Lo v e your colors and lines. This kind of quilting suits me more than recreating a traditional pattern, and your tip about deciding the color sequence before stitching is so important. Do you have demonstrations using printed fabrics?
Hi Jean, I love your books and videos. I am a visual learner…can you please demonstrate how to cut and sew-in a partial insert? I can’t seem to get it from the book illustrations.
Hi Dela! We posted this on behalf of Jean Wells in partnership with her book release. You might want to reach out to her directly via her website, jeanwellsquilts.com. She may have a tutorial out there that we don't know about!
i dont mean to be off topic but does someone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost my login password. I love any tips you can offer me.
@Amos Ismael thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I love your designs!!! You have inspired me! I have never quilted and want to start. Two questions if you please. Do these pieces then get appliqued onto a large background material? Also what material should I purchase for a backing? Thank you for sharing you work!
Great questions, Joy! Jean Wells does not appliqué her work onto a larger background. And below is what she has to say about choosing a backing: "Thin batting is preferable to keep wall quilts flat. Cotton batting is most frequently used, but new battings keep coming on the market. The new silk cotton batting is very soft and works well, as does bamboo batting. An art-quilting friend of mine likes to use wool batting. Although it is loftier, she steams it so it lies down and becomes denser, which gives a nice flat appearance, especially when she is using silk for the quilt top. On some of my very small quilts, I chose to use flannel or no batting at all. It all depends on the look you want." We highly suggest you purchase a copy of Intuitive Color & Design by Jean Wells to get the full advantage of her expertise.
@@randibgoodI'm so sorry! Here is what Jean Wells has to say about backings (actually, this time!): "Batiks are tightly woven fabrics that work well for backings. Lighter-weight decorator fabrics are also more stable than regular cotton goods. Whatever you choose for the backing, remember that it is an integral part of the look of the quilt and should thus complement the top."
Such a gift you have and a sharing heart for your fellow quiltmakers! Sew many thanks, Jean Wells!!!
Excellent video. To the point and with enough emphasis to really be useful!
Thank you. That was very helpful. I might do this on my next project.
Very exciting.
Amazing!
Beautiful work, nicely explained. Thank you.

I appreciate your well planned and delivered presentation on the gentle curving, good refresher. Thanks, Jean. Penny U.

@@CandTPublishing the question is about backing, not batting.

It’s sew Beautiful
Is there any reason why instead of following the edge you just cut to cut the next could you not cut them together?
Здравствуйте, очень хочу сшить это одеяло, красивое очень какая Вы молодец, 🙏💕
Love your work! Does it matter whether your fabric is on the bias or not?
It is better if it is not on the bias.
Jean suggest cutting on the straight grain.
❤️❤️❤️
