Quilt Making Fun at Jordan Fabrics - BELLAGIO Tutorial! 

I am 73 and have never tried patchwork before I wanted to learn because I have 2 great grand children to sew for now like you I found Jordan fabric's and I am on my third quilt very clear and easy to understand I just love this site .

I love it when you show a nice-sized quilt that doesn't use up an entire jelly roll ... so I could make one for myself, and a matching one for a friend, with maybe one having a light-coloured background using the darker strips in a roll, and the other having dark-coloured background using the lighter jelly roll strips, to ensure good contrast so the lovely pattern really "pops". Thank you, Donna!! ~Diana K.

The sound of the rotary cutter when you are sub cutting the fabrics would be soothing to fall asleep to. : ) Love the brights in this quilt, nice.

Gorgeous. Always gorgeous. Donna deserves awards for her contributions to the art and craft of quilting. Such incredible patience and consistent quality. The videos are wonderful too. They’re like a science to watch. 👏🏻 🥇

Please note that my quilt does not follow the pattern exactly. All the blocks are made correctly, but I turned some of my blocks a different way than what is shown on the pattern. Just goes to show you that even experienced quilters can still have trouble following a pattern! - Donna

A joy to watch cloth become an heirloom. Beautifully done. Thank you.

Cozy Quilt patterns have become one of my favorites. They are easy to follow and give great instructions.

Thank you Donna for your excellent teaching. I have found that your finger pressing and ironing instructions have made all of my patchwork turn out so much better. Thus when I put on the borders and then on the long arm it is a breeze to square it to be quilted. You do beautiful work!

So happy to see another video from you.

What a beautiful pattern 😍Love it. Looks like an oriental rug.👏👏💐

Another great quilt. Patterns look very difficult, but indeed, Daniella Stout has creating patterns that look difficult, but are easy to make, with the necessary dedication and attention of course!

What a lovely bright easy quilt! Thanks for showing us!

What a difference fabrics make! They look like completely different patterns. Beautiful as always! Those runners are striking! Especially the green RK & green/violet Anthology. They have my favorite leaf batiks, & in such bright colors! What beautiful runners you & Matt create! Thank you for all you share. Have a wonderful week.

Beautiful! Love it in solids❤️

Always love to see you in action Donna..

That is beautiful Donna

It's amazing how changing the colors makes a completely different quilt! Thank you for your very clear tutorials.

Thank You . Your amazing videos help me understand the process of making beautiful quilt blocks.

It was beautiful!

this was fun ! look forward to a new tutorial every week!

I've been considering that pattern for a while. It was great seeing you pick the fabric and put it together.

Putting the accent around the nine patch gave this quilt a different look. I like it!

Beautiful as always

Great Tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to greet me when I was in your store in July. Love your methods and tutorials.

Missed your tutorials... very pretty quilt... thank you

Marvelous

This is so interesting to look at. I love the color and patterns. Thanks for sharing.

Oh my goodness !!! That is beautiful !! You did an awesome job as always and the colors you chose really complement each other.

Oh wow this is so beautiful! I have never made a quilt and probably never will but I do love watching this so I am getting ready for a proper quilting video marathon!

once again you nailed another one!!! kittybug

Beautiful quilt. Love your tutorials!

I made it! It turned out great! Your tutorial really helped.

Amazing how the pattern changes once all the blocks are sewn together :)

I saw this pattern presented by Daniela Stout of Cozy Quilt Designs about a month ago and really loved it. Its really awesome how you break each step down so simply. Thanks for another great tutorial!

Me moriría, por estar allá, viendo tantas telas ,tan hermosas y tolo para trabajar ,retazos Te admiro mucho ,

Bellagio is a village on Lake Como, Italy (they say 'the Pearl of the lake', meh...) Anyway, we pronounce it bellajo with the english j and not the french one (John, jelly, just) Thanks for the wonderful quilts Donna, you have the magic.

Love this pattern ! You give great instructions, so easy to follow what you are doing . I can see this in purples and blues ....maybe ,...?!

Beautiful

Donna, I am 76 years old and never had anyone to teach me to piece a quilt. Most of the information I found was too complicated. THEN I FOUND YOU! You make everything look possible. THANK YOU! You are a real blessing to me. I would believe I am not the only one who feels that way! May God Bless you!

I need to stop watching so much, and start sewing more!

OMGosh.. That turned out AMAZING! 💗 Of course every quilt I've seen on here is just beautiful! You're making me think I might be able to do this!👍

Love it! Great color choices

the pattern has the black outlining the solid squares resulting in mini floating diamonds. interesting 2 looks.

Oooooo LOVELY, tfs 👍. 🐢

I’m trying to imagine this pattern in shades of sea foam greens, blues, grays and cream. Any thoughts?

Todo me gusta😃😃

Спасибо! Ваш вариант исполнения схемы мне понравился больше. И показывайте процесс стежки на long arm подольше, пожалуйста, это завораживает...

Donna, have purchased this pattern. Your quilt while quite beautiful has the accent color against the nine patch block while the pattern has it against what I call the square donut patch. Took me some time to figure out what was different from the pattern, think you created your own version. Wonder how many versions we could come up with ?

Love the quilt, your way is just great. I also like the quilting pattern you chose. Whose design is that, I would like to find that one.

What machine did you use to do the spiral quilting?

Make another!

Hermoso

Donna, thanks to you I now have fingernails and much nicer blocks.

Bagus bangat karya mba ini, jadi pengen bisa..

What kind of iron do you use?

Do u sell the quilts

Will you please stop making all these wonderful quilts I want to make them all.😀👍

Beautiful

Another incredible tutorial! Thank you, Donna!! I just wrote you an email about 2 weeks ago requesting you do this Bellagio pattern and you wrote back saying you would. I'm so glad you did! The colors you chose are fantastic! I have to do this pattern. It's so beautiful! Side Note: I was starting to go through Jordan Fabrics video withdrawals!! LOL. So glad you're back and back at it....oh wait, it's only been a week and a half since your last video 😂😂

Beautiful

I am always interested to see your manicure! Always such interesting colors.

(1) SHOUT OUT to Daniels Stout for such a beautiful quilt patterns and the STRIP TUBE RULER!!!! (2) It’s like Christmas 🎄 in July with another WONderful, FABulous, PROfessional TEACHING video from DONNA!!! (3) THANK YOU DONNA I was hoping you would make a video of the Bellagio quilt pattern. You are an EXcellenté teacher 👩‍🏫!

Donna, this is beautiful and Thank You for always giving us such great tips as you explain how to do the pattern, stitching and ironing.

You made my day. Thank you. Very satisfying. Greetings from Amsterdam where it’s “really, really flat.”

Perfect as always!! I, too, get excited when I see you’ve posted another tutorial. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Yay!!! Another video!!! I look forward to your videos every week, after a long day at work I settle down and relax and watch you make the most beautiful quilt! Your a true master, thanks you, I hope one day I can make quilts as magnificent as yours

I noticed that the quilt is incorrect. If you notice the pattern, the 9 patch is not the block that should be surrounded by the black fabric. Did anyone else see this? Still pretty, just not the pattern.

Love your tutorials. So helpful in learning to be a quilt maker. Cozy has a pattern called Ensemble I would love to see you do if you get a chance. Also would live to see a Kaleidoscope quilt with your special touches to make it not only beautiful but 'simplified' technique wise.

Beautiful Donna. What a wonderful job you do explaining every step. I love how you teach like this is the first video anyone has seen because there are some people just finding your channel. Keep up the awesome work!

Oh wow!!!!! That came out so nice. The pattern looks complicated but really it's not. I'm loving this new hobby of Quilting. Love your videos. I'm watching them over and over again.

I get so excited every time you post a new tutorial. As usual, it was excellent!

Suggestion. Choose several patterns, and do a vote... for which of the 3 patterns that the viewers would like to see you make. That would be fun, you can do an i-card vote on your next video and people can vote. Then you can make that quilt for a future video. OR, you could choose a pattern and offer a vote on 3 colorways and let us vote on a colorway. How fun would that be.

So happy you're back with another tutorial! I just love them! You made such a beautiful quilt, I've been wanting to make a quilt with bright solid colors and this looks like a fun pattern! Your giveaways are so beautiful too! Thanks so much Donna!!

Yours looks so different from the one pictured on the pattern. I had to look a long time to figure it out. On the pattern I see the illusion of circles/rings in places, but no matter how I look I don’t see that on yours. Then it hit me: it is the direction you placed the blocks with the black strips..you have the black touching the nine-patch blocks rather than the other. Really totally changes the look of the quilt. It would be interesting to see the quilt done up in the same fabrics but the blocks oriented the same as in the pattern picture....

i just love, love your quilts but wish you would make more, more tutorials. Lol. I can't get enough of your videos. I have learned so much. I am 56 years old & I am disabled & I am finally getting a area big enough in my trailer to finally do some major quilting. I had to get two rooms opened up into one big room in order for me to quilt as a hobby. That is what i love to do but i never had enough room in order to make bigger quilts. I use to be an over the road truck driver with my Husband. I got sick in 2011 with breast cancer & other complications so that caused me to have way too much down time. So, in those years up till now. I taught myself how to quilt with yours & also with Jenny from missouri star quilt videos helped me along the way. I have two girls with 3 grandkids & i made my grandkids a quilt with there names & birthday on them. I actually have a sewing machine that embroiders. I just love to hear your videos in the very beginning when you say, hi I am Donna Jordan from Jordan Fabrics. If somehow i miss you say that when i play your videos, that i would have to rewind the video to the very beginning of the tape just to hear you say that.. Why? I don't know! haha,. It's funny that i have to hear you say that. It would make my day if somehow I could meet you & Jenny! I know that would be impossible because i live in Kentucky & i can't get around like i did before. There was one cozy quilts pattern that you made that I had to buy. So, i did & it is kinda Ironic because to this day, I still have not made that quilt yet. But, I will, soon as i build this space so i can!! I just wanted to say a few words to tell you how much i love your videos & please don't stop!! I will be buying some material from you soon. I know i could get my materials closer to home. But, i just wanted to show you how much i appreciate you taking the time to show people like me how to put a quilt together by purchasing some items from you. *Just saying* = I miss seeing your husband in some of your videos. Have some more tutorials with your husband in them. He sounds like he is a great help to you. haha. Well, I hope you all have a great life & success for years to come! God bless you all.

Once again a great tip filled tutorial 💖 The tip for finger pressing has helped my construction so much! Always start the day extra happy when I see you've posted a new video 🤗.

Yay!! You're back!! 🥰

So very happyDonna you posted a new video. Beautiful pattern. Always so impressed . Thank you.

Donna, I love your videos! When you assembled this quilt, you inadvertently created a new design by orienting the blocks with the black strips differently than the Cozy Quilts layout. This could be called Bellagio II !

I really wish I could use a layer cake for this one. I have the perfect one for it but not a jelly roll. That's one thing about Cozy Quilt Designs patterns is they're almost all made for strip sets and I just don't bother buying those.

I hope you show quilting ASMR, it's so satisfying and peaceful to watch

Love your videos!! I know it's a whole lot of work for you and the team. Keep 'em coming! You're an inspiration to many quilters. ❤️

Donna, I've watched this Bellagio tutorial 4 times now because it is so beautiful and I can't get enough of the colorway you chose! Do you have kits available? I just ordered from y'all the other day too. Also, please tell me about your nails! What kind of design is that on your nails? I've never seen it before and they're always so beautiful! I'm a huge fan. Thanks for all the incredible tutorials!!

Такая невероятная женщина!!!Долгих лет жизни😗😗😗👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤

Fabulous! Thanks so much for your expertise and for sharing. You make it look so easy.

I love your tutorials!

Do you ever get tired of hearing how awesome you? You are so awesome with your tutorials and I mean it. You make it so easy to follow. I'm like Diana below, I get so excited when I receive notice of a new tutorial.

OMG Donna, I had to re -watch this several times to see the difference in the layout. I finally caught it in the secondary pop. Danielle's shows a circle and yours shows a square. Both are great; the square with the same background is a bit more on the modern look and the circle with slightly darker set in triangle would be really fab in say Kansas Trouble fabrics... Let's make that one this year. lol

Спасибо!обожаю ваши работы!супер понятно и хочется тоже воплощать

As usual, a very 'comforting tutorial', I always feel like we are just friends chatting about a quilt. I couldn't help noticing the change from the pattern, which in itself is a plus option! The black lines go around the solids on the pattern whereas they go around the 9 patch squares in your quilt. So this lovely pattern can go two ways with two very different looking designs!

I have a little game I like to play when I watch your videos. It’s called- which color thread will she pick? Love your videos. I’ve made several. Working on the urban cottage right now. I’ve also done Jacobs ladder, the 5 star quilt, and I’m quilting the hanging lanterns one for my aunt.

Your variation on the pattern looks great. The original has a more formal look with the black stripes surrounding the single coloured (with inner background) block, but your variation adds a lot of fun with the black stripe framing the nine patch, which I think really suits the playfulness of the colour scheme. I always look forward to your videos, and can’t wait for the next one!

Donna I didn't notice it at first but the blocks on the packaged image of the quilt shows them in different placements then how you laid yours out for 2 distinctive looks. The solid squared blocks have the black around them and the 9 patch looking one is where you put your solid ones. Talk about double takes. Nicely done!! Love your videos!!

Donna is there any reason your bellagio quilt come out different than the pattern trying to go figure out mine matched yours but looking back at the episode me following your tutorial and looking back we put the dark stripped around wrong block.

It looks ridiculously hard but you make it look so easy. Got the pattern so I’m going to watch your video and read the pattern to see if I can follow

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Hope you are feeling well and staying safe.

eu estou muito feliz de ter te conhecido através dessa tela tu és muito amiga simpática e agradável de apreende o que tu nos ensina

M encanto y muy bien la explicacion....gracias

Another beautiful quilt with easy instructions! Thank You!

Your video for this quilt came out today and in the mail I just got the pattern what timing was that! Can’t wait to make. Love Cozy Quilt patterns. Thanks Donna for the video ❤️
