That is a great idea for using a jelly roll for an easy and comparatively fast quilt that shows off the fabrics in the collection. Not all quilts need to be complex designs to be pretty and useful! Thanks for the inspiration!
Love the time lapse video with your commentary. And I am also drooling over your most beautiful quilting room! Such a great productive space you made for yourself.
Thank you for the video. I love seeing your kids help. Mr. Piggy is so cute sitting in your sewing room. I had a different drying rack but the bars kept breaking…the one you are using will be delivered tomorrow! Off to my sewing room to use up a jelly roll!
I love these time lapse videos! It’s fun to see another quilter while they are in the flow of creating and hear a voiceover explanation. So much fun and it’s cute to see Piggy
I put 5 of your quilt patterns in my cart to purchase, I think my favorite is the Daybreak. I want to make it in Kimberly’s Pink and red fabric. You are absolutely my favorite designer! Thank you for what you do!!!
Thanks for sharing your creativity in time lapse & also for sharing your family & Piggy in the videos. I wish they didn't know when you were videoing so they would be in & out more. LOL I know some people keep a little ironing station by their machine, but I need to get up & down so my back doesn't hurt. I see you do the same!
Love it! I have been home all week in quarantine and have been in my sewing room a lot. I truly need to live to 400 to complete all the projects I have purchased! Hope to get one jelly roll out of here with this cute project!
@@GiGi-si9mo thank you. We are fine. Tomorrow will be 10 days since hubby tested positive. Thank God he had no symptoms and we are able to get out tomorrow!
My Goodness, what an awesome video!!! Your son is so handsome!!! He is so wonderful to help you!!!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful tips!!! Piggy is so darling just sleeping in the chair. Did you get a new sewing machine? It looks great. Wow! Wow! Wow! Your jelly roll quilt is so outstanding! Stunning! it all came together so beautifully!! I love the pattern and the way you sewed it up.
Aww little piggy loves you! I see him sleeping in the chair and the little Zzzz’s. You are very impressive with your quilting, stitching, running a business that we all love and most importantly being a mom!
I LOVE that you are not afraid of starch. Im fairly new to quilting and all the gals around me tell me to let up on the starching. Tip: I use one of those spray paint handles that pop on the top of the can. So I dont have to press that sprayer all day. Makes it a quick go with no discomfort. Thank you for your great videos.
Kimberly thank you for an awesome video. I am new to sewing and I am learning so much from you! At the moment I am sewing easy projects but my goal is making quilts, of course. Cutting material is a real challenge and your videos have been a real help.
My usual rule is I don't quilt after 9 pm, so I don't make mistakes when I'm tired. I got home from a date night with hubby and felt pretty good and really wanted to do some sewing. Chain pieced 80 blocks, sewing the log on the wrong side. Spent the rest of the weekend with my seam ripper. Lesson learned.
This is great! I love it! How you designed the back is exactly what I would have done by placing your strip blocks kiddy-corner to each other. Looks awesome!
Kimberly, you make this look so easy! Love the quilt and the colors! Thanks for sharing this! Genius using a drying rack to dry the starched strips. Question: you didn’t need to iron the strips after them drying? Were they warped or wrinkled? Just trying to lean and incorporate new ideas and methods.
I wondered about this too. I use starch for sewing quilt toppers and the instruction on these usually say to iron dry and not on the rack. Obviously not that much to be used either. I imagine it’s like washing it, putting fabric starch at the final rinse cycle and hang to dry. This way though it would warp and possibly leaves dry spots too. I make clothes too and my grandfather is a professional tailor making custom gentlemen’s suits and my mom made all of my fancy dresses for piano recitals and even draperies and all the decor items etc. for our home, and they always told me I have to prep fabric correctly. That is that I have to always put the fabric through water (immerse in water) for minimum of 1 hr and hang to dry, then iron (doesn’t usually involve starch for clothes making). I personally pre-wash my fabric in delicate cycle in nets especially things like cotton and linen because it has lots of dirt on it (lots of people touch it leaving their oils and dirt from hands), and residual dyed and chemicals (like formaldehyde which is carcinogenic). Just immersing it in water won’t gets these things out really. Even though I only put 1 min spin cycle and hang to dry, the fabric would always have wrinkles (though minimum) and the fabric grains won’t be straight until I iron them. I don’t think just hanging it on a rack like that after simply spraying would make the fabric magically come out just like you iron them.. Fabric has grains and they need to be straightened before cutting even for quilt toppers. I know she’s somewhat promoting this way to prep the fabric as she was showing the details in another episode (live episode) but I just felt it’s so unhealthy to use that much aerosol spray (she absolutely saturates the entire fabric and she apparently goes through tons of spray a month). As my grandfather who is a professional tailor and many told me unless the spray is for something else, normal regular iron starch spray is for soft finish. You’re better off to starch the fabric with wash-in fabric starch and iron after you hang to dry.
Ellie W “Wash-in fabric starch”? I had no idea that such a thing exists. I’ll have to track that product down (it should alleviate the strain on the spraying finger, which can get strained doing that much starching). Thanks very much for the tips! ~Diana K.
I have so many jelly rolls that don’t have a project can’t wait to try you idea! On vacation now but maybe in October or November. Thank you Kimberly for this fun idea.
This is something that I have often thought about doing with a jelly roll but wasn’t sure if it would look good. Now I know that it will, I am going to give it go!! Thanks again Kimberly!!
When I’ve had my Fitbit on and I am sandwiching a quilt my heart rate goes waaaay up into the cardio zone. And that time count as an activity. So don’t think you’re not getting any exercise quilting.
What a fun idea! I'm not on any social media, so I can't enter, but I may have to try this layout anyway. I wish I had a table like that to do my cutting on :)
Hello Lousie! The quilt was not quilted in time for is to insert a photo. You can see the completed quilt here: th-cam.com/users/liveB8qOJX1Gino?si=jkrV5lCgshfsIwQL&t=637
Hi Kimberly - This is so cute! You always make me think about the back of the quilt now. I have been working on getting my fabric stash down. At last count I have over 200 jelly rolls and three large bookshelves of yardage fabric. Thank you for the inspiration and tips.
Loved the video and your adorable pug. I used to have 3 pugs, but they are all gone to doggie heaven now and I am nearly 70 so I don't think I will get another. I sure do miss all the love they showed you. Pugs are special.
Love your videos and how quick this quilt went. I am working on mine but will take all weekend as I decided to make flying geese..didn't realize how many flying geese as I just started some rows and now realize I need a lot. 😃
Oh my gosh! I'm just so impressed that you knew what you wanted to do and how to execute- I have so much fabric and so many ideas for quilt makes but can't seem to act on any of them. How did you know to measure the strips perfectly for the log cabin top ??
Hello Gail! Because it is a square quilt block, she merely squared it up after each round. The best way to sort through your ideas is just to pick one and start it, after a few more quilts you'll be able to know which kinds of quilts you are more drawn to.
I want to learn to quilt and loved this video!! I have always wondered about jelly rolls!! 😊 You are so talented and I so appreciate how you share your gift!! 💗💗
Great idea but what caught my eye was your impressive thread collection on the wall. :-)
That is a great idea for using a jelly roll for an easy and comparatively fast quilt that shows off the fabrics in the collection. Not all quilts need to be complex designs to be pretty and useful! Thanks for the inspiration!
I love your time lapses of what you are doing at home…quilting and stitching. Your quilt is great and I love love love the backing!
Love the time lapse video with your commentary. And I am also drooling over your most beautiful quilting room! Such a great productive space you made for yourself.

Love, love Fat Quarter Shop!! Thank you for making sewing SEW much fun!!!! 😍
You inspire me everyday!!!!!
I was so impressed by this pillow you’ve made. I never wanted to take on this pattern.
Love it! I have been home all week in quarantine and have been in my sewing room a lot. I truly need to live to 400 to complete all the projects I have purchased! Hope to get one jelly roll out of here with this cute project!
Only to 400. Join the club. Hope you are doing okay.
@@GiGi-si9mo thank you. We are fine. Tomorrow will be 10 days since hubby tested positive. Thank God he had no symptoms and we are able to get out tomorrow!
Hope you have enjoyed getting out. Stay safe.
I love the flower quilt! I always like blocks that are not square.
Such darling quilts and great ideas! Thank you for sharing!
My Goodness, what an awesome video!!! Your son is so handsome!!! He is so wonderful to help you!!!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful tips!!! Piggy is so darling just sleeping in the chair. Did you get a new sewing machine? It looks great. Wow! Wow! Wow! Your jelly roll quilt is so outstanding! Stunning! it all came together so beautifully!!

Hello Sewesme! That is the JUKI TL-2020 PE Platinum Edition: amzn.to/3lOfNSz
Fun idea, thank you Kimberly for the inspiration.
What a wonderful helper you have!. Great idea for a baby quilt for tummy time. Thank you!
How exciting! Can't wait to see all the creativity.
Aww little piggy loves you! I see him sleeping in the chair and the little Zzzz’s. You are very impressive with your quilting, stitching, running a business that we all love and most importantly being a mom!
Wow. Most inspiring.
Great exercise session with sewing. I can’t do too much sitting.
So fun! I prepped my fabrics today!
I LOVE that you are not afraid of starch. Im fairly new to quilting and all the gals around me tell me to let up on the starching. Tip: I use one of those spray paint handles that pop on the top of the can. So I dont have to press that sprayer all day. Makes it a quick go with no discomfort. Thank you for your great videos.
What’s the benefit of starching?
I feel there is less shifting when cutting and sewing. Less unraveling for sure. Neatly presses. Easier to finger press too. Just crisper all around.
Starching helps Kimberly make accurate cuts and keeps her fabric stiff.
How fun! Thanks for sharing!
I love seeing Patton helping you! I love his hair too!
Awesome jelly roll quilt…thank you Kimberly ❤️🔆❤️
Really adorable quilt with minimal effort!
That was fun, Kimberly!
Love this! I'll have to add one of these to my list....lol
Now that’s pure inspiration for me! I love your creation! Thanks Kimberly!
Hehe, Piggy zzzz-ing! Cute fabric!
Always a great day when a FQS video shows up!! Thank you for all you do!!
Kimberly thank you for an awesome video. I am new to sewing and I am learning so much from you! At the moment I am sewing easy projects but my goal is making quilts, of course. Cutting material is a real challenge and your videos have been a real help.
Love your pug! It's sweet he stays with you while you sew. I like the the quilt too :D
I love this fabric line Cozy Up! Your quilt is beautiful! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
This was sew fun to watch. It takes me forever to sew. Wish that I had your energy! Thanks for another time lapse video.
Love the Cozy Up Fabric and your sewing room is awesome!
Love this! Thank you Kimberly!
Thank you for the great video. The backing is especially cute. Will have to copy that with my Sweetwater label.

I love the format of this video. Please do more like this.
Kimberly, you are so inspiring. Thanks for another great video!
wow so much fun!!!!! Thanks Kimberly!
This is great! I love it! How you designed the back is exactly what I would have done by placing your strip blocks kiddy-corner to each other. Looks awesome!
Enjoyed the video. Love the quilt. Definitely will try this.
Your doggie is cute.❤
You make it look so easy!!
That little dog is absolutely precious....:) Great Idea, I never thought about starching strip rolls before
Omg I can’t wait to have a sewing room like yours I’m in love
Great Kimberly!

Hello K! No, but she does hang them to dry, so that probably prevents any wrinkling

Thank you! Amazing!
Love this! But in East Texas, it would take 3 to 4 days to dry those wet strips.
I have so many jelly rolls that don’t have a project can’t wait to try you idea! On vacation now but maybe in October or November. Thank you Kimberly for this fun idea.
This is something that I have often thought about doing with a jelly roll but wasn’t sure if it would look good. Now I know that it will, I am going to give it go!! Thanks again Kimberly!!
Love this idea!!
WOW , THIS WAS GREAT KIMBERLY...THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Great vid! And WOW- that wall of thread has me salivating. lol
This shows how quilting is NOT a sedentary activity. I get in a lot of steps getting up and down sewing, pressing, cutting.
When I’ve had my Fitbit on and I am sandwiching a quilt my heart rate goes waaaay up into the cardio zone. And that time count as an activity. So don’t think you’re not getting any exercise quilting.
Love that shirt.
WHAT FUN!!! I will have to show this to my students and make the jelly roll jackpot!!! And I have to say, your sewing studio is FABULOUS!!!!
I made a beautiful jelly roll quilt for Christmas with every other in red and green alternating with Christmas prints. Wow so easy and pretty.
What a fun idea! I'm not on any social media, so I can't enter, but I may have to try this layout anyway. I wish I had a table like that to do my cutting on :)
Would have enjoyed seeing the completed quilt
Hello Lousie! The quilt was not quilted in time for is to insert a photo. You can see the completed quilt here: th-cam.com/users/liveB8qOJX1Gino?si=jkrV5lCgshfsIwQL&t=637
This is another great tutorial… I loved the backing. And your dog snoozing on the chair!
Love that you sew barefoot too! I cannot sew with shoes on to save my life! Thanks for the idea. I have a ton of jelly rolls that need to be used.
Fantastic, love what you've made with the jelly roll, this is going to be one I try.
You have such great tutorials!
Piggy is sooooo cute! Lucky dog! Thanks for the info!
This is super cute! I was looking for a cute fall quilt and this may be it!
Oh my gosh I got to try this!!! Thanks Kimberly!!!!
You made that look so easy. That would have taken me a week. You’re son is gorgeous and his hair is such a lovely colour
That looked like loads of fun. You make your backs so interesting
I LOVE your wall of thread!!
Hi Kimberly - This is so cute! You always make me think about the back of the quilt now. I have been working on getting my fabric stash down. At last count I have over 200 jelly rolls and three large bookshelves of yardage fabric. Thank you for the inspiration and tips.
I love how your son loves to help his Momma!
Gonna take a moment to appreciate that wall of threads!! That's amazing :)
I thought I got up and down a lot, now watching you I know I do. Love The time lapsed video, the quilt and quilt back🥰
Loved the video and your adorable pug. I used to have 3 pugs, but they are all gone to doggie heaven now and I am nearly 70 so I don't think I will get another. I sure do miss all the love they showed you. Pugs are special.
Lots of fun 😊. What Model Juki are you sewing with. I love ❤️ it
Hello Tammy! Kimberly is using a Juki TL-2010Q sewing machine: amzn.to/2onygue
Love the time lapse videos!! Super cute quilt. 😀💜💜
That would make a great baby quilt!
What a fun challenge!
Love your videos and how quick this quilt went. I am working on mine but will take all weekend as I decided to make flying geese..didn't realize how many flying geese as I just started some rows and now realize I need a lot. 😃

Fun and fast project
OMG, I love this, what a fab idea.
I really love these videos of your sewing time at your home - thanks for letting us 'in' your private space.
I would love a studio like that.
Fun Idea!
I love watching your time lapse videos!
Fun! Now I want to play with the jelly rolls I've been collecting!
Fun! It really is a great idea! A since I just bought two jelly rolls a couple of days ago, I need to start thinking of ideas!
I was dizzy with the high speed. Cute quilt!
Do you have a video of your sewing room? I would love to see everything. Is that a thread wall???? I love the way you have it set up. God bless.
Hello Quilting with Cats! We have a video available here: th-cam.com/video/VucWajpBCpM/w-d-xo.html
I want to learn to quilt and loved this video!! I have always wondered about jelly rolls!! 😊
