You have no idea how much I'm loving your videos!! Over the last 17 years I've gone from quilter & President of a local Quilt Guild to single mom working full time struggling to make ends meet. Now retired and so so eager to get my hands back into fabrics & yarn crafting!! Your videos are wonderful!!

[@TheFabricPatch]

Thank you!

[@MG-sy8pj]

"Don't do anything weird" is now my favourite quilting instruction. Thanks for the demonstration:)

[@TheFabricPatch]

Lol. A good mantra.

[@kathydekker8324]

Actually good life lesson! 😅

[@mbcalderwood]

Haha love it! Good advise for life.

[@zerozero9085]

To eliminate "finding the end" , just use soft stick painters tape to attach it to the Sewing table somewhere, it will be in place when you finish sewing all the strips together.

[@TheFabricPatch]

Super smart!

[@suemcclung5448]

Good thinking! I put a metal and plastic clip on the end of mine so I can easily feel it in the pile but I like the tape idea even better.

[@Tomes23]

Now I get it. I just got to this part!

[@Tomes23]

@@TheFabricPatch it was so adorable seeing you try to find it. I can see myself doing that a million times as well.

[@dorothyroush6273]

Thanks for that recommendation.

[@Tomes23]

When I was young, I used to live near the garment district. My sisters and I used to go out to the alleys and hunt around for scraps of fabric so that I could make clothes for their dolls. One summer, I made a quilt out of long strips. I wish I could go back there again to get fabric in order to do more quilts like the one you have created. I enjoyed this video immensely. Thank you!

[@S.Kay.Steffy]

I laughed out loud at your precious sarcastic humor... Love it, and your facial expressions matching. I so enjoy watching your videos💕. Here’s from one retired RN to another 😊👍

[@TheFabricPatch]

Thanks Sharon!!

[@lindarose9083]

I was shouting at the screen, "you have dropped some on the floor!!!!!". Only the cat heard me and he already knows that I am nuts so he just wandered off to find somewhere quieter to curl up and go to sleep. LOL. I am new to your channel and really enjoyed the video. Thank you.

[@TheFabricPatch]

Well I wish I would have heard you!! Or just checked... my apologies to your cat.

[@kathyeubanks5524]

Linda Rose I did too! 🤣

[@cherylwilliams42]

I just saw it fall off of the machine too.

[@gailbutler7873]

Great job!

[@gretroman8235]

Nice tips for the jelly roll quilt. Seeing it demonstrated and not worrying about twisted strips and color placement gives people permission to relax and enjoy the process. Loved your dog wandering in and out then waiting patiently for you in doorway. When our cats did that, we called them "speed bumps". I don't think you need anything to slow you down. Great channel.

[@TheFabricPatch]

Thank you so much!!

[@gloriamedina7883]

Get collagen powder ,bone broth, and geletin to heal grow bone. Thanks for the video.😀

[@maryzarate1562]

The best tutorial I have seen. I appreciate your calmness and good directions.

[@mbcalderwood]

Regular jelly roll makes a perfect throw size quilt. I made a queen size, no borders and started with 116 strips. 54 rows x 90" wide =4860 inches /42" strips = about 116 strips to start with.

[@paintbrush1718]

New to me..i started doing scrap quilts for charity at my church. Now i have a new way to use those strips. New fan

[@karenlea5292]

I’ve been thinking about this quilt since you showed and and I was excited to see the video, though I couldn’t imagine how you would do it with your poor leg. What a woman! I hope you get good news about your progress. Thank you for continuing to teach and entertain us. You and Breanna are a bright spot in these very trying times, and I’m grateful.

[@TheFabricPatch]

Thank you!! It was fun to sew. Leg is doing great. Got good news. Will be good as new very soon. So glad you hang out with us!!

[@sharong3721]

The Fabric Patch o-pp-

[@lisahook7978]

While Batiks do not have a VISIBLE selvage, they DO have a selvedge and it SHOULD be cut off as well since selvedges do not wash the same as the rest of the fabric.

[@cathymilson4386]

This is the best Kelly roll demo that I've watched on a long time. I love how clearly you explain things and I love how calming your voice is! Thanks so much for this!!!

[@TheFabricPatch]

Oh thanks!! That’s super nice!

[@gidget101]

What she said! 👌🏻

[@semco72057]

I like the way you sewed all of those patches together and they look great too. I am working on a quilt from pieces of material my grandmother was working on many years ago and didn't get to finish before she got ill and passed away. I am going to make a quilt out of those pieces and if I have enough I will make two quilts and then work on one from my ideas and see how it turns out. I won't be working on this full time since I have other things to work on like my lawnmowers and utility tractors so they will be ready for Winter and next Spring.

[@evelynfrench804]

I have made two jelly roll quilts and I love the sewing! It’s fun to see how they turn out. Thank you for sharing.

[@TheFabricPatch]

Thank you for watching!

[@heatherbott9909]

Excellent tutorial. I’ve never seen this idea demonstrated before. Thank you very much for putting this together!!!💐

[@gennieschmudde7044]

I love jelly roll quilts. Thanks for your take and the quilt is going to be beautiful. Again Thanks for all the work and time to teach us new tricks and tips to make quilting fun.

[@deannatrout8231]

I learned so much from you today! I never knew what to do with “jelly rolls” !

[@patandrews3288]

I’m glad I found you on KZbin. I’m going to watch you from now on. Love your unscripted voice. 🤗

[@TheFabricPatch]

Oh good!! Welcome! I love to sew with new friends!

[@kittyward7910]

This was great! And I did see the strips roll off and I was thinking, "oh, she'll get that, the person running her camera will tell her. Guess the camera was running itself. LOL!

[@TheFabricPatch]

Yes it was!! It was just me and Lizzy (the dog).

[@NotTheEx]

Can't thank you enough! Thoroughly enjoyed your video only days ago and today I completed my first jelly roll race "quilt" to gift my grandson for his birthday today. I kept tabs on the end piece, thanks to your tips. LOL

[@letigonzalez770]

Thanks for showing us how it is done. Love the puppy waiting so patiently for you to pay her some attention! Glad to hear you got good news. Take care and keep the videos coming.

[@TheFabricPatch]

Thank you!! We will. We have SO MANY planned!!

[@rogerholloway8498]

Nice to see the growth of your channel! 115,000 now, WOW! Always interesting and fun to see friends.

[@judyannyelton3906]

Perfect timing. Just saw this at my local quilt shop and wondered how it was made. We have a golden too. They are the sweetest dogs. Thanks for the awesome video. And good luck with the leg.

[@TheFabricPatch]

Oh good! And Thank you so much! Yes they have the sweetest personality don’t they?!? Everyone is their BEST friend.

[@Aunty23Fifi]

I REALLY TRULY appreciate the tutorial and will be adding this to my beginner project list! I love your tutorials, just hoping you get some rest and get better real soon. Thanks so very much!

[@shellyharrell7282]

Thank you for taking the time to show me “how to” do some simple tasks. I don’t always understand the vocabulary yet. The clarification helped tremendously!

[@TheFabricPatch]

I’m glad! You’re welcome.

[@cindyhappel7376]

Look at that sweet puppy keeping you company!!!

[@medawson01]

I am new to quilting. I’m taking a class now. I will definitely make this quilt soon.

[@judystone3645]

This was fun to watch. You made it easy to follow along. Sweet dog! Hope you continue to heal.

[@TheFabricPatch]

Thank you and thank you!

[@gillianarmstrong4845]

Love it, you made me laugh when you couldn’t find the other end, as that would be exactly me too. Here goes to me starting my jelly roll. Thank you for the videos, you’re great. 😊

[@lucilledaub5991]

I love this quilt.

[@angieallen4884]

I made a Jelly Roll Drag Race from Riley Blake's A Bee's Life Jelly Roll and I love it! it is a little tedious at the beginning but then suddenly it is ready for borders and backing! I used Boli Pop in black between the strips and it looks great. Love your videos!

[@gladysshirey8672]

WHAT??? I am so excited, i have many!! and I mean many, strips. I love to use everything so this is AWESOME. Love it. Than you Cindi, I hope you are healing well and not overdoing it!!

[@TheFabricPatch]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you’ll be making some!! I am doing well. Thank you so much for asking! I get to advance to partial weight-bearing this week!

[@ladypinkbagsetc.9116]

I’m so glad I found you and your channel. Not anywhere near new to sewing but I’m still a beginner to medium quilter. I love it more and more . I’m currently making a postage stamp quilt. I’ve been working on it for about 5 months when I’m not busy sewing clothing and home decor not to mention masks 🤦🏽‍♀️. New subscriber here! Prayers for continued healing!

[@TheFabricPatch]

Thank you so much!! A postage stamp quilt!! Impressive!! You are definitely not a beginner! I would love to see a picture of it when you get it done.

[@shobhajacob8915]

Your project was quite easy bizy you know you're dog is such adorable watching you all the time

[@susangauvreau6899]

This was very informative and it makes everything look so easy! I am ready to try it! Thank you for showing us the 1600 quilt!

[@user-ye4ps1iu6u]

Hello from southern Florida. I worked on quilts when I lived in Chicago. They don't need heavy quilts in southern Florida, so, I make quilts for my winter family and friends in the cold northern states. I enjoyed watching your channel tonight and will be back for more.

[@bethautrey9634]

So I got a new Janome sewing machine. Want so bad to just begin sewing! This is the first one that I think that will let me do that! I'm going out and buying a jelly roll so I can start RIGHT now! I am also a retired RN! Have never sewn a quilt! I love this video! Thank you!

[@TheFabricPatch]

Fun!! Congrats on your new purchase! Most of our patterns are geared towards beginners. You might find several that you will try. Shoot us a picture when you get done!

[@gaillouviere8471]

Awesome demonstration! Recently, I made one of these with totally random scraps. I can't believe how I stressed to avoid the twists when I could done your method! Now I'm motivated to do another race. Thank you.

[@TheFabricPatch]

That’s great!

[@barbaracarrubba1532]

A great, quick quilt!

[@bb121281]

Enjoyed this very much. I may try this in the near future!❤️

[@lindabrush8054]

I definitely want to try one after watching this! Thank you for the great video! Had to laugh by the way at the strips on the floor......that would have been me lol!

[@SparkyOne549]

All I need is a truck full of fabric to make king sized quilts for everyone. Thanks for this. I can’t wait to try it.

[@clombard7134]

So Funny! I saw some strips tumble and I thought maybe the fur baby got them. Your Jelly Roll Race quilt was entertaining to watch! I've only made one Jelly roll race quilt last year (my first quilt ever)and you've inspired me to make another! This one will be scrappier! Thanks for this tutorial!

[@TheFabricPatch]

Oh good!! You are welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@vickieskinner9863]

I did one of those a couple of years ago. They are fun for sure.

[@parisharrison6639]

I have a jelly with some age on it and so happy I will know how to make it. love this video. Thank you.

[@Su-du8rx]

Thank you so much. I love this. My first quilt. ❤. Still learning.

[@ashleyadams6803]

Watching for the first time, thoroughly enjoyed, you make it look so easy! I have never quilted before and my sewing machine is old so this looks like a good one to start with before investing in a new machine. Hope your leg heals soon! I’ve subscribed! Thanks!

[@TheFabricPatch]

Thank you so much!! We have several fun beginner classes we are featuring. Check out Brianna’s Nine Patch Shuffle!!

[@rjj2316]

That quilt is beautiful - Thank you!

[@kathyclayton4318]

YES! I did notice you dropped a bunch of strips but I figured you discovered them at some point before you finished! LOL. You could just add them to the bottom, cutting them off to the right size to match your width. Usually though with Jelly Roll Race Quilts, getting enough length is not the problem, but getting it wider is. Can’t add your lost strips to the side though. Well I guess you could.....would change the look but that’s ok too. It’s your quilt. Do whatever you like. You could add a that wayward strip to the side edge making it long enough to match. I have made at least 3 of these connecting the strips a little differently. So fun and what you get each time is so different than what you might expect. Lots of random color and some places where the same colors come together. Thanks for doing this even with your injured leg. You are a trooper!

[@TheFabricPatch]

You are so right about all of that. You and I think alike!! I think I’m going to insert an 8” panel and put a short 10” strip set on the side.

[@BeautifulOaks]

I’m glad you have a sense of humor finding that end. From watching your video, I may want to pin a ribbon to the end when I try the jelly roll quilt. I like the suggestion of the presser foot type. Thanks

[@julzhowlett2200]

Love your style & instruction.

[@kathyallen7289]

thank you.....you speak my language, lol....so nice and clearly..... so easy to follow instructions!!

[@maryannmcnees2921]

Loved the video, like all of your videos you give very clear and easy to understand Thank you for sharing.

[@karensmith2530]

I did mine the one strip at a time and was burned out. Wish i had seen this one earlier. This is so much easier. Thank you, karen

[@lindarosenthal6835]

Fun. Nice mindless sewing is needed sometimes. Thanks for sharing.

[@jacquel.5285]

Thank you so much. Wonderful and love there shop. I ordered a pattern and was pleasantly surprised. Thank you again and will definitely order again

[@TheFabricPatch]

That’s great! Thank you

[@SkyLynn-zb6ch]

Genius shortcut!!!

[@carolynbourgeois7989]

I'm new at quilting and this was the first time I've seen a demo for the Jelly Roll. This was so imformative and interesting.

[@dorothywarren426]

I have made this quilt before and it is much easier if you so strip to strip instead of pairs, then fours and so on.

[@cheryl8280]

Don't you just love that clear extension table? I got one about a month ago and after 50 years of sewing, I do believe it's my favourite sewing accessory. Thanks for the video. I'm going to try that.

[@TheFabricPatch]

I do love it. I am pretty sure I would not be able to sew without it.

[@stitchpenniesofficial]

I did notice, but the quilt top still looks great, so who cares 🤩 Thanks for the tutorial!

[@TheFabricPatch]

You are welcome!! I’ll show you guys how I fixed it in our next video.

[@bobsmith3790]

Gosh that was a great video! This is something new to me….actually it’s all pretty new to me. Thanks so much for sharing this. Something new to practice. I didn’t notice when this was made, but if it’s still a problem, I hope your leg gets better!

[@60nonie]

Thank you for sharing. Very well explained.

[@mickybearden9641]

You my Dear Quilt Sis are a Total Wahooooooo Hoot n a Hollar!!! I Enjoyed your Tutorial completely & You had me in Stitches (Pun intended) too!!! Love it!!! 👍❤️❤️

[@becky1789]

I’ve been laughing not at you with you I’ve done quite a few of these and the pile on the floor omgosh! Took me longer then 30 minutes but there quick and fun.

[@gloriwest]

Love this! Thanks for sharing! Such good instructions.❤❤❤

[@conniepayte7130]

Good Morning!! I began watching your tutorial and hit the subscribe button when you were looking for the end or your strips from the huge pile. Thinking that I was really going to enjoy learning from you. I loved your fur face waiting for you to finish your project. She's beautiful!!

[@TheFabricPatch]

Thank you so much! Her name is Lizzie!

[@Wisepati]

Instead of sewing two at a time I have seen people take the end of a previously sewn strip and sew the next onto that much like making binding, and so on and until they have one huge long strip, and then cut it in half, so it together and repeat. Interesting to see it done another way.

[@ushadesai1222]

Very simple method.Thanks a ton!

[@barbarahartel671]

This looks so easy , fast and fun

[@justbecause11111]

I love how your doggie is nearby watching you!

[@TheFabricPatch]

Yes she’s always close!

[@susanrymer2418]

Enjoyrd the video, love easy!

[@sherrillyoung5890]

Thank you that's great!

[@SewKnot.in.time2012]

I had some jelly roll scraps and gave it a try - fun, thanks!

[@TheFabricPatch]

Great! It is fun isn’t it!

Great I love it 😍 Thank you for teaching me 👍👏🏻👏🏻

[@mistyedilson9629]

That is awesome! Thanks for the video. 💕

[@jaiknight6130]

I just came across this video, since I am learning how to quilt, and your personality and clarity of your instructions gave me the motif to try it. You are like my memaw.. love it, new sub!!

[@maryvasquez2515]

I have a couple of Halloween jelly rolls can't wait to start thank you.

[@DianaHarveyClark]

Thank you this was fun!

[@kentuckylady7344]

I enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us..

[@dianneunderwood8456]

Very informative and well demonstrated. Sorry to see you are healing from a broken leg, tho! I have lots of "related" fabric pieces and think this would be a great idea for a future project. Thank you

[@TheFabricPatch]

That’s great! Thank you.

[@terridunning3450]

Great fun!!!

[@lynnbennett8739]

Learned something new, great video!

[@TheFabricPatch]

Great!! Thanks!

[@sharimorris1021]

Thank you so much for this video. I think this is something to try making.

[@Jane-fq6uz]

Brilliant really helpful. Many thanks

[@BarbZeb]

I so very much loved this, thank you for going through the steps, you did an awesome job of showing how to do it. I've been a quilter since the 80's but haven't started one since the early 2000's, this just might be the ticket. I do however, have many many UFO's, I should bring those out and finish. You would not believe my fabric stash!

[@TheFabricPatch]

I’ll bet I would!! Cut done into strips and make a 1600!

[@mlperkol8]

You make finding the other end of the long strip look so easy. ;) Ha ha! I had to laugh as you searched for it. Loved this video. After a very difficult few days it was fun to have this to watch. I had to come back & edit. I loved seeing Lizzy laying in the doorway at the end. Really missing my golden girl, Lola, though she always tried to lay under my sewing table to get as close to me as possible. Ha ha!

[@TheFabricPatch]

Yes! She gets bored with my sewing. Are you going to get another golden? Sounds like you still have so much love to share. I remember you telling me about Lola.

[@mlperkol8]

Cindi, I would love to get another golden. It’s not a good time right now, but maybe in a couple of years. I’ll just enjoy my little glimpses of Lizzy for now. If I lived your way I’d come out and take her on walks while you healed. I’m glad you’re doing better. ❤️

[@joanstrause5345]

Thank you, great job!🤗

[@willowmoonlabradors]

Hi! I'm new to quilting and this video makes me really want to jump in! So im searching for jelly rolls. Thank you for sharing this. Im hoping to make a few full size bed quilts. So im off to do my math!

[@TheFabricPatch]

Yay!! Have fun

[@lynnleipold273]

Yours is the best tutorial on this that I have seen. Oops, I forgot to cut off 12” at the beginning. Oh well, many of my seams match. I’ll know better the next time. Being an old sewer, I couldn’t resist pressing after every seam.

[@TheFabricPatch]

Well there’s nothing wrong with that!

[@denisebetz7632]

So nice!

[@kathyeubanks5524]

I know those were all basically leftovers, but I absolutely love the colors and patterns together! Beautiful job!

[@TheFabricPatch]

Thank you so much!

[@noelykeffer2225]

Nice job, tks for sharing. I noticed you used mostly very light colors. Was it on purpose? If I mix all colors, dark too, does the end result change much?

[@wendyhollow1458]

I watched for ages thinking..."I know you." and then I realised all those mask tutorials!! And just as this is yours was best. Yay. Thanks for the really important " Cut off the first 12ins so they are not stacked." Hugs WAH in Oz,

[@TheFabricPatch]

Hi Wendy!! Yes that’s me! Now it’s time to sew do thing fun!

[@EverythingGharelu]

I love this video

[@louettesommers8594]

Your fabric choice is really very pretty.

[@TheFabricPatch]

[@TheBethoula]

Well that was fun!

[@carolware1969]

I enjoyed this lesson. I am a beginner at this so I will be starting one this week I’m sure. Thank you for showing us 😊

[@TheFabricPatch]

I’m so glad!! It’s addicting... you’ve been warned!

[@bethpelley2752]

I can’t wait to try one!

[@TheFabricPatch]

Oh good! Super fun!

[@karenhoneycutt1748]

You are too funny! Enjoyed the video and now I have to make one. Thanks,
