I love that you said you dont want to race. So many videos on quilt in a day. I love every step of the way. I like to take my time and enjoy quilting. Also love that you made your own jelly roll. You bet i am going to do that!
I am not sure I ever saw a jelly roll race pattern that spoke to me. I really love that you took the time to roll it and tied it with a bow.. I think I would have done the same! Great video as always!!❤
Lovely blocks! It’s so funny to me that I hadn’t even remembered that it was jelly roll day, but guess what!?! Ironically, today’s sewing project just so happened to be with a jelly roll! I had made my own some time ago using beautiful selvages collected from my projects but I did not know exactly what I wanted to do with them. I decided to sew some of them into a sewing machine cover so I could reminisce about the projects I have made. So thank you for the reminder, Kathy. Good to know that I didn’t miss celebrating the special sew day! ❤️
I saw that you pinned your seams…mine dont always nest properly, is pinning the key? I also have a terrible time when stitching over a seam where the seam allowance is ironed upwards, not downwards. My allowances fold over on themselves. If the upward allowance is on the bottom, i often have to rip, adjust and retry. Sometimes it takes more than two seams to flatten those allowances
Well that green plaid is certainly the maverick...im so proud of you for being brave znd adding that to your jelly roll choices. It really gives the spark needed for a pleasant color variation. That pattern is wonderful!!! The color pallet possibilities are endless, arent they? Fall colors are so appropriate ❤ for the season. My mind is also traveling to batiks, ombre, or even a jazzy Kaffe collection. You have inspired us to give this pattern a try!! Viewing from Arizona
I wasn't sure if buying men's shirts was worth it until I watched your video last night about the cost compared to your friend's quilt. Went to Goodwill on our way home and first shirt I see is a green stripe, men's XL, 100% cotton with a pink 1/2 off tag! Bought 4 shirts for $14. I love a treasure hunt that saves me money!
Yes,Kathy I agree quilting is therapy!! Love your color way and pattern especially the scrappy blocks. I love improv quilting so doing a color scheme like this would be great for me 😊
Jelly rolls are so much fun to work with! I love the colors in your personally curated jelly roll from shirts! Saturday I'll be at a local quilt store attempting A woven bag from a jelly roll. It's supposed to look like a diamond pattern if done correctly.
Your color palette is perfect! I also started a quilt with a jelly roll last night, but I actually needed a lot more strips, so I dug through my stash and cut the equivalent of another whole jelly roll. I'm sewing two strips together, cutting them into equilateral triangles, and then assembling them into hexagons. It is definitely NOT a one weekend project! Like you, I wanted a quilt I really like rather than rush through it.
Hi there from the North West USA. I love your videos and your attitude. I always say, " I'm not built for speed." lol So no racing for me either! Thank you for sharing with us. You make me smile often. I'm a beginner quilter.
Love the Cluck Cluck Sew patterns! Block based quilts work great for me as a "working" quilter. They help me keep myself motivated when I have to set it aside and go to work.😉🎉
Giselle, I agree 100%! Block based quilts work great for me too...some patterns are just so much easier than others to walk away from (and come back to!)
I love your choices!!! I want to be brave like that! You inspire me regularly to think outside of the box when pairing colors and fabrics etc.this block is pretty! It's going to look amazing.
You are so fun to listen to! (Which is different from “you are funny so I listen to you”), ya know? Thank you for encouraging us to think about making our own jelly rolls and actually using jelly rolls!
I am inspired by your attention to detail. I love watching just how neat you are getting rid of all of those little threads. :) I can only aspire to do this. A work in progress for me. Gotta love a swiffer!
Your color sense is so precise and the descriptions and names of the colors match that precision. Beautiful representation of a fall forest❤️. It is going to be gorgeous!
Aww! Thank you, Mable! All credit goes to my husband, Paul, who does the camera work, editing and sound engineering (and in this case, music selection!) ❤️
I truly love your Autumn jelly roll fabrics❣️ I JUST realized that I have the Tangled pattern by Cluck Cluck Sew and haven't used it yet. I am so excited to see how you put yours together. I have only watched 12 min. One tip that I have learned from another RUclipsr is instead of stacking your fabrics to offset them by lining them up on your mat lines and only overlapping a potion of the strip. That allows you to see where the seams are.
Have you ever watched Ellenor Burns of Quilt in a Day? When I began quilting she was the only quilter on television. I leaned to quilt from her and also from 1 quilting class where we met at a quilt shop1 day a week in 1980. (No rotary cutters, no quilting rulers, scissors and cerial boxes) She is very old now, but so am I. Her company is now in California and her son runs it and you can buy quilting fabric and notions inexpensive. She is so funny. I wish you would try to find one of her old shows and watch it. I can see you laughing out loud and having a fun time watchhing her. Please? Bring a bit of extra joy into your fun quilting life and when you think of her and back on her show think of me (A RN of over 45 years) and how fun my quilting jourrney was and still is today as my 78 year old husband walks past my sewing room door and hears me laughing and tossing scraps over my shoulder. (You will understand after you watch her.) He shakes his head and walks on.....
I don’t like all the cutting so I line them up and slightly overlap strips then cut the row if same cuts for each strip😊hope that makes sense love listening to you so calming
My husband is retired and just went through years worth of dress shirts and casual shirts for giveaway before our church rummage sale. He must have had 100, nearly all 100% cotton and XXL size range! I kept a couple dozen with the thought of harvesting quilt fabric. I’m now in the midst of cutting them up into 3 inch strips and making picnic blankets for each of our kids. One will be red/white/blue dress shirts, another pale grays, tans and yellow and a third of fall colors from the more casual shirts. I’m leaving the strips in a variety of lengths. The amount of fabric per shirt is incredible, and the process of harvesting is very relaxing. Thanks to you for the ideas that got me going.
I made a jelly roll today 😊but, I didn’t start sewing it yet. LOL. I get too many things going at one time. I decided to work on my Great Granny Squares quilt that I had already started. I love this video Kathy and your quilt is going to be beautiful!
Hooray for making your own jelly rolls!🤩 As for doing too many things at one time--same, girl, SAME! But I usually go for the new project instead of working on something I've already started! 😂 Thank you for watching and commenting!❤️
Hi Cathy, Thank you for showing the system of putting together a jelly roll, then the cutting, pinning, sewing, pressing of the blocks. I'm a visual learner, and this really helped me. I couldn't make my mother's bannock until I saw exactly what she was doing. Now I can make the perfect bannock. AND the perfect jelly roll! LOL. Love your videos. All the best.
No need to put the strips on top of one another if it makes you anxious. You can always lay them side by side next to each other and cut multiples at one time that way.
Good morning Cathy, I love the colors you picked, you do such an amazing job everytime! This is such a fun pattern! The “scrap” block looks so good! Can’t wait to see the completed quilt! I have some left overs forms a Christmas jelly roll, so I may put together a table runner, that seems to be my “jam” lately. Have a wonderful day and weekend! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I recently drove through Virginia and they had a highway campaign going: “All ya’ll need to slow down.” Sounds perfect for my quilting and a great life practice!
YES! I don't want to race either. I get the idea, but I'm just not interested either. I even take a day off from piecing because I want to slow it down lol I don't want to rush, I want to enjoy it. (except the actual quilting... that I want to rush because I dislike it)
Thanks so much for your videos ❤ I too usually "work backwards" at my own slow pace. 😂 Thanks for your wisdom and wit. ❤ Kudos for your supportive husband. 👍
"It will not be noticed on a galloping horse." This is going to be interesting. I love what I am seeing so far. Don't you just love "Cliff Hangers"? Thank you for this video.
Such a cool pattern! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You know, I’ve decided that I don’t need plaid piecing to match up, as long as the vertical lines and horizontal lines are close to parallel from piece to piece - as long as the fabric’s pattern is square, I guess you could say. Your blocks look so nice! And isn’t chain piecing gratifying? Your mind can wander as you sew, and then before you know it, a big chunk of work is accomplished. Can’t wait to see how your blocks are arranged.
Have you tried seaming shirts into a strip using a mitre, like for binding? It uses more fabric but the entire seam would not fall into a future quilt seam, only a bit of it would. Might make the seams easier to deal with.
great video! how did you cut jelly strips from shirts? is there a tutorial? where i live there are no quilting shops and quilting fabrics are hard to find so i use a lot of repurposed fabrics in my sewing, i would love to make jelly rolls from these fabrics. take care
@@TheCatBirdQuilts thank you. Binding is now on the quilt and waiting for a friend to do a label! Closer to the finish line for this quilt. And I love hand binding, so that won't be a chore.
When easing in a seam that is a bit too large, place it on the bottom of the two pieces then sew together. The feed dogs naturally take up a bit of the bottom fabric and your two pieces should come out even in the end. What wood is your clapper made from, by the way?
Thank you for that tip, Venetia! 🤓👍🏻 I'm not sure actually, about the wood...a viewer/friend has a husband that does woodworking and he made it for me! 🤩❤️
13:37. Kind of like the ice bucket challenge 8-10 years ago … I, Cheeky Mare, challenge you, Cat Bird, to try putting a few seamed pieces (of the same fabric) in a block and see if your husband can find the seamed piece in a finished quilt. I have made cutting errors before and just sewed the fabric back together and recut and no one has ever noticed … especially if you aren’t going to enter the quilt into a show. In fact, I have put the same seamed piece in every block one time and then that is a design choice. All this to say, calm down lady. Lol 24:38 this part says it
Hi, Cathy, I've just found you recently, and we've already spent a lot of hours together in our respective sewing spaces. On your jelly roll video, I noticed that you used your mat to measure strips, vs using the ruler. It felt backwards to me, and wonder if there's some reason you do so? Thank you!
@@TheCatBirdQuilts Is warm and natural good cotton batting to use?? I got batting size twin 72 inches * 90 inches.. what rule is you using to cut the 2 inch square… I’m a beginner like to have all my stuff for the winter so I can try to do a quilt top…thank you

My Granny's version was "no-one running for their life would notice!" I love your quilt!
Thank you, LJ! ❤️ And I love your Granny's version and will be using that moving forward!
I saw that you pinned your seams…mine dont always nest properly, is pinning the key?
I also have a terrible time when stitching over a seam where the seam allowance is ironed upwards, not downwards. My allowances fold over on themselves. If the upward allowance is on the bottom, i often have to rip, adjust and retry. Sometimes it takes more than two seams to flatten those allowances
Hi Kathy! I just love your videos. Your voice is like butter. ❤❤
I agree. So soothing. Wonderful to listen to.
I thought it was just me with her voice! She should do some quilting stories that we could use for insomnia. I’d fall asleep for sure! In a good way!
I absolutely love that you rolled the strips and tied with a ribbon...
Well that green plaid is certainly the maverick...im so proud of you for being brave znd adding that to your jelly roll choices. It really gives the spark needed for a pleasant color variation.
