Daybreak process - Kawandi Style Quilt
มุมมอง 1.7K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
I'm chatting about my process of making my Daybreak quilt. I used a technique similar to Siddhi quilters, but I've made several changes to suit my artistic inspiration. Initial construction is done, and I'm about to add a second round of stitches to enhance the texture. Want more info on process? How about a list of my favorite tools?

Starry Path Tutorial - Part 1 of the 2022 AccuQuilt BOB Sampler
What size needle are you using?
😮😮😮omgosh this is stunning!!!!! How did you make this . Its a masterpiece💙🩵💚💜
Can you show us what kind of scraps you use ??if cotton jeans i see, is that right??
Lovely💜💜💜💜💜💚🩵💙
Love this stitch. Very decorative💜this would be lovely on a dress.👗tfs.
Does the batting go up underneath the folded edge or butted up against it?
The batting is underneath the folded edge. I wrap the excess backing around the batting.
Ok I love this I just asked in a previous video like 5 minutes ago how you incorporated these in your quilts and here is the video:) lol thankyou for this video, how would one do this if they didnt have a longarm, I really like this idea:)
Without a Longarm, I would do it like a traditional quilt. Lay out the backing, smooth the batting over it. Pin the large pieces down, and stitch around them. Then begin the Kawandi construction technique.
I love this quilt and these colors, it looks so cool with the bigger pieces, (bars) how did you incorporate them in the quilt did you put them down first and then stitch the other pieces around them? are the edges all turned under on the bigger pieces?
Do you have any videos on doing a larger bed size kawandi? Do I necessarily need a big table or flat surface to work on?
The largest one I have done is about twin-size. Unfortunately, I don’t have videos of working on that one. You absolutely do not need a table to work on. I usually work on my lap while sitting on the sofa. I also don’t make any effort to lay pieces out before stitching. My lines of stitches aren’t perfectly straight, either.
What are your thoughts on putting the same fabrics next to each other, for my first project I’m not using a big variety of scraps, it’s kind of like a small memory project made out of only certain fabrics.
I think you get really interesting shapes when you have the same fabrics touch each other. The most important part is to remember that you are making your project. The most important opinion is yours. Those of us who use a zillion fabrics are just showing off that we have an excessive stash.
@@JenStrauser I was thinking the very same thing, some of the fabrics do look pretty side by side and do create new shapes :). Thankyou for the teaching tutorials, us beginners really appreciate it. Ive been a quilter for a long time but kawandi is new to me:)
These are so beautiful and creative, I’m starting my first kawandi this weekend, I will probably try one by hand and another by machine, are you making wall hangings out of these or what do you use them for, I’ve never really seen anyone put a hanging sleeve on any of the tutorials I’ve watched for kawandi so I’m curious what people do with them. .
My larger ones get used as regular quilts, when they aren’t hanging at shows. The smaller ones mostly sit in my class sample bag, because I’m not a placemat user. I have friends who have sewn multiple small ones together, though.
@@JenStrauser That sounds kind of cool sewing small ones together, I would love to see that in a tutorial:)
Thank you for sharing this! I’d like a pdf of your alphabet.
I APPLAUDE YOUR PATIENCE!! IT WOULD BE HELPFUL ON THE VIDEO AT THE END OF EACH STEP TO LET THE VIDEO SHOW THE FINAL PRODUCT WITHOUT YOUR HANDS IN THE PICTURE JUST FOR BETTER IMAGE OF THE PROCESS.
I SEE THERE ARE CLEARER PHOTOS ON THE WEB PAGE...THEY HELP TO UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS.
ALSO WHEN HOLDING UP A PIECE TO SHOW A COMPLETED STEP, IT IS BEST TO HAVE A SOLID, PLAIN BACKGROUND FOR VISIBILITY.
Thanks for posting. Just purchased. Needed the help to shapebit.
why dony u bind the pieces before u stitch all together. much easier
@@jackiekraemer596 when I bind the r pieces I find that my machine struggles with all of the layers. There are so many ways to make things - this one works well for me.
Thank you very much. You've just saved my sanity.
Thank you very much.I kept getting an error that involved the bobbin and I couldn’t figure out what was wrong.Thanks again.
thx
Double gauze on the back?
Yes! I love using double gauze on the back of my pieces. It’s such a pleasure to stitch through.
2 mile long threads WILL make you dizzy, sweet girl! And don’t worry about the videography and teaching and everything! You are doing something that most people don’t do - and that’s doing _something_ ❤ Subscribed. Because your content is actually good. And I liked the way you talk.
lol. Thanks for the compliments! I get better every time, so I don’t mind making mistakes.
@ Thank you for making mistakes, *IF ANY* … we viewers then learn what _not_ to do, unless, to do. But as lovely late Bob Ross said, “there are no mistakes, just happy accidents.” Love from Cyprus!
Thanks for adding the audio!!
Thank you for coming back and narrating the belly part. But I’m still obsessed with your knuckle thimble. I need one of these so badly!
You're welcome! I forgot my husband had come in to chat while I was recording and I muted him. I'm using a fidget spinner ring from Boho Magic. I love mine and wear it every day as jewelry. You can find links to that and all of the other supplies I use here. dizzyquilter.com/my-favorite-supplies/
This is such a helpful video! Could you tell me what size/type needle you're using?
I use a Milliner's #3. You can find a complete list of my favorite supplies at dizzyquilter.com/my-favorite-supplies/
Sound stopped at the belly patch.
I've uploaded a new end bit, this time with narration. th-cam.com/video/997HqCLkwPk/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much for making this video. I desperately need to use a thimble but have a really hard time with them. Can you share about your beautiful knuckle thimble?

Thank you for all the tips in this nice video, I learned a lot. I have finished two small Kawandi table runners and thinking about being courageous and start a big one 🤔
You should make a big one! Give yourself grace and time - Mine took 2 years.
@@JenStrauser Thanks for the encouragement 🤗
Could you use a thinner needle?
You can absolutely use whatever you are comfortable with, that works with the thread you choose. You are making a project for you. Make yourself happy.

I love all the videos that MARGARET FABRIZIO as posted about Kwandi. She visited the Siddi women and learn first hand how they make their Kwandi. Joe Cunningham has a wonderful tribute to Margaret and her beautiful quilts. The Siddi women use thin layers of sari layered inside instead of batting. Nothing goes to waste. These women work sitting on the floor or ground as they work. They also tear the fabric instead of using scissors. These are magical projects and I hope to make one someday. They use a heavy thread almost like a thin cotton crochet thread. Have fun. ❤. LOST SOUND at the belly patch. Awwwww. Came back on after a few minutes. 👍🏻
Margaret is great. Her channel is @atree3, for anyone else looking for her. I've posted the end of the video, with added narration. You can find it here. th-cam.com/video/997HqCLkwPk/w-d-xo.html
I'm working on a Kawandi as I'm watching you! Small red ones for mug rugs.
Yay! Isn't it fun?
Beautiful quilt and backdrop. It looks like the park where I live in Minnesota.
It’s lovely
gorgeous colors! beautiful work!!
it looks very wobbly
Hi, my name is Ellen and I’m now watching your channel ❤
I don’t understand that you don’t have fabric in the travel bag.
As I discuss in the video, I've already constructed the quilt. I am now enhancing the texture with additional stitching.
The colours you used are beautiful together 😊
Glad you think so!
Wow putting the xmas tree up already!? Wow! I will do mine in a week and 3 days. November 3rd. I wanna get passed October
Ha! I usually do it after Thanksgiving, but I had a marketing deadline for this.
@@JenStrauser I always do mine the Sunday after Halloween.
It's great to put it up early, more time to enjoy it plus look at how confused she was with the tree, she needs time to figure it out.
Very pretty 😊
Amazing ! So beautiful, love it Christmas 🌲
This is stunning, I am going to see if you have shown the entire piece!
I definitely don't see random in your quilts. They're beautiful. And very inspirational.
Wow so beautiful art🎉great creativity, looking from India 🎉
Stay connected janifer dear

Hello Sydopholus!
Great video! Thank you for posting it! Great tip on stitching in the ditch when applying the binding, never would have thought of that.
Glad it was helpful!
Love viewing Accuquilt products ❤
Thanks! I hope it's helpful.
I want this so bad where can I get this
Check out the Gammill Users group on Facebook. There were often people getting rid of them on there. I sold mine with my machine a few years ago.
