Thank you for this video. This has helped me get organized with my Wensleydale quilt. I stopped because I was overwhelmed choosing fabrics. Thank you again.
This is sew Genius! I have sewn and quilted for 40 years! I can coordinate fabric perfectly. This quilt to me is what I call "ugly" BEAUTIFUL ! Why is because a lot of the fabrics in Jen kingwell's quilt do not match. I'm attracted to it because my grandmother made quilts like this from shirts, any kind of fabric she could get her hands on. This is very emotionally beautiful to me! Your video is sew flawless on how to go against my matching methods!! I just found u because Jen Kingwall was on Lisa Bonjean channel. Thank you sew very much for this. I will be doing this today ! Subscribe to your channel 😊❤❤❤
Thank you So So much. I have always had a hard time trying to make stuff scrappy. When we did our first bundle it almost took half the fabrics we had! We still try and find a selection that coordinates but several aren't matchy matchy. Have fun! I hope you have a blast
Thanks so much for putting this tutorial together. I have the book and papers but haven’t been game to dive in. You have given me the confidence to pull fabric and get cracking.
Your organized layout method is So Smart! ThankU!! I've been struggling a bit slowly cutting with templates piece by piece and your pre-measured sections are gonna make it So Much Ezier, YaY!!!
Thank you so much for this video. It gave me the courage to actually begin this quilt. I bought the book, made handmade templates and created one scrappy block. Not bad but not great either. After watching this video, i created a paper guide like your fabric one for the different sections. Next, i reviewed videos on foundation paper piecing. i purchased the papers and today made my first sample block. Beautiful! I just needed help with planning this project . Thank you again!
ABSOLUTELY loved this video. I made a 'map' on a paper that shows the layout of the 6.25" strip. Awesome, have made 28 blocks, and I still refer to it piecing each block. However, I went one step further. On my Cutting table (60" x 40") I lay out masking tape on the cutting mat so that I can lay SEVERAL WOF strips, cutting each section, each of the sub-sections. I don't worry about the smaller sizes. (yeah, my first block is way oversized, but doesn't matter when trimming). Then I sort in to groups, stack, then do the sub-cutting along with my paper piecing. TOTALLY worth purchasing the pre-printed papers.
IMO, the book was totally useless. I would never have made the quilt with her instructions. Also working on her Diamond quilt. Had a bundle of fat eights that are awesome. Using her templates on that one.
@BettyBaker411 I know she prefers the templates and uses a lot of scraps, but I really enjoyed the inspiration from all the quilts in the book. We'll be doing another math breakdown soon for the Shooting Star papers.
I bought your kit for this last week in Paducah. Can’t wait to get started, first time paper piecing, but I think it will work out with your detailed instructions 😊 Thanks for the videos !
Just came from the Branson show and purchased the fabric bundle and papers. Can't wait to get started. Genius cutting instructions and layouts. Looking forward to receiving the papers in the mail. Going to get started on organizing my fabrics per your video! So glad I was able to meet you and your mom. Etsy store, here I come. :) 😁
Suzy! Hooray! I'm so glad you have a starting point and a heads up on what you can start on now. It was so great meeting all the new friends at Branson! Can't wait to see how you put this together
I have loved this quilt since I first saw it on the cover of the book. I have the template set, but was stuck with fabric selection. I stumbled across your video, immediately purchased the foundation paper and am now pulling fabrics - Finally in a comfortable position to make this beauty with your video as reference. Thank you so much for sharing this!!!!
Pam! That is so so great! I know why they put this one on the cover. And I'm so glad you found a way you can do it. We're working on a walk through on making the blocks so that may be of help in the future too
Thank you for the cutting dimensions. I’m just starting my quilt and wondered how I was going to do this. I have scraps but know I know how big each section needs to be. Thank you again.
This is so very helpful! Takes the guesswork out of cutting shapes and very little waste. I had a hard time getting started with the paper piecing technique, but I think I’ve got it now. Putting the blocks together is a little addictive so I have to limit myself to a couple a day.
Iman! I'm so glad. I recognized the name from your order. I'm glad we send out links to this to everyone who buys a bundle in hopes they can get inspiration or courage to start. Sounds like you're fully prepared now to start on this! Happy sewing!
Well - you are not going to believe it but i kind of got carried away and now have 142 sets ready to go -lol. Your set started me then i got daring and started introducing other colors haha
@@quiltedchicken you will - before then end of this decade i hope -lol- for i am a serial starter haha - i can prove it with pictures; I get the project together, cut it get the rulers, the pattern, the backing etc in a bin that I label - then onto next thrill haha
Tammy, thank you so much! It's always difficult when you know how to do it in your head to then explain it to people. I think the visual was the main explainer
This video is so very helpful! The Wensleydale quilt is on my to-do list. I have the foundation papers but have been stuck on how to proceed. This video gives me the confidence to move forward. Thank you!
Eveline, thank you so much! Anything we can do to make projects easier. With this technique I think it saves fabric or at least gives you sizes to cut your scraps
We had already completed the whole quilt before we came back to make this how to video. It was a process! Believe me. I hope this gives you the courage to start one if you're interested!
This is so helpful, thank you. Just wondering if you have a picture of your step out of the cutting measurements for both the initial cutting and the cutting down of the pieces. Many thanks.
Jocelyn, I do not have a secondary picture of the cutting. I just have the pieces at the end they have been cut down. I'll have to check but I don't think I can edit the video
Thank you very much for sharing this very informative video! I was wondering if you knew if this particular pattern has been done with only 5 colors. That was my original plan.
You are welcome. I am not sure about just the 5 fabrics. I don't see why it wouldn't work, the blocks could all be the same or you'd just have less variation in the scrappy, but if you love the fabrics sure! Go for it
@@quiltedchicken it’s for my grandson and his favorite color is green and he likes the diamond shapes. I’m going to turn them so the diamonds are vertical (7” x 11”) making 10 wide by 8 long about 70” x 88” I’m just starting to work it out in my head lol I so much loved your video!
Stacy. I will have to look up the shooting star pattern. This method works because the pieces can be translated to a square or rectangle. I will take a look at it tho and let you know
Thank you for this video. This has helped me get organized with my Wensleydale quilt. I stopped because I was overwhelmed choosing fabrics. Thank you again.
That is so great to hear! I always do better with math so I'm glad I could share the idea!

Love to hear that! It's hard seeing a project you love and not knowing where to start. So happy you'll get going on this
Your organized layout method is So Smart! ThankU!! I've been struggling a bit slowly cutting with templates piece by piece and your pre-measured sections are gonna make it So Much Ezier, YaY!!!
Wonderful! It's all about sharing the creativity. I'm so glad I am not the only one that prefers the "easy" way for this.
Wow! I'm so impressed with the thought process that figured all of this out! Thank you so much!
Katie, thank you so much! I don't even remember how it started. Probably me being stubborn not wanting to waste fabric. LOL
@@quiltedchicken You're a genius! Now, if I can just figure out where I hid the foundation papers! They're here somewhere! :)
@@myquiltstudio haha. Lol. That's always the issue. I'm looking for a pillow kit I cut yesterday for a sample. It's piled under something

Patricia! That is so great! Not everyone thinks and sews the same, so I'm glad it helped you figure it out!
Thank you so much for your cutting directions. My Wensleydale is coming along so much faster now!
That is fantastic! I'm so glad!
17:06 your videos was great!! I love the way you organized the fabric for each block! Great idea!
Thank you so much! It takes a little time but then you've got a block ready to go and you don't have to second guess your choices
ABSOLUTELY loved this video. I made a 'map' on a paper that shows the layout of the 6.25" strip. Awesome, have made 28 blocks, and I still refer to it piecing each block.

TOTALLY worth purchasing the pre-printed papers.
That sounds like a great idea. Unless you do miniature quilts, the excess you cut off for the first piece is probably waste anyways so smart thinking!
IMO, the book was totally useless. I would never have made the quilt with her instructions.
Also working on her Diamond quilt. Had a bundle of fat eights that are awesome. Using her templates on that one.

Wow, this is going to make it a lot easier, so glad I found your video.
I am too! And I'm so glad it was helpful! I'm hoping to revisit this and actually put some blocks together or do a sew a long. Enjoy!
Wow! This is amazing! You’ve taken what appears to be a very complicated quilt and made it accessible for everyone!❤
I am so glad you found it helpful! I love this process and have really enjoyed the projects we've done with it.

I just finished my Wensleydale quilt using your tutorial... thank you for the tutorial.. I find it such ease to follow/organise.
I am so glad you found it helpful. My main setback is feeling overwhelmed, so I tried to break it down into doable steps. So glad it helped you too!!
Thank you for the cutting dimensions. I’m just starting my quilt and wondered how I was going to do this. I have scraps but know I know how big each section needs to be. Thank you again.
You're so welcome! I'm glad we could help with that first step of getting started.
Awesome! Thank you for this Wensleydale block video!
Absolutely! It took way too long to get it out there but every time we worked on it I figured out new tips so I'm happy to share
Thank you so much for this video! I can hardly wait to get started on this!! I love this quilt and the fabric choices!!
Janet! This was such a fun process, maybe because it was something I hadn't done before but I hope you LOVE it!
Thank you so much for figuring out this efficient method. This pattern is on my 2024 list.
Absolutely! It's always more fun when it makes sense and you're not wasting fabric
This is so very helpful! Takes the guesswork out of cutting shapes and very little waste.
I had a hard time getting started with the paper piecing technique, but I think I’ve got it now. Putting the blocks together is a little addictive so I have to limit myself to a couple a day.
Lol. I'm so glad. It is easy to get carried away when it's all cut and ready for you. So glad we could help you get started
I just found you and love your genius process

WOW ! So helpful! I was just about to throw out that project and you've made it make sense! Well done!
Jane! I'm glad we came to the rescue! This really is too pretty a project to throw in the towel. I hope you enjoy it now!
Excellent explanation......love this quilt and the fabric is beautiful!
Tammy, thank you so much! It's always difficult when you know how to do it in your head to then explain it to people. I think the visual was the main explainer
Thanks so much, this makes a big project like this look a little more approachable.
Sue, absolutely. It's daunting sometimes starting something big or something you've never done. I hope this breaks it down into manageable steps
Thank you. Have been waiting because unsure of cutting. You have encouraged me to get to it!
I'm so glad we could de-mystify this process. It's always more fun when it's not scary to start! Enjoy!
This video is so very helpful! The Wensleydale quilt is on my to-do list. I have the foundation papers but have been stuck on how to proceed. This video gives me the confidence to move forward. Thank you!
Lisa! I'm so glad. I hope you have fun with it. I know it was a big undertaking for us so I'm thankful it will help you get started.
Great instructions, thank you.
Absolutely! I'm hope it helped you out
So good!!! Thank You for this Video!
Eveline, thank you so much! Anything we can do to make projects easier. With this technique I think it saves fabric or at least gives you sizes to cut your scraps
Thank you for this video - so helpful ❤ I've been cutting pieces today - stacking has started!
Jody! Hooray! I'm so glad. Happy to share the tip and hope you have a blast with it
Thank you so much for this video. It is very helpful. Great !!!!!! It`s brilliant !!!!
Absolutely!! I'm so glad to hear it!! You better send pics when you do it!
You make that look so easy
We had already completed the whole quilt before we came back to make this how to video. It was a process! Believe me. I hope this gives you the courage to start one if you're interested!
P.s. I ordered the paper from u too!! 😊
Fantastic! I hope you love putting it together
Thank you very helpful!
Patsy! Thank you. I hope it makes this project less intimidating

@@quiltedchicken Thank you so much for your quick reply.
Thank you, very helpful. I was wondering how many different fabrics are reccomended?
So sorry for the delayed response. I had to find and check her book. It recommended 7-8 yards total but not a number for how many prints
Thank you very much for sharing this very informative video! I was wondering if you knew if this particular pattern has been done with only 5 colors. That was my original plan.
You are welcome. I am not sure about just the 5 fabrics. I don't see why it wouldn't work, the blocks could all be the same or you'd just have less variation in the scrappy, but if you love the fabrics sure! Go for it
@@quiltedchicken it’s for my grandson and his favorite color is green and he likes the diamond shapes. I’m going to turn them so the diamonds are vertical (7” x 11”) making 10 wide by 8 long about 70” x 88”
I’m just starting to work it out in my head lol
I so much loved your video!
That will be perfect!
thank you very much.
Absolutely! I hope it helps.
I'd love a video of you actually doing the sewing of a block :)
Christie I can certainly add that to my list of to -do! Thank you. It may be another month but I'll try and get it put together
i have a bunch of Tilda fat quarters i have been saving for something special, could i use them for this quilt? i love this quilt!
You can ABSOLUTELY use them! And they would be perfect! I wish I could see yours come together. I am working on getting specs to do this with FQ
oh my goodness, that will be a great tutorial , thanks so much!
Of course!
I am interested in the book of instructions for quilt recipes! Thank you.
I am SLO’s enjoying the vidio!
www.quiltedchicken.com/listing/1212221229/quilt-recipes-jkd-8717-jen-kingwell
Here we go. I'll have to look to see how many quilt patterns it has and how many did recipes
When using the acrylic templates is it the exact size to fit the bl9cks. Thank you
Let me look and see if that information is online somewhere we are sold out of the templates at this time
can this be pieced together without the papers?
Her book "Quilt Recipes" had a printable template. There are also acrylic templates to cut your fabric so you wouldn't need the papers
What is the size of the FINISHED block?
Finished block is 11" x 7-1/4"
Do you have a video like this for JK Shooting Star ?
Or how can I translate your instructions for a different FPP Quilt?
Stacy. I will have to look up the shooting star pattern. This method works because the pieces can be translated to a square or rectangle. I will take a look at it tho and let you know
Thank you!
