Orange was really pretty...loved the vibrancy.....BUT, my absolute favorite.....BLACK!! It really makes the colors pop!! I really enjoy watching, and learning, from your videos. I am a beginner, in fact, I am just finishing up my 3rd quilt. Never too old to learn....I just turned 70!
Donna, this is a fun tutorial. I love that you brought the viewer in and walked us through the process of picking a background fabric. All of those backgrounds worked. My preference is the bright yellow. The black background fabric worked beautifully with the color of the quilting thread. As always, thank you for sharing these wonderful tutorials and free patterns.
I love these TH-cam videos from Jordan fabric. They don’t skip a lot of steps and they teach you what to with leftover fabric. They get right to the point. Unlike most videos, there is usually No music before, during or after the videos. I let them play all night long and I don’t have worry about loud music and sounds at the beginning of each new video waking up my husband. Well, there are the commercials, but I skip them ASAP.
I also love the fact that she doesn't try to be a celeb like so many others on here. As you say, they have to do all their cutesy self-promotion for the first ten minutes, then rush through the instructions. I'm too old to enjoy antics. Donna has the experience, too, which many up-and-comers lack. I look forward to each new video from her, and often recommend her to my friends who prefer substance to giggles and vapor.
$11.99 per month and you will never get a commercial again. I absolutely love TH-cam premium. I personally watch more TH-cam than cable TV. It’s my “budget” for my entertainment. Love Donna too!
My favorite background is the orange! It's got so much energy to donate to the look, and the blocks seem to jump off the background as a result. Thank you so much for all these wonderful quilts!
Hi Donna I am big fan of you isee every tutorials of you and try to make some thing I am from India I like you so much I wish to meet you I would like the orange back ground ❤️❤️❤️
I would have picked the orange too. The orange gives it a Caribbean look. Thanks for the pattern. I have these charms so off to the sewing room I go 😌.
Please can you tell me how big are the blocks when you start the project, because I have material so I can cut it my self? I love the blue , but the black brings the colour all out!
I liked the bright orange! I like bright colors (my wife, not so much). I love Donna and Matt’s videos! I’ve learned so much from watching about new ideas!
I immediately thought “black” when you were holding the bolts but after you laid them out I was surprised to see that orange was so beautiful with the blocks! Orange it is!
So for me, I really jived with the light blue batik print! I thought Donna would pick that one because she came alive when talking about it and how pleasantly surprised she was with how it set off the blocks. She had me convinced! And I thought she would go that way. I almost turned off the video when she went with the black. Boo hoo! 😣🙃
What a great tutorial Donna! I especially thank you for showing how to measure background, sides, and corners. The Mix & MATCH QUILT Is fabulous! That black background really stood out to me as one of your brightest quilts yet! It just popped! Thank you for for the best tutorials! You're amazing! This West Texas gal is learning so much from you! P.S. Love your nails! You have such pretty hands and your nails are painted to compliment the quilt colors! Keep up the good work! You and Matt are making such a difference to so many through your work!! God bless y'all!
The orange background said “kid’s quilt” to me, but thought black was best. The blue seemed “eh” to me. Wonderful that you explained how to calculate setting, corner and side setting pieces! You’re a fantastic teacher.
Hi Donna just love love love watching you work have been quilting since 1997 and still find that I can learn something new every day, I live in Western Australia regards Rosalie.
Finally, those side and corner triangles explained! Thank you! I love the quilt and have planned on making something similar for a long time - so thank you for the free pattern, too! 🥰
When I first saw a thumbnail of this quilt, I was hooked. I recently ordered some yardage of black fabric to use in a background for a colorful quilt, but I saw this, and was in love. Thank you so much for the beautiful design, and the instructions .
Just made this with 10" squares cut from yardage instead of a charm pack and it is stunning! 4 batiks in the diamonds and black and gold batik for the background.
Black background makes each block into a jewel, well displayed. I will definitely download this for future use! What a wonderful video, thank you! This one will be so much fun!
Another absolutely perfect tutorial with no skipped steps, Donna is simply the best Quilting Teacher I’ve found on TH-cam. No offense to Jenny with Missouri Star Quilt Company, I love her too, but Donna just seems better like I could actually sit down for hours and just learn and Quilt. And after much deliberation I have decided The Black is my choice, it’s goes with everything, and makes the Quilt have a more polished look. Thank you Donna 👍😃
Jenny's a great business woman but she couldn't sew a straight line when she first started. Ever noticed in her old videos? And she always seems to be in a hurry. Donna is much more enjoyable to me, and her experience and hints make a big difference when watching. Not to mention being in her shop with all those luscious colors.
I would have chosen the blue background but the black is stunning! I love how you show quilts in different fabric options. It’s amazing how different they look.
Black absolutely! Just yesterday I bought my first fabric from your shop. You saved my day I was looking for a Kaufman batik I could not find anywhere until I went on your website. I'm so happy, now I can finish my quilt!
This is gorgeous. I so appreciate you explaining set in triangle math. And absolutely adore the table runner. Love the bright yellow 'bubbles' quilting... Just perfect! Thank you so much for this one! 🌸
This is the second u tube video of hours I have watched this morning I didn’t see the first quilt I watched listed but just wanted to say how beautiful the quilt was it was done in Moda which is my favorite line of fabric!! What a great job!!
I made the mix and match quilt. Watch the video and I just Love it. I bought the same colors that you used in the video. It came out great. I put orange as the backing some that is me grandsons favorite color. Donna is so great on showing you how to put a quilt together. Donna is the best Have a great day
I love them all but wow does it change the effectiveness of the patchwork. I think I like the blue pattern one. Lovely tutorial as always. Thank you Donna
Hi Donna-Love the quilt but I'm into table runners right now. Was waiting for you to talk about the table runner pictured. Love all of your videos and all that you teach us everyday-you are the best. Pat Wahl
It was great to see you use something other than a light background... the black really makes the colors pop! I make quilts to use, and light colors stain so easily with kids and pets, lol.
Deborah, there are also lots of free charts available on the internet which list both the setting triangles (i.e. the ones down the sides) and the corner triangles, for quilt block sizes from small to large -- usually in increments of 1/4", so it will cover any size blocks that you'd like to put on point. The math has already been done for you!
Learned so much from this video!!! Thank you so much for breaking it all down for us! I always look forward to your videos and the beautiful quilts you make!
I have been watching your video's for a while and I rarely choose the same color you do for quilting, my inexperience, this is the 1st time I chose the same color you did. Love your video's, I have learned a lot.
I'm with you Donna, black was my fav with white after that. As always, you've blessed us with another intriguing pattern and tutorial. Thanks so much and appreciate it. 😊
I'm new to making quilts (just finished my first!) but I LOVE your videos! Showing how to select colors and fabrics, doing the borders and binding (that was an awesome video too!) and giving so many great tips and tricks I know helps people at all levels. Thank you!
This has to be my all time favorite quilt. I can't wait to copy it, it's beautiful. I would go with the black. You can come up with beautiful combinations and you make it look easy, even for beginners. thank you.
I was glad to see you pinning the rows together and do it row by row. I had a directional quilt I "LEARNED" that on. I was trying to save trips to where they were laid out. My seam ripper had quite a work out. Pin, sew, return, next row. a very good time and mistake saving idea.
Wouldn't it be fun to hang out at the quilt shop with Donna as she doès a tutorial!
She is so talented.
I like them all but lean a bit towards the blue. Thanks for your tutorials; I learn so much from you and love all your quilts.
I would never leave- have food delivered!!!
@@gerrimcleod5217 I agree with your comment, 100%!
Yes that is a dream of mine every time we drive through Grant's Pass
I would love to sit and sew with her for a weekend.
I love the light blue
My first choice would be black but that orange was very cool 😎
I would be the light blue - love it ⭐️
Orange was really pretty...loved the vibrancy.....BUT, my absolute favorite.....BLACK!! It really makes the colors pop!! I really enjoy watching, and learning, from your videos. I am a beginner, in fact, I am just finishing up my 3rd quilt. Never too old to learn....I just turned 70!
Orange and black were my favourite backgrounds. You will notice that I put an extra "u" in favourite... Hello from Canada! Love you Donna!
Like the blue print background
I like the blue the best.
I like both the blue and the black backgrounds.
Donna, this is a fun tutorial. I love that you brought the viewer in and walked us through the process of picking a background fabric. All of those backgrounds worked. My preference is the bright yellow. The black background fabric worked beautifully with the color of the quilting thread. As always, thank you for sharing these wonderful tutorials and free patterns.
You, our dear Donna, are a TREASURE!!
Love the orange! Makes it look very Mexican for some reason. Beautiful in all colour ways, but def orange for me☺️Thanks Donna 💕🇦🇺
Hello from Geraldton Western Australia
Очень интересно
I like the orange as well!!
I have learned so much from Donna. If she lived in my town, I’d make her be my best friend.
Me too Rhonda.
She would be my best friend!!!! 😍😍😍
I was thinking the same thing! Lol
Ditto. I would love to trek across the country and meet her and go to their shop!
@Rhonda M. Well, then I think YOU could be MY best friend if we lived in the same town! 😄
I would do the orange, and I don't even like orange 😁 but that was very beautyful. 😊
Black is my favorite! Those vibrant colors show their personality with the background. 😊
Black, definitely! The patchwork looks like jewels.
I love these TH-cam videos from Jordan fabric. They don’t skip a lot of steps and they teach you what to with leftover fabric. They get right to the point.

@@lucygray6162 Yes. There is nothing that is fake looking or sounding about her.
@@TerriRomano I think the more people that they get to pay for these services the more likely the free services will go away.
I agree
My favorite background is the orange! It's got so much energy to donate to the look, and the blocks seem to jump off the background as a result. Thank you so much for all these wonderful quilts!
Hi Donna I am big fan of you isee every tutorials of you and try to make some thing I am from India I like you so much I wish to meet you I would like the orange back ground ❤️❤️❤️

I liked the orange
I would’ve definitely picked the black background also. Really makes those blocks pop.
Definitely the best choice. The orange was a close second!
The black adds pop to the bright colors
Black looks the best!
Please can you tell me how big are the blocks when you start the project, because I have material so I can cut it my self?
I love the blue , but the black brings the colour all out!
@@antoinettefarrugia6820 Donna uses charm squares. Those are 5 inches.
I like the orange background. I bet variegated thread would be pretty.
I enjoy your tutorials. thank you❤
I liked the bright orange! I like bright colors (my wife, not so much). I love Donna and Matt’s videos! I’ve learned so much from watching about new ideas!
Love the look of the turquoise background. Also like the black.
Wooooooh! Turquoise would would be a stunner!
)l
I love the orange. What a beautiful quilt. Yummmmm
Love that orange!!! Thanks for the pattern, I hope to use it someday.
Its avery beautiful and colourful quilt Donna...I love both the orange and black.
Black, by all means!
The orange background would make IT brighter. Absolutely I prefer this. Congratulations from ARGENTINA
Your tutorials are amazing, easy to understand. Your quilts are just stunning. Thank you.
I too, love the Orange. It’s so bright and cheerful and quite unique.😉
The orange is so cheery and bright. Very blended, too.
But...the black looks like a velvet setting for the jewel tone squares...love it!
I like the orange first, then the black. Very nice colorful quilt.
I like the darker background it really makes it pop. You are awesome. I download pretty much all your videos. Thank you for your lessons.
Orange background was my favorite with the blue thread for quilting. Great job on both teaching and quilt designing.
I think I would go with the blue background. It's again a super nice quilt. Thanks Donna.
I immediately thought “black” when you were holding the bolts but after you laid them out I was surprised to see that orange was so beautiful with the blocks! Orange it is!
Orange is perfect.

I think Donna is a great Teacher as I am learning how to quilt and am enjoying the process.
Donna, you make me fall in love with quilting every time.
It’s been a long cold spring, so the orange really made me smile and feel summer hope. They are all beautiful.
I would pick the orange

I'm going to play odd man out and suggest a nice gray! Lovely pattern...Thank you Donna Jordan!!
I love grey
Outstanding, Donna!. On point, bold blocks, batiks and on a black background all make this a winner winner, chicken dinner! Yeah!
The black was the best choice for me for the background. Beautiful quilt Donna.
I don't know why, but i'm really partial to the blue background, but all are so pretty!
The blue leafy fabric is my pick for background. It seems soothing.
The orange background said “kid’s quilt” to me, but thought black was best. The blue seemed “eh” to me.
Wonderful that you explained how to calculate setting, corner and side setting pieces! You’re a fantastic teacher.

So pleased you picked the black background. This is a lovely cheerful pattern. I wonder how it would look with Kaffe Fasset fabrics.
Was wondering the same thing. I have some many of his charm packets.....I think they will look as beautiful!
I think it’d look sumptuous
Oh wow I love these colours but it would have to the orange background for me.
Thank you for another brilliant tutorial xx
Black background makes each block into a jewel, well displayed. I will definitely download this for future use! What a wonderful video, thank you! This one will be so much fun!
the orange and black each made the patches show up more. if I had my wish it would be to spend a day watching Donna work

I really like the pattern on the blue, I'm not a black background person. Just love the colors on the blocks.
Black absolutely! Just yesterday I bought my first fabric from your shop. You saved my day I was looking for a Kaufman batik I could not find anywhere until I went on your website. I'm so happy, now I can finish my quilt!
Me encanta en negro, me gustan mucho los videos de Jordan fabrics. Gracias por compartir .❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗😘

The orange background would make an absolutely stunning quilt but the black is more calming and makes all the colors shine.
Orange for me too. It was so vibrant.
I have a random set of three charm packs that have been sitting around forever! Now I know what to do with them 😊
Donna you are a wonderful teacher. I love watching you.

I would have chosen black. I love the colors of this one, my favorite so far👍 I find these videos so relaxing to watch😊
I would actually use the orange background. It was bright, cheery and VERY colorful! Love your quilts!!
I love the blue one, I’ve just started quilting and your patterns and tutorials are amazing. Thank you so much Donna for sharing your talent.

What an amazing quilt Donna. I really enjoy your thorough tutorials 😚😚 Love from Melbourne, Australia ❤
I prefer th black. I really enjoy your tutorials I have learned so much in just a short time
Love the orange background with those bright colours!
My immediate background thought was also black, but was surprised that I liked the subtle blue as well.
I use black a lot to make colors stand out, but I am really attracted to the orange option here-
My favorite is the black background. And thank you for explaining how to calculate side and corner triangles.
My daughter and I were loudly voting for black at the TV screen just now. And we’re so happy to see this was your pick, too! 😊
I like the Orange background, it just pops-so bright and cheery :-)
Learned so much from this video!!! Thank you so much for breaking it all down for us! I always look forward to your videos and the beautiful quilts you make!

Yay!!! Love when you post a new video!
Fantastic way to pin the rows together so you don't get mixed up and sew the blocks in the wrong order. Awesome pattern. Thanks - great video. 😊

Great camera work as usual. Donna got another manicure at half-time.
😄
Losing my mind trying to keep track of the manis.
Oh my God I love this pattern and because I'm a freak for batik fabric this is going to be a fun project for me.
Go to Dashing Diva website for nails. My daughter wears these and says they last about 5 days.
@@dottiepark My nail tech is now used to me showing her screen shots I take of Donna's nails! She inspires me on so many levels! 🤗🤗
You should make a kit for the table runner! I’d definitely buy it! :)
I really like the blue!! Whatever you decide to use I'm sure will look lovely .
I like the blue with the small print for the background! Thanks for showing us how different each looks ❤ your tutorials!!! Videos are very well done.
