Making a "Queen Size" Trip Around the World.

- I lost count of how many messages I received asking for this video. I hope everyone who asked gets to see this. With this tutorial you will be able to make a Queen Sized Bed Spread. I love this pattern and have made it many times because it turns out looking SO different every single time. It changes with the colors you choose, etc. If you want this to be a King Spread? Just add borders.
We have patterns for this quilt and the baby quilt on our website now. (Also a much asked for pattern with our directions.) Please share it with your other quilting friends so that they too can make a Trip Around the World the easy way!!
Here is a link to the patterns on our website: www.merrymabel...

So beautiful! You simplify all the steps so well. I love that you don’t drag it on forever, but we can watch it as often as it takes to make our own. Thanks!!
Asking a couple for their two colors is such a good idea.Thanks for sharing
It was a fun challenge.
Said it again you are one of the best tutorial teachers on UA-cam!!
Wow, thanks! So kind.
You are not only a great quilter, you ROCK at the demonstration of quilting, education and directions to this pattern and filming of these videos! Applause!!! Thank you- so beautiful!!!
What a kind comment. Truly. Thank you.
Yes. I love the colors as well and great way to put all together!
Thank you! Cheers!
First quilt i ever made was a Trip Around The World quilt. Loved it.
Wonderful!
Thank you for demonstrating how to do the TAW. I'm working on a TAW using men's shirts (a request from a friend to use her father's shirts - 19 of them). The strip method wasn't used so I had to sew hundreds of 2.5" squares together but I did create strips using your advise on making "friends" with the colors, then I used your method shown on your baby size TAW (thank you for that). The top turned out beautiful. I'm also attempting to do a quilt-as-you-go method using quadrants or maybe 1/2. To make it even more interesting, the backing is made of 5" squares of the shirt material. I may be doing a lot of un-picking, who knows, but I love the challenge.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! I'm so glad you were able to have success. I too have made quilts from shirts. It's a lot more work, but pretty great in the end!
Your color selection is gorgeous
Love how it turned out. The colors are beautiful together. This quilt pattern is on my bucket list. I've watched a lot of different tecniques for making them and this one seems to be pretty easy. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!
Just something about your videos...and I will say it again - Love Them! You think like I do...Fabrics having friends... fabric going eh.... meh... when squaring up! They are just so enjoyable, fun, interesting, genuinely one of the best out there for quilting...
Love that! Thank you.
This is amazing
Hi there, I started to learn patchworking when i fell in love with the Around the world and also the log cabin patterns. Both i have yet to make, but i have just my 3rd top to get quilted before i can make my dream ones. This one was a beauty with the pink against the black/brown, as it showed each off to it's best advantage. Thank you for sharing both how you garnered the colours and how you kept changing them around until you got it running in the right sequence for you. Crafty hugs from Norah, Glenochil, Scotland
Norah, I love hearing about your quilting journey! The "Trip Around the World" quilts was one I learned early on when I was learning how to piece. I wish you great success!

Beautiful and easy! Thanks
I love the color combination! It's so beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
My first official quilt was a twin version of this pattern for our 8 year old son. Still holding up after almost 4 decades. Didn’t use nearly as efficient a method as yours to put it all together! I had a local quilt shop tie and bind it.
That is awesome! I do so love the look of a Trip Around the World!!
I spend way toooo much time playing with fabric decisions great color choices your team made
Asking for two favorite colors really was a fun way to choose!
Brilliant!!! Thanks so much.
My first time here. LOVE the simplistic method. It's so easy. Thanks 💜
Welcome!
Absolutely beautiful! She makes it look so easy!!!
It really is so easy,
This quilt is still on my "to-do" list!
It's ALWAYS good to have something to look forward to - on your "to do" list.
Loved this one, so beautiful
Genius method of production. Very impressive.
Wow, thanks!
It is soooo beautiful! Thank you!

Thank you! Cheers!
Ez nagyon nagy odafigyelést kíván ! Csak gratulálni tudok !!👍
I’ve just made this and It’s turned out great thanks to your demonstration. Perfect instructions and straightforward to understand. I’ve wanted one my whole life but never had time or the skill. Thank you, if I could post a photo of it I would 👍
I am SO happy for you!
Thank you - your video makes it so very clear just how to make this quilt.
I'm so glad!
I’ve always wanted to make this pattern but I’ve never thought I could without getting all confused. After watching your video I know I can! I’m going to shop my stash
YAY!! Have so much fun!
Thank you for this tutorial! I am in the middle of making my queen size trip around the world quilt using your pattern and I must say, I have been wanting to make one of these for years and YOUR tutorial gave me the courage to cut up my favorite fabrics and get to it! Thank you again!
Hooray! What delightful fun!!
@@merrymabelmarketI finished my quilt top yesterday and placed it on my queen bed. It's going to beautiful on my parents king size bed. It was laying in the floor on both sides of my bed so I'm going to have to adjust the pattern just enough to make it smaller to work for my bed. Thank you again for the pattern and tutorial! This is truly a beautiful quilt.
I just found this! I'm SO glad to hear it worked so well for you.
Absolutely beautiful
Thank you! 😊
Absolutely stunning! Love it. Your instruction is so clear too! Will be sharing this to my newsletter readers this week.. ❤
Wonderful!
Stunning!
Linda , simplesmente linda!!! Parabéns
That is so neat😮😮 I was intimidated by this style, but now I'll definitely try it. Thanks for sharing.
Have so much fun!!
Love these colors! I think I’m going to try to do the queen sized version. I did the regular size one, and it was so fun! I was only confused one time, and was fine after re watching the video. You explain everything so well.
Go for it! Have fun!
Beautiful and great tutorial !
Thank you so much!
Brilliant explanation.
I have found my next quilt!
havve SO MUCH fun!
Very very pretty 🎉I’ve never made one looks fairly easy 🤔I would have to start w smaller one to start with. Twin/ full how many fabrics for that size ??
ua-cam.com/video/I-lOqxwwTpE/v-deo.html Here is the link to our UA-cam video that teaches how to make a baby quilt. You can try the pattern out with that one. We also have a queen and a baby quilt pattern for sale on our website.
Your quilt is so beautiful 💖😊 I love it 💖💕😍
Thank you! Cheers!
Love it 😊
I am going to try this starting tonight 😬 ❤😊
Hope you enjoy!
That is beautiful
Thank you.
Clever girl!!! I love it, is amazing &sensational!
And I will share it😊🤗🌷🌸🌻
Thanks so much 😊
Most fabric is 44/45 inside how do you get 49 in of length? Great video! I love that you only give what is needed without the endless chatter that so many do. And it’s quick. you get a great overview of the process and I can go back and start and stop later .
Agreed. I count on getting 40-42 myself. I'm not sure what you mean by 49? Maybe something was misunderstood? We do have a pattern to buy on our website if you want more help to make it?
www.merrymabelmarket.com/quilt-patterns
She said she buys a yard and a half of each fabric
love the colors
It was a fun way to choose them.
❤❤❤
This quilt is beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing your method for doing this classic pattern. I would like to know many strip sets would I need if I wanted to make regular full size bed quilt?
i would get grid paper and draw it out the size you want. You can use less colors if you need to. For this sized strip, every square equals 3 inches. Best wishes.
Well done! Just found you. Liked and subscribed so I don’t miss anything. Now I have to make this!!!😘. The voice over is effective.
Thanks for subbing!
beautiful trip around the world quilt.... i would like to make a double size one...what would be the measurements of the fabric needed and how many strips and measurement of strips... Thankyou..
We don't have a pattern for that size. You can get some graph paper and color it in to decide on the fabrics and squares for yourself. Or, you can buy our queen sized pattern and draw lines on our diagram then subtract until you get to the size you want. I usually measure the bed I'm making it for, so that I can aim for a correct size for the particular bed I want to put it on.
I need to watch this on a slower speed for my slow brain lol!!!!! Looks kinda doable for me to attempt ha ha
It is SO doable. Watch the other one where I make a baby trip around the world and you will totally know you can do it in any size!!
Could I make this quilt with larger strip sets, like 4-1/2, 5 or 5-1/2, etc.? What size would you suggest so they work well with the fabric width?
Yes, you can choose the size block. I prefer smaller because the size will affect how many trips you get and the look of the quilt. My best advice is to get some graft paper and draw and color the quilt you want. Yes - some math might be involved.
Thank you so much! I love the quilt. Do you know how many strips to cut for a king size quilt?
You can add borders. Our pattern is a Queen Sized Spread (which is really close to a King sized... so you would only need a couple more strips I think. I always draw out a graph of what I want. The Queen pattern is on our website if you want to look there.
@@merrymabelmarket Thank you so much!!
Great tips! What do you called that handheld cutter? Never seen that before 😊
ua-cam.com/video/c-JES6cVTR4/v-deo.html I talk all about it in this video on tools. About one minute and eighteen seconds into the video... I show cutters.
Do you switch up which end you start from, to avoid curve?
If that is a problem for you - you sure can. I'm aware of that.......but I don't have a problem with it so much with this bigger pattern.
I really want to try this beautiful quilt but not knoladgeble about from where to procure same fabric and of same colour please advise
We sell the pattern on our website. you can just go to quilt shops and look for similar fabric. The fabric I used isn't necessarily current so you can get close, but not an exact match. Best wishes!!
😮❤👍🏼🇩🇴
9 different fabrics, 1.5 yards each. How many to do a king? I’m guessing 15. 🤷♀️
I've done king quilts with the same 8-10 ish fabrics. You can make the squares bigger.... or you can fmake the squares smaller and have more rounds. Get graph paper and draw out what you want. Or just add borders.
We do have a queen pattern for sale at our website, if you think that would help you when designing your own pattern.
Mine fits my KING. it is HUGE!!
I would love to see TAW using 5" squares (or precut squares)... can never figure out how many of each color!
I hear ya~!
impressive, now make a trip around the galaxy. 0.0
Lmao , can you talk a bit slower, please ❣️❣️ I’m confused on how to go
1 layer lower
I would have to watch this a bunch more times . That’s how much I love the style😍😍
We do have a pattern to help with some written directions and diagrams in it if you think that would serve you. It's for sale on our website: Merrymabelmarket.com
Thank you for your sweet note!
I don’t understand why you laid those four strips down First could you explain please
That is the center and becomes your "guide" strip so you can build the rest of the quilt. OR - maybe you mean the strips that I laid down because they didn't need sewn into a circle to be ripped apart in the same place........because the blocks were already in the right place for the positions I put them in.
@@merrymabelmarket yes I meant the ones you did not sew in the loop. I think I understand as soon as I finish this quilt I’m working on I wanna make this one it is so pretty. I’m very new to quilting, I can’t read a pattern yet , “sew “😁I watch a video over and over .
Tried to download app. Wasn’t on apple.
We don't have an app. If it's the pattern you want, it is here: www.merrymabelmarket.com/quilt-patterns/p/merry-queen-trip-around-the-world-quilt-pattern-digital-download
What are the measurements of your cutting mat?
It's 24" x 36".
How long are the strips?
Width of fabric.
How many colors to use for a king size quilt
Usually TATW quilts have 7-10 colors. But as usual...I vote to break any rules you ever want to. You can make a queen sized and add borders if you want. Or...just make your quilt bigger.
OK so I can use 10 colors and use border for King size. Thanks
I'm happily single and will make one for my queen size bed. I hope to stay single....but I'm not against others getting married.
It will be fun to have a new Spread!
What is the finished size of this quilt
If you look on the video at nine minutes and 24 seconds, I show the measurements. We have a pattern for sale on our website if you need more help making the pattern.
Very confusing.I guess because you are talking so fast and the sewing is so fast also.
ua-cam.com/video/I-lOqxwwTpE/v-deo.html Here is the first video on this pattern that we made if you are truly interested. It is pretty straight forward and you can follow how to do it by pausing the videos. Also, we have inexpensive patterns to help on our website. (Listed in the description area below the videos.) Best wishes!
@@merrymabelmarket I have a question. Instead of cutting each strip and sewing them into loops why can't you see the whole strip set into a tube then cut the strips?
I slow down the speed. On my screen in the top right there is a wheel icon. Tap on the wheel and you can pick 75% or 50%. I love this woman but I have to slow the speed down. Good luck. Try it.
@@sjfuqua You can do what you asked. I did it early on. It is much more difficult to keep the fabric "straight"... So I prefer the individual sewing.
@@merrymabelmarket ahhh that makes sense. Thanks for explaining that. :)
