I watch your tutorials every morning. We are wintering in Texas but plan to use my fat quarter to make a quilt when I go home, since I do not have a sewing machine here. You make everything look so easy.
Donna Jordan you are just too smart! You take great videos and you don't talk too much about nothing and lose my attention. I love your videos!! I love your quilts and you make things look so simple! I wish we could sit down and have coffee! Good job!
The best tutorials ever without raving on, always to the point and so organised. I’m addicted to your videos. 👍🏻 thanks Donna and Matt, wonderful team work. 👏
Why anyone would ever give you a thumbs down is beyond me. Your tutorials are educational and motivational. I wish there were enough hours in the days to make them all!
I just recently found your channel and I'm addicted to the videos! I love every quilt that I've seen you make on the videos. You are very talented. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us. 😊🌹
You are so organized with your cutting, piecing, sewing, and pressing. That means we don’t have to wait very long for the next step. Your videos are so easy to watch. I don’t get anxious for the next step. You love what you do and that’s contagious.
At the 8:27 mark where you are laying out all the measurements, you note that the existing pieced top is 27" by 36" so far. But if the quilt top is made from 5" squares and there are 6 rows of 9, wouldn't it be 40.5" by 36"?
I am building my patchwork with this method and so far so good. However, I would suggest you take a photo of your layout to make sure you're staying on track with the design that you have picked.
Excited to start doing my new Christmas runners. I’m a new quilter and your tutorials are wonderful! Have plans for so many of your wonderful quilts. Without the tutorials I can watch anytime I probably would have given up. Thank you Sue
Beautiful quilt! I want to learn how to quilt. Please explain how to achieve the sewing stitching in the quilt that looks like trees, some call it stippling?
Your organization of managing pieces is so good to learn. That is one of the things I struggle with. Can’t wait to try your method one of my quilts. Thanks again Donna. You are the best teacher.
Thank you Donna! This is a beautiful quilt made so easy for us new girls by your great tuition and also the very skilful camera work - still the best team in the net! Happy New Year to you all at Jordan - you make our own New Years so much more fun! Would love to know how to purchase your fabrics in UK as the overseas postage is So high. Do you have an instruction video showing how to use your "UK Page ". I have tried but can't navigate through to "But Now" stage. Thank you for any help you or perhaps someone reading this in UK can offer!
Hi Donna I haven't been quilting very long so any tips are really useful, I also live in the UK and to be honest quilting isn't very popular over here, although it is getting better. I love that tip of chain stitching the whole quilt, I keep putting the squares in the wrong place but now you have shown me a better way so in future I will be chain stitching not just the rows but the whole quilt. I love the quilts they are beautiful and I agree the bear is rather cute. Thank you Donna I do enjoy your videos. Laura
i would say it's increased in popularity a lot in the last two decades. As in most things, it goes through cycles. I live in the middle of nowhere and there are two great groups locally. When I first started about 25 years ago, there was nowhere near the choice available now for fabric or tools, then again, it was a LOT cheaper.
Donna I love your technique I hope I can use this technique on my next quilt really love this quilt I have made a similar pattern before but your technique makes it so easy. Thank you so much
I recently found your videos and I have to say, "I Love Them!" You are so talented and an excellent teacher. Thank you very much. I would love to someday actually visit your shop!
Donna, where have you been all of my quilting life? :0) What a revelation! I have been quilting for a good amount of time, but this is a show stopper. OMG, totally excited to see how you put this together! I am wowed!
Another great tutorial. I never thought of not clipping the threads and sew together using your method. Takes a little getting use to, but I can tell I will love it. Practice makes perfect. Thank you.
Love your videos and the way you display your quilts. Would like to know the price of the total materials used in the quilts. How would one go about purchasing similar fabrics?
I wish you had shown adding the batting and the backing. The quilt tops are easy to make, it's the rest that is a bit more complicated especially with limited space too.
I love your videos!! You have provided so many helpful hints and tricks! I have seen you doing this before and I tried it - GAME CHANGER - LIFE CHANGING!!! Thank you so much!! Looking forward to paying you guys a visit when the weather breaks. Im here in Eugene/Springfield, OR
Lovely! Do lucky yo just breeze thru the shop and pick from a whole room full of bolts!!! Blessed! I am on the other side of the US,(SC)! No shop like yours around! How I wish you could sell your "scrapes by the pound" online! My passion is scrappy projects! I end up scavenging thrift stores for shirts,skirts,curtains,anything to recycle to get different stash elements! Thanks for your knowledge and teaching in simple instructions!
I loved this little quilt. My neighbor has two boys and they just moved up here in the mountains. These little animals were perfect. But! This is the second time I have fallen in love with a quilt and the kit. The last one was the "For the love of log cabins, the Driftwood" The kits no longer exist. So sad. I love your videos, your quilts and the fabric combinations. Keep up the wonderful work. Maybe one day I will catch the right pattern and fabric just right.
You're amazing. I watch your videos all the time. You inspire me. I'm a dressmaker, not a quilter, but I have learned lots of little tips from watching your videos, which help me with my dressmaking. Thank you! I'll keep watching!
I am making the charm pack quilt from your video and wondered if you have a video of how to do the back? I found your video on borders and binding. It looks like you cut the fabric into three pieces and sewed it together from your little diagram in the video. I also am so happy I found your videos this week. Your calm encouragement really makes me think I can do it!! Thank you.
Just finished this quilt top with sone charm squares I had been saving. Mine are very colorful and I alternated them with a tonal white. It came out really sweet. I used a dotted print for the 2.5” border and the same white on the 6” border, since I couldn’t get to the quilt shop, and the fabric I ordered online didn’t really work. The white border was a little overwhelming, so I cut it down about an inch. Looks better. Am using some of the fabric I ordered for the border as a center panel on the back. I’ve never done this before, but again the fabric I ordered wasn’t quite right, so used the fabric I ordered for the border as the center panel on the back. New experience and technique for me. Very easy and fun to make. Am planning on making more quick tops like this, since our local fabric stores are closed and I have other really cute cheerful fabric collections. Thanks for the video and explanation. Have learned a lot by watching.
What am I doing wrong. I would like to enter the give away but I don't see anywhere I can ENTER! Also want to send pictures of projects i have made by watching your tutorials. Love your classes. You get right to the point and your directions are very clear.
You can always enter the current giveaway on our website here: jordanfabrics.com/pages/giveaway-1 You can send pictures to us at info@jordanfabrics.com
I am looking for videos to learn how to quilt, your video was very informative and helpful until you got near the end...please show how you put the borders on and how you attached the trim around the edges.and added the backing.thanks
I love your tutorials. I am a beginner quilter and I can follow along real well with your teachings. You're not like some that talk and talk and talk before they get down to teaching you get right to the point you explain everything you even point out the mistakes that you make and how we can make them better you are really down to earth if I ever get to Grants Pass I'm coming to your shop. I have ordered some materials from y'all and made a couple table runners and I do have some mistakes in them but I'm learning and you are a great teacher in Matt cuts the materials so perfectly. Thanks for taking your time and showing us and teaching us and making it feel like we're right there with you.
I hate to ask a dumb question, but your diagram of the back does that mean one large piece and u split the other in two? I’m new at quilting.❤️ love watching your videos.
Yes, you split the smaller piece in half (along the fold line that is created when the fabric is on the bolt) and then stitch the two halves together making a longer piece. Then stitch this onto the larger fabric.
Love this quick quilt. Come back to it often. I know this video is a few years old but I am interested in knowing where the table the machine you are using is from? I really like it.
such precious fabrice, and a very quick quilt. love it and all your toots. Thanks Donna !! BTW I learned a tip years ago and I marked yellow flower head pins with # from 1 - 25 those pins stay at the top of each row on the left corner representing the 'do not sew to' spots. it works great
Hi Donna love watching you create and sew you're such a "whizz" and a pleasure. I have purchased a variety of fabric with the "FROZEN" theme and was hoping to make my little 3 yr old grand daughter an amazing quilt and pillow. Would you be kind enough to recommend a patter design I could use to make this extra special. By the way I just love this "Forest" theme. Thanks again I'm from Melbourne Australia...cheers
Great tutorial on putting your rows together! I've never done it this way, and don't know how many times I've sewn a row upside down and had to rip it out and do it again! Thanks for the great tip!
Oh Donna, You understand us so well. Keeping them all on the thread is awesome for me. I'm always in a hurry thinking I have everything perfect. I'm wrong half the time and this step will help me a lot! By the way, I have over 50 great nephew's and nieces. Someone always needs a quilt. Whew! I just started about 4 years ago about! And man I have made so many darn quilts. 59 and I will be quilting till I die!!! I originally was looking for newborn quilts to give to my local hospital. This helps a lot. Thank-You Donna, you're a treasure to say the least!!!!!
I never thought of keeping the sewn rows together! Fantastic.
Adorable quilt, any mother would love that in her baby's room. Thanks for sharing.
I watch your tutorials every morning. We are wintering in Texas but plan to use my fat quarter to make a quilt when I go home, since I do not have a sewing machine here. You make everything look so easy.
Hard to choose, but really love the blue one😊 Donna, once more you’ve excelled yourself.
I love the way both quilts turned oout. They look so easy to put together.
Baby quilts are so fun to make. These two are very sweet. Love your teaching!
A great pattern, my son is going to make one of these with your transportation squares!!!
Awesome tutorials
Watching your videos get me so excited want to do them all great job.
Great job. Both turned out beautiful. Love your method of laying everything out and sewing it together. Thank you very much!
This is how I lay out my scrap rag quilts, I even use the paper numbers!
Darling quilts with excellent instruction.
Awesome ......great tutorial lovely fabrics
Thank you for making sewing so simple!!
Love your videos!
So very cute!
Very cute!
Donna Jordan you are just too smart! You take great videos and you don't talk too much about nothing and lose my attention. I love your videos!! I love your quilts and you make things look so simple! I wish we could sit down and have coffee! Good job!
Yes I appreciate that you’re not unnecessarily chatty. That makes the videos easier to follow for newbies like me!
Yours work so brilliant Allah blessed you
The best tutorials ever without raving on, always to the point and so organised. I’m addicted to your videos. 👍🏻 thanks Donna and Matt, wonderful team work. 👏
I so love your tutorials as a new quilter you teach in a way that is easy to follow. I so wish I lived closer so I could visit your shop
Just re watching this after a while and realized it's just one quarter of the around the world quilt she did around Christmas time.
Donna Jordan is fantastic. Her tutorials are #1. You are so calm and easy to understand. ❤️
Your tutorials are wonderful. I wonder what sewing machine you are using....?
I love this look but i have jelly roll strips. Would i be able to do something similar?
I love your tutorials! Your matter-of-fact calmness encourages me so much!💕
What are some ideas with charm squares? Quilt patterns.
Why anyone would ever give you a thumbs down is beyond me. Your tutorials are educational and motivational. I wish there were enough hours in the days to make them all!
I didn't understand that either.Its a lot of rude people in this world.I love her tutorials
They might not have liked the pattern or the colours I suppose. I think it’s awesome and of course her tutorials are amazing.
I just recently found your channel and I'm addicted to the videos! I love every quilt that I've seen you make on the videos. You are very talented. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us. 😊🌹
You are so organized with your cutting, piecing, sewing, and pressing. That means we don’t have to wait very long for the next step. Your videos are so easy to watch. I don’t get anxious for the next step. You love what you do and that’s contagious.

OMG Donna! I had the basic design in my head, but your layout and chain piecing method blew my mind. Thank you!!
The organization instructions for how to put this together are brilliant.
powderriverfarrier ii
I think a pattern on your pin cushion would be pretty cool! I think it's super cute!
I am building my patchwork with this method and so far so good. However, I would suggest you take a photo of your layout to make sure you're staying on track with the design that you have picked.

I love your videos and impatiently wait for each new one!👍
I like seeing your process and thoughts when you show your quilts. Thanks.
is the quilting design you used a digital pattern or is that free hand? Loved it. I hope it is a digital design I can purchase?
Beautiful quilt! I want to learn how to quilt. Please explain how to achieve the sewing stitching in the quilt that looks like trees, some call it stippling?

Great idea for a fast and easy baby quilt! Thanks for the video.
Love your tutorials. You are so very inspiring to me. You get me sewing! I have made several quilts from your tutorials.
I love your videos so much . You do not talk so much you show us how to put it together for beginners.
Always love your tutorials, even on a simple pattern. I learn something new or find a new approach every time. Thank you!

Laura Nicholls if you are on Facebook there are a few UK groups. Good ones.
i would say it's increased in popularity a lot in the last two decades. As in most things, it goes through cycles. I live in the middle of nowhere and there are two great groups locally. When I first started about 25 years ago, there was nowhere near the choice available now for fabric or tools, then again, it was a LOT cheaper.
Could you demonstrate a “Boston Commons” quilt?
Can't make any promises, but I'll add it to my list!
Donna I love your technique I hope I can use this technique on my next quilt really love this quilt I have made a similar pattern before but your technique makes it so easy. Thank you so much
I recently found your videos and I have to say, "I Love Them!" You are so talented and an excellent teacher. Thank you very much. I would love to someday actually visit your shop!
Gracias muy hermoso
I absolutely love the process you used here!! LOVE IT! Thank you :)
Very organized way to keep the rows straight. Thx for the tips! Your videos are great.
Donna, where have you been all of my quilting life? :0) What a revelation! I have been quilting for a good amount of time, but this is a show stopper. OMG, totally excited to see how you put this together! I am wowed!
I don’t understand why do everyone just make baby quilts. What about a shawl?
Lovely! Absolutely lovely!
9/6/2020. Guess my kids don't know about social distancing. Need 3 baby quilts by Jan and May. Oh well. Hope I get them done.
Another great tutorial. I never thought of not clipping the threads and sew together using your method. Takes a little getting use to, but I can tell I will love it. Practice makes perfect. Thank you.
So nice, simple, yet so beautiful. Am going to do this one, for sure.
I just love the way you teach, very clear and informative, I am going to make this for my Grandaughter
Love your videos and the way you display your quilts. Would like to know the price of the total materials used in the quilts. How would one go about purchasing similar fabrics?
It could make a dog or cat quilt for them to lay on. The senior ones. I work with them
Donna, not well explained, 'what your plan was, what the goal was--
'nice, it turned out, but 'really, not much of a "lesson plan" here.
Hi Donna, trying to find how to purchase those charm squares and fabric on your page, can you please help me. Thank you
The best online quilting tutorials!! I wish I lived near your shop.
I wish you had shown adding the batting and the backing. The quilt tops are easy to make, it's the rest that is a bit more complicated especially with limited space too.
👏👏👍

So cute and simple, Donna. I looked for the charm pack on your website but couldn’t find it. Will this be available as a video bundle?
Looking for a really cute baby crib size quilt. Found it.
Have the charm squares, thanks for the great instructions!!
The inter border what size to cut. 2 1/2 ?
Beautiful! The backing did you have to piece the backing or does the full 2 yards fabric fit the backing. Thanks
You need to piece the backing.
Could you give me the measurements for the pieced backing? Didn’t do to well in geometry!😜
What a great quilt. I’ve been getting neck aches from cutting. I love these Fabrics too.
such precious fabrice, and a very quick quilt. love it and all your toots. Thanks Donna !! BTW I learned a tip years ago and I marked yellow flower head pins with # from 1 - 25 those pins stay at the top of each row on the left corner representing the 'do not sew to' spots. it works great
