Sorry to hear the music was distracting for you, Audrey. I usually try to keep it low enough so that one can concentrate on the directions. I'll keep that in mind in my next video.
A year late watching but music is too loud almost covers up your voice. Will check out others to see if improvement in sound. Appreciate your talent and time making these videos
Thank you for your tutorial on "Violet" and what a cute name you chose, too! I also really loved the video of the trees and water, and even the rain! Likewise I just retired and am about finished with the business end of tgat and am on my way to get in some sewing time. Congrats on your retirement too and happy sewing and crafting! 🎉
Thank you, Lori! I'm glad you also enjoyed the scenes from my area of British Columbia. Congrats on your retirement! One of the greatest things about slowing down on work is being able to really savour the moments for other activities, especially sewing and quilting! Best wishes on your next project.
I'm glad to know that this video was helpful to you! For the additional sashing and edges I purchased about 2 metres (yards) of purple fabric. Have fun with your project! I wonder what colors you are using?
Can you please explain because I'm a little bit lost? You said you sewed the 4 strips together. Then each strap you cut 8 and a 1/2 blocks. But you never said. How many blocks you got from each strip? And if you do the math, you can only get four with one 8 inch block left over And you did say about twenty 8 1/2 inch blocks But when you look at the video, it looks like you got. 24 blocks 4 blocks 1 way in 6 other way. I am just a little confused about that I would very much like to make this, but not until you can answer my question. Cause I am a little confused about it. And what is this lap blanket
Hi there. When I sewed together the strips, I created 5 sets of them. I was able to cut 5 x 8.5" blocks from each strip, as my strips were about 44" long. There was only a tiny skiff leftover from each set. I hope that helps!
I am working on my first big (twin size) quilt for my daughters birthday. She loves purple so this was great inspiration. Do you have any tips for how to make a twin size quilt on a very tight budget?
Hi, Sarah. Thanks for watching my video! If your budget is tight, then your best bet would be to find a purple-tinted jelly roll on sale at a local fabric store. I always back my quilts in flannel, which is a very inexpensive fabric. For the joining solid color (edging, etc.), you should be able to find a nice solid color on sale as well. Quilt batting comes in different weights and qualities. I find that they often come on sale at about 50% off at different times, so make sure you wait for a deal before purchasing your batting. Good luck with your quilt! I'd love to see a picture when you're done!
Hi there! Thanks for your comment! Although I haven't uploaded much lately, I'm currently working on a quilt similar to the violet one - with precut strips - and will probably be posting it in about a week or so. Stay tuned, and thanks for your interest!
I think you have a lot of interesting things to tell us, but if you listen back to your video yourself, I think you will realise that your accompanying music while you’re speaking is not at all helpful, and in places it is actually quite jarring. Maybe, Just to reduce the volume quite a bit may help, but generally speaking, it’s not really at all necessary while addressing us in person! Your quilt looks gorgeous though. Susan x
Hi there! Thanks for your request. I looked this up online and found the following link that could be helpful to you: teresadownunder.com/2016/12/18/video-tutorial-tumbling-blocks-with-no-y-seams/ Good luck! I'd love to try this myself, as it lets one create this amazing design very simply.
Sorry - occasionally some people find the background music a little distracting, but I try to keep it nice and soft so my directions are easy to follow. I'll be sure to keep in nice and low in my next video.
Hi there. Thanks for your question. I believe it would take about 4 x 40-strip jelly rolls to make a king size quilt. You may need some additional fabric for sashing as well. Good luck to you as you tackle more quilting projects. It's a wonderful hobby!
Thank you so much for your response! I appreciate it very much I’m trying to learn everything that is needed material wise to make a quilt. Do you have a video explaining everything you need like backing, batting, etc.
Can you do more videos on easy small lap quilts for donation to elder care facilities? I want to start a group to make wheel chair lap quilts to donate. Thanks. LOVED your video!
Would you be so kind as to tell us what the finished sized of your quilt was that included the purple border and binding? Thanks. P.S. Happy retirement!
Hi there! That is a good question to ask! The quilt is about 42 inches wide and about 52 inches long once it's completed. And thanks for the positive retirement wishes!
Sorry I am late, but congrats on your retirement! My goodness! You barely look 30 years old! I know you were a great teacher! I hope you will continue on your quilting journey! Your ideas are great and your Violet quilt is really so pretty! Very inspiring tutorial!
I'm so glad you enjoyed watching this project unfold! Jelly rolls really are fun to work with, as so much of the color matching and cutting is already done for you. Good luck with your quilt!
This is so beautiful!! I just got my first jelly roll to make my new Granddaughter a baby quilt. I'm so excited. The music is pretty but it did make it a lil hard to hear you, Hun. ❤
It think sashing can make all the difference to bring out the colours within a project! If you haven't done so already, I encourage you to try a jelly roll quilt. They don't take too long given that most of the fabric is already cut.
Iove this design i definately want to make this design. Jelly rolls are so much fun. I was wondering though if instead of cutting the extra backing, just cut the extra batting and use the backing folded over as binding. Ive done that tech6on several other quilts and it worked great.
I love your idea of folding over the extra backing as a binding! I've never done this myself before, but I'd like to try it and will definitely keep this in mind for my next quilt! It makes sense to keep things as simple as possible.
Thank you for sharing. I am 73 and new to quilting. I think this is the pattern I will use on my next Jelly Roll. Congratulations on your retirement. Two of our daughters are teachers. God bless.
Dee - it's wonderful to hear that you've started quilting at age 73! That can be an inspiration to others. I'm delighted you've decided to try this pattern with your next jelly roll. You'll find it quite easy and fun to do. Good luck to you!
I'm really glad you enjoyed it, Debbie! There's something so fun about working with pre-cut strips: a great way to be able to create a quilt rather quickly.
The music was a little distracting

@@craftingwithconfidence8996agree, music is bothersome 1:44
I don't understand why everyone feels music is needed or wanted for a tutorial. I didn't even make it halfway through the video.
Good grief why the loud music. Destroys your tutorial. There are people who are hard of hearing and the music is too loud.
Too hard to hear you music should be turned off ty
Thanks for letting me know, Irene. I'll make sure the music in upcoming videos is very soft.
Very nice. Please lower or remove the background music because it's hard to hear your voice. Ty
Thanks for your feedback, Sharon! I'll be sure to keep my music really low in future videos.
I had a hard time hearing you also.
The music is distracting the hear. Please omit it
Sorry about that! I sure will tone the music down in future videos.

Thank you wasn’t sure what I was going to do with just 20 strips of jelly roll then I came across your video. Thank you so much.❤
I'm glad to know that this video was helpful to you! For the additional sashing and edges I purchased about 2 metres (yards) of purple fabric. Have fun with your project! I wonder what colors you are using?
No music please, distracting

I'd like to see her slow down and explain this more completely for total beginners.
It is not metered. It is mitered. Can you pronounce that correctly???😢
Thanks for the tip, Suzanna! I certainly will correct that the next time I'm saying the word!
It is mitered, which is a term borrowed from the construction industry. A miter box helps a carpenter cut angled edges on a piece of wood.
Music to loud. I really don't need the music.
Thanks for your feedback on the music. I'll make sure to keep it down on future videos!
New subscriber here..thank you..great tutorial ❤
Thank you, Heidi! Welcome to my channel! May you find some projects here that you'd be excited to create.
Music too loud! Very distracting. No need for music. Great tutorials. Thank you’
Sorry about the louder than needed music. Numerous viewers have mentioned that, and I'll be sure to keep that in mind in future videos.
How do I know how much solid color (The Purple in this video) fabric to buy? Please and thank you.
You'll need about 2 yards (or metres) of the solid purple fabric. Good luck!
I am working on my first big (twin size) quilt for my daughters birthday. She loves purple so this was great inspiration. Do you have any tips for how to make a twin size quilt on a very tight budget?

Congratulations on your retirement! How many 40 piece jelly rolls would it take to make a queen size quilt?
Thank you so much! I think you'd need about 3 x 40-strip jelly rolls to make a queen size quilt. Good luck!
JUST FOUND YOUR CHANNEL. HAVE YOU ABANDONED IT? WOULD LOVE MORE QUILTING VIDEOS.
Hi there! Thanks for your comment! Although I haven't uploaded much lately, I'm currently working on a quilt similar to the violet one - with precut strips - and will probably be posting it in about a week or so. Stay tuned, and thanks for your interest!

Thanks for your feedback, Susan. Other people have mentioned the music as well, so I'll certainly be mindful of this in future videos!
I enjoyed your tutorial, but the music was a little too loud. Made it a little difficult to hear you.
Thanks for your feedback about the sound. I've realized I need to tone it down in future videos!
I would love to see a tumbler block quilt without y seams. Is it possible?

Why the back ground noise
Sorry - occasionally some people find the background music a little distracting, but I try to keep it nice and soft so my directions are easy to follow. I'll be sure to keep in nice and low in my next video.
Hello I’m new to quilting and I want to try this would you by chance know how many jelly rolls it would take to make a king size quilt?
Hi there. Thanks for your question. I believe it would take about 4 x 40-strip jelly rolls to make a king size quilt. You may need some additional fabric for sashing as well. Good luck to you as you tackle more quilting projects. It's a wonderful hobby!

I can't hear you over the music. You don't need it.
Thanks for the feedback! I'll be sure to keep it quieter in future videos.
How much material is needed for the purple sashing and purple boarders??
You'll need about 2 yards (or meters) of the front purple to makes strips and sashing; for the backing you need about 3 yards (or meters). :)
@@craftingwithconfidence8996 is that 2 yards for sashing plus border??
I would like to see a square in a square quilt pattern
You may enjoy this video that I created last year: ruclips.net/video/of61awU6qZw/видео.html
Love your video! I can hardly wait to star a quilt of my own!
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy making your quilt with these strips. There are so many possibilities!
Can you do more videos on easy small lap quilts for donation to elder care facilities? I want to start a group to make wheel chair lap quilts to donate. Thanks. LOVED your video!
Thanks for this idea! It's a really good suggestion!

The colors caught my eye and I really enjoyed your video. I'm definately going to try to make this quilt!
I'm so glad you were inspired by this video! I hope you have fun creating your jelly roll quilt!
Please do not use music. It is very distracting, too loud, and not necessary.
Thanks for your feedback. I understand that some people do find this distracting, and I want to be mindful of that in my next videos.
Sorry I am late, but congrats on your retirement! My goodness! You barely look 30 years old! I know you were a great teacher! I hope you will continue on your quilting journey! Your ideas are great and your Violet quilt is really so pretty! Very inspiring tutorial!
Thank you so much, Sherry! I'm glad you enjoyed my video. I hope to make more jelly roll quilts in the future, as they are fun and easy to create.
Been 5 yrs and still worki g on this one
I hope my video may have inspired you to complete your project!
well done. Love your side notes
Thank you so much, Dorothy! I'm glad you enjoyed this video!
Love this quilt. I’ve never used a jelly roll but now I’m ready to try. Great video! Judy
I'm so glad you enjoyed watching this project unfold! Jelly rolls really are fun to work with, as so much of the color matching and cutting is already done for you. Good luck with your quilt!

Thanks for your comment, Teresa! Good luck with your quilt for your granddaughter. I know she'll love it!
@craftingwithconfidence8996 Awww thank you so much. I just found your channel and already subscribed. 😃
Very nice. I like the sashing you used. It certainly brought out the colors within the jelly roll fabric. Thank you for this great idea.

I want to make a small quilt for my new nephew, and this is so cute. I want to make it in blues
I think this would look just great in blues, Sheena!
Any place to get step by step directions cutting measurements?
Sorry - I don't have specific directions, but I'll endeavor to post those in future videos.
Love your video, but the music is annoying.
Thanks for your feedback about the music. I obviously made it too loud in this video so will be sure to adjust that in future videos. All the best.
Thanks for the tutorial and happy retirement!!
Thank you so much!
This is the first of your videos that I have seen. I have subscribed so hopefully I will see more.
What were the final dimensions?
Thank you so much for subscribing to my channel! I really appreciate it. The final dimensions of the Violet quilt were about 42 inches by 54 inches.
Thank you for sharing. I am 73 and new to quilting. I think this is the pattern I will use on my next Jelly Roll. Congratulations on your retirement. Two of our daughters are teachers. God bless.
Dee - it's wonderful to hear that you've started quilting at age 73! That can be an inspiration to others. I'm delighted you've decided to try this pattern with your next jelly roll. You'll find it quite easy and fun to do. Good luck to you!
Welcome to the quilting world !!
🎉 Congratulations on your retirement!
Thank you so much!
What did the finished size work out to?
Hi there. The finished quilt turned out to be about 42 inches wide by 62 inches long.
lovely quilt colors are beautifully matched
Thank you, Lynette! I appreciate your feedback.
That is so pretty! I love the colors.
Thank you so much!
👋🙂🇦🇺❤thanks for sharing with us ….
Could you please tell me how much solid fabric I will need to complete this? Thank you for your time.
I suggest about 2 yards (or metres) of the solid fabric.
Music is too loud!
Sorry Brenda! I've had that feedback about this video from a few other people. I'll be really careful with sound in my future videos. Still learning!
Thank you for this tutorial! You made it so easy!
I'm really glad you enjoyed it, Debbie! There's something so fun about working with pre-cut strips: a great way to be able to create a quilt rather quickly.
