Never mind my question, I read the earlier comments and got my answer. Your videos have been instrumental for a newbie like myself learning how to quilt. I have used so many of your tips and ideas, and I now can consider quilting a huge hobby of mine. :) I made 5 quilts for family members and friends this Christmas! Thank you!!
@nechamatova We use regular machine quilting thread by Superior thread to do our quilting. To choose a color I lay several threads across the quilt and pick the one that hides the best. I think the quilt should be the star not the thread.
(add 20 inches of border so it will end up being 78 by78 . how wide the first border( the inner one and how wide the outer border or is it better to buy another layer cake and continue the jacobs so it will look more uniform?
@nechamatova You can do that and your borders would be 10 inches on each side. So you can do any combination of sizes for the border. Like a 3 inch inner border and 7 inch outer border or 4 and 6 etc....It will look beautiful!
How many packages of the Little Gathering layer cakes will it take to make a medium (78x78) quilt? Also it looks like the border material matches the layer cake. I am new to your website and new to quilting. How can I purchase your material for the borders? Love your tutorials!!!
@bleviba1 The quilt I made is 58x58 and I used 1 layer cake....so 2 will be more than enough. And yes you can purchase fabric on our site. For a 78 x78 quilt you will need 3/4 yard for the inner border and for the outer border you will need...1 1/2 yard....have fun!
@nechamatova For this quilt I used 1 layer cake and divided it into 4 and made half of them into 4 patches and the other half into 1/2 square triangles.
Jenny, u are something else,,tried this and sure have to be on your toes or it can twisted in a heart beat, found out the hard way,,,but pretty when i did get it done..gonna make a whole bunch....
jenny you are awesome I love your videos you make every thing look so easy I have learned a lot from you. you don't have to know design just by memery a design board would haelp viewers.
Jenny is a hero to all. I love that she real. She tells it like it is. Lining up the blocks with a sample block and repeating red goes here,red red and so on.
No matter what she is teaching I feel I have a friend to watch over and over again with out lossing hope.
Two questions: First, is the Little Gatherings Wall hanging made out of layer cake because the squares look smaller to me but it could be that it's just farther away in the video? And second, what width of borders did you use on the wall hanging so I can order some additional fabric for that? Thanks so much! I love your tutorials!
Jenny ....help! I'm working at mixing the fabrics into blocks but I'm trying not to duplicate the blocks. Suffice to say I'm driving myself crazy! How do you mix the fabrics ?
I have learned so much from your tutorials and love your enthusiasm! Thank you very much Jenny & MSQC.
Would you please clarify why you say that we need a Layer Cake to make a Jacob's Ladder quilt when your demo uses jelly roll strips and charm packs? I'm confused. Thanks for your help.
Great video. How much fabric does it take to make the red and white version? What size would 2 yards of red and 2 yards of white make? How do you think you will finish it? Any borders or just a binding? Will the binding be a bias red and white stripe? Thanks for your videos.
@YTSFH1 Wow...I love the stripe idea....Probably I will just put a binding. One layer cake or jelly roll is equal to 2 3/4 yards of fabric and when you put those together you get a queen....so with 2 yards of each you will probably get a full size.....Have fun!
Hi Jenny. I just LOVE ALL your tutorials.... :) I have a question if you don't mind my asking. Couldn't you use the technique you showed making the half square triangles? The one where you put two squares together and sew a 1/4" all away around and then cut it into fourths? I think it would be even faster using that technique, too, right? I apologize if I am overstepping my bounds... but I use all your techniques to the fullest I can... :) Keep them coming... :)
@3Playtime7 You can do it that way but since I was using a Layer cake that i cut into 4 charm size squares I had to figure it using the charm size and then the half squares would have been too small....but if I had used layer cakes ...hummm I will have to think on that. Thanks for spurring on my mind.
@verycraftymama The ruler is The Cutting Edge Ruler 9.5"x 9.5" by Sullivan's SKU#38180 -M, you can find it on our website if you want it! :) Hope this helps and have a lovely day!!
@brook714 You would end up with way more four patches than half square trianlges, You would need 2 charm packs and you would only use 1/2 of your jelly roll.....
Oh MSQC! How I love thee! I didn't realize Jacob's Ladder could be this simple! My Great Aunt always made this type of quilt for me. I am blessed to still have them, and now I can make them myself! THANK YOU!
@yumagirl55 When you use a layer cake you will cut it into 4 ths. This will give you the equivalent of 4 charm packs. Divide those in half and make 2 of them into the half square triangles and the other 2 into four patches.
can't wait to make this one.... I've been wanting to make a red and white quilt anyways... so I think I will make this one red and white !!!! Great idea... thanks Jenny ! : )
it's really incredible how easy you make it, thank you, you are my inspiration!
