    I like the “mistake” better than how the pattern was written, of course, I like all of your quilts.

      Yea it looks like presents on the edge of the quilt center

      Yes, I like it better too! It look like the ends of ribbons.

      Another vote for the “mistake.” The ribbon ends go better with the star points. The blunt end stops the flow.

  • @addictedstamper52
    @addictedstamper52 3 роки тому +127

    I truly like the way your “mistake” turned out than the original pattern. Just seems to look so much better at the edges with all those points facing out.

  • @kathyeubanks5524
    @kathyeubanks5524 3 роки тому +73

    I don’t see the ‘mistake’; I see a cohesive series of points around the perimeter of the quilt. It’s much more pleasing to the eye. Thanks again, Donna, for another brilliant interpretation of a Cozy Quilt Designs pattern! ❤️

    I so appreciate how Donna handles her “mistake” in this quilt. Anyone who has ever made a quilt and then noticed something “not quite right” will appreciate her support for all things quilting. These tutorials are so clear, so well done - thank you Donna and Jordan Fabrics!

  • @beckypetersen2680
    @beckypetersen2680 3 роки тому +8

    Fun quilt! I noticed the mistake while you were laying it out and went back to the beginning to see how it was supposed to look. Then I fast forwarded to see if you would notice before you finished. LOL. It is still a very pretty quilt - I like the freshness of the white background. The give away quilt is gorgeous. Very classy. However, I need another quilt in my home like I need a hole in my head! Thanks for the tutorial. You always do such a good job!

  • @gailnash298
    @gailnash298 3 роки тому +20

    Actually, I would make this quilt with "your mistake" instead of the pattern. The points on the outside match your star points. A much better finish than the "correct" way. Beautiful quilt, and beautiful fabric selection. I will order this pattern. I have so many jelly rolls to choose from! Thanks for another great tutorial👍!

  • @Caryndre1
    @Caryndre1 3 роки тому +1

    When I wrap a package, I often put ribbon around it and then a bow with two tails. I do the tails just like that piece that you put the opposite way - in the orientation just as you did it. I thought that was what you were doing to finish the edge without starting a partial star, and that made perfect sense to me. Love it both ways!

    I love Christmas quilts, especially those with stars. This one's going into my queue! I really like your strategy of making the blocks with grey, black, and green stars, with all red sashing stars; it makes the layout flow beautifully. Thank you, Donna, for making this approachable for newer quilters.

    @Happybidr 3 роки тому +5

    Boy, I really like the way you did it, because I think the “diamonds” overwhelmed the rest of the design too much. Your version blended in well with the overall design and even looked like the ends of a ribbon, which matched the Christmas theme beautifully. I am really excited that I can use up some of my existing jelly rolls!

  • @deborahwerner2525
    @deborahwerner2525 3 роки тому

    Donna, I'm very glad you made you "mistake", because on the lap quilt it looks like the points of ribbons at the edges and all the star legs are facing that way as well. On the wall hanging, with the darker fabrics in the background, I think the pattern layout works better. Beautiful quilter and quilts, as always!

    I love the wall-hanging size and soft colors. I've been looking for a lightweight tapestry to hide my ugly TV over the fireplace until I can find someone to help me take it down. I haven't watched TV in four years, but moving the monster will take the proverbial two men and a boy. With one more row and borders, the wall-hanging would work wonders to disguise the black void until it goes to the local Goodwill. If I can get it there, LOL.

      I agree about buying printed patterns from the USA: much as I love the look of the "real thing", the download version these days, if you're shipping them to Europe (I live in France), is the only way re the expense... Crazy....
