Love your quilt and April’s super size blocks. Both are beautiful. I have not made a Jacobs ladder yet. I did not realize the block is so easy. Looking forward to seeing the finish quilt.
Great color lessen! My granddaughter is in her first year of college studying art. This semester, they're studying, wait for it, the color wheel, so I'm getting lots of instruction and/or affirmations! Love it and love your channel. Thank you!!
I love to see that you pressed from the back. I did that too and didn't know it was a thing. :-). I always have a great time when we do quilts together and you are so good with color. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge about color with my and my channel. And now I know how to pronounce analogous. PERFECT FABRIC FOR THE BORDER. And that bling cup is awesome! Love you bunches. April
What a great video. I've never used a colour wheel, but see how useful it would be when choosing fabric for a pattern. I generally like bold colours, but find my finished product often looks too busy. Too much contrast! I'd love to try making a monochromatic quilt. April's choice of colours reminded me of an old saying I heard often from my grandmother. "Blue and green should not be seen together, except in the washing machine." Thank goodness those old rules have gone out the window. Thanks again, Di, for sharing more great information!
I love your comment Lynda!! Your grandmothers saying is hilarious, LOL! I am a bold color lover as well, If your finished product looks too busy, you might check you color placement and values, the light and dark of each color. This quilt was a good example of how the background fabric and a consistent pattern creates harmony. I'm glad you liked the video feel free to email me if you want to have a more detailed conversation. Thanks as always for watching my channel :)
Loved this video! I’ve always wanted to make a Jacobs ladder quilt but thought it would be better in two colors. Now you and April have shown me that I don’t have to!! Cant wait to see what wips you have going!! I have more than I care to admit lol
So glad you liked it Marie. I always thought a Jacob’s Ladder was a difficult pattern to make. Looks like we were both surprised😱 I’ve been working on and filming my WIP’s all day and have 11 To Do’s checked off my list. Now you know more than any viewer. I’m pooped out and going to bed. 🥱😴 Thanks for watching my channel 😍❣️ Di
Glad it was helpful! Yes, the struggle is real and it will just take time and expereince. If you're putting your own fabrics together I would audition, audition then ask a friend to look at your pulled fabrics. Of course another easy way is to buy fabrics from the same line or even kits for a break! Thank you for watching my channel, I appreciate it! :)
I'm so happy to hear that this little bit helps Theresa. Do you have quilty friends you can ask for help? Or maybe the chicks at the quilt shop? All I can say is aduition, audition, audition. Heck, you can even email me pictures and I'll givfe you my opinion, LOL.
This color lesson was so fun. I struggle understanding what goes and what doesn’t so this was a great start for me. I’m that person who grabs fabric that looks good to me and starts cutting…then I make a block and…don’t like it. 🤪 I think it’s time I buy a color wheel. 😉 Have a marvelous weekend Miss Di…Thanks for taking the time to guide us. So very sorry for your loss. Hugs and prayers to the family. 🤗🙏🤗🙏
I learned a lot about color and the color wheel. I struggle sometimes to put colors together and this will help me out. I love color and your quilt is fabulous and I like the border you selected. Thank you Di! 💕
Glad to hear you learned from it😍 I auditioned several fabrics from the feedback line and several of them would have worked, so I’m happy to hear you like it too 😊‼️
I like the border you picked. I get on a kick when buying fabric. Sometimes traditional and sometimes bold ( kaffe Fassett.). There isn’t any fabric stores near so I usually buy online. It’s nice to learn something new. You and April are a hoot. Can’t wait to see your WIPs. Have a good weekend with the Engineer. Heat wave broke yay
I'm so glad to hear that Abeullah :) Really? I think of NJ of having everything. You will probabliy recognize a lot of my WIP's as manyof htem are from videos, LOL. You and your bubby have a great week too, our heat wave is gone as well.
Don't care for yellow or orange or brown so I struggle with these colors. (I'm a Summer so these are not my colors LOL). Had to make a special trip to the store to make my Ukraine window quilt and even then I picked a yellow with a blue pattern in it. I almost never choose green unless I need a leaf or I'm making something for the GGS who loves green. So now I know I tend to make analagous quilts. Love love Red -- so I range through maybe peach (no closer to orange) to pinks and reds and fuschias and purples through blues all the way to teals and turquoise (no closer to green). I've sometimes added white for contrast, but they need to have some pattern in them, not just plain white. Love to add greys and blacks as the background colors instead, so I also have a collection of these in my stash. Thanks for this lesson. Your blocks are beautiful, by the way. The colors are a subdued tone and that makes them look good together as well.
I've never personally cared for yellow or brown quilts, however since I've been quilting for others I've see some amazing brown and yellow quilts that are amazing! It's all in how you put the fabric together. I too tend like to prefer analagous themed quilt. Actualy, the quilt in the video was not easy for me ot make, but I think it turned out. Glad you liked the color lesson Cynthia.
Maggie’s on Main has the entire Feedsack line, it’s so cute. Their website isn’t up yet but you can buy over the phone. (208) 369-4310 Thanks for watching my channel 😊‼️
I'm pretty sure April doubled it, mine were 12.5 unfinished and hers was 24". I have the 12" block measurements in the description below. I hope that helps Karen and thank you for watching my channel!
April did what I have problems with, in her Green Batik blocks, the medium and light greens disappeared into one another under direct light. For me this problem appears more when viewed in low light, i.e. twilight or the lamp is across the room/from the hallway. How do we conquer this from the beginning?
That is a a value problem ( light and darks) To find the value lay the fabrics you’re working with and take a picture in back and white. Two or more colors may look the same in black and white even though they look different in color. This is also a good way to balance the colors when you’re with ID in ac design wall. To solve add colors with more contrast that still blend together for harmony. I hope this helps, thank for watching my videos😊❣️
Both yours and April's quilts are very pretty! 😍😍😍 Thank you for sharing. 😊🍁🍂🍃🍊🦃
You are so welcome 😊 thank you for watching my channel ‼️
Absolutely love it!
Oh im so glad you love your new tumbler…💚💚 i love when you and April do your videos.. she is a hoot.
Hazel loves it too, she always wants to take it from me because it’s so sparkly✨✨❇️✨ . April is pretty dang funny, I just love her😍
That came out so cute and that border is really pulling it together and the red for binding ….sweet…..love it
