Stunning Wedding Ring Quilt: Strips, Curves, Airplanes, Piecing CIRCLES *into* the QUILT !

Greetings All! In this video I make a wedding present quilt for my friends Alex and Melissa. I use Louisa Smith's Strips 'N Curves technique and Dale Flemming's six minute circle piecing technique.
This is the book I reference in the video and used as inspiration: amzn.to/3wl573f

I came here because I was looking for offbeat quilters on KZbin and I’ve been through almost your entire video list. Your energy is so so good, watching you execute this with such painstaking precision but also the chaos of improvisation, plus the jokes, plus the INCREDIBLE music you’ve selected for your videos. Chef’s. Kiss. You’re a delight. This quilt is a delight.

[@ccc-pj9xg]

Do you have recommendations of other quilters you follow?

[@davescraftroom]

thank you !! And Welcome to the Craft Room 😜👨🏻

[@amakerwitch]

@@ccc-pj9xg I’ve been enjoying Rose City Originals random quilt block series (there are two “seasons” now!). Just Get It Done Quilts isn’t as “offbeat” but she’s got good energy and great tips that feel accessible. That’s about as far as I’ve gotten though!

[@amakerwitch]

@@davescraftroom So happy to be here!

[@astorybookfinish5055]

@@amakerwitchthx. Will check out Rose!

[@djpamdemonium]

Look at me the seasoned old lady quilter learning new tricks from the next generation of amazing artists. Thank you for your fresh perspective to this art, I appreciate your whole vibe.

[@mndelane]

Good news, we love blue 💙💙💙 you did such an amazing job. We love it and we love you!!! You’re so talented!

[@davescraftroom]

yassss Melissa !! So glad you like it 😃👨🏻

[@LindaSuriyakham]

Aww! I’m so happy for everyone! I needed closure on how the quilt was received! Dave, I have a super creative kid who loves your aesthetic and I have a more conservative, but not traditional! aesthetic and your channel is the perfect thing to cue up when I’m sick of watching gaming videos, and kiddo thinks the quilting stuff is BORING. Great energy, nice music, nice flow, very original content. Love it!

[@ranakarl1587]

Happy Anniversary!

[@booomanchu]

@davescraftroom I am binging all your videos, repeatedly, because each one I watch I think I've seen it all, then I watch another and I'm flabbergasted! This quilt is amazing and I saw their post that they love it. Great job Dave, keep 'em coming!

[@katehenry2718]

DANG!!! Impressive!!! I've been quilting for over 60 years and I've never seen anything like this. FABULOUS circles !!! )))))) Now I have to try this. Never did circles. Never did arcs. Never did curves!!! EGAD. Mind blown. ))))Thanks for showing us. WHEE!!

[@Profesorapenguin]

I can see this quilt in an art gallery. Creative genius, Dave.

[@Profesorapenguin]

Thanks for liking my comment! I am sincere; this quilt is art. Have a great day!

[@adelaidesocki]

This is the elusive Dave in his element in his natural habitat. 😂

[@mbfrank8]

Janome machines are responsible. Love your improvisation.

[@janinec1396]

Wow! I've been watching your videos for two days now and I want to rip all the stitches out of every quilt I've ever made and start over.

[@lorimill8060]

I freaking love your slightly chaotic process. You give me hope!💜

[@kathymathews1733]

Not only are you a genius but also fearless! Maybe I can expand thanks to you!

[@patgregory4320]

You area quilt genius Nothing seems to faze you and the end result is stunning

[@susans.3242]

Dave, you are a breath of fresh air. Love your attitude, positivity and perspective. Keep going!

[@patleo6481]

You are such a clever fellow! I have a Janome 6600 Memorycraft. It has a thread cutter, knee lift, automatic threader, and a kazillion decorative stitches. It cost around $1,600.

[@alicel.2641]

I have a 6700 P that I bought second hand around the same price. It’s almost perfection for quilters. Highly recommanding Janome sewing machines too.

[@paulaneary7877]

I also have a Janome. It has worked very well for me for over ten years. I bought it in 2009 for about $1200 dollars. Never had any problems with it. I highly recommend Janome also.

[@alliegal45]

I just wish it had a stitch regulator for FMQ ….. other than that I love mine too

[@dn7838]

Wow just wow, And yes yes. You are leading The new age of artistic quilting. One of a kind masterpiece. ❤

[@jonifotheringham5436]

Your creativity is amazing. I love watching you work!

[@MarleneSteiner-j8w]

This quilt is my favorite. So unique!! Love the circles and strips!

[@joannbanks5556]

Every time you make another quilt it is my new favorite. Seriously, this quilt is phenomenal! I can’t wait to see what you make next!

[@JohannaVanWinkle]

That circle trick was mind blowing! cool! The quilt is amazing.

[@jenmckitrick]

you are an artist and your videos are entertaining.

[@MsBoni1]

Wow! You did it again. Impressed the heck out of me. I’m a 70 year old quilter who has been quilting most my life, and you are continually teaching me something new. Love love love your creative mind and sparkling personality.

[@susanslaton9560]

Dave, get a Janome! Thread cutter, knee lift, fancy stitches and letters! The 4100 series is really nice with lots of bang for your buck. I have the 6700Professional (very fast) and love it.

[@KarenPreston-w2b]

this quilt is a beauty! you are a true artist. I love , love your quilt videos.

[@jolene41062]

You are a true artist. I like how you don't conform to all the rules yet you understand that one doesn't have to reinvent the wheel or more accurately, the circle. I can't quilt without gloves but I found the perfect ones for me at the hardware store.

[@donnarichards2021]

AMAZING!! I bought the book right away but your creativity is the SECRET SAUCE!!!

[@jeannette7243]

I love this quilt, it's fun, beautiful and well-made. It's great to see you work.

[@TheHokieDoke]

This. Is. Fabric. Art. So beautiful and inspiring!

[@Quiltypickles68]

A brother scan and cut would be great for you. You could fuse the t-shirts than scan and they would cut the designs out . plus with your great creativity you could scan your own drawing and cut them. I love all your work because it comes from you not what everyone else is doing or fabrics everyone is using. One of a kind is my favorite. Thanks for the inspiration now I've got a million strip and circles to get going!

[@helend222]

The easiest way to insert circles. Thanks a million.

[@nzshauna3680]

The lengths you will go to! I’ve been far too unambitious, fallen into the sloughs of ‘quick and easy’, but now you have shown me the light and it is a moon. I have a stack of unicorns that I had dismissed as too fiddly until I saw your soot sprites (aka “very black black things” makurokurosuke). So that quilt is going to happen before Christmas. Then I just saw your unicorn quilt 😂😂

[@deborahmilne3397]

You continue to amaze me with your talent! You are a quilt artist worthy of an exhibition ❤

[@lauraoneal5146]

OMG DAVE!! Yet another astonishingly creative piece. The quilting was amazing!! Keep it up. You remind me of Picasso’s artistry. Love it!!!💙💙💙💙🪡🧵

[@carolerdmann3521]

You make it look so easy and I know it’s not. Your design is fantastic. I love it and your music.

[@shaneencalade4988]

I would be on the news trying to make that. After about 30min. I would need a cocktail and would have it slung out in the yard. Thats what you call dedication to the cause.

[@delightfuldesignsbydenise9710]

Looks Star Wars inspired before the airplanes. Love your style, Dave!!

[@kathycranor5297]

I'm sitting here quilting a hunter star baby quilt, I pieced. What I am thinking is pretty boring after watching this video. Thanks for the inspiration. Love your quilt.

[@pamsprague8721]

I am so very motivated to try these techniques! This quilt is amazing. The design process is so inspiring. Thank you for showing us!

[@chimichata]

Absolutely LOVE your creativity on this quilt!!! 👏🏼

You are a super star! This quilt is AMAZING!!

Отличный дизайн + отличная музыка. Очень, очень понравилось. 😊

[@helengrant7009]

You are a terrific quilter. You think outside the box. You GOT talent.

[@libbyc2834]

You have no fear in tackling any quilt design. I have been quilting for over 30 years and wouldn’t think to try some of these. Great job! Beautiful quilts.

[@bettygentry9672]

You do amazing work! Love your videos! Such a nice break from traditional quilting!

[@anneinstx1969]

Your quilt is amazing. Just beautiful. You are a true artist. Pfaff brand sewing machines has several machines under a $1000, that have the requirements you request. I only have Pfaff machines and think they are the best.

[@USSWylie]

You’re right, the pieced circles were mind blowing and I love knowing that can be done. I waited all day for a chance to watch this and it was so worth it. The quilt is stunning.

[@Kankescu]

Dave! You are a flipping genius!! You are crazy generous of your time and your friends are so lucky!

[@andreagiffin6278]

What an amazing, awesome and stunning quilt. You are one very talented artist. You should really send a photo to Alex. She will be blown away.

[@davescraftroom]

thank you ! I sent them the whole quilt 😜👨🏻

[@andreagiffin6278]

but of course,,,,I should have been clearer...I meant send Alex Anderson a photo@@davescraftroom 😀

[@lindatucker1942]

WOW!! Fabulous gift. Nice work.

[@BarbOwenDesigns]

Great quilt! I bet they loved it.

[@pietie3]

Thanks Dave, you’re an inspiration.♥️

[@BlissEckland]

This quilt is amazing, it's a work of art. I love all the quilts you've made on your channel, but this is my favorite. It's crazy cool.

[@davescraftroom]

Thank you so much! 👨🏻

Great! Great Wedding Present ❤️ Love the new technique 👍

Try juki . Great machine. Love your quilt . Stunning

[@suzannehorne4115]

Thank you, for sharing such a great technique for sewing a circle onto a square . Oh a nd Brenda of mount scrapmore gave you a big shout iut!

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Awesome job! I’m sure your friends will be flabbergasted!

[@PupperPrincess]

I don’t know if you’re still looking for a machine but the Bernette 77 has the features you want and is usually listed for around $1,000~$1,500. It’s the more affordable version of the Bernina machines (same software). I’m Looking to get one myself. Great job on the quilt! Love watching you work on your projects they are inspiring!

[@Aljobritt]

Amazing Dave!

[@cat-et6dx]

When I grow up I want to be just like you!! Wait I think I am already older than you XD... But seriously I wish I had your skills

[@juliebute4063]

That technique is mind blowing!

[@bevbutler1671]

Enjoying your work. You can get a compass with a cutting blade to cut out perfect circles from the freezer paper.

[@christyquilts6865]

I loved your video!❤️❤️👍👍 (FYI, I just bought a Bernina B710 QE for under $2000 that does all you wish, plus BSR. The higher 700 model #’s are $4000 & up but I didn’t need anything that fancy because I don’t do embroidery. The B710 is a wonderful machine & it is all I need forever function/feature wise for my sewing & art quilting. I’m enjoying it so much that my old machines seem like dinosaurs to me now!🤣🤣)

[@margscheffee9084]

Stunning quilt!

[@beths9232]

This is by far my favorite!!!!!! Great job!

[@brynharford6838]

Looks fabulous darl! good job - At first I thought - ooh it's a bit 'boy bedroom' for being used as a wedding gift but.... then I realized your immense talent being gifted as an experienced quilter and can appreciate getting "to like it" - Heart ur wrk x

[@susanflavin8460]

Magic!

Awesome quilt. I’ve enjoyed you’re channel since you began. Thank you 🦋

[@cherylcurlee3279]

Great job, you are so creative. Keep the videos coming!

[@paulaneary7877]

Dave, you are truly amazing. Keep being yourself, I think you will be famous someday! Or should I say more famous?

[@scrappyquilter8741]

You are a no fear guy. I started this quilt some 20 years ago and never finished. You are inspiring me to pull it out of the storage box and give it a try again.

[@dgailharris]

Dave, love this quilt! Again, great work! Piecing a circle!

[@hillarymacabare1820]

WOW. thank you for sharing. I saw that TQS episode with Alex Anderson and forgot all about it. 😊

[@noraburrows7585]

Inspiring! I also love the background music!

[@davescraftroom]

So glad! 😜👨🏻

[@Dianaprimartinez]

Excellent!

[@vickibogart7334]

Juki makes the machine you want then.

[@bcarithers22]

That is so cool! Dude, you are a genius!!!!!!!!! Love the music too!

[@bonitagoodwin5086]

Another spectacular piece of art! 💙🩵💙

[@pamelaquintero9053]

Your work is amazing, and you are fearless with what you do. Keep up the good work.

[@Gigi5876]

I just happened onto your video, while I don’t quilt I crochet. What you have made is absolutely gorgeous!

[@styleme3375]

My janome MC6700 has knee bar, large throat, thread cutter, high powered straight stitch as well as some fancy stitches. It’s a workhorse and I truly love it.

[@ADKGlobetrotter]

Wow Dave, that quilt is really phenomenal!! Absolutely sure Alex and Melissa will love it!

[@loraineleuschke4186]

Those blocks are knockout greatly creative. This is my kind of quilting. So fun to watch you. I am talking to you like you can hear me.

[@davescraftroom]

actually I can ;-) thank you !

[@brendahunter7298]

This channel is so upbeat. Love it.

[@edithschmitt3898]

Love your presentations! I like how you get straight to business and show us the whole process....you don't overtalk...thank you. This quilt is a knockout! I have that strip-piecing book also and you have inspired me to get into it and do something soon. Love your music too!

[@OlgTchizch]

Your creative process is fantastic. Besides your exquisite taste and feeling of colour, your fantasy and amount of labour is amazing. You cause my admiration. I feel myself very lazy. I have lots of ideas but lack of strengths to realize them. And you easily realize very complicated projects. Bravo!

[@ИринаШипунова-х2о]

Боже!!! Какое чудо!!!,это очень впечатляет. Вы супер мастер. Талант!!! Благодарю ❤❤❤❤❤

[@kathymathews1733]

Your genius makes me want to cry.

[@davescraftroom]

haha don't cry ;-) 😜👨🏻

[@annmhoulihan3054]

Great improvisational piecing, stunning results

[@ЮлияСвидерская-в8э]

Просмотрела несколько видео. В большом удовлетворении от просмотренного. Работы замечательные! Трудолюбие этого молодого дизайнера вызывает восторг и удивление. И огромное уважение. Редко среди квилтеров встречаю мужчин. И их работы всегда интересны и удивительны. Творческий потенциал мастера огромный! Для себя нашла несколько интересных идей. Возьму их в свою копилку. Спасибо!👍👏

[@cathynuytten798]

This quilt is a masterpiece!

[@susangodden9569]

Thinking out-of-the-box!!!! I love your imagination ❤ Keep it up!

[@aydggonz3805]

I love this quilt, and I’ve learned so much from just watching your videos. Your quilts are very artsy but functional. I bought a used bernina off of Craigslist locally for $300. I needed a new machine like I need a 3rd foot 😂 but it was a deal. No thread cutter but I didn’t use that either way cause I have snips that I’m used to using.

[@roosterquilter783]

EverSewn has several models with knee lift, decorative stitches and thread cutter. I have one and have found it to be very reliable. I know at one point Alex Anderson talking about the quality of EverSewn and we know she is a diehard Bernina fan

[@davescraftroom]

thanks, I'll look into it ! 😜👨🏻

[@rebeccatrombley6579]

Incredible! Your quilts are just outstanding. Thank you for sharing.

[@rebeccatrombley6579]

And you accomplish so much on your singer- a machine that so many of us have!

[@jillmacpherson8390]

Absolutely stunning

[@RebeccaTreeseed]

I have this book, just pulled it off the shelf. Time to try it out. Added freezer paper to my grocery list.

[@secretwindproductions2258]

This is amazing, and so inspiring! I love watching your videos, Dave. My Juki QVP 2000 has a thread cutter, a knee bar, and many decorative stitches, including text. It’s quiet and I love the feature where the needle stays down but the foot lifts up just a little bit so I can turn things around under the needle when I’m piecing. Great for curved piecing.

[@coreygilles847]

I have never really been interested in quilts that were made of circles…I like stars much more…but this quilt came out looking so magnificent…I might have to try making at least a block or two that feature circles

[@patromero4776]

Your amazing love it!! Love all your quilts ❤

[@juditepe8923]

DAVE you are amazing ❤ I look forward to seeing your new project as you are so very talented. Keep up the amazing work❤
