Quilt as you go Kantha technique by Terry Rowland

I have been working on my Kantha Quilt and many have been curious on my quilt as you go technique. Please watch the video to learn my method.

[@liammorris7989]

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

[@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

[@elenewood6032]

Thanks for the clear explanation of this, new to me, way of quilt as you go. I love the finished look and can’t wait to try it.

[@terryrowland398]

Awesome Ellen Enjoy your project

[@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!!!

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@ssoozee]

That quilt is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much!

[@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!

[@teresacesario6247]

Have learned so much from you. Thank you!

[@terryrowland398]

Happy to hear that Teresa

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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. 🤞🏼

[@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.

[@terryrowland398]

Thank you Kitina

[@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

[@donnadees1971]

Years ago I attended a showing of different kinds of quilts. Many had the stitching like you use all over your quilt. Now I see many using the same thing. Kudos for bringing stitching to our modern attention.

[@terryrowland398]

Thanks Donna

[@radhasrinivasan203]

Very good and easy technique!!! And that's such a beautiful and vibrant quilt!!Thank you so much for sharing.

[@saundraweed9738]

Great instructions. Easy to follow. What a great way to use up my fabric strips. Love the slow stitch technique you used to hand quilt. Gives it a wonderful texture. Thanks for sharing.

[@terryrowland398]

You are welcome Saundra

[@erinmandrell8682]

I love the style and colors you chose for this quilt!!! 🤩 This is exactly the technique I was searching for to start my next project!! Thank you!!!

[@terryrowland398]

Awesome

[@carolbrumlow4395]

Thank you so much for your video. I had not heard of the Kantha quilt, but now I know what to do with all of my strips that I have been saving for several years.) .😁

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!

[@terryrowland398]

[@beverlyarnold4147]

Thank you sooo much. I’ve wanted to do this. I found old flannel and I’m washing it now. Your experience is much sppreciated❤

Thank you Loretta that makes me smile

[@patriciaguevara8793]

This is amazing! I’m doing a quilt as you go right now and it’s just not working out. I’m calling it my “ugly quilt” - next time I’m using your method! Thank you - it’s a game changer for me 😊

[@terryrowland398]

That makes me so happy to hear Patricia

[@janicejames9350]

This method is clever! Thank you for sharing your talents!

[@srd7175]

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.

[@terryrowland398]

What you are describing is called Kawandi it is an African/Indian technique and I love teaching and making Kawandi quilts

[@lfuentes8891]

Thank you, thank you‼️❤️ I've been wanting to make a Kantha quilt and this is exactly how I'm going to make it, it's modern and it's fantastic. 😊

I am just learning the difference between kantha and kwandi. Thank you for this additional and much needed help quilting as you go for such a large-to-begin-with project as kantha is. I can't imagine how fussy it would be with jelly roll!! I have thread. I have needles. I have fabric. But which colors...the fun part of planning for me. Thanks again for this tutorial!!

[@sandramyer7081]

Very interesting and love your experience with this Kantha thing! Thanks again, Terry- I’ll have to practice this method for my new disabled working in quilts- Sandra Myer

I use this method but sew on my overlocker starting with rectangle then adding to each side the ends then sides until required size then fold in edges and then sew on binding. Just love your work.
