]

@@mike1968442 I see that also. Too much material to quilt to backing on at the end. Also can not find this fabric collection anywhere on her sites.

[@carynwakelin2494]

I agree - to me this is not traditional QAYG, which quilts the whole square with the backing and then you only have to deal with joining one row at a time, so it fits into a domestic machine. It's very pretty but the backing could easily have been added while the quilting was being done IMHO.

[@GlammyBee]

@@carynwakelin2494 Can you suggest a good source (book, YT channel, website) to learn about the more traditional QAYG method? Thank you!! :)

[@carynwakelin2494]

@@GlammyBee Look at Monica Poole's channel on KZbin - she has a very easy to follow style and lots of different ways to QAYG. She always quilts each block individually, through the top, batting and backing, and then they are sewn together in various ways. so when all are attached the quilt only needs binding. Poole Pattern TV the channel is called. :)

[@suemeteer1499]

Thank you! I'm planning to see a baby quilt for my first and only granddaughter. You have given me the courage to do so!

[@dianejohanson98]

I make my quilt as you go squares with a backing fabric square. I’ve made several quilts and throws this way. Works great. Saves a step.

[@kristimolz5770]

When you do your squares with the backing fabric, how do you finish the exposed seams?

[@arimacem]

@@kristimolz5770 See how Darlene does it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moWlhpeQa62JqpY ... at 8:53 she shows how she begins to close the block. Watch the whole video though!

[@jleedw]

@@kristimolz5770 it requires slashing which would ruin the design on this one

[@deloreseickholtz9822]

Thank You so much!! i took quilting classes years ago. I recently made a Quilt as you Go however, kind of forgot how to put it all together. So glad I came across your video. Fingers crossed I can get a nice, flat, beautiful quilt like yours.

[@RonsonDalby]

Just amazing. After reading through all the comments one would swear that a large number of questions indicated the person commenting had not watched the video!

[@lollysparow]

I agree. She showed everything you need to do. It's a great idea and simple enough for my grandchildren to do.

[@nursekate6772]

Just happened on this video. What a great tutorial! I love the addition of lace. I was looking for a fast and pretty baby quilt and this fits the bill. Thanks so much for this video!

LOVE THIS!!!!! As a new quilter with a 1 and 3 yo at home, and very small amounts of time, this method is genius. I had been thinking about a way to quilt like this and was about to try it to see if it works. Im glad it does. this will make quilting and Finishing a project more attainable. Thank you!

[@kimblock8328]

I look forward to more how to videos from Jera. I bought the book but the videos help tremendously. Thank you!

[@dorabelmercado8381]

Love it...not quite famous quilting in Puerto Rico... Struggling with that.. so just keep watching videos like this makes me feel better. Some day will make one 💗

[@cazfromoz1]

Very good video. I really like Jera's method for QAYG. However, I believe sewing strips to batting is enough 'quilting' for blocks this size. But, it's still nice to add echo stitching, if you don't mind more sewing. Not too sure about adding lace, but to each his/her own...Great suggestion with rotating mat AND trimming all corner seams on the back to reduce bulk. Thank you for all of your great tips!

[@NatalieMoore-cf4zt]

Thank you for providing step-by-step instructions. Excellent tutorial!

[@knittingnurd]

[@Charley711away711]

great QAYG for sure! "Stitch in the Ditch" may weaken the connecting block stitches. I'd follow a few of the diamond patterns and gently cross over the block meeting seams to the next triangle. Just my opinion, but I've heard this from some seasoned award winning quilters.

[@2bless8]

Yes, and also some people teach "stitch in the ditch" where they sew right next to the seam and not right on it and then they don't compromise the seam.

[@debbieblaxton2424]

[@maried3717]

I do think this is a good idea for throws and smaller household articles when adding the backing last. Just stich in the ditch with the backing on and start from the middle of the piece and work out to the edges. I like that there is no sashing around each block.

[@cathynuytten798]

marie d Great idea. I do mostly QAYG and I’ve been doing each individual block. Doing rows will speed things up and make the process so much easier! I made a bookshelf quilt and did the rows but it never occurred to me to do all my other jilts like that! Thank you for sharing!

[@dianejens7054]

Love this method and the back looks great to me. Like the idea I can use decorative stitches on my machine if I want to. ♥

[@emilyhill7622]

I started this quilt. In hindsight, probably not the best to start with this quilt. Even though I cut the strips to 2.5 inches and do through all the steps exactly as she does, my pieces aren't lining up from block to block. Especially the end ones. I assume this is why people buy jelly rolls because the measurements are exact for each. I centimeters off here and there REALLY do make a difference.
