Quilt as you sew Log Cabin Quilt

This is a fun technique if you like to sew. If you are a beginner I would suggest that you do a quicker project first and I have the link to my potholder video down below that is the same design as this quilt. Or make a table runner using this technique. This quilt measured 36”x 44” when done. If I had made 12 more squares it would have made a nice sized lap quilt. Measurements for all fabric and batting cuts are below:
Backing Squares-8"x8"
Batting squares-8"x8"
Binding-2-1/4" strips, folded in half
Front sashing-1" strips
Back sashing-1-1/2" strips, folded in half
1-1/2" Log Cabin strips in order of application:
Gray 1-1/2" (square)
Teal 1-1/2" (square)
Teal 2-1/2"
Gray 2-1/2"
Gray 3-1/2"
Teal 3-1/2"
Teal 4-1/2"
Gray 4-1/2"
Gray 5-1/2"
Teal 5-1/2"
Teal 6-1/2"
Gray 6-1/2"
Gray 7-1/2"
What I like to do is after the first seam of the two 1-1/2” squares I then make sure that the teal square is on top. Then I proceed with the teal 2-1/2” square on the right side and work my way clockwise with the rest of the strips.
Below is approximate amounts for different sized quilts:
Twin-117 blocks
Full-143 blocks
Queen-168 blocks
King-196 blocks

Beautiful-thank you for posting!!

It was refreshing to see that you have mistakes also! Thank you for being human and showing it. Good job on the show.

[@bettygresham4755]

So glad you did not take it out of the video. We all do that and it sure helps us all to know no matter how long your have been quilting or sewing you are bound to goof at times so it is also helpful to laugh at your self. 😀Love the colors AND YOUR WAY OF TEACHING. i AM A TEACHER. BEA

Love your quit spirit and laugh.

Quite spirit !❤

[@annalisa40oztofree85]

Love love love that you showed the piece you sewed through on the back, I did the same thing yesterday and found it while bragging about progress to my daughter and felt humbled real fast 😂. So relatable!!! But also, thank you for the whole thing. Working on something similar and seeing your work is helpful. X

[@josephineglover7635]

Just don’t overthink~~everything will end up coming together-I promise!! Enjoy the process!

Beautiful quilt. I appreciate your pace, and humble humor. When I make mistakes I'm embarrassed (all alone) but realize it's easy to forget things!

[@louettesommers8594]

I LOVE your quilt. I’ve never made a QAYG QUILT but years ago when my now 54 year old son graduated from high school I made him a log cabin quilt. I used his favorite colors. Teal and beige. It was so pretty. I really appreciate your video.

[@cylenadee]

I truly enjoyed this video, first because I would like to answer the call and the challenge to do a log cabin, quilt as you go! I have had all of the fabrics for my project for at least 10 years, you know how it is, "I’ll get to it, someday" 🙏🙂 Sew, then came the heartfelt , everyday human factor, the funny part, "losing your pieces"!!! I broke out in a great big smile and chuckled with delight!! 😄☺️🥰 Thank you so much for sharing this, your guidance and knowledge is very much appreciated!!! GBY!!!

[@maryharvey724]

I thought your mistake was going to be that you sewed two stuck together pieces down! You are funny. But I’m learning how to put together a quilt as you go from you and I’m learning good technique. Thank you.

[@jerib1576]

Thank you!

[@janiemelgoza166]

Lol, I taught my self to sew, which I’ve done a great job but I have done a lot of stupid things as well. And with me it’s been the cutting the material where I would make my mistakes. But your work is very beautiful.

[@Adoptiveangel]

I love how you show step by step and your choice of color fabrics. So many quilters that are attempting to teach skills do not show mistakes. It's refreshing to see that I'm not the only one that makes mistakes. We are human and nothing is perfect. Many try to be so perfect. Yes, I too love how Jenny Doan does her self binding method. I love your daughter's little dog. So cute! You're doing a great job. Thank you for showing this method for connecting shashing to connect backing and blocks together to make the quilt. I'm subscribed to your channel.

You are humble enough to include some of your little mistakes which I'm sure helps all novice quilters confident enough to continue their quilting journey. Thank you so much, you are so very easy to watch, just a lovely video to watch.

Your fabric color choices are outstanding.....a truly striking quilt 🤩. Thank you for the video 😊👍💕

[@lizschwartz7447]

Your color picking is fabulous! I’m not great at all in picking colors I struggle with it. But right now gray & teals are my favorite colors. You made me laugh when you couldn’t find those pieces of fabric and they were sewed on the back. I do that kind of thing all the time I tend to get way ahead of myself. Thanks for the video & telling it like it is.I learned a lot from this tutorial. Definitely going to try this.

[@keressabeverage2622]

I agree on the whole color selection dilemma! A cool trick that was shown to me was to use a ‘peep hole’ used for doors, Home Depot or any hardware place carries them. You then get all your different colored materials together, spread them out some, and stand above all the colors, looking through the ‘peep hole’ and chose colors that look best together. Remove some, add others, all while looking through the ‘peep hole’ and it just brings a really neat different view as opposed to the regular eye! Sounds weird, but try it, you’ll see what I mean! Good luck, worth a 6-7$ try!

[@ksharpe8137]

Finally! Thank you for showing us step by step until the end on how to finish a "Sew as You Quilt"! I've been struggling for months. I don't care to send my quilt tops to have them finished. It would cost me approximately $400 to $500 per quilt (OMG) and I don't really have the machine to handle a Queen size "free form" quilt, but I am determined to make and complete my own. Lots of experimenting over the last few months. Thanks so much for your wonderful video. It's the best and most comprehensive on KZbin. Wonderful!!

Hello Jeri from Scotland, flower thank you so much for your wonderful video. You were real and honest and do things that WE ALL do if we are honest with ourselves and others. You have the courage to put this video out there in the general view because you think that if it helps one person, then it is doing a good job and you are right, but it helps so many more people than you think and i thank you for that courage because you helped a lot of us. I love the colours of the quilt as teal is my son's favourite colour and i have never made a log cabin quilt before but having said that, i am only on my 2nd real size quilt. I have made 3 pram sized, 2 for my granddaughters dolly's pram and cot and 1 for my friends' grandson who wanted a dollys pram for christmas( it was made with the left over scraps of Toy Story that i made for my grandson). The colours move in like streams going over rocks and has a calming look to it. Have a great day flower from Norah, Scotland

Missouri Star 😂 That little dog peeking behind you and laying on the bed is so sweet. I can't believe that you have an issue with color selection, every single thing you showed is beautiful and let me be honest with you, gray is my least favorite, last choice on earth color for anything, but I'd totally copy this quilt for myself, lol!!! I love that you go slowly and are so careful with everything. Tfs, Laura

[@judeaquino9457]

Hi! I'm from the Philippines 🇵🇭. Quilting is not a popular or common craft among women in my country. So I have to be resourceful to learn the basics, the simple and easiest for me as a beginner. I'm glad I watched your video as KZbin popped suggested tutorial videos as I was looking for quilt as you go. Because as beginner I find most of the whole finished quilts I see are intimidating sizes. Thank you so much! Salamat po. From Philippines.

[@jerib1576]

You are so welcome. I have other easy quilt tutorials on my sewing playlist. I love making baby quilts for that very reason, they are easy to manage and not intimidating.

[@TheJanestarling]

Thank you for keeping all the bits in, including the mishap with the missing pieces. For a terrified beginner, who isn't brave enough to attempt her first quilt seeing the mistakes that can happen is reassuring. Your explanations for each step were so easy to understand, even for a total novice like me. I'd like to add that even without holding a camera & trying to stitch, my stitches are never as straight as yours! The colours you chose were beautiful!

[@jerib1576]

Thank you so much!

[@carriewenholz9126]

Thank you for your tutorial. My 1st sewing mentor always said "As you sew, so shall you rip." I remind myself of how much I did not have to rip out whenever I goof.

Beautiful quilt. I make a lot of sew as you go string quilts, so this method is right up my alley! I love the fact that by the time the top is done it’s already quilted too since I don’t own a long-arm machine and getting a sewing center to quilt it for me is very expensive. Don’t worry about the mistakes, we all make them!

Thank you for your kind comment. That video took a lot of time to make and edit. I must’ve had 2 or 3 hrs of original video that I finally got down to 36 minutes. I wanted to make it all in one video because when I’ve done two part quilt videos before one part always gets more views and the other gets forgotten or can’t be found I guess. So it’s a long video.

What a beautiful quilt!! The colors are perfect. I, too, get overwhelmed trying to chose colors for a quilt so I'm happy that I don,t feel alone as there are some very talented folks out there who have that ability to choose colors that I would think would't go together at all only to see the finished product is awesome! I also like the way you explain each step in an unhurried way that seems to keep me calm during the process! And your quilting companions, the Lab and your daughters pup, are very well behaved and I love seeing them. Thanks for a great tutorial!

[@jerib1576]

Thank you for the kind words. Our sweet Lucy the Lab passed away last fall so I love that I have her memory on so many of my videos. She was 14.8 years old! She seemed to always find her way into the video shot whether I was sewing or cooking, so she had the heart of a movie star. Lol. And Patchy the Jack Russell mix just turned 10 last month. I have a bed for her set up in the sewing room and if she's at my house she always finds her way to the sewing room when I'm sewing.
