I love your mat, the block sizes are so distinct and easy to see. Now your tutorial excellent no fancy quilting language and just straight up and direct. I have a jelly roll that is calling this to be made. Thank you again for your great and super easy to follow tutorial.💓

Thank you!!! I love this quilt and have wanted to make one - and I am a seasoned quilter! - but didn't realize the simplicity of the process. I am starting a baby quilt TONIGHT for a new little Texan, born yesterday, with this pattern. And whoever didn't like this site and posted a thumbs down, get some help.

I use left and right 45°angles, cut in pairs "R" sides together. I don't use a starting square, I partial seam the cut off top bits onto the base. All the angles go to the outside, which gives you straight edges. No waste.

This is the coolest use for a jelly roll I’ve seen!

I saw one tutorial with a 2.5” to start, then a 4.5” then a 6.5”. Alternating the 4.5” with the 6.5”. So I’m trying that first. If it fails, my dog will get that one, to be honest he’s getting it no matter how it turns out! He will love it. Thanks for your ideas guys!

I loved your tutorial! The "Braid" quilt is one of my favorites, and your choice of fabrics and colors was awesome!!! I can't wait to make this quilt someday! By the way, Brody, you did a fantastic job teaching us all how to make this quilt. Keep up the good work! I will look forward to seeing more of your tutorials in the near future.

I'm a fairly new quilter and I can't express just how much I appreciated the way you explained this quilt. I've seen the pattern but have been afraid to try it because it looked complicated. Thank you so much for showing just how easy it is and I can't wait to make one!

Thank you for sharing this with us . This is very cute and easy. Great demonstration and explanation. 😊

I love seeing men doing things like sewing. This is real masculinity

I love this pattern. I am going to make a table runner with this pattern.

Great video instructions! I had a jelly roll in my stash and in 2 days the quilt top was done!!! Thank you!

I really love this quilt. I love how easily and quickly it goes together. You did a great job with the tutorial.

Thank you thank you for this video. I'm a new quilter and have been needing to make a quilt for one of my grown up grandsons ... all in black and white (geometrical patterns). It has been daunting trying to find a pattern that I thought I could actually accomplish and I think this will do it. In fact, I have almost finished a row. So excited.

Have been wanting to make a French Braid quilt for a long time. Your video tutorial shows just how easy they are to put together. I will make one in Christmas fabrics today and hope it turns out as nice as your did.

This will be great in so many different colors - possibilities are endless!

great way to use scraps , on my to do list , thanks for sharing 👍🇦🇺

Thank you so much! The best short and sweet instructional video for chevron! Got your channel via The Quilting Marine :)

Great quilts! Please show a closer look at the quilting next time. Some of us need help on deciding what pattern to quilt on it!! Thank you 😁

Love love ❤️ love this quilt and was lucky enough to get the kit!

Thank you! Great instructions. I had a jelly roll in my stash and always wanted to make a braided quilt. You made it quick and easy a after 2 days I had the top done!!

Omg , I have been looking for this so I could make a placemat. Thank you for the easy to understand instructions

Odd that RU-vid suggested this to me tonight. I’m not a quilter! I have made three quilts though in the past 6 years. When a friend told me she was making a mask scraps quilt and then said mine scraps were too small I decided I would make a mask scraps quilt. I cut all the 2.5” x 6” pieces I could. Then started making blocks from my smallest blocks. I only finished 5 - 8” squares before I stared back to college. Nontraditional student. So today I started making the braid from those 2.5” x 6” pieces. Thank you for the review.

Sew Yeah rocks!

Love your simple instructions

Nice work!! Thanks for the excellent tutorial - brief and complete!!

I loved the video and gave it a try today. It was beautiful. I just need to sandwich it and quilt it. Thanks!

So beautiful.. those colors are amazing together..

Thank you for the tutorial!!!

Love the colors of the quilt.

Love both quilts. I have never sewn with the bulk of the fabric on the right, it seems to work for you.

Great to see, very helpful

Great minds think alike! I’m in the process of making a braid border. And I’m using fabrics I bought from Sew Year. I’ll post a pic on Instagram tomorrow.

Very nice training video, thanks for sharing!!

Great video on how to make this quilt. Thank you

Like it. Looks so easy and fun to make. Will try it. Sandra B.

Thank You That Will be I will be Doing!!

I never cut my chevron until I have the sashing sewed on. Where he cuts I mark & sew sashing on because all those side pieces r on the buas

Very helpful tutorial

Nice! Also looks easy to do.

Ek number brother

Very nice!

It was interesting to watch you sew the 6" strips together: you always put the newest strip on top. That meant that every other strip you were using the left side of your presser foot as a guide and the excess fabric was in the throat plate area. I probably would have flipped my piece over so that the newest strip to be added was on the bottom and I could continue to use the right side of my presser foot as my guide. I assume you choose to leave the newest strip to be added on top? Any special reason for that? Thanks! I love making braid borders!

😃😃😃

Меня завораживают Ваши уроки! Супер!

It's like a half log cabin. Have some strips ready to do this.

Just super😀🇵🇱

How do you keep it from veering? For some reason when I sew braids, I tend to veer off course over time.

Thank you for this easy to follow video. Loving the way it's turning out but my first braided row is measuring 7 1/2" wide after drawing my trim line but the pattern said it should measure 6 1/2". I''ve double checked the pattern and I'm using 6.5" pieces and 1/4" seams. An inch wider is quite a bit so I don't want to keep making some kind of mistake on subsequent rows. Any ideas?

Thank you! I have been wondering how to do that. Can you tell me how wide each section is?

i love this but i did notice you changed the starting square

Buen día gracias por compartir sus proyectos bendiciones un favor cuando puedas con partir el tutorial de laberinto mgtaria mirarlo gracias bendiciones para todos 🙏 desde Colombiaa

I want to make a baby quilt. 30 - 45 W x 40 - 55 L. How many jelly roll strips would i need?

Great pattern….which way do you press seams?

Is each rectangle strip comprised of 48 different strips? Your directions say to use 48 strips. Thank you.

This was the quilt that Kim made during the contest.

Did you cut the second set at 7’? I try to really focus in on details, it’s how I learn

What is the name of the jelly roll you're using in the tutorial. It is beautiful I would love to purchase.

Looks great. Try to speak a bit slower for us old folks who are a bit hard of hearing. When you slow down it’s easier for me to understand. Thank you 😊

😘

I would like to quilt each row to the batting and backing. It will be queen size. Is there a way to manage this on my sewing machine ?

do you have a link to that rotary cutter?? :)

Do you iron the strip before you trim ?

Me encanto su proyecto, pero x problemas de idioma no se cual es la medida de las tiras. Felicidades, saludos desde mexico

I’m wondering if this will work as a quilt as you go method.

how many 6" strips are in each row?

Does it take both jelly rolls for the size you made?

I found a whole four pieces back how would you fix it? Help.

What kind of rotary cutter are you using? Thanks

How wide is the strip after it is trimmed?

Do you back stitch your seams?

What brand of rotary cutter are you using?

💖💖💖💖👏👏👏

So, what size is this quilt?

Thought the 'French' part was the 2.5 square on the right side strop??? Through the center there should be 2.5 Sq. Making a Braid. Like a girls hair !! Could someone comment !!??

i don't like patterns that waste fabric...I would rather do the 3 Dudes Quilt pattern with a jelly roll...no waste, and you use the whole thing...no cutting off fabric.

simple for a beginner and I watched all the way through but very disappointed that there was nothing about the sashing or finishing. 😞
