Before you take the band off the jelly roll, run a sticky roller over the pinked edges a few times. REALLY helps with the fuzz mess! Don't forget both sides of the jelly roll!
Not a purple girl, but I love your choice of fabric for this rail fence quilt! Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for giving us permission to make a 5 strip set versus a 4 strip set! Just found your channel and really enjoyed your presentation.
If you are curious as to why your strip set will curve when you sew all in One direction, it's the function of the feed dogs. Every time the feed dogs push the fabric sandwich forward, the bottom fabric gets pushed just a fraction of an inch further, creating a gathering effect. The result on long seams is a curve. If you didn't want to reverse your starting point on every other strip, you could sew all the strip sets together using your walking foot. The walking foot creates an even gather in harmony with the feed dogs.
Your quilt top is very pretty. As a new quilter I think I can manage making one but will have to cut strips from my stash as buying precuts are too pricey for me. I really enjoy your tutorials, keep them coming!
Nice quilt. If you do a good finger press after each strip your seams will not curve. It's an extra step & you would still need to give it a good press with the iron but you don't have to worry about which direction to add the next strip.
Those colours are amazing 😍💜 I only started quilting in July, made a few quilts so far. I decided I wanted to make an easy pattern recently, so did the rail fence in pastel colours but added white sashing between each block. Looking at the picture of the blocks laid out on the bed prior to sewing them all together, I'm thinking it looked better without sashing, so I'll make another in the near future without sashing 😊 💜
All of them lol My 1/4 isn’t great. I fudge a lot. I can’t remember when I last changed my blade. My top and bottom thread doesn’t always match and often I run out of one long before I realise. I don’t starch anymore I just steam. I don’t iron to the dark side, I usually iron open. I don’t do mitered corners on binding. I use bedsheets for backing. And, lastly, when someone says “you should never” or “stop doing that and do this instead” watch but I’ll probably ignore. Haha Ok glad there are quilters out there that are anti “quilt police”. It’s so sad that I still sometimes see them in comments. 😂
All of them lol the only time the quilt police matter is if you're entered into a competition that might make a difference to the outcome in awards. That being said no one buying or being gifted a quilt is going to sit with a magnifying glass criticizing. They will love it! Don't stress, just enjoy!
My first few quilts, nothing got pressed and the points didn't match up at all. I've started pressing seams though. My binding method is 100% made up and is completely different from literally any other binding I've seen. It's easy though and it works!
I rarely pin or clip. I only make quilts for me or family, and my skills are better than when I started, but it's OK to me if the points don't perfectly match. If the block is really wonky I'll do it over, but if the seams are sturdy and I like the pattern results and the quilt will keep someone warm, that's OK to me. I love seeing the champion quilts at the quilt show, but that isn't in my future.
I've made two quilts with Tinyspool now, I love the quality. It has a very nice feel to it, I even turned one into a quilt coat. I'm going to order more soon

I bought a roll of the Tiny Spools jelly rolls and really liked them. I bought them off Amazon and the price was really good. I love your colors.
love the quilt, and love the freedom - I may try this one

I'm pretty good at fudging too, it's inside and a gift, they are not gonna care what's inside.

What rules do you break when piecing a quilt top?
Those colours are amazing 😍💜

What is the name of the “fabric collection” from Tinyspool and Co.?
@debbiebehymer2783 this one is Royal Purple, they have so many gorgeous collections though!
Is the Tiny Spool fabric good quality? I was just looking at it on Amazon and it got good reviews.
