I love it when you show a nice-sized quilt that doesn't use up an entire jelly roll ... so I could make one for myself, and a matching one for a friend, with maybe one having a light-coloured background using the darker strips in a roll, and the other having dark-coloured background using the lighter jelly roll strips, to ensure good contrast so the lovely pattern really "pops". Thank you, Donna!! ~Diana K.
Another great quilt. Patterns look very difficult, but indeed, Daniella Stout has creating patterns that look difficult, but are easy to make, with the necessary dedication and attention of course!
I love how you easily explain how to piece it all together. I have become a cozy quilt addict! Gotta love youtube and those of you willing to jump in front of a camera and show us all how it's done!
Please note that my quilt does not follow the pattern exactly. All the blocks are made correctly, but I turned some of my blocks a different way than what is shown on the pattern. Just goes to show you that even experienced quilters can still have trouble following a pattern! - Donna
Just say you did it on purpose and go with It! Yours turned out much better than the original pattern! I'm sew in love! Also, just placed my first order with your shop the other day. The selection you have is amazing and I will always order from your shop from now on!
Nina from Virginia... Your version is beautiful too. It goes to show how arranging the same blocks makes different patterns. I love everything you do Donna.
I actually had to do two screen shots to compare them side by side to see the difference! (Daniela's original pattern "frames" the mostly-solid blocks with the dark accent strips, giving it the illusion of large circles when you step back from it, whereas Donna your layout "frames" the 9-patch blocks). I think if you're going for the illusion of curves, stick with the original pattern layout, but if, as I, you like the near-solid blocks to appear almost as if they are piercing the 9-patch blocks and have seemingly extra pointy corners, go with Donna's layout. Both are lovely, really!
It’s still beautiful. Thanks for the disclosure too. My pattern came with a color diagram for sewing the rows. I made the king size and numbered the rows. To prevent a mistake I used the diagram to get the row started properly. Your tutorial aids in getting the project organized and less confusing. Thanks Donna
Donna, I think your version of the Bellagio quilt is much more interesting than the pattern version in all respects. I love your placing of the black accent strips, and the colors you chose are a very interesting array. Nothing is predictable, and I like that.
Donna, I am 76 years old and never had anyone to teach me to piece a quilt. Most of the information I found was too complicated. THEN I FOUND YOU! You make everything look possible. THANK YOU! You are a real blessing to me. I would believe I am not the only one who feels that way! May God Bless you!
Donna Lindquist hello Sonja I am a raw beginner and just love your tuts....I'm in the middle of moving but made a corner in the back of my sewing room where I'm trying out some small projects to give to my family as Christmas gifts........I need to hurry because in mid October I'm having a knee replacement and don't quite k now how I will manage my sewing so it is giddeeup Rhoda and sew when you can. Thanks again for your tutorials.
Hi , read your text to Donna ( whom I love ) and thought you might enjoy Jenny Doans tutorials as well. You can find her at: Missouri star quilt tutorials . I love Jenny too and she is a delight to watch.
Your variation on the pattern looks great. The original has a more formal look with the black stripes surrounding the single coloured (with inner background) block, but your variation adds a lot of fun with the black stripe framing the nine patch, which I think really suits the playfulness of the colour scheme. I always look forward to your videos, and can’t wait for the next one!
So happy you're back with another tutorial! I just love them! You made such a beautiful quilt, I've been wanting to make a quilt with bright solid colors and this looks like a fun pattern! Your giveaways are so beautiful too! Thanks so much Donna!!
I'm so happy you made this video - I just bought the pattern last week! Can't wait to get started on it. I really like how you turned the one block 90 degrees - it totally changes the look of the quilt. I'll have to try mine both ways before I sew it together.
Another incredible tutorial! Thank you, Donna!! I just wrote you an email about 2 weeks ago requesting you do this Bellagio pattern and you wrote back saying you would. I'm so glad you did! The colors you chose are fantastic! I have to do this pattern. It's so beautiful! Side Note: I was starting to go through Jordan Fabrics video withdrawals!! LOL. So glad you're back and back at it....oh wait, it's only been a week and a half since your last video 😂😂
I love it. You make it look so easy. I did notice on the pattern the the accent was surrounding the solid colour blocks not the 9 patch. It’s great to see both ways. Both ways look great
@@kathyeubanks5524 Thank you, Kathy! I really need to get down to my favorite quilt shop SOON! It's just under a 3 hour drive from our house, but I try to get there every other month or so. And it's right down the road from a fantastic cheese factory, so I always stop there too.
Donna, I've watched this Bellagio tutorial 4 times now because it is so beautiful and I can't get enough of the colorway you chose! Do you have kits available? I just ordered from y'all the other day too. Also, please tell me about your nails! What kind of design is that on your nails? I've never seen it before and they're always so beautiful! I'm a huge fan. Thanks for all the incredible tutorials!!
Love this quilt. It's beautiful.The colors are so bright & cheerful. I always try to pick a color thread when you pick. Gotten a few right. I think you're tutorials are a great learning tool. Thank you
Love this quilt..having been looking for your next post...made a baby quilt..going to send pics when done!! I wish I could buy everything on your site!!
I really wish I could use a layer cake for this one. I have the perfect one for it but not a jelly roll. That's one thing about Cozy Quilt Designs patterns is they're almost all made for strip sets and I just don't bother buying those.
@@julendia I would love to see yours!! Do you have an Instagram acct.? Mine is @sew.chandra I love sharing quilty pics with other quilty friends on there.
I have learned so much from your videos. This one is no exception---Beautiful. I wish you could do a short video on quilt labels the different methods. And show us some of yours.
Suggestion. Choose several patterns, and do a vote... for which of the 3 patterns that the viewers would like to see you make. That would be fun, you can do an i-card vote on your next video and people can vote. Then you can make that quilt for a future video. OR, you could choose a pattern and offer a vote on 3 colorways and let us vote on a colorway. How fun would that be.
Toujours de très belles réalisations que j'arrive à suivre même si je ne parle pas américain Cela me donne toujours l'envie de faire de belles choses Bravo
(1) SHOUT OUT to Daniels Stout for such a beautiful quilt patterns and the STRIP TUBE RULER!!!! (2) It’s like Christmas 🎄 in July with another WONderful, FABulous, PROfessional TEACHING video from DONNA!!! (3) THANK YOU DONNA I was hoping you would make a video of the Bellagio quilt pattern. You are an EXcellenté teacher 👩🏫!
Gorgeous. Always gorgeous. Donna deserves awards for her contributions to the art and craft of quilting. Such incredible patience and consistent quality. The videos are wonderful too. They’re like a science to watch. 👏🏻 🥇
I love this pattern! Your choice of colours are beautiful and cheerful too 😍😍 thank you Donna 🙂 I am saving all your tutorials so I can watch them again and again.
Yay!!! Another video!!! I look forward to your videos every week, after a long day at work I settle down and relax and watch you make the most beautiful quilt! Your a true master, thanks you, I hope one day I can make quilts as magnificent as yours
Wow! Three-block layout! I've played with two-block variations, but never three. This one is interesting in that you reversed the background squares with the colors in the 9 patch which eliminated the circle illusion in the final layout. Curious!
I noticed that the quilt is incorrect. If you notice the pattern, the 9 patch is not the block that should be surrounded by the black fabric. Did anyone else see this? Still pretty, just not the pattern.
Love your tutorials. So helpful in learning to be a quilt maker. Cozy has a pattern called Ensemble I would love to see you do if you get a chance. Also would live to see a Kaleidoscope quilt with your special touches to make it not only beautiful but 'simplified' technique wise.
Oh wow!!!!! That came out so nice. The pattern looks complicated but really it's not. I'm loving this new hobby of Quilting. Love your videos. I'm watching them over and over again.
Beautiful Donna. What a wonderful job you do explaining every step. I love how you teach like this is the first video anyone has seen because there are some people just finding your channel. Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you Donna for your excellent teaching. I have found that your finger pressing and ironing instructions have made all of my patchwork turn out so much better. Thus when I put on the borders and then on the long arm it is a breeze to square it to be quilted. You do beautiful work!
i just love, love your quilts but wish you would make more, more tutorials. Lol. I can't get enough of your videos. I have learned so much. I am 56 years old & I am disabled & I am finally getting a area big enough in my trailer to finally do some major quilting. I had to get two rooms opened up into one big room in order for me to quilt as a hobby. That is what i love to do but i never had enough room in order to make bigger quilts. I use to be an over the road truck driver with my Husband. I got sick in 2011 with breast cancer & other complications so that caused me to have way too much down time. So, in those years up till now. I taught myself how to quilt with yours & also with Jenny from missouri star quilt videos helped me along the way. I have two girls with 3 grandkids & i made my grandkids a quilt with there names & birthday on them. I actually have a sewing machine that embroiders. I just love to hear your videos in the very beginning when you say, hi I am Donna Jordan from Jordan Fabrics. If somehow i miss you say that when i play your videos, that i would have to rewind the video to the very beginning of the tape just to hear you say that.. Why? I don't know! haha,. It's funny that i have to hear you say that. It would make my day if somehow I could meet you & Jenny! I know that would be impossible because i live in Kentucky & i can't get around like i did before. There was one cozy quilts pattern that you made that I had to buy. So, i did & it is kinda Ironic because to this day, I still have not made that quilt yet. But, I will, soon as i build this space so i can!! I just wanted to say a few words to tell you how much i love your videos & please don't stop!! I will be buying some material from you soon. I know i could get my materials closer to home. But, i just wanted to show you how much i appreciate you taking the time to show people like me how to put a quilt together by purchasing some items from you. *Just saying* = I miss seeing your husband in some of your videos. Have some more tutorials with your husband in them. He sounds like he is a great help to you. haha. Well, I hope you all have a great life & success for years to come! God bless you all.
I read your entry and I can relate, for me it was a "close call" with what could have been very bad, I was diagnosed with melanoma on my face. I have been blessed with a good doctor, he was very compassionate and very aggressive with my treatment. praise be to God the melanoma is gone, but it took three years to get rid of it. Two years of active treatment and one year to recover. In the meantime I decided to learn to quilt, I agree with you, Donna and Matt Jordan are tremendous teachers. I watch them as often as possible. I wouldn't be surprised if you wrote that you watched their videos and said to yourself, " I can do that!" It's the best feeling in the world. Take care!
Once again a great tip filled tutorial 💖 The tip for finger pressing has helped my construction so much! Always start the day extra happy when I see you've posted a new video 🤗.
Yours looks so different from the one pictured on the pattern. I had to look a long time to figure it out. On the pattern I see the illusion of circles/rings in places, but no matter how I look I don’t see that on yours. Then it hit me: it is the direction you placed the blocks with the black strips..you have the black touching the nine-patch blocks rather than the other. Really totally changes the look of the quilt. It would be interesting to see the quilt done up in the same fabrics but the blocks oriented the same as in the pattern picture....
Michelle Lynch I noticed that, too. Thought at first it was the color combination, but you’re right. It does give the quilt another look. Really like the look of tiles on the original pattern. Thanks for pointing this out.
I didn't even know that I had my blocks placed incorrectly until my viewers pointed it out! I like how mine turned out, but it would have looked better if I had followed the pattern correctly!
Jordan Fabrics Oh, I think yours looks just fine, too! Just goes to show, individual interpretation and happy accidents still make for a beautiful quilt. Love both!
Bellagio is a village on Lake Como, Italy (they say 'the Pearl of the lake', meh...) Anyway, we pronounce it bellajo with the english j and not the french one (John, jelly, just) Thanks for the wonderful quilts Donna, you have the magic.
Donna, I love your videos! When you assembled this quilt, you inadvertently created a new design by orienting the blocks with the black strips differently than the Cozy Quilts layout. This could be called Bellagio II !
OMG Donna, I had to re -watch this several times to see the difference in the layout. I finally caught it in the secondary pop. Danielle's shows a circle and yours shows a square. Both are great; the square with the same background is a bit more on the modern look and the circle with slightly darker set in triangle would be really fab in say Kansas Trouble fabrics... Let's make that one this year. lol
Do you ever get tired of hearing how awesome you? You are so awesome with your tutorials and I mean it. You make it so easy to follow. I'm like Diana below, I get so excited when I receive notice of a new tutorial.
As usual, a very 'comforting tutorial', I always feel like we are just friends chatting about a quilt. I couldn't help noticing the change from the pattern, which in itself is a plus option! The black lines go around the solids on the pattern whereas they go around the 9 patch squares in your quilt. So this lovely pattern can go two ways with two very different looking designs!
Donna is there any reason your bellagio quilt come out different than the pattern trying to go figure out mine matched yours but looking back at the episode me following your tutorial and looking back we put the dark stripped around wrong block.
I have a little game I like to play when I watch your videos. It’s called- which color thread will she pick? Love your videos. I’ve made several. Working on the urban cottage right now. I’ve also done Jacobs ladder, the 5 star quilt, and I’m quilting the hanging lanterns one for my aunt.
Donna I didn't notice it at first but the blocks on the packaged image of the quilt shows them in different placements then how you laid yours out for 2 distinctive looks. The solid squared blocks have the black around them and the 9 patch looking one is where you put your solid ones. Talk about double takes. Nicely done!! Love your videos!!
Donna, I think your quilts are stunning. Yet they are practical in that you’d want them in your home, in every room! And a style for every person on your gift list. I made the Cozy Quilts Braidwork Quilt for my granddaughter and sent photos through email. Hope you got them. Happy quilting, everyone!
Your video for this quilt came out today and in the mail I just got the pattern what timing was that! Can’t wait to make. Love Cozy Quilt patterns. Thanks Donna for the video ❤️
I am 73 and have never tried patchwork before I wanted to learn because I have 2 great grand children to sew for now like you I found Jordan fabric's and I am on my third quilt very clear and easy to understand I just love this site .
Great quilt!! I liked this pattern when I first saw it a while ago. It is nice to see you make it. You do such a wonderful job with your videos. Thank you!
You layed out your quilt different to the cover quilt on the pattern and I like your layout the best. Lovely colours too, this is one for my to-do list for sure. TFS 👌. 🐢
At first I was really underwhelmed by the colors you chose, just wasn't sold at all, but once it was finished it was absolutely gorgeous. Donna your super sharp eye for pattern, texture, and color never ceases to amaze me 😊
I can hardly skip a day of watching your tutorials, they are my favorite and I watch a lot of MSQC Jenny Doan & Angela Waters / Midnight Quilt show. I love the Bellagio and plan to stitch it soon for my Daughter in law who is an Executive for MGM at Bellagio in Vegas....so I must! My good friend & I are making a special day road trip (~6 hr rd trip) to Grants Pass, OR from Corvallis, Oregon this Sat. 8/3/19 specifically to visit your shop for the first time. I am soo excited, and we hope to meet you, Matt & family. See ya soon, D.D. & Anita
Hi when I try to enter the givaway I'm told I am already subscribed on the list. What does that mean and what am I meant to do to have a go at winning?
Your finished product looks sooo much different from the pattern, from what I can tell. I love how little differences can change the entire feel of a quilt.
I think she put the blocks together differently than in the pattern. It isn't just the colorway. I had to do a triple take before I could figure it out.

donna I have noticed that every quilt you do, your nail color matches the fabric that you use. Love it.
I love it when you show a nice-sized quilt that doesn't use up an entire jelly roll ... so I could make one for myself, and a matching one for a friend, with maybe one having a light-coloured background using the darker strips in a roll, and the other having dark-coloured background using the lighter jelly roll strips, to ensure good contrast so the lovely pattern really "pops".

You break everything down and make it seem so easy. Love it.
I need to stop watching so much, and start sewing more!
Perfect as always!! I, too, get excited when I see you’ve posted another tutorial. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I read your entry and I can relate, for me it was a "close call" with what could have been very bad, I was diagnosed with melanoma on my face. I have been blessed with a good doctor, he was very compassionate and very aggressive with my treatment. praise be to God the melanoma is gone, but it took three years to get rid of it. Two years of active treatment and one year to recover. In the meantime I decided to learn to quilt, I agree with you, Donna and Matt Jordan are tremendous teachers. I watch them as often as possible. I wouldn't be surprised if you wrote that you watched their videos and said to yourself, " I can do that!" It's the best feeling in the world. Take care!
Once again a great tip filled tutorial 💖 The tip for finger pressing has helped my construction so much! Always start the day extra happy when I see you've posted a new video 🤗.
Cozy Quilt patterns have become one of my favorites. They are easy to follow and give great instructions.
Yours looks so different from the one pictured on the pattern. I had to look a long time to figure it out. On the pattern I see the illusion of circles/rings in places, but no matter how I look I don’t see that on yours. Then it hit me: it is the direction you placed the blocks with the black strips..you have the black touching the nine-patch blocks rather than the other. Really totally changes the look of the quilt. It would be interesting to see the quilt done up in the same fabrics but the blocks oriented the same as in the pattern picture....
Michelle Lynch I noticed that, too. Thought at first it was the color combination, but you’re right. It does give the quilt another look. Really like the look of tiles on the original pattern. Thanks for pointing this out.
I didn't even know that I had my blocks placed incorrectly until my viewers pointed it out! I like how mine turned out, but it would have looked better if I had followed the pattern correctly!
@@jordanfabrics8380 Either way, like everything else you do it is scrumptiously gorgeous!
Jordan Fabrics Oh, I think yours looks just fine, too! Just goes to show, individual interpretation and happy accidents still make for a beautiful quilt. Love both!
Bellagio is a village on Lake Como, Italy (they say 'the Pearl of the lake', meh...)
Anyway, we pronounce it bellajo with the english j and not the french one (John, jelly, just)
Thanks for the wonderful quilts Donna, you have the magic.
So very happyDonna you posted a new video. Beautiful pattern. Always so impressed . Thank you.
Donna, I love your videos! When you assembled this quilt, you inadvertently created a new design by orienting the blocks with the black strips differently than the Cozy Quilts layout. This could be called Bellagio II !
Yvonne J-H I noticed as well! It actually gives a pretty different effect from the quilt pictured on the pattern.
Glad I wasn't the only one that noticed this! I watched the lay out twice just to make sure I wasn't imagining it! Still a beautiful quilt either way!
I hope you show quilting ASMR, it's so satisfying and peaceful to watch
I’m trying to imagine this pattern in shades of sea foam greens, blues, grays and cream. Any thoughts?
Mary Zoss I think it would be beautiful!
Gorgeous!
That would be gorgeous! I'm going to make it using batiks in blues and greens, pinks and purples.
Yes! Some of my fav colors! Great idea!
Love your videos!! I know it's a whole lot of work for you and the team. Keep 'em coming! You're an inspiration to many quilters. ❤️
OMG Donna, I had to re -watch this several times to see the difference in the layout. I finally caught it in the secondary pop. Danielle's shows a circle and yours shows a square. Both are great; the square with the same background is a bit more on the modern look and the circle with slightly darker set in triangle would be really fab in say Kansas Trouble fabrics... Let's make that one this year. lol
Спасибо! Ваш вариант исполнения схемы мне понравился больше. И показывайте процесс стежки на long arm подольше, пожалуйста, это завораживает...
Do you ever get tired of hearing how awesome you? You are so awesome with your tutorials and I mean it. You make it so easy to follow. I'm like Diana below, I get so excited when I receive notice of a new tutorial.
As usual, a very 'comforting tutorial', I always feel like we are just friends chatting about a quilt. I couldn't help noticing the change from the pattern, which in itself is a plus option! The black lines go around the solids on the pattern whereas they go around the 9 patch squares in your quilt. So this lovely pattern can go two ways with two very different looking designs!
Donna is there any reason your bellagio quilt come out different than the pattern trying to go figure out mine matched yours but looking back at the episode me following your tutorial and looking back we put the dark stripped around wrong block.
Fabulous! Thanks so much for your expertise and for sharing. You make it look so easy.
I have a little game I like to play when I watch your videos. It’s called- which color thread will she pick? Love your videos. I’ve made several. Working on the urban cottage right now. I’ve also done Jacobs ladder, the 5 star quilt, and I’m quilting the hanging lanterns one for my aunt.
Donna I didn't notice it at first but the blocks on the packaged image of the quilt shows them in different placements then how you laid yours out for 2 distinctive looks. The solid squared blocks have the black around them and the 9 patch looking one is where you put your solid ones. Talk about double takes. Nicely done!! Love your videos!!
Yay!! You're back!! 🥰
Donna, thanks to you I now have fingernails and much nicer blocks.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Hope you are feeling well and staying safe.
Donna, I think your quilts are stunning. Yet they are practical in that you’d want them in your home, in every room! And a style for every person on your gift list. I made the Cozy Quilts Braidwork Quilt for my granddaughter and sent photos through email. Hope you got them. Happy quilting, everyone!
Такая невероятная женщина!!!Долгих лет жизни😗😗😗👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your video for this quilt came out today and in the mail I just got the pattern what timing was that! Can’t wait to make. Love Cozy Quilt patterns. Thanks Donna for the video ❤️
I am 73 and have never tried patchwork before I wanted to learn because I have 2 great grand children to sew for now like you I found Jordan fabric's and I am on my third quilt very clear and easy to understand I just love this site .
It looks ridiculously hard but you make it look so easy. Got the pattern so I’m going to watch your video and read the pattern to see if I can follow
Hi, newbie here. Why dry iron first then use steam? Thank you!
Great quilt!! I liked this pattern when I first saw it a while ago. It is nice to see you make it. You do such a wonderful job with your videos. Thank you!
Wow Donna, It's like a lolly shop - so many beautiful colours everywhere. That's a stunning result. Thank you
I love your tutorials!! So clear and easy to follow. You make it look so easy and fun. 🌷💖
You layed out your quilt different to the cover quilt on the pattern and I like your layout the best.
Lovely colours too, this is one for my to-do list for sure.
TFS 👌. 🐢
It's beautiful, can you make "Park Plaza" from Cozy Quilt next please? Thank you
At first I was really underwhelmed by the colors you chose, just wasn't sold at all, but once it was finished it was absolutely gorgeous. Donna your super sharp eye for pattern, texture, and color never ceases to amaze me 😊
Amazing how she is so confident w her color choices, right? I'm usually skeptical at first too but they always turn out so beautiful!
@@chandracox6814 I know right? She's awesome.
I can hardly skip a day of watching your tutorials, they are my favorite and I watch a lot of MSQC Jenny Doan & Angela Waters / Midnight Quilt show. I love the Bellagio and plan to stitch it soon for my Daughter in law who is an Executive for MGM at Bellagio in Vegas....so I must! My good friend & I are making a special day road trip (~6 hr rd trip) to Grants Pass, OR from Corvallis, Oregon this Sat. 8/3/19 specifically to visit your shop for the first time. I am soo excited, and we hope to meet you, Matt & family. See ya soon, D.D. & Anita
Another beautiful quilt with easy instructions! Thank You!
Donna, that Belagio Quilt is beautiful and fun looking. Love all the bright colors. And by the way your quilting machine is just plain Awesome.
Hi when I try to enter the givaway I'm told I am already subscribed on the list. What does that mean and what am I meant to do to have a go at winning?
Your finished product looks sooo much different from the pattern, from what I can tell. I love how little differences can change the entire feel of a quilt.
I think she put the blocks together differently than in the pattern. It isn't just the colorway. I had to do a triple take before I could figure it out.
Another very lovely quilt. Of course, I would expect nothing less! Thank you so much for all the inspiration.
