    Donna, this is a fun tutorial. I love that you brought the viewer in and walked us through the process of picking a background fabric. All of those backgrounds worked. My preference is the bright yellow. The black background fabric worked beautifully with the color of the quilting thread. As always, thank you for sharing these wonderful tutorials and free patterns.

    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.

      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

    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

    I would love to do the orange background for a younger teenage boy! It’s such a different choice from the usual blue or gray for a young man.

    I like black the best. It shows off all the colors so well
