Mrs. Donna, you are a Incredible Quilt Teacher, love the comment that described you, “ Quilt Whisperer “ !!! Am about a sew a Dresden plate Quilt from watching your UA-cam videos, love your Sewing Techniques, many of the Ladies that Show how to sew Quilt are Very Talented. They give me Hope and Inspiration… Thank Ya’ll…
Thank you Donna, I started quilting a couple of years ago, learning from You Tube. You always make everything so simple, your instructions are very detailed & so clear you are my guru, I really can't thank you enough for all the time you've taken with these videos. :)
WoW! I Gotta try that Method of making Borders with the Masking Tape, i am a New Quilter and This Method will make it so much Easier for me.....TY, Sheila👍
I thought this quilt would be too hard for me, but I think I can do it! The short-cut to making the dresden petals is exactly the kind of stuff I love to see! Thanks and beautiful colors!!
You have amazing talent in picking the prints and color for a quilt ❤️. I do have to say that the Dresden Plate is one of my favorite patterns and the colors you picked was prefect. This quilt is absolutely gorgeous I love it so much 😍 your amazing .
For years I've had Quilting Shoppe's and have taught children and adults how to sew. Quilting classes were my love, taught myself from books from the library, (before computers). Joined a quilting guild and my thrist for knowledge grew! My health has declined, cancer and COPD does that. Your video's being back so much knowledge I thought I would never get back. Thank you for doing that for me!
The first method you showed for the dresden points was so labor intense I nearly turned off the video, then you came in with your simpler way and I'm just in love with it!
Donna, I’ve said it before and will say it again. You’re a fabulous teacher! And a GENIUS at coming up with techniques that help to make what looks difficult so simple and approachable! I love your videos and on mornings where you’ve posted a new one, I feel like I’ve hit the jackpot for the day! Thank you❣️
Здраствуйте,ДЖОЙС!ваша зделка,очень панравилась мне,она очень красива зорошо обьеснили так приятно,а вы сами ешё лучше смотритесь.Я из КАЗАХСТАНЦА,хачу с вами обшаться мне зовут'nurzia
Ms Rose I’m with you. Never have been a fan of Dresden, however I bought this pattern this summer. As always Donna has made it look easy for us and it is a stunning quilt. Beautiful quilt. Thank you Donna, you are amazing.
Donna Jordan you have a great eye for combining colors. Cozy Strip Club has Club has great patterns. You two are awesome together 👌 . I can't believe someone would give you a thumbs down, but oh well. There thousands that LOVE YOU❤!!!
Okay, this is gorgeous. What a fabric choice - one I might not have made before but would not dismiss after seeing the richness of the colors together in this quilt. Thank you, Donna, for another accessible and well-explained version of the Dresden pattern. Maybe someday I'll try a Dresden. Love the split blades too.
I'm loving this fabric/pattern! One tip for the centers if you want an easy turned edge - I use 1 sided fusible light to midweight interfacing - mark your circle on the wrong side of your fabric, and with the fusible side towards the right side of the fabric sew on your line. Then cut a slit in the fusible and turn your circle right side out - clipping or pinking the edges first. Run a bone folder around the edge and finger press. Now your fusible in on the outside, fuse to your backing and your edges are turned under! Sew around as you did. Thank you for the great tip on sewing both edges of the wedge at once - that will go into my bag of tricks!
This sounds very interesting but I'm a beginner and not sure what you are saying.. I think I understand the concept but will have to play around first. Thanks for the idea!
I just love watching you sew. Making my very first quilt at 62 yrs. Its very simple but I love doing it. I so want to learn all I can. Love retirement. I'd love to try a precut project when I practice a little more. I cut all my first with cloth I bought years ago. Simple squares, but fun!
Laurie, I started quilting too when I was 62. I just turned 68 and have made so many quilts using Donna’s instructions. I’m currently working on her bargello table runner. I have referred to her video countless times. She is in my opinion the best teacher out there on UA-cam! We are learning from the best!
I have so many WIP's going right now - adding this one for sure. Ordering the pattern today. Plus having to find time to piece is getting to be slim to none while having to baby sit our great grand-daughter. Your innovative process for making the points of the Dresden was inspiring to say the least. I never finished one I started years ago. Thank you for all you, Matt, and your company do - I look for your e-mail first everyday when I get up.
I’m so pleased I came across your videos, I’m a beginner to quilting and some patterns I never thought I’d ever sew as they looked so complicated, but you make everything look so achievable💕
I was so happy to see this tutorial. I took a class for this exact pattern several years ago at a local quilt shop, that has since closed, and I never finished the quilt. I have wanted to pick it up and finish it many times but just couldn't recall all the steps well enough. Thank you so much, Donna for this easy to follow tutorial. I am now ready to finish this quilt -- which is a beautiful red and white Christmas fabric. Your tutorials are always the best!
I am so excited. I have watched your video a dozen times and will probably watch it a dozen more before my First quilt retreat in April. It is (was) a beginners quilt group we stated over a year ago. Our instructor has done a great job advancing our skills. We will all be doing this Dresden Bloom! I have the pattern! Now to pick the right fabric! Thank you for the wonderful video!
Good Morning Donna from England U.K. What a lovely quilt and such great colours Thank you for sharing it with us and hope you and your family are well.
Thank you Donna for all of your tutorials! I am always amazed at how easy you make putting even the most complex designs together. Despite the fact that I have been sewing garments since age 12, I have always felt overwhelmed about quilting. But your tutorials gave me a much better understanding and ultimately the confidence and motivation to GO FOR IT! I am still a novice certainly, but am having successes with each new project I’ve made, and have even been able to proudly gift and finally sell the last few table toppers and runners I’ve made. I am looking forward to completing a large quilt as beautiful as this Dresden and so many others you’ve demonstrated now that I have finally retired. Thanks to you I am a happy quilter and loving this journey. It’s sooooooo satisfying!
I can not say it enough, Donna, you truly are the fabric and quilt "whisperer"! Thank you so much for your detail instructions and snipets of "I found this way to make it easier".
Donna I would never have tried this before watching your tutorial! It seemed so complicated...but you have such neat shortcuts that it took all the scarey away. Oh love those nails!
Gotta love Donna's ability to figure out a shortcut, timesaver technique; and in this case, I think it makes a more secure point on the Dresden blade. That fabric with the metallic highlights just makes this project luscious.
I always look forward to your videos, you are one of the best "teachers" out there. There are still a lot of us that need the step by step tutorials that you do. lol Love the pattern and you choice of fabric was gorgeous. Thank you. ❣
I recently inherited a whole bunch of Dresden blocks, along with some hexagon blocks, that were made by my great grandmother and her sisters. I was already so taken with them, but watching this process, I have an even greater appreciation for them.
I have watched several of your videos and you explain everything so well, even pointing out potential pitfalls, that you have convinced me that I could make a quilt.
my great grandmother made this pattern, my mom took them and saved them into individual hoops with background fabric and gave them to me and my siblings. A piece of our history.
Love your nails! You are one of the best teachers ever! I’ve started watching you during the past few months. I need to watch a Donna Jordan video at least once a day. I’m addicted!
Watching a Jordan Fabrics video has become my cocktail hour every afternoon. I usually watch one of my old favorites, just for the pleasure of it without having to concentrate. So relaxing.
I think this is one of your best tutorials. Thanks! I've always been intimidated by the Dresden Plate pattern but you really broke down the process to make it very doable. The colors are elegant and gorgeous. Love it!!
Dresden designs have never really appealed to me but the Art Deco/Nouveau look of this quilt has really made my mouth water!! I just love this quilt 😍🤩😍
Yes, Sandie Brown! Something was ticking my brain while I was thinking, “This doesn’t look old fashioned at all!” Art Deco/Art Nouveau! Far more exotic design than the usual Dresden plate. You got it in one!
You squeeze a lot of information into a half hour! I love watching you and I always pick up tips even though I’ve been sewing for years! Thanks so much!
Love the colors, beautiful, I enjoy watching you .I am just a beginner and you are the BEST , I have learned so much from watching you.#1in my book, thank you for sharing your talent 👍👍👍
Me too. I have only been quilting for about 2 years or so and have never attempted a big quilt usually just make baby ones. But I think this one is so beautiful. I might give it a try.
I've had a major fibromyalgia flare and feel so bad today, but watching these videos is a pleasant and relaxing distraction. Especially watching the quilting machine. Thanks so much!
Your choice of colors and prints is always the best! This one here looks like royal Egyptian artifact. Such a simple picture on pattern package turned into something so stunning!
I absolutely love this quilt! I am a self taught quilter for about 30 years and have made a Dresden plate queen sized quilt for one of my daughters in purples and teals! My way was much harder years ago but now I may attempt another small one like this. I am definitely a sp”show me person” so I will watch this a couple more times. These colors you used are beautiful! Tfs👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I love to hear your cutting tool going through the material. Don’t know why but it’s just a sound I love. Very pretty quilt and I love your jelly roll choice.
This Dresden quilt is amazingly beautiful. When I was a child, my mother had picked up some partial Quilts in a second hand store. That was probably 55 years or more ago. All the tiny pieces to a couple of those quilts was really something. And whoever started them?? Because it was all hand stitched. One was little octagon and one was the Dresden pattern. They were absolutely gorgeous. I think one of my sisters got them when our mother passed on. But watching this video today brought back the memories of sitting around the dinning room table with family and all those Quilts and their beautiful pieces. Thank you. You are a very clever and smart gal. I loved the way you simplified the pattern directions. You're a joy to watch
My favorite of all patterns is the Dresden plate. I recently made a black and while bed spread for my queen size bed. I love it so much. I have a ton of extra fabric for that pattern that I know I can make something similar to the one your showing. Of course you make it seem so easy, but your the expert. thank you.
I made this quilt. The hardest part for me was finding all the material that Donna used in the video as I wanted to make it exactly like it. the main blocks were made in a week, which for me was a miracle. I had some issues with the triangles but made it through just fine. learning process. the friend I had in mind when I made this quilt absolutely loves it. Donna is the best teacher!
Stunningly gorgeous fabrics. I don't usually like browns, but these caramel-ly gold-y browns complement the blues so well. I have a dresden ruler coming in the mail soon!
HI DONNA&CO, THIS IS FARE MY FAVOURITE QUILT YOU'VE DONE. THE COLOURS ARE SO RICH AND CRISP. YOU HAVE A BRILLIANT EYE FOR COLOUR. I love the metallic fabric issued nice. Thank you for another brilliant tutorial. Thank you to your whole team. Kathleen. England
Beautiful colors! New watching your videos-love it. Been quilting about 30 years, but always loved Applique. Now I’m doing more on the machine. Love 💕 this Dresden you’re doing.
That is a gorgeous fabric line! I really liked how you separated the colors for the inner and first outer borders; very effective. Another beautiful Cozy Quilt. Every video, I try to guess which color of thread you’ll choose for the quilting, and whether I’m right or not, I appreciate your explanation of your color choice. Love your videos, Donna! Thank you!
Hi Donna from Ireland, I absolutely love this quilt , it has to be my next project, I may hand appliqué it as I love hand sewing also, I’m so jealous of all the pretty fabric you can get in the States.It is so costly to get delivered to Ireland.
Hello folks, I am from Austria, I fell in love with quilting works already during the time I went to school. Now that I have retired and have the time to watch your inspiring tutorials, I am thinking to start with little quilting works myself. Be sure, that I will turn on you for getting the textiles I then need. Kind regards from Ingrid, your Austrian fan!
I’m usually not a fan of the Dresden pattern but OMG I am totally in love with your colour choice. Simply stunning. I love all your tutorials. Thank you so much for doing what you do. Cheers from Pembroke, Ontario.
same here, not a big fan of the Dresden pattern either, but after seeing what Donna did with it here, WOW!!!, I've had a change of mind. and Oh those color, they look so great together, and the backing, love it, just simply beautiful.
Did any one catch the name of the fabric Donna used? I googled Fiordora and nothing came up. Either I am not spelling it correctly or I am not catching the name exactly. I absolutely agree with Rose.
I often look at the thumbnail and think no way that’s too complicated for me. Then I watch your video and think oh yeah I can do this! Thank you Donna!
Love the colors you chose! Your explanations and tutorials are so easy to understand, too. Thank you for discovering the "shortcut" to making all those Dresden points also; looked like a great time saver. Videographer did great on the closeups too. Thank you again for the inspiration.
Another video that I’ll watch a dozen times, even if I never get around to making a Dresden myself. Thank you for your videos, this one obviously took a lot of work!
After watching your tutorial 1 million times & getting a template - I made the center Dresden plate & two half plates (I only had 1 jelly roll on hand to work with). Mine look so much smaller than yours & I had to add more sections to mine than you did. I am a baby quilter & this is my first attempt at something that wasn't SQUARE! LOL I had a great time doing it & am going to make another one tomorrow.
Уже 3 года смотрю ваши ролики, вижу как вы сама внешне изменились в лучшую сторону, вы большая труженица!! Спасибо за ваш труд по которому можно учиться даже не зная английского!!
I really enjoyed watching how she made the Dresden points and the whole quilt. Made it look really easy. I love the Dresden look and in particular this quilt!
Hello Donna, hope all is well with you and yours. Now, I was thrown away by this quilt the Dresden Bloom, OMG, I am definitely going to try to make it. Thank you you are absolutely amazing!!! I love it.
I am obsessed with your tutorials. You make everything look so easy and DOABLE. Very inspiring and I think I need to do one of these Dresden quilts for my sister! Thank you.
I love this video. Whenever I need to relax or calm down; it's off to Jordan Fabrics to watch Donna make this gorgeous quilt! Thank you for helping with my mental health.
I love the Dresden pattern and loved also you giving us two ways to make it. It certainly is beautiful in the fabrics you chose and I think it would make a lovely wall hanging. I would probably hand stitch the Dresden plate onto the background by hand and there’s an easy way to make the circle appliqués using sewable light-weight interfacing on top of the front, stitching around and then turning it right side out. It is a very three D design, oo.
I adore this Dresden. I love the colors that you chose too! What an incredible gift this will make for my son and wife. Your videos are such clear instruction. Thanks so much! I’m addicted!
I finally purchased some teal and brown jelly rolls. Not nearly as stunning or as pretty as this Fiorella by Robert Kauffman...but I will try to make it look as closely to thuis tutorial as possible. This will look stunning on my family room wall. 😍 Thanks Donna, for your excellent inspiration & shortcuts.
Donna and team, I think this is one of your best videos ever. Your instructions were slow and methodical and just seemed extremely balanced. Thank you for all your teachings.
What I love about the Jordan Fabrics Videos is not only Donna’s way of simplifying the quilting pattern designs but her soft voice, methodical style, and attention to details. Thank you Donna and Jordan Fabrics.
Jordan, I love this quilt and your 'how to" instructions. I'm still what I'd call a beginner+ and am just getting back to quilting after losing my husband three months ago. It really gives me joy to make quilts. Thank you so much! May our Lord Jesus continue to bless you and family!
Your jelly roll choice is what makes this quilt design absolutely stunning. I so appreciate your teaching style. Especially when you share some of your ''shortcuts'.
I’m making this pattern for the second time. It’s very easy to do & the first quilt turned out very nice. This time I’m using Fiorella 10” squares. Hoping I have enough material for the folders. And I cut the Dresdens whole instead of using two 2 1/2” strips. Made it very fast to put together.
Hello, Thank you for this amazing tutoriol!. I have been watching several of your videos and I have to comment on how you present them. I am 76 years old and just starting to quilt. I love to sew. Your voice is so calm and you speak clearly and teach in an understanding way for my old ears. I like your sewing table and pin cushion wristband too. The pattern is one of my favorites and been searching an easy way to make. now I have and will use it to make this lovely quilt. Thank you so much, Gail L. Elkhorn, Wisconsin
When will this jelly roll fabric be BACK ON LINE? This metallic Fiorella by Kaufman matches my home decor perfectly? I've already bought the pattern, now just waiting for this fabric to magically RE-appear. Please help me out Donna.🤗😅💙
I love the fabric you chose. Just lovely. Thank you for the tip, taking one step out is nice. I’ve a Dresden Quilt I’m wanting to make and any step I don’t have to do I’m loving to not do it. 😁
How much bigger do you want it to be? You can always add a larger--or another--border. Ilike rectangle quilts most times. I usually Dd another border to the top and bottom. On this auilt you might make the center square just bit bigger. Then p,ace the outside Dresdens a little bit further away from the square. I hope this helped bit!
I have made this quilt twice, I love it! To make it bigger, I suggest making multiple quilt blocks, -example four of the complete Dresden quilt shown. That would make a nice, queen-sized quilt.
I made this quilt as a gift for my MIL. One thing I would recommend is to do edge to edge quilting. I tried to get fancy and do a more custom type FMQ and it really took away from the design. Best job of piecing I ever did and this pattern was so much fun, I am making it again.
Mrs. Donna, you are a Incredible Quilt Teacher, love the comment that described you, “ Quilt Whisperer “ !!!

I have been wanting to make a quilt for yearsssssss, have never dared to take the leap, but this video has given me the courage! Thank you
You're single handedly turning me into a budding quilter. What an absolutely gorgeous design and so well explained for a novice. Thank you Donna.❤
Thank you Donna for being such a great teacher. The way you sewed the Dresden blades is such a time saver and much easier.
Thank you Donna, I started quilting a couple of years ago, learning from You Tube. You always make everything so simple, your instructions are very detailed & so clear you are my guru, I really can't thank you enough for all the time you've taken with these videos. :)

Donna Jordan you have a great eye for combining colors. Cozy Strip Club has Club has great patterns. You two are awesome together 👌 . I can't believe someone would give you a thumbs down, but oh well. There thousands that LOVE YOU❤!!!
Hello Lisa
Okay, this is gorgeous. What a fabric choice - one I might not have made before but would not dismiss after seeing the richness of the colors together in this quilt. Thank you, Donna, for another accessible and well-explained version of the Dresden pattern. Maybe someday I'll try a Dresden. Love the split blades too.
Zona Wilson I will add my voice to the chorus. This is one of the most gorgeous quilt you’ve ever done.
You are a genius at finding the easiest way to make these quilts. Thank you. I’m learning so much
I'm loving this fabric/pattern! One tip for the centers if you want an easy turned edge - I use 1 sided fusible light to midweight interfacing - mark your circle on the wrong side of your fabric, and with the fusible side towards the right side of the fabric sew on your line. Then cut a slit in the fusible and turn your circle right side out - clipping or pinking the edges first. Run a bone folder around the edge and finger press. Now your fusible in on the outside, fuse to your backing and your edges are turned under! Sew around as you did.
Thank you for the great tip on sewing both edges of the wedge at once - that will go into my bag of tricks!
this is the way I do it except I didn't use fusible but this is the way I like to do applique I like a finished edge.
Hello 👋
I am not a professional but your idea makes the quilt seem more professional and secure. Thanks for the tip.
I’m making this quilt now and will definitely use this great tip. Thank you!
This sounds very interesting but I'm a beginner and not sure what you are saying.. I think I understand the concept but will have to play around first. Thanks for the idea!

I love to hear your cutting tool going through the material. Don’t know why but it’s just a sound I love. Very pretty quilt and I love your jelly roll choice.
ME TOO BONITA! That sound is mesmerizing! I love the sound of the steam iron also!!
I like how your machine sounds. I have used a juki and loved it. You are a teacher at heart I think
I've always admired this pattern. You may it less intimidating. FAbric choices are gorgeous.
Hello pretty lady
Thanks for the shortcut on the Dresden! That makes it a lot easier to make
This Dresden quilt is amazingly beautiful. When I was a child, my mother had picked up some partial Quilts in a second hand store. That was probably 55 years or more ago. All the tiny pieces to a couple of those quilts was really something. And whoever started them?? Because it was all hand stitched. One was little octagon and one was the Dresden pattern. They were absolutely gorgeous. I think one of my sisters got them when our mother passed on. But watching this video today brought back the memories of sitting around the dinning room table with family and all those Quilts and their beautiful pieces. Thank you. You are a very clever and smart gal. I loved the way you simplified the pattern directions. You're a joy to watch
My favorite of all patterns is the Dresden plate. I recently made a black and while bed spread for my queen size bed. I love it so much. I have a ton of extra fabric for that pattern that I know I can make something similar to the one your showing. Of course you make it seem so easy, but your the expert. thank you.
Hi Pat
I made this quilt. The hardest part for me was finding all the material that Donna used in the video as I wanted to make it exactly like it. the main blocks were made in a week, which for me was a miracle. I had some issues with the triangles but made it through just fine. learning process. the friend I had in mind when I made this quilt absolutely loves it. Donna is the best teacher!
I couldn’t hear what Fabric this is…it is definitely my favorite part of this video!!
Can you say the name of the fabric for us please?!
Stunningly gorgeous fabrics. I don't usually like browns, but these caramel-ly gold-y browns complement the blues so well. I have a dresden ruler coming in the mail soon!
HI DONNA&CO,
THIS IS FARE MY FAVOURITE QUILT YOU'VE DONE. THE COLOURS ARE SO RICH AND CRISP. YOU HAVE A BRILLIANT EYE FOR COLOUR. I love the metallic fabric issued nice. Thank you for another brilliant tutorial. Thank you to your whole team. Kathleen. England
Donna, you are such a great teacher. Loved this lesson. The finished quilt is beautiful.
Hello How are you? Hope you're doing well and enjoying life! Just checking if you are keeping safe and stay healthy💞💕💕
Beautiful colors! New watching your videos-love it. Been quilting about 30 years, but always loved Applique. Now I’m doing more on the machine. Love 💕 this Dresden you’re doing.
I love that quilt, Donna you do a great job with all your tutorials easy to follow I have made a few of your quilts my family love them.
The Dresden Bloom quilt is Absolutely beautiful...you rock.
That is a gorgeous fabric line! I really liked how you separated the colors for the inner and first outer borders; very effective. Another beautiful Cozy Quilt. Every video, I try to guess which color of thread you’ll choose for the quilting, and whether I’m right or not, I appreciate your explanation of your color choice. Love your videos, Donna! Thank you!
Hey I do the same thing. Try to guess which colour Donna will choose. I can usually guess but today got it wrong!, 😔
Anita, I do the same. Donna threw us a curve today as she had four thread choices instead of her usual three 😉😉.
I’m guilty as well. I love how she does this as we are learning all the time. Donna, you are the best.
Kathy Eubanks I do too! I’m always wrong! Haha
Hi Donna from Ireland, I absolutely love this quilt , it has to be my next project, I may hand appliqué it as I love hand sewing also, I’m so jealous of all the pretty fabric you can get in the States.It is so costly to get delivered to Ireland.
Hello folks, I am from Austria, I fell in love with quilting works already during the time I went to school. Now that I have retired and have the time to watch your inspiring tutorials, I am thinking to start with little quilting works myself. Be sure, that I will turn on you for getting the textiles I then need. Kind regards from Ingrid, your Austrian fan!
I’m usually not a fan of the Dresden pattern but OMG I am totally in love with your colour choice. Simply stunning. I love all your tutorials. Thank you so much for doing what you do. Cheers from Pembroke, Ontario.
same here, not a big fan of the Dresden pattern either, but after seeing what Donna did with it here, WOW!!!, I've had a change of mind. and Oh those color, they look so great together, and the backing, love it, just simply beautiful.
Did any one catch the name of the fabric Donna used? I googled Fiordora and nothing came up. Either I am not spelling it correctly or I am not catching the name exactly. I absolutely agree with Rose.
Susan Paquin The fabric is called Fiorella but it’s not available till October 30. I agree. It is beautiful.
Mary Fehily thanks so much!
@@susanpaquin5231 it is Fiorella
I often look at the thumbnail and think no way that’s too complicated for me. Then I watch your video and think oh yeah I can do this! Thank you Donna!
Hello Trina's
Love the colors you chose! Your explanations and tutorials are so easy to understand, too. Thank you for discovering the "shortcut" to making all those Dresden points also; looked like a great time saver. Videographer did great on the closeups too. Thank you again for the inspiration.
Hi Lori
Love the simpler way to make this Dresden quilt! Thank you for sharing!
Hello pretty lady.
Another video that I’ll watch a dozen times, even if I never get around to making a Dresden myself. Thank you for your videos, this one obviously took a lot of work!
Dresden is easy, just boring to do - because it is so easy.
After watching your tutorial 1 million times & getting a template - I made the center Dresden plate & two half plates (I only had 1 jelly roll on hand to work with). Mine look so much smaller than yours & I had to add more sections to mine than you did. I am a baby quilter & this is my first attempt at something that wasn't SQUARE! LOL I had a great time doing it & am going to make another one tomorrow.
Уже 3 года смотрю ваши ролики, вижу как вы сама внешне изменились в лучшую сторону, вы большая труженица!! Спасибо за ваш труд по которому можно учиться даже не зная английского!!
Hola como puedo adquirir el combinado de telas el rollito por que en América latina no hay quicier comprar para elaborarlo dígame por favor
Como se llama la maquina que se utiza
I really enjoyed watching how she made the Dresden points and the whole quilt. Made it look really easy. I love the Dresden look and in particular this quilt!
Hello How are you? Hope you're doing well and enjoying life! Just checking if you are keeping safe and stay healthy💞💕💕
This is such a nice take on a traditional quilt. I love the fabrics you chose. They really do enhance the pattern and are so pretty!💕
Hi how are you
Hello Donna, hope all is well with you and yours. Now, I was thrown away by this quilt the Dresden Bloom, OMG, I am definitely going to try to make it. Thank you you are absolutely amazing!!! I love it.
Hello pretty lady
I am obsessed with your tutorials. You make everything look so easy and DOABLE. Very inspiring and I think I need to do one of these Dresden quilts for my sister! Thank you.
Hello Dale. How are you doing?
I won't feel tired of saying that your tutorials are great, you do all you can to make it easier for us! thanks a lot.
Hello How are you? Hope you're doing well and enjoying life! Just checking if you are keeping safe and stay healthy💞💕💕
Oh my, this is the most beautiful quilt you have ever done. Love everything about it.
How are you doing Jean
I love this video. Whenever I need to relax or calm down; it's off to Jordan Fabrics to watch Donna make this gorgeous quilt! Thank you for helping with my mental health.
That Dresden quilt is gorgeous. Love the colors too
Hello Pat
This is absolutely stunning, the fabric colour choices are beautiful....
Hello Janet
I loved it. I just started quilting again after about a 30 year absence. I love your video. Especially when you demonstrated your long arm.
I love the Dresden pattern and loved also you giving us two ways to make it. It certainly is beautiful in the fabrics you chose and I think it would make a lovely wall hanging. I would probably hand stitch the Dresden plate onto the background by hand and there’s an easy way to make the circle appliqués using sewable light-weight interfacing on top of the front, stitching around and then turning it right side out. It is a very three D design, oo.
It’s beautiful to do the circle in the center like what you things to do and also if you put stuffing inside the circle to make it 3-D puffy
I adore this Dresden. I love the colors that you chose too! What an incredible gift this will make for my son and wife.
Your videos are such clear instruction. Thanks so much!
I’m addicted!

I finally purchased some teal and brown jelly rolls. Not nearly as stunning or as pretty as this Fiorella by Robert Kauffman...but I will try to make it look as closely to thuis tutorial as possible. This will look stunning on my family room wall. 😍 Thanks Donna, for your excellent inspiration & shortcuts.
Hello How are you? Hope you're doing well and enjoying life! Just checking if you are keeping safe and stay healthy💞💕💕
That quilt is stunning. I had so much fun watching YOU make it. lol
Donna and team, I think this is one of your best videos ever. Your instructions were slow and methodical and just seemed extremely balanced. Thank you for all your teachings.

What I love about the Jordan Fabrics Videos is not only Donna’s way of simplifying the quilting pattern designs but her soft voice, methodical style, and attention to details. Thank you Donna and Jordan Fabrics.
Jordan, I love this quilt and your 'how to" instructions. I'm still what I'd call a beginner+ and am just getting back to quilting after losing my husband three months ago. It really gives me joy to make quilts. Thank you so much! May our Lord Jesus continue to bless you and family!
Love this quilt, especially the fabrics that you selected....absolutely gorgeous
Best quilt tutorial’s in my opinion. Easy to understand. Thank you.
Absolutely Stunning quilt Donna!! Thank you for such a Wonderful tutorial!
Hi how are you
Your jelly roll choice is what makes this quilt design absolutely stunning. I so appreciate your teaching style. Especially when you share some of your ''shortcuts'.
I’m making this pattern for the second time. It’s very easy to do & the first quilt turned out very nice. This time I’m using Fiorella 10” squares. Hoping I have enough material for the folders. And I cut the Dresdens whole instead of using two 2 1/2” strips. Made it very fast to put together.
Hello, Thank you for this amazing tutoriol!. I have been watching several of your videos and I have to comment on how you present them.
I am 76 years old and just starting to quilt. I love to sew. Your voice is so calm and you speak clearly and teach in an understanding way for my old ears. I like your sewing table and pin cushion wristband too.
The pattern is one of my favorites and been searching an easy way to make. now I have and will use it to make this lovely quilt.
Thank you so much,

When will this jelly roll fabric be BACK ON LINE? This metallic Fiorella by Kaufman matches my home decor perfectly? I've already bought the pattern, now just waiting for this fabric to magically RE-appear. Please help me out Donna.🤗😅💙
Omg what amazing color in that Dresdin quilt. Especially that Champaign color. Absolutely yummy
I have never been a big fan of the dresden quilts. But this is gorgeous.
Hello Debbie
Can I just say how much I LOVE your technical wording 🥰🥰ie poker thingie
I love the fabric you chose. Just lovely. Thank you for the tip, taking one step out is nice. I’ve a Dresden Quilt I’m wanting to make and any step I don’t have to do I’m loving to not do it. 😁
Hello 👋
Wow, Donna! What a beautiful method. Thanks so much for your great demonstration. As always, you are so helpful and easy to understand.
This is the 4th time I’ve watched this video. I am enamored with this quilt. I’m figuring out how I can make it bigger without ruining the look
How much bigger do you want it to be? You can always add a larger--or another--border. Ilike rectangle quilts most times. I usually Dd another border to the top and bottom. On this auilt you might make the center square just bit bigger. Then p,ace the outside Dresdens a little bit further away from the square. I hope this helped bit!
@@sbear7251 thank you yes it did.
I have made this quilt twice, I love it! To make it bigger, I suggest making multiple quilt blocks, -example four of the complete Dresden quilt shown. That would make a nice, queen-sized quilt.
@@staceyfranks01 thank you sew much. I appreciate you taking the time to write to me

I made this quilt as a gift for my MIL. One thing I would recommend is to do edge to edge quilting. I tried to get fancy and do a more custom type FMQ and it really took away from the design. Best job of piecing I ever did and this pattern was so much fun, I am making it again.
I loved watching you explain in detail putting this together. Thank you.Eva
Hello cute friend. How are you doing.
