I love love love this quilt, ordered the pattern and some Batik in purples. Can't wait to start this. Love doing stain glass quilts and the grapes are amazing. Thanks for the great tutorial.
Nice job on showcasing this method, and it has been around as a technique for awhile. (Books on the subject include a “rot iron” look very similar. I love the visual you show on the process and Good thoughts on the FMQ! With batik there is less fraying and of coarse the colors are gorgeous. Love that you used precut package to its advantage. Another method I’ve tried on the appliqué fabric is using a nylon thread in the bobbin to stitch the feature, like a grape, on fabric then iron the stitching to melt the nylon down on the background. Next trim close to the stitching,pull out the top thread. This gets the glue on the edge where it’s needed. A black fabric marker can also “touch up” any edges. That works for a printed fabric as well as a batik. Got the nylon thread from Superior Threads. Happy quilting!
I just came upon this video and the poppy flower video. LOVE this one. I found some amazing patterns by searching for stained glass patterns - rather than quilt patterns and then adjusted them to the concept of the stained glass quilt. It is a lot of fun and looks amazing Thanks Rob
This is super awesome way of the "stain glass " technique! Don't know if I will do my own quilt with the grape pattern but definitely making my own quilt with this method. Thanks so much! I wasn't really loving the bais tape idea.
I learned how to create stained glass pieces before I learned how to piece a quilt. While I was learning how to piece a quilt, I kept thinking how it was just stained glass with fabric! I kept so many stained glass cartoons in hopes of being able to turn at least one of them into a quilt. You have definitely helped me to see now how I can do it! I LOVE this one, btw! Thanks!
I love what you are doing with this grapes window quilt. This is a fresh idea , you could teach this way of applique to so many of us. Keep up the good work!
You've done it again Rob. I love quilting and I love stainglass. Now i can do both because you've shown me an easier way. I have thought of your way several times but i find as I'm getting older I don't jump right in and just do it like I use too. I need to see for sure it can be done. Your the greatest.
I’ve had a stained glass pattern (for true stained glass work) that I have saved because I wanted to make it in fabric, but I just hated the whole idea of hand turned appliqué of such small pieces that it would take. THIS tutorial has put it ‘on the list’ to be worked on. THANK YOU. I wish I lived closer, I’d enjoy taking a class with you. Your energy is contagious even thru videos. PS-Never a pane in my glass! LOL
Rob your enthusiasm is infectious. I thought the quilt might be too complicated for me, but seeing you put it together it looked like a jigsaw puzzle and as is love them I think I must have a go. Thanks
Hi, Rob! My first ever quilt had a large appliquéd family tree. It was a gift for my dad. I swore I’d never do it again, but after watching you do this quilt and the poppy quilt, I’m excited to go be it another try!
This is awesome! I do stained glass, I have grapevines and I am a quilter. This hits all three "points of interest" for me and I love it. It truly looks like some of the stained glass work I have done and you have turned it into a quilt. I have been looking for a design to showcase my beloved grapevines and can't wait to do this one! I enjoy your videos so much. Your enthusiasm always makes me want to jump into whatever project you are showing us.
Awesome. Looks hard but also fun. Thanks for sharing your techniques. Quilters are going to go crazy over this project. Can’t wait to view your next stain glass project.
This was great but I am not quite ready for something this detailed in quilting. I learned how to hand quilt when I lived overseas, and also learned to patchwork by hand. I love the concept, but will need something a bit easier to start out with in machine quiliting. Thank you so much for sharing. It is beautiful !!!
This is the first time I have seen something like this ... Truly apiece of art. Never dreamed something like this could be done this way. I love it! Got to try it.
I have been doing this technique for many years. I have know it as called: raw edge quilting and travel stitching. Beautiful design Rob, well done. Love your pattern.
Thank you Rob!!! You put so much time, and yourself into everything you create. I love watching you and trying my hand at many of your projects. You struck my heart's desire with this one!!! A few projects to finish THEN I'm free to do this one.
I enjoyed your new technique for stained glass. I am like you; I almost never follow a pattern with out some modification or total revamping. But I still appreciate the PDF for an idea. Thanks so much for you masculine spin on things. BTW I have two adult kids. Both were taught to sew during our homeschooling years. My son is the one who sews now.
Rob, this is just the best! Love your creativity, and this makes the appliqué not look so intimidating, but actually doable even for a beginner like me! Thanks!
Great tutorial Rob! I really like the contrast of this method vs the "lead" method. The "lead" method allows for a perfect 1/4" seam but this method really lets the organic nature of the grape vines come through the project.
OMGOODENESS! !!! I am in love with this. I just found yesterday a picture of grapes that I was going to use as inspiration for who knows what, so seeing this rocked my world in a great way. I gotta make this. Just to find the time! Yikes, your genius is driving me nutso. As always your colors/fabric choices give me life!
I love this idea and can’t wait to try my own! Thank you for the great tutorial. Honestly, I thought of the idea just this morning, and now found these videos from you showing me how to do just what I envisioned!
This is gorgeous! The colors are so rich and deep, I love it! And it really doesn't look all that hard; I think using the black fabric for the 'canvas' makes it much easier. Thanks for another great tutorial, Rob!
Not a fond lover of applique but love this. I have a ScanNCut to cut all these tiny pieces. Can’t wait to do one of these. My mind is running wild with great ideas. Thanks. You do very well explaining this technique. Love all your videos.
Beautiful piece. I especially love how the batiks in the background look like glass with light coming through. It is amazing. I especially love these "painterly" type projects.
Rob, my hubby and I just love your energy, creativity and love for quilting. Thank you for designing this quilt. Just beautiful. I can't wait to start this one. Heck with those other UFO's!! lol
I would give my eye teeth *if they weren't pulled years ago for the sake of braces* to have your talent and confidence! This quilt is so amazing! You never cease to amaze me!
I had Steam-a-Seam left over from another project so I used that instead of Heat and Bond. The Steam-a-Seam pieces stay in place SO much better than the Heat and Bond while laying this out!
This is absolutely gorgeous and Wow! Great idea for that stained glass look!!!!!!! The possibilities are endless!!!!! Thank you so much for the tutorial!!!!!! You've goven me a great idea!!!!!
Wow, wow, wow. My absolute most favorite you have done yet. I do not miss any of your videos. I am so intrigued by your work but very intimidated to try myself. This may be one that I might just try and overcome that fear of appliqué. Who knows may be my next summer project since I am a special needs teacher and I need much needed summer vacay projects. I am dying for one of your scissors T-shirts.
Great use of negative space in this design! Love it. I also like how you just brush all the scraps on the floor... a practice I need to start to own. ;)
This is just gorgeous! I have always loved stained glass and wanted to do it but I am afraid of the glass shards. Love batiks as well. So now, thanks to your genious, I can combine them to use some of the stained glass patterns that I have collected over the years to make wall quilts, table runners, pillows and even fabric lamp shades. Now I just have to save up to get your cutter and the fabrics I need. I am so excited to start this, thank you so much, you are awesome! Will be sure to send you pics of what I come up with. Subscribed so I do not miss any of your great ideas. Bless you!
Beautiful! Rob this tutorial came at a perfect time I’m just planning the quilting on a “stained glass” panel. I will use the black lines to travel around the “glass”. Thanks!
Love the video. I've been wanting to do a stained glass wall hanging duplicating a window in a church building and was trying to figure out the best way to do it. I think this will work!
This is so beautiful!!😍 Especially from a distance it really looks like a stainglass window. the shades of purples and blues blend so well. Maybe you could do a series of it in all kind of colors 😉like with poppies in reds, a seaside view in blues and teals, an orangetree in orange🍊... I would absolutely love that. keep on designing! love from the Netherlands
Fantastically beautiful. Suitable for Thanksgiving feast. I love your videos and your way of showing and explaining everything. Thank you and keep it up. LG Gisela
OMG I am in love with this pattern! when I see something I like I usually just put it on my to do list. But this one I went straight to the link to buy all the supplies I need so I could get started immediately I was able to purchase everything except for the fabric which is sold out I immediately went online to find it apparently it's very hard to find nobody seems to have it.. hopefully I can find something else that will work can't wait to get started on this it's absolutely beautiful thank you for sharing love all your tutorials
This is the perfect project for my mother (whom had a stroke and cannot use her right side anymore). What I mean is, she is an artist and drew out an arbor with flowers draped over it and a pot on the side for balance using her left hand, so it’s not as pretty as it might have been a year ago before her stroke. She has asked me to make a quilt using this picture! I’m NOT the artist in the family. But, I’ve taken your class for the reverse appliqué (in Kansas) and have your technique in mind. Now with your newest grapevine project I have hope of making mom’s arbor! Thank you so much for this tutorial. Finally, I have a question for you Rob, if I sent you her picture could you make a pattern. For me? This could b a great Mother’s Day gift!
I love love love this quilt, ordered the pattern and some Batik in purples. Can't wait to start this. Love doing stain glass quilts and the grapes are amazing. Thanks for the great tutorial.

You are such a talented quilting artist. Always stretching our brains to try new things. Love it!!
I make stained glass as well as quilts. This is genius. I love it
Rob your enthusiasm is infectious. I thought the quilt might be too complicated for me, but seeing you put it together it looked like a jigsaw puzzle and as is love them I think I must have a go. Thanks
This is fabulous! You have inspired me to do so much more than I ever could have thought of myself! Thank you! 💟💟💟
I'm relatively new to sewing and am not that confident. Watching your vids make me excited to try new things and this looks amazing! Thank you!

The colorful batiks were perfect for this. It is beautiful.
This is the best sewing channel on RUclips. You are amazingly talented.

Thank you Rob for all your knowledge and helpful tips. I just got this pattern and this will be my first quilt.
Beautiful !! Like the concept of the 'lead light' it looks more user friendly then 1/4" system
Thank you Rob. this is such a beautiful quilt! I love your Technique, your colors and the new way of doing stained glass! Absolutely beautiful
This is absolutely gorgeous and Wow! Great idea for that stained glass look!!!!!!! The possibilities are endless!!!!! Thank you so much for the tutorial!!!!!! You've goven me a great idea!!!!!
Fantastic Rob!! This was an inspiring project to learn from concept to execution! Respecting the negative space to make the lead is a great approach.
The quilt looks so beautiful.. Love the colors.
Beautiful wall hanging and fun technique!
Rob, that is a beautiful piece of artwork and excellent fabric selection for it. Great work.
Wow, wow, wow. My absolute most favorite you have done yet. I do not miss any of your videos. I am so intrigued by your work but very intimidated to try myself.
