10 years later and this is still inspiring people!!! Thank you!!!
Complete newbie to making quilts and I followed your start and made one for a kid in 32 minutes!
Hi, I'm so glad you enjoyed it and already made one! If you would like, please share your quilt with our community, just send a picture of your quilt here justhands-on.tv/contact-us/ Thank you, Happy sewing!
How interesting..watching it 10 yrs later also…..always luv what Valerie has in store..feel inspired as well..🇨🇦
ABSOLUTELY LOVE this quick and easy quilt top! Perfect for "kiddy" floor quilts!
Totally! Happy sewing!
i LOVE this video. i wish everybody made quilting videos this way. thank you SO much for posting this video.
I was always fearful to make a quilt..... You inspired me to make one with no fear and use my scraps of fabric! Thank you, thank you so much!
I would take that and make it into a roman shade for a small window.
Just beautiful!!💖💖💖💖
Hi! What a great idea! ;)
Turned out great. Now I'm inspired....thanks Valerie
Glad you enjoyed it. You can email a picture of it to us at pictures@justhands-on.tv, to pop it on site, on our popular Show and Tell category.
Thank you for sharing. I love this idea of sewing the strips at 45°
These quilts are great. I can make a crib quilt in about 4 hours, from starting the top, to binding. Great for beginners who just want a quick quilt. Great for "advanced" quilters who just want a scrap buster. No matter how old this video is, it is my go-to for quilt design.
Thank you, Jesse!
I Crochet and Knit, i love to see others creativity. This is ingenious! I absolutely adore it, and to think that it was made by sewing and cutting. Plus you used all your scraps in such a beautiful way!! Love it!
Really that I had not seen strips put together this way and do fast. Thanks
This has to be the coolest thing I have seen today! How awesome is that!
You are delightful. I feel very at home watching you. Thank you for your tutorials and beautiful smile.
Thank you!
Ingenious!!! I love the concept! Applause,Applause! 👏🏾
Wow! So cleverly done! Ingenious!
That is a super idea! I can see using shorter strips to create smaller blocks!
Great idea! Happy sewing!
Love this...making a quilt has always felt intimidating but now seeing this I feel like I can go give it a try... thank you!!
That is great! Even though the cutting of the scraps will take more time of course, this has finally made me think that one day I could actually make a quilt!
What a great way to use up scraps 😊😊
That's a beautiful quilt...and right up my alley! My mother and youngest sister were the quilters in the family...I preferred straight sewing as I didn't have the patience for all the geometric designs. This is an easy and gorgeous project! Thank you!
That's life changing right there!!
Wow all those scarps are beautifull!! love the colors!!
you don't need to spend time making sure the strip is not twisted. Just start stitching the two ends and toward the end, if the strip is twisted, cut on the fold, straighten the ends and finish the stitch line. Saves a little time and frustration!
I don't quilt but have always wanted to. this should be marketed for beginners.
Thank you so much. I am going to try this
Tried this and love it. Jelly rolls make amazing quilts. I have made 11 so far.
Hi, Pamela! It is fun making these, no? We would love to see your projects, please send us some pictures of the results at pictures@justhands-on.tv to share with our community! Happy sewing!
This is exactly perfect. I just organized my stash, I'm a fabricaholic. I wanted to find fast easy modern effective art idea. And this is it!!! I'll cut strips, different widths. And easy to stitch in the ditch machine quilting. I'm so excited.
Do you have a fast easy binding video? 😉😉🤓🤓
Thank you! Give it a go and please share your project with us at pictures@justhands-on.tv to share with our community! For binding videos please visit justhands-on.tv/?s=BINDING+QUILT and choose what suites you best. Happy sewing!
Brilliant!
Wow! That was fun to watch! Will give it a try! thank you!
that is breath takingly beautiful! Purple is my favorite color :D
oh wow ive never seen anything like this.. that looks amazing I would love to try this. wowwww. thank you so much for sharing
Lovely! I am planing to do a scrap quilt with 40 years of scraps! quilt'em or toss'em! Thanks for the ideas!
👍👍
Really enjoyed that demo. I'm still a novice and I love creating my own style.
I’m purchasing my fabric now to make this quilts. You make it look so easy. So at 59 years young I’m going to attempt to make my first quilt ever.
I love how you show us your awesome "seasoning" touch!!!! lol... You go girl... Thank you so much for this truly inspiring video.. 😉😊👍👍
Amazing, I need 40 minutes just to stare at the colorful fabrics!
Hahahaha! You're in very good company MyChilepepper :)
Beginning quilter here, and that Was fun!
What an ingenious idea! Am going to give this a try....and I'm sure this can be done in less than an hour with getting your strips sewn together....OMGoodness this is a project to share with my granddaughters! Thankyou so much!
That was great
YES !YES!! ..new project thanks for the great video !!
lol, 40 minute scrap quilt !!! Is there a word Before a Beginner Sewer??? Well it just took me 45 minutes to sew the 1st row......LOL , But I'm not giving up !!
That's me too
shelly p I'm just finding your comment now...3 years later. Did you make this quilt? Inquiring minds want to know.... :)
I’ve been quilting for about 6 years and I can’t do what these women do!!
Same for me!!!!
shelly p
Wowza wowza! That was fun; will definitely have to try this. If you sew all of them together to get a right start, things seems to take off from there and that is how I will do it too. Thank you for a great video; very interesting and FUN!
Thank you, Diane! Give it a go and have fun! We would love to see your project, so please send us a picture of the result at pictures@justhands-on.tv to share with our community! Happy sewing!
Absolutely loved this! I got a bag of color coordinated scraps I had cut to 4 X4 out of some old sewing stuff I had stored because my kids,mostly my daughter kept moving in and my sewing & craft room in my small 2bdrm. Apt. Never came to fruition! Shelves were put up and stuff got put on them and it quickly became a storage shed in addition to having to rent one for over a hundred bucks a month!I quickly lost my bedroom & king size pillowtop mattress bed and she and her boyfriend have been out for two years and I am still on the couch and boxes are sleeping on my bed!LOL! I even have a fold out loveseat I inherited but no longer have room to open it and when she moved out she took my rollaway bed with her AND The new pack & play I bought for my new &only grandchild!So..where can I sew?I set up a card table which I quickly covered with part of my button collection and have been putting together various projects I would like to do in the future then bagged and boxed them ,but have had them sorted and out for over a month. Now. ( not so sorted anymore because my 20 mo.old gr.son has 3 fav. places he runs to when he first gets here, my button collection to run his fingers through them and try to eat his favorites, then to my couch bed to rub his face on my very soft and fuzzy snowflake blanket, then to his one nic nac free shelf to play with a small vintage truck I bought him, and my 2 vintage VW Bugs that match my first car!) I use to own an alterations business for about 7 years until my seperation, then divorce 3 years later and have tons of supplies and collections. I would love to open a school for poor people trying to get off welfare.Anyway, I think finding your video was some sort of sign, because a few days ago I got those bagged scraps out, shoved the buttons aside to one half,a chair and half of another loveseat and started playing with the scraps from before my divorce in about 1995 when my son was only 4 years old, and he will be 26 in December 3 days after Christmas!
thats so much easer then my way. i have started strips and just let them sit because it took too much time. i`m going to get them out and finish it tomorrow. I LOVE YOU and you video. i subscribed and thank you.
So good to see this demonstration. It feels like home. My mom taught us to sew on a power machine. She worked as a factory seamstress, sewing piece work. Things were often hooked together with little threads and at some point she'd hand it to us to clip them apart and start the next phaze of the piece, while she went to start dinner. She always warned against perfection. She always said, just give it a try. She could alter a pattern and make up her own design and finish it all in one afternoon. She also didn't stop to press things much. It was all done before it was ironed, usually. What I know now is to keep it simple and fun and that I can know the 'rules' but I can do it my way too. She could make a tailored suit too. I was in awe of her knowledge. She never got frustrated over 'mistakes.' She just made lemonade out of lemons and it worked.
I find a lot of quilting tedious so I need to be reminded that it can be simple and that there are efficient ways to put things together like you showed. I like that you weren't even sure how it might come out. Thanks for the video.
small footprint That's awesome you have those memories with your Mom....it made me smile...cuz you see, I'm a beginner, I mean trying to start my very first quilt kinda beginner!! LOL!! I used the word "trying" cuz I believe I've fallen into the "trying to be perfect" category, and it has quickly become no-fun and nerve racking!! So I'm thrilled I looked and looked for beginner videos that lead me to this one....and then to hear your story, I almost cried and took a big breath and giggled about how precious that memory is for you. My grandmother was a seamstress and sewed all of mine, and the rest of the dance school's costumes!! Yep! All of em!! I absolutely loved being measured for our recitals! I always watched with such admiration and I'd organize her whole sewing room too! It was OUR time together. She's gone now, and I know she'd be proud of me "just trying" and to enjoy it. SO! Long way around to finally get here, which is to HAVE SOME FUN!! Loved the video! And thanks for your story. 💕🙋😂
One stitch at a (fun) time. Lynn
small footprint, wow...I really enjoyed your comment...especially your share of your very cool and wise mom; I am going to keep her sensible wisdom in mind...specifically when I am stressing out, once again, while making a quilt. Thank you so much!!!
I love your comment. This reminded me so much of my mum sewing at home, especially the way she talks under her breath, and kind of to herself, just before she starts the machine! So many happy memories ☺️
OH I have similar memories with my mom, she also could sew and did a lot of dresses for me and my sisters :)
I AM thankful for your ever so important loving lesson from your mom about it not having to be perfect - that urge for perfection, have stalled so many of my projects, to a total halt! - recently I have been reminded of what you also mentions above - JUST HAVE FUN! with what you are creating - The feeling of JOY inside when you are creating is so much more important than perfection :)
Thank you for your heartwarming story - Good memories :)
Mam so easy and brilliant work. Thank you so much 🙏
soooooooo I made one and am on my 2nd. My only input is, while the actual sewing of the top took an hour (i have 9 kids and am 7 months pregnant with 10th) the preparing took hours. I don't have the funds to buy jelly rolls, so i made my own strips. That took a lot of time. BUT WORTH IT. i plan on making more! Thanks so much
I agree, it was so worth it. Were you super excited to see the result? I am in love with this technique. 👏🏾 to us for completing it.
Shane Winters Busy mom of seven and grandmother of two here. I feel your time crunch. This is an awesome way to finish a fast quilt. If you want to make it faster, consider making your own jelly roll out of the strips and making a quilt as you go quilt one row at a time from the top. It's SO much faster!
Shane Winters. If I could hit laugh emoji... 9 kids!! I'd be happy just to grab a shower once a day!! Good luck.
Once you get used to cutting strips you'll be stacking yardage and cutting them 2, 4, 6 at a time. The trick is in prepping the yardage by pressing out big wrinkles and folding it with the selvages together with a straight grain. Once you get that sorted out you'll be cutting really quickly. Jordan Fabrics channel has a good tutorial on cutting (lots of other channels too) and they have a great trick for long rulers. Use a 5# hand weight on the far end of the ruler to hold it down for you. No slippage.
Congratulations on baby #10! I had 13.
Could you tell me how long you made the initial strip? I guess I could do the math and divide by 16 or 32 or whatever. I am just lazy.
The most beautiful fabric scraps. I wish my svraps were as nice.
What a great way to use up scraps! I have numerous strips. What a surprise it will be when it's done! Doubt it will only take me 40 minutes; But it's unique and fun and I will try it! THANK YOU!
beautiful colour!👍🙏
What impresses me so much is how much scrap fabric is left after making a quilt - enough to at least make a good start on another one! As expensive as quilting material is, it’s wonderful to be able to make the most of every bit.
When I laid these scraps out all those years ago they had a distinct pattern but I couldn' t figure it out yesterday or today, so I might try something like what you did with a long strip in between of a solid color to make it larger.I remember it being the size of my dining table and we had a big one, almost the size of my cardboard cutting mat.I am a crazy quilt fan but have never finished anything big.I had a bit of ADD that is why I am setting up different projects, so I can switch when I get bored! Thanks for your cool and FAST project!Fast is what hooked me When I was a teen sewer I mostly picked patterns I could finish in a day!I hated mistakes and having to rip anything out and fix it! Who would have figured I would end up owning the second best alterations shop in town?!? I am going to see if I can sneak in another oner of your videos before my little Missy gets here to do her laundry, why it's only 1:44 in the morning !!!
READ OTHER ONE FIRST!! MY EPILEPSY MAKES ME SHAKE AND HIT BUTTONS BEFORE I AM DONE WITH MY COMMENT! SORRY !!
Oh Valery, WHAT a clever and sensible, simple and sweet idea of putting a bunch of scraps together. I LOVE how you got the short ones to connect - gotta watch that part again to get it right. Liked the music too, and ENjoyed the video. Not too tedious, not too brief - THANKS for sharing. Ushta-te!!
What an easy quilt! Thank you for sharing! Yours is beautiful!
I’ve never quilted before, after watching this tutorial I am inspired to try and make my nephew a denim quilt for a house warming gift. That you so much.
And the denim is heavy enough to double as a weighted blanket sometimes!
How did it go?
I might try this, too... I like to use old jeans for fabric, lol, so I can recycle them!
That was too much fun, and I loved it!!!
I love this and the pattern turned out beautiful I have lots of scraps I can do this with and make some quilts thank you for sharing
Beautiful! Definitely going to give this a try. Thank you for sharing!
interesting, I never did quilting, and this one I will surely try. But how do you quilt such a piece like this... I mean finishing it, with the backing and all. Thank you
What a brilliant idea and it turned out beautifully, So pretty. I love it.
I second CeeTee's comment. I can also see borrowing and cutting off 21/2 in to 5 inch strips to use with various triangular or 45/60 degree rulers for another complex quilt look. I can see two separate quilts out of this pieced strip quilt top that was just made. I have lots of left over binding strips stashed that I would just join and use as the binding on smaller quilts. Now I can just make the longest jelly roll there ever was and go for the strip pieced top. Thanks for the idea.
splendid idea
Your quilt top looks amazing. Can't wait to try it. Hubby will be getting his own food today !!!!
That's beautiful!
That was so much fun to watch ... and you have given this total beginner courage to tackle this. Thank you! :)
This is such a awesome video ! I am going to have to give it a try
Thanks for sharing this. I've done this technique years ago and it is really fun. You have inspired me to do it again! Thanks for you inspiration.
Niler Taylor h
diagonal joining makes it very interesting, I liked it, thank you
i love it :)
Fantastic Valerie thank you so much, such inspiration.
I did enjoy it and now I have the courage to make my own ! Thanks for sharing .
Beautiful craft 👌👌👌👌
So no ironing? No pining? And just cut when you get to the new 'end?'
Natalie A pinning and ironing isn't a necessity, regardless of what some people say. Especially with easier things like this
Ummm...didn't you watch her do just that?
@@jasonadventist5226 I'm sure after the blanket front was done at the end of the video, she would have ironed all the seams flat, added padding and a backing fabric and sewn a border round the quilt, therefore the sewing of the border stops the ends of the blanket fraying and the sewing coming undone. :)
@@wintermcqueen6933 exactly!! So true!! Pinning is pointless and so is pressing sometimes. I usually finger press and move on until the end, unless pressing is absolutely necessary. I never pin. There's no need.
She did pin to make the angels but its not nessesary.
This turned out so pretty! What a neat idea!
It's beautiful and it's fun and I love your personality. Thanks for sharing
Loved it thankyou
This is fun! Less intimidated about sewing and going to use the word cavalier! Love it!😃
So beautiful! Thanks for your great tips. 💐
The key is, she had her first looong strip sewn end to end prior to sewing strips together side by side. About 30 end to end is what she said, if I'm not mistaken. Don't expect to do this as fast, as a beginner. It's not really a race. :-)
Couldn't be bothered😔😔😔
So pretty!
Thanks for sharing this tutorial. I am trying it now. By the way, it won't matter if you do twist it when you sew the strips together as you can cut the 'loop' when you reach the end. :)
i did the jelly roll race quilt as my first ever quilt it's still unfinished, although I have taken it out of the UFO bag, I used 42 strips and it was too long and narrow. I ended up cutting it into uneven widths, sashed and bordered to finish off. I ended up with a quilt about 70 ins square I do love it. It will be gorgeous when it is backed and quilted. With 30 strips the finished rectangle is a much better shape and if you can use all different strips that helps too. It's a fun project and lots of variations can be found on line. Love the choice of colour too. I'm off to stash bust. Have fun with this everyone
Hi, Frances! We would love to see your project, please send us a picture of the result at pictures@justhands-on.tv to share with our community! Happy sewing!
Omg....that is really long....however just a thought....what if you took and stuck a thumb tack at the end you are so fespetatly looking just that first one . going to try this however I will use a thumb tack.
Thanks! What a good way to use up scraps fabric
Really smart idea for scraps, but also for any purchased strips. Thanks for the lovely video.
Great video... real gorgeous colors many thanks for sharing
I loved video. Also it doesn't have to be "strips". I just threw my scraps together, and what didn't meet I cut. When done I sewed all left again. Cut into squares that did meet. Tada big pillow! I loved her idea of just sew together. For me no pins, no measure. Just sew it, don't fit? Find a different scrap that close, then sew. :)
Thank you! That's great, we'd love to see how the pillow looks! If you would like to share it with us, please send a picture at pictures@justhands-on.tv
You know, I am a Dad to three young girls, learning to sew to provide for them. I am going to use your encouragement to do just that. I have a 60 year old machine with no guides or such, and am just going to sew what I can. Thanks for being encouraging, you never know who will need it or use it for good :) Blessings to you.
Beautiful! So artistic!
Beautiful!!! it's soooooo simple n easy.. I'm so gonna do it.. But planning to make that long scrap roll out of all my other diy fabrics... we can keep adding on to our roll... and stitch later on!!!! 😎😎😎😎😃
Great idea!
i just got a sewing machine with no idea how to sew, my kids and i watched this video and they want me to try make one like this,....................ill try
I think you could do it! That is really the best way to learn, sewing straight lines. Makes some curtains. Make a pillow. Just make! That’s how you will be a pro! Good luck! Enjoy!
Great job! Amazing!!!! Regards from Brasil!
Thank you very much!
I could never decide on a jelly roll to buy especially when I already have a sewing room full of fabric...this is fantastic. Great for a baby gift or a last minute christmas gift that uses up our scraps. I was curious the finished size at the end of the video (I have a tall husband and it gets pretty cold here) and how wide was the border you added in the picture on your website? Thanks for the video!
The really great part about this top is that you can pretty much make it any size you need!!
That's awesome, can't wait to try it, thankyou for sharing
fabulous way to use up scraps, love your way of doubling so you don't end up with a paralellagram!
Love the ideal of using scraps and not a jelly roll.
how inspiring (: tyvm for ur time and knowledge...blessings my friend
There's no way I'd sew all that together without pressing my seams. I just couldn't do it. Cudos to you!
I would think the longer the strip, the bigger the quit top would be? Love how the colors blend in. Ty for sharing
Hermosa creación! Prolijo y muy bien combinado los colores. Gracias por compartir tus técnicas 👍!
Only thought I regarding the making of the quilt be the finishing process. Is there a video that shows how this done after creating the quilt?
Lovely. And great demystifying.
Oh my goodness, this is so amazing! I can't wait to try it! Thank you so much for this video!💕
I hope you tried it. The result is so amazing.
This is pretty cool. I don't sew quilts but would love to do this. Seems really easy. Not sure what to do with it after that though... ha ha ha...
This is FREAKING AWESOME, it looks like so much fun!
Absolutely stunning! Thank You so much. I am just getting into tube stitching +
want to stop with stripes, then stitch to batting and turn the lap-top/baby quilt.
