Cute quilt and a great way to use up those jelly roll strips you have left over. If you find that the strip with corner stones is a little loose in between the corner stones, when sewing on put that strip on the bottom and the dog feeds will take up that little slack.

That's a great tip, thank you so much for sharing that with us! - Morgan

I belong to a group of 26 people and this year we are learning to make patchwork quilts from a tutor, but i just love watching Shabby Fabrics for tips, we are also going to try the patchwork zip pouch first, love it.

That sounds like it's going to be so much fun! The patchwork pouch will be a great group project! Let us know how it goes and if you have any questions. - Morgan

I have never made a quilt before but want to start quilting now that I'm retired. This looks so simple that even a newbie like me should be able to make it. Thanks for your clear instructions. Just discovered your channel a few weeks ago; it's very inspiring!

Oh man I wish I had viewed this a year ago when as a beginner I made a Bargello! Yikes! Finished it and my grandson loves it and will never care that a lot of those points aren't perfect. Your tip about pinning first where it counts and working and pinning the rest in between later would have saved me some angst, haha...now that I know I will make another one! Thank you!

@ShabbyFabrics 5 лет назад

We've all made quilts that aren't perfect, and that's okay! As you said, your grandson doesn't care, he just loves the gift made especially for him!

@sharonpeck88 5 лет назад

I appreciate the tip to iron toward the sashing. This alleviates wondering which way to press on each row so that the seams line up each time. I often have to look under the last row to see which way to press the next row so this tip saves time.

@ShabbyFabrics 5 лет назад

So glad you enjoyed that tip! It really is helpful, since pressing seams matters, and can get confusing. - Morgan

Jen, I'd really love it if you would start wearing a microphone. Every time you turn your head away from the camera or step back to the displayed quilt I struggle to hear what you say, even when I'm wearing headphones. This simple nine patch quilt is really brought to life by that gorgeous fabric collection and your placement. Kudos!

this is BEAUTIFUL!! how may precuts does it take ...? fat quarters .. layer cakes ?

@ellenhofer3343 5 лет назад

Suzanne Williams it should be in the link above to the FREE directions

@ShabbyFabrics 5 лет назад

If you're pulling fabric from your stash, you'll need 16 fat quarters, sashing, and binding. Our kits include 8 Fat Quarters and 8 Fat Eighths, (2) 1/4 yard cuts, a 1 3/4 yard cut, and a 5/8 yard cut. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. - Morgan

Could you please tell me what color is used for the white sections on this? The pattern says white pearl dot, but can’t see it anywhere on benartex or Kanvas sites. Ty! Beautiful quilt

@DH-qz2so 5 лет назад

If you press towards the sashing, which is white, doesn't the seam allowance show through? This has happened on a quilt that I am making, where the seam is showing through the white fabric...thanks!

@ShabbyFabrics 5 лет назад

In this sample we did using these fabric shown it did not show through. However, I was able to run this by one of our specialists and she did confirm it would ultimately depend on the fabric that is being used. The thicker the fabric the less likely it is to show through, but if you have a thinner fabric it is more likely to show through. If you have any further questions please let me know as I am always happy to help! -Kyla

Confused the hell out of me with unclear instructions! Beautiful quilt.

@ShabbyFabrics 5 лет назад

Hi Tina! What part confused you? We can help clarify! -Morgan

@anotherblonde 5 лет назад

@@ShabbyFabrics Every other quilting channel says to turn seams away from light fabrics, you don't explain in detail how the dark cubes are inserted into to the white edging sections, you skip quite alot of the sewing, and hey presto the quilt is finished! People new to quilting, like me, watch to learn from the experts. In England we do not have shops full of quilting materials, and expert tutorials.

@ShabbyFabrics 5 лет назад

We've got a great Beginner Quilting Series that goes into detail about all of the basics that you can watch here: ru-vid.com/group/PL-nal4iMTUJtkvy_qcZwUcVsjDxvhVBwL The free pattern included shows you exactly how to add the sashing sections (the white strips and the blue squares) and it's just basic piecing (sewing the blue square to a white strip, across the quilt. Download the pattern here to see the detailed written instructions and color guides: www.shabbyfabrics.com/Assets/Downloads/BoxedInColorCalypso_forDownload.pdf We always recommend starting with the beginner quilting series because we can't cover all of the basics in every video or they'd get quite long. We will always be happy to answer questions in the comments under videos (we try to answer all of the specifics when we film the video, but questions do still arise), and we'll use your feedback to improve future videos. We hope that helps, we know learning can be overwhelming, but we're here to help you through it! - Morgan

LOVE this quilt. Can you please tell me what the dimensions are of the final product. I want to amake a twin sized quilt and cant find what size the final piece is on your pattern or on the vid. Am I missing something. Many thanks

@ShabbyFabrics 5 лет назад

So glad you like it! On the pattern, the final measurements are toward the bottom (they're easy to miss). The finished size is 57” X 68”, and you'll want 3 and 5/8 yard for backing. Let me know if you have any other questions! - Morgan

How to you make the strip with the corner stones

@ShabbyFabrics 5 лет назад

That's just going to be six 2.5" squares and five 2 1/2” x 9 1/2” strips sewing together as sashing. You'll make 4 of the dark blue sashing strips and 3 of the light blue sashing strips. The free download shows you how to lay that all out and gives you all the measurements.
