    Watching you sometimes it’s hard because you were my sister‘s favorite quilting show to watch and she died last year but I continue to watch you it brings back memories plus I love the way you pick colors and put them together so easily and I love the way you show short cuts or tips thank you for all you do - I know it’s hard work 🥰🙏🏽

    The thing that I love about Donna is that she shows how to use the basic equipment. Most show's show you all of the fancy stuff that you have to buy. But with Donna it is a basic pencil, and you can use the special ruler, or here is how you use the regular rule that everyone owns. I really respect that about her. Thank you so much for making quilting more affordable, and accessible

      Exactly. Quilting items are over priced. Jordan Fabrics make videos that are so helpful and Donna teaches in a way that makes the project attainable. My first quilt was one of her free patterns.

    Thank you Donna for your tutorials. I have not sewn a quilt in 20 years since my grandmother passed. Quilting was our favorite time together. I am ready to start again to keep her memory alive. The "Rock Star" quit is very beautiful. The color choices really pop. You are an excellent teacher and make sewing fun.

    I am going to repeat a lot of the same comments. I love that you don’t have to buy more accessories to make a featured quilt and can use what I have. Donna you are wonderful in this aspect! I frequently am attracted to quilt patterns and then will find material to make that quilt. What I love about Donna is that she picks colors that I would not have considered and they come out great. I also like that she posts customer made quilts of her patterns that frequently use additional color options. I also like that she finds ways to incorporate scraps to avoid wasted material. I am frequently now also looking at my scraps and using them in the original quilt design. You have a great channel and I always “do all the things” to let you tube know that I appreciate your content!

  • @susankooiman8352
    @susankooiman8352 2 роки тому +65

    i ALMOST discarded this pattern from consideration until I saw that you constructed the scraps into a border piece and incorporated it into the backing. Without these two additional steps in the process, I think the pattern is somewhat wasteful of fabric. A black mark in my book. You saved the day and the quilt is drop dead gorgeous!
    That said, I almost always choose fabric before I settle on a pattern choice. Once I have "shopped" my stash, I take a stack of potential fabric candidates to my pattern collection and make a gigantic mess on my worktable of pictures and fabrics, trying to choose the perfect pair. I often run back and forth to my fabric crates and bring out even more candidates. I lose track of time and have a glorious good time.

    • @Rhodeygirl
      @Rhodeygirl 2 роки тому +3

      Yes to shopping the stash! Also, yes, this pattern has way too much waste. The designers were trying way too hard to use jelly rolls when maybe charms or just yardage would have been a better fit.

    • @jayneterry8701
      @jayneterry8701 2 роки тому +1

  • @alicelau9856
    @alicelau9856 2 роки тому +2

    Most of the time, I fall in love with a fabric and then figure out a pattern that will work with it. Sometimes I'll find a pattern I love and get fabric to go with it, but that happens way less often.

    I didn't even watch this the first time it was put out there but after going back toady to see something new, I was totally impressed with this one. In answer to your question, sometimes I buy fabrics without a plan and other times I Buy a pattern without a fabric in mind. So with your tutorials, I often, end up with a plan. Thank you for your contribution to the quilting society.
    My grandmother taught me to piece and quilt at her old wooden quilting frame when I was about 10 or 12. Which was soooo many years ago. (I'm 84 now) But of course life happened with three children and working as an LPN. I sewed off and on but retired at 77 (I know, crazy LOL) I have learned and enjoyed "sew" much watching your tutorials. Thanks again, Donna, Matt and group.

    I usually pick the pattern before the fabric. Usually the only exception is when I find holiday fabric I love. Then I’ll pick the fabric and find a pattern that would look best with the fabric. Thanks for all of your videos! I love the inspiration and how easy you make it, even the most difficult looking patterns.

    Oh gosh the moment I've been waiting for ! Always go to bed watching 👀 to see new quilts. I have to figure out how to make my daughter's wedding band quilt. I watched my granny quilt and make each one of us girls one. Unfortunately she passed away a month ago and my daughter is so hurt by it so if one thing I have in my goals is to make one for my daughter as a memorial to my grandmother.

      @kommanderwood6778 2 роки тому +2

      I can confirm, I made a double wedding ring quilt for some dear friends of mine following Donna Jordans tutorial and it turned out great!! To add a more complex look without having to piece each ring out of the tiny wedges, I cut my fabric for the rings into strips and then made strip sets out of them. One of yellow fabrics and one of purple... their wedding colors. I used the template Donna Jordan used to cut the rings out of the strip sets, and it turned out great!! Much easier than piecing together tiny little wedges, while making it look like i really spent a lot of time on it... They loved it!!

  • @annes1947

    I like this quilt and the colors. I usually buy fabric first then look for a pattern. My dream quilting class would take place in a store like yours where the objective is for students to select fabrics for specific patterns and then receive feedback and guidance. I really enjoy watching Matt choose fabric. He explains his choices.

  • @patnorrad1964
    @patnorrad1964 2 роки тому +1

    I quite often pick my fabrics first and then hunt for a pattern however, I also have several patterns with me when I shop for fabric. I agree with Rhonda's reply whole-heartily; couldn't have said it better. It irritates me when I'm told I 'have to have' a particular ruler to make a pattern. Donna will show you what both rulers can do and let you decide which is best for you, which I respect and I will happily support Jordan Fabrics.

  • @ladycrafts1885
    @ladycrafts1885 2 роки тому +1

    Donna is great at making complicated looking quilt patterns approachable and doable. I would not have chosen the pattern just looking at the pattern. However, Donna's choice of fabrics and her clear and simple instructions makes the process less daunting. Thank you Donna for keeping it simple and encouraging me to get outside my comfort zone. Love the quilt, especially the fabrics and the pieced borders.

    I laugh at myself today, after having found Donna and her videos! I made a queen quilt using ALL half square triangles and didn't know about sewing a quarter inch on both sides of the diagonal line! I ended up with enough 1/2 square triangles to make a wall hanging, 2 pillows and a table runner! Thank you Donna for setting me straight!

  • @suejeanheinz6809
    @suejeanheinz6809 2 роки тому +1

    Thanks Donna for keeping me outside my comfort zones. I think this helps me to be a better quilter.
    This video was one surprise after another! I wasn't excited with the pattern choice and even less excited about the jelly roll. I was horrified by the amount of waste and mentally shouted "NO WAY!" as fabric is far too expensive for that kind of trimming.
    However, as usual, Donna turns the whole quilt into something wonderful AND manages to eliminate some of the waste just by making simple changes. THEN, the final surprise is a very generous GIVEAWAY for some very lucky person. I wish them well!

It doesn’t matter what pattern you choose, your finished quilt is always beautiful.

    I love watching Donna. Ive learned so much from her and I appreciate how she takes time to explain the important details and she doesn’t recommend a new tool every time she makes a video. Ive purchased a lot of cozy quilt patterns from Jordan Fabrics and never saw one of their patterns that wasted a lot of fabric. Donna saved the pattern by finding a way to utilize all that waste which I’m glad of, because let’s face it, fabric is super expensive. Thanks Donna!

    First I want to live in your shipping department! Seeing all the colors would make my day.
    I tend to pick a pattern based on pre-cuts. I am not very experienced and despite my best efforts to be a careful cutter, I am not as accurate as I want. For me the pre-cuts take away a lot of that frustration. I have been watching Donna make quilts for awhile and have learned so much. Eventually I will tackle a more complicated project but right now I am very content to concentrate on making projects using pre-cuts. Thank you.

    Donna, I just love how your Rock Star quilt turned out. I really think deciding to 1) use the white-on-white material as the main background, 2) dividing the outside border in half and then inserting a patched strip made out of left over material into the middle of the outside border, and finally 3) choosing the very pretty backing and then inserting another strip of patched pieces from the quilt ... were all decision that were truly inspired. The orginal quilt pattern, jellyroll fabric, and the two solid backgroud fabric selected were vibrant and coordinated beautifully. I was, however, excited and and relieved that you brilliantly intervened with just the right colors, to give the eyes a place to rest in the process of taking in the intensity of colors in the solid borders and the printed stars so that each aspect could be appreciated for its individual beauty. Then, when I saw how you choose to create the pieced strips from the leftover printed fabric, and placed them on the outside border and also ingeniously inserted another pieced strip with the completely different softer print chosen as backing...I truly wanted to stand up a cheer. These choices showed how so many gorgeous fabrics in a dynamic design could be brought together in a balanced, cohesive and totally unique way. You really are a brilliant designer and a meticulous artist that creates truly beautiful quilted works of art. I was grateful when you took the time to show us how you had made the strips used on the front and back, and surprised that when the quilt was completed our quilting lesson was still upper most in your mind. I learned so much tonight and there were times when I was on the edge of my seat...feeling a tad tense hoping it would all work out. And, as always, you showed how easy intricate, detailed work can be accomplished while still
    being able to make the quilt realize its
    full potential. Donna, you are a Rock Star in the World of Quilting. I hope you
    keep this quilt for yourself to enjoy! I really do not know how you can give any of your beautiful quilts away. I believe we all feel the loving, generous, encouragement being given to all of your subscribers/students/patrons with each quilt you give. I am sure that each person who receives your gifted
    quilt cherishes your kindness and this beautiful work of art. Thank you for all
    you do to help bring such joyful creativity into our own lives and in this
    way help us follow your example and
    pass along the love that comes with every quilt, runner, pillow, frog, tree skirt...made. Sincerely, Anita
    P.S. I haven't forgot your husband Matt, your Son the photographer and all of the hard working Angels that are Jordan Fabrics. I am grateful to each of

As you were cutting the squares I thought what a waste of fabric and then you surprised me at the end. Perfect for those of us who hat to waste fabric. You and the crew do such a professional job that watching you is easy. It has and, I am sure in the future, will encourage me to try more with my quilting dreams.

    As others have stated, I wouldn’t have chosen this pattern due to the picture on the front. Once you made it with vibrant colors, I was sold. When deciding on a project, I do both. I see fabric I really love and may buy it, then pick a pattern. But I also see patterns I like (especially baby quilts) and then choose the fabric. Always love your videos and hope some day you will reopen the shop and I can visit. Thanks for all the great work.

Thank you Mat & Donna for such an awesome gift your sharing. Yes yes, the quilts , oh I'd adore one.

    I am super bad. My daughter is 28 and I still have saved fabrics from when she was a child and I've never made a quilt. I just watch Donna sew. I love all the quilts she makes!

    Donna, you are my favorite teacher!! I spend hours at work listening to/watching your videos. I think I have downloaded every single one of your free patterns by now. I mostly pick out patterns first, then fabric. And I definitely go for more bold and bright colors rather than traditional colors. On the other hand, I have a ton of jelly rolls and charm packs that I have no plan for yet, so it's definitely 50/50 for me 😅

    I do not normally like orange or yellow, but this quilt is gorgeous! Bright, happy and joyful.

      I'm the same way most of the time but, I've fell in love with the vintage looking quilts and most of them use the calico prints and they just don't look right without all the colors. You're right, they do look bright, happy and joyful, great description!

    I LOVE fabric! 🥰 so most of the time I find a pattern for that perfect fabric I fell in love with. This pattern is not one that I would have ever chosen to make from the pattern itself (I find this to be true frequently) but Donna does such a great job with colors and, like this pattern, improves on a design to make a fabulous finished quilt! Love the white, I think it makes the whole quilt pop! And the pieced borders are fantastic. Anything that can help cut down on waste or just scraps I hate to throw away. 😁

    Another beautiful quilt by Miss Donna! I’m glad you switched out the setting triangles for the white color. To me it really makes the blocks pop. This video’s give away is incredible! Thanks for the opportunity to try to win. So very kind and generous of you.

    A Rock Star Quilt from a Rock Star teacher! Thank you for all that you and your team do to make us better quilters. I love how you use up extra fabrics in borders and in the backing. I have started to do this also as a result of watching you - I am not a fan of wasting fabric. Keep the videos coming - I think I might have to retire earlier than I planned to get all of my planned quilts done!!

    As someone who has sewn since age seven, mostly on 1941 and 1960 Singers I appreciate that Donna can create such beauties without needing a sewing machine that’s like a spaceship! (But I must confess that I’m obsessed with Jenny Doan’s hydroplane style steam iron!)

    I love this quilt!!! I usually buy the fabric first, then the pattern . I found a lovely jelly roll and then bought the pattern. I really like the way Donna does her tutorials showing every step of the sewing and not saying, I have already done that ahead of time. Thanks Donna for such wonderful tutorials!

    Donna, I love the way you used those left over pieces for the border. It really pulled everything together nicely. I normally choose a fabric or precut that I like, and then have trouble figuring out what pattern to use! I'm just not very good at visualizing what fabric would look good in a particular pattern. After watching today's video I thought, "I wish I lived closer to your shop. I'm sure you would be a great help to me in putting things together." I love the way you walk us through the whole process. You are a great teacher and I love watching your videos. "Thank you" to you and Matt for being so generous in your giveaways.

    Beautiful colors in this quilt. Great size, too. I usually pick fabrics with no thought as to what I'm going to do with it. Then I see one of your videos and I'll go hunting for that one fabric. "I know it's in here somewhere." 😆

    I think watching Donna's tutorials makes me more efficient in terms of fabric purchase, because l get a sense of how much l'm going to need before l shop. Otherwise, it's fabric first and pattern second (which sometimes produces an "oops"). 😂

  • @nancycox3318
    @nancycox3318 2 роки тому +2

    Thanks for the great video and Generous giveaway! I love your choice of the white edges and the scrappy strip on the border and back. You asked which comes first with us, the fabric or pattern. It varies. Maybe half and half.

  • @terisparkman9814

    I've made projects both ways. Sometimes I already have the fabric, then look for an appropriate pattern. Other times I have a pattern I want to make, so I need to shop for the fabrics. I love how your quilt turned out. The blocks really pop!
    Thank you for such a generous giveaway! I love shopping at Jordan Fabrics!!
    Happy Quilting!

    I was shocked at the number of patterns you have in those file cabinets. I think I choose pattern first, and then I go to my stash to see if I can use something I already have. I was so excited tonight to find that you had posted a new quilt.

    I love Donna! I watch these videos even when I am up to my elbows in projects becuase they remind me to take a breath and just enjoy each little step. I have only been quilting for a couple years now and have so much to learn and Donna's videos were one of the first times I thought to myself that quilting was something I could do. She makes is look easy but in an honest and real way! I am so grateful for these videos! Donna really has a spectacular way of making the whole quilting process so much less overwhelming. Thank you!!!!

  • @tonijones7599
    @tonijones7599 2 роки тому +1

    I really like the cheerfulness of the fabric choice for this quilt. I usually purchase my fabric because I like the fabric, on occasion I purchase fabric with project in mind, so I purchase all the supplies at once. When I was just learning to quilt I was told to buy fabric that speaks to you so that's what I still do... there is a very loud conversation happening in my sewing room everyday!!! On this quilt I like the pieced border but I truly like how you used the extra pieces to make the accent stripe on the backing, I have wanted to attempt that as I hate to throw away leftover pieces or store them for a future project that I never get to do.

  • @lindaneal61
    @lindaneal61 2 роки тому +1

    I love when you use the scraps and put them in the quilt. I try to do that all the time now so I reduce my scrap pile. And nice to see you break out of your comfort zone with color.

    Fabric First Every time! Then choose a pattern based on how much time I want to invest , new skills, and how much I want to show off the fabric. Agreed with your thought process on this one! Would love more videos with you choosing fabric first and then pattern :)

    I love the golda and oranges in this beautiful quilt. This made a very colorful fall quilt. I usually choose my pattern first (then I go through my stash and may have to go out to buy more fabric to get the look I want). You are a Rock Star to me, Donna. You show us how to Roll through a quilt project much smoother; and, your colors really Rock. Thank you for this video.
