Orange was really pretty...loved the vibrancy.....BUT, my absolute favorite.....BLACK!! It really makes the colors pop!! I really enjoy watching, and learning, from your videos. I am a beginner, in fact, I am just finishing up my 3rd quilt. Never too old to learn....I just turned 70!
Please can you tell me how big are the blocks when you start the project, because I have material so I can cut it my self? I love the blue , but the black brings the colour all out!
My favorite background is the orange! It's got so much energy to donate to the look, and the blocks seem to jump off the background as a result. Thank you so much for all these wonderful quilts!
Hi Donna I am big fan of you isee every tutorials of you and try to make some thing I am from India I like you so much I wish to meet you I would like the orange back ground ❤️❤️❤️
I would have picked the orange too. The orange gives it a Caribbean look. Thanks for the pattern. I have these charms so off to the sewing room I go 😌.
Just made this with 10" squares cut from yardage instead of a charm pack and it is stunning! 4 batiks in the diamonds and black and gold batik for the background.
I love these UA-cam videos from Jordan fabric. They don’t skip a lot of steps and they teach you what to with leftover fabric. They get right to the point. Unlike most videos, there is usually No music before, during or after the videos. I let them play all night long and I don’t have worry about loud music and sounds at the beginning of each new video waking up my husband. Well, there are the commercials, but I skip them ASAP.
I also love the fact that she doesn't try to be a celeb like so many others on here. As you say, they have to do all their cutesy self-promotion for the first ten minutes, then rush through the instructions. I'm too old to enjoy antics. Donna has the experience, too, which many up-and-comers lack. I look forward to each new video from her, and often recommend her to my friends who prefer substance to giggles and vapor.
$11.99 per month and you will never get a commercial again. I absolutely love UA-cam premium. I personally watch more UA-cam than cable TV. It’s my “budget” for my entertainment. Love Donna too!
The orange background said “kid’s quilt” to me, but thought black was best. The blue seemed “eh” to me. Wonderful that you explained how to calculate setting, corner and side setting pieces! You’re a fantastic teacher.
I liked the bright orange! I like bright colors (my wife, not so much). I love Donna and Matt’s videos! I’ve learned so much from watching about new ideas!
What a great tutorial Donna! I especially thank you for showing how to measure background, sides, and corners. The Mix & MATCH QUILT Is fabulous! That black background really stood out to me as one of your brightest quilts yet! It just popped! Thank you for for the best tutorials! You're amazing! This West Texas gal is learning so much from you! P.S. Love your nails! You have such pretty hands and your nails are painted to compliment the quilt colors! Keep up the good work! You and Matt are making such a difference to so many through your work!! God bless y'all!
I would have chosen the blue background but the black is stunning! I love how you show quilts in different fabric options. It’s amazing how different they look.
I immediately thought blue, when she pulled out the bolts. But they all were pretty. And not having a background gave the secondary design which was really cool
You are very good at explaining. You know I was in very deep depression. I would not eat or sleep. I would not even bathe. Some time I would read my Bible on phone. Some how I stumbled over your page. I started watching. All those colors and your voice and the way you bring out those beautiful patterns out of something so plane, it made me think how God could take my plane life and give it to him, he would make it so wonderful. I started watching and slowly came out out of depression. I can’t make any thing because I don’t have any material or machine. But I watch you on and on and enjoy your creation of new patterns. Thank you Donna. I even tell my friends to watch. My desire is to gather some women in the same situation and help them to come out someday. God bless you.
I immediately thought “black” when you were holding the bolts but after you laid them out I was surprised to see that orange was so beautiful with the blocks! Orange it is!
So for me, I really jived with the light blue batik print! I thought Donna would pick that one because she came alive when talking about it and how pleasantly surprised she was with how it set off the blocks. She had me convinced! And I thought she would go that way. I almost turned off the video when she went with the black. Boo hoo! 😣🙃
Black background makes each block into a jewel, well displayed. I will definitely download this for future use! What a wonderful video, thank you! This one will be so much fun!
I love this pattern and the bright colors you have used. As far as the background goes, I would choose either the orange or black. It probably would depend on who would be receiving the quilt. Thank you for this free pattern!!
Deborah, there are also lots of free charts available on the internet which list both the setting triangles (i.e. the ones down the sides) and the corner triangles, for quilt block sizes from small to large -- usually in increments of 1/4", so it will cover any size blocks that you'd like to put on point. The math has already been done for you!
I like the blue. But the black makes the patchwork pop more. It was really interesting to see the process you go through to pick out the background for your projects.
Pretty new, less than 6 months at quilting. I love the tricks and tips! I belive I've found my next quilt pattern to do. I'll make sure to send a picture when it's done 😊
This is gorgeous. I so appreciate you explaining set in triangle math. And absolutely adore the table runner. Love the bright yellow 'bubbles' quilting... Just perfect! Thank you so much for this one! 🌸
It was great to see you use something other than a light background... the black really makes the colors pop! I make quilts to use, and light colors stain so easily with kids and pets, lol.
I love them all but wow does it change the effectiveness of the patchwork. I think I like the blue pattern one. Lovely tutorial as always. Thank you Donna
Hi Donna-Love the quilt but I'm into table runners right now. Was waiting for you to talk about the table runner pictured. Love all of your videos and all that you teach us everyday-you are the best. Pat Wahl
Finally, those side and corner triangles explained! Thank you! I love the quilt and have planned on making something similar for a long time - so thank you for the free pattern, too! 🥰
Wouldn't it be fun to hang out at the quilt shop with Donna as she doès a tutorial!
She is so talented.
I like them all but lean a bit towards the blue. Thanks for your tutorials; I learn so much from you and love all your quilts.
I would never leave- have food delivered!!!
@@gerrimcleod5217 I agree with your comment, 100%!
Yes that is a dream of mine every time we drive through Grant's Pass
I would love to sit and sew with her for a weekend.
My first choice would be black but that orange was very cool 😎
I would be the light blue - love it ⭐️
I love the orange background. The brighter the better was my grandmother’s guidance
Orange and black were my favourite backgrounds. You will notice that I put an extra "u" in favourite... Hello from Canada! Love you Donna!
I have learned so much from Donna. If she lived in my town, I’d make her be my best friend.
Me too Rhonda.
She would be my best friend!!!! 😍😍😍
I was thinking the same thing! Lol
Ditto. I would love to trek across the country and meet her and go to their shop!
@Rhonda M. Well, then I think YOU could be MY best friend if we lived in the same town! 😄
I would do the orange, and I don't even like orange 😁 but that was very beautyful. 😊
the orange and black each made the patches show up more. if I had my wish it would be to spend a day watching Donna work
Orange was really pretty...loved the vibrancy.....BUT, my absolute favorite.....BLACK!! It really makes the colors pop!! I really enjoy watching, and learning, from your videos. I am a beginner, in fact, I am just finishing up my 3rd quilt. Never too old to learn....I just turned 70!
The orange background would make an absolutely stunning quilt but the black is more calming and makes all the colors shine.
Orange for me too. It was so vibrant.
Love the orange! Makes it look very Mexican for some reason. Beautiful in all colour ways, but def orange for me☺️Thanks Donna 💕🇦🇺
Hello from Geraldton Western Australia
Очень интересно
I like the orange as well!!
Black, definitely! The patchwork looks like jewels.
You, our dear Donna, are a TREASURE!!
I would’ve definitely picked the black background also. Really makes those blocks pop.
Definitely the best choice. The orange was a close second!
The black adds pop to the bright colors
Black looks the best!
Please can you tell me how big are the blocks when you start the project, because I have material so I can cut it my self?
I love the blue , but the black brings the colour all out!
@@antoinettefarrugia6820 Donna uses charm squares. Those are 5 inches.
The orange is so cheery and bright. Very blended, too.
Black is my favorite! Those vibrant colors show their personality with the background. 😊
Black is what I would pick. The blocks are beautiful.
I loved the orange option and I think yellow would have been pretty too!! Those warm tones just bring some sunshine and cheer.
It’s been a long cold spring, so the orange really made me smile and feel summer hope. They are all beautiful.
I would pick the orange
I like the orange background. I bet variegated thread would be pretty.
I enjoy your tutorials. thank you❤
I love the Orange its just so bright and cheerful.x
I love the orange. What a beautiful quilt. Yummmmm
My favorite background is the orange! It's got so much energy to donate to the look, and the blocks seem to jump off the background as a result. Thank you so much for all these wonderful quilts!

I liked the orange
I like both the blue and the black backgrounds.
Hi, Donna, I would do the blue, because it makes the busy blocks settle down. I like a quilt to be calm.👍🥰
Orange background was my favorite with the blue thread for quilting. Great job on both teaching and quilt designing.
Love the look of the turquoise background. Also like the black.
Wooooooh! Turquoise would would be a stunner!

Just made this with 10" squares cut from yardage instead of a charm pack and it is stunning! 4 batiks in the diamonds and black and gold batik for the background.
I really like the blue!! Whatever you decide to use I'm sure will look lovely .

@@lucygray6162 Yes. There is nothing that is fake looking or sounding about her.
@@TerriRomano I think the more people that they get to pay for these services the more likely the free services will go away.
I agree
I think I would go with the blue background. It's again a super nice quilt. Thanks Donna.
Love the black
Always tasteful..thank you Donna
Donna, you make me fall in love with quilting every time.
The orange background said “kid’s quilt” to me, but thought black was best. The blue seemed “eh” to me.
Wonderful that you explained how to calculate setting, corner and side setting pieces! You’re a fantastic teacher.
I don't know why, but i'm really partial to the blue background, but all are so pretty!
I live the Orange background. Thank' s for All your Videos.
I liked the bright orange! I like bright colors (my wife, not so much). I love Donna and Matt’s videos! I’ve learned so much from watching about new ideas!
So pleased you picked the black background. This is a lovely cheerful pattern. I wonder how it would look with Kaffe Fasset fabrics.
Was wondering the same thing. I have some many of his charm packets.....I think they will look as beautiful!
I think it’d look sumptuous
But...the black looks like a velvet setting for the jewel tone squares...love it!
I really like the black the best. The colors are so vibrant next to black.
What a great tutorial Donna! I especially thank you for showing how to measure background, sides, and corners. The Mix & MATCH QUILT Is fabulous! That black background really stood out to me as one of your brightest quilts yet! It just popped! Thank you for for the best tutorials! You're amazing!

Love the orange or black…love the bright contrasts.
Yes, the black looks so pretty!
Love that orange!!! Thanks for the pattern, I hope to use it someday.
Its avery beautiful and colourful quilt Donna...I love both the orange and black.
Black, by all means!
I love how the Black brings out the colors...

Black is beautiful! That's my choice!

My daughter and I were loudly voting for black at the TV screen just now. And we’re so happy to see this was your pick, too! 😊
I would have chosen black. I love the colors of this one, my favorite so far👍 I find these videos so relaxing to watch😊
I love the calming cool blue background.💖What a great pattern! Thank you!
I'm going to play odd man out and suggest a nice gray! Lovely pattern...Thank you Donna Jordan!!
I love grey
I’m a lover of blues BUT the black is stunning, I choose Black😻
I love this pattern and the bright colors you have used. As far as the background goes, I would choose either the orange or black. It probably would depend on who would be receiving the quilt. Thank you for this free pattern!!
I really like the pattern on the blue, I'm not a black background person. Just love the colors on the blocks.
Black background for me too. But I REALLY appreciate the formula for the triangles. Thank you!
Deborah, there are also lots of free charts available on the internet which list both the setting triangles (i.e. the ones down the sides) and the corner triangles, for quilt block sizes from small to large -- usually in increments of 1/4", so it will cover any size blocks that you'd like to put on point. The math has already been done for you!
I think the colors you picked were great attracted to the orange background for some reason it was so bright and pretty
Love Robert Kaufman! Beautiful as always
You are always an awesome instructor with a soft voice . I wish there was more showing how you do your quilting. Thank you so much
I like the blue. But the black makes the patchwork pop more. It was really interesting to see the process you go through to pick out the background for your projects.
I like black the best. It shows off all the colors so well
I like the black. I love using black for my quilts.
I have a random set of three charm packs that have been sitting around forever! Now I know what to do with them 😊
I too, love the Orange. It’s so bright and cheerful and quite unique.😉
I really like the black, I would have chosen that as well. Great hints on piecing and placement of squares.
Pretty new, less than 6 months at quilting. I love the tricks and tips! I belive I've found my next quilt pattern to do. I'll make sure to send a picture when it's done 😊
I've started 😊
This is gorgeous. I so appreciate you explaining set in triangle math. And absolutely adore the table runner. Love the bright yellow 'bubbles' quilting... Just perfect! Thank you so much for this one! 🌸
The blue since it's so bright !!
Your tutorials are amazing, easy to understand. Your quilts are just stunning. Thank you.
My immediate background thought was also black, but was surprised that I liked the subtle blue as well.
It was great to see you use something other than a light background... the black really makes the colors pop! I make quilts to use, and light colors stain so easily with kids and pets, lol.
That is an excellent point to consider
I like the Black and the Orange . Beautiful
I really like the blue. I think this would be a very fun quilt to make.
The blue leafy fabric is my pick for background. It seems soothing.
I was Team Black before you laid out the samples, but loved the orange background when I saw it!
Black Looks The Best💜
I love the black and the orange background would be pretty as well. Hugs 🤗 from North Carolina ❤️🥰🤗
I also would use the black. All those bright colors look so pretty with it!
I love them all but wow does it change the effectiveness of the patchwork. I think I like the blue pattern one. Lovely tutorial as always. Thank you Donna
Hi Donna-Love the quilt but I'm into table runners right now. Was waiting for you to talk about the table runner pictured. Love all of your videos and all that you teach us everyday-you are the best. Pat Wahl
Normally I would choose the black which is my go to, but this time, I would go with the white. What a surprise!
Hi Donna I like all your Beautiful Quality you make and how you show how to make them thank you again always Rose M
I love the blue one, I’ve just started quilting and your patterns and tutorials are amazing. Thank you so much Donna for sharing your talent.
Finally, those side and corner triangles explained! Thank you! I love the quilt and have planned on making something similar for a long time - so thank you for the free pattern, too! 🥰
I like the blue and the orange is fantastic too!
the black one it's very nice.Thank you for the great pattern
I love watching your tutorials!! You’ve taught me so much, and I really like your bright colors💕♥️💕
I would use the black. It makes it really pop!!! Love the contrast!!!
I prefer th black. I really enjoy your tutorials I have learned so much in just a short time
Me encanta en negro, me gustan mucho los videos de Jordan fabrics. Gracias por compartir .❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗😘
I would actually use the orange background. It was bright, cheery and VERY colorful! Love your quilts!!
Love the orange background with those bright colours!
I like the orange background 😊
Like the light blue fabric...but the black is also stunning
No background for me. I really like a kaleidoscope effect of just the blocks put together. 🙂
How do you plan on connecting the blocks to make it a 'quilt'?
@@rakellpetrini5184 Hi! I guess I would make double number of blocks and sew them together like Donna showed at 10:18 followed by borders.
AMEN..my choice as well..but one day will make one with the squares..🇨🇦
The blue background is most appealing to me. Love your videos! I'm finishing up your Jewel Box pattern with a
black background now.
Orange is my first choice for background. Then Black, Blue print, and white as a last resort.
