Simply beautiful as usual Jean. 😊❤

This is something anyone can make. Your technique to do strips is so time saving…unlike other videos. Liked and subscribed and will check out your other past videos. Found you by mistake😂❤️🇺🇸. Sewing the peel on is a good thing to do to pass a little time…a few at a time…”mindless sewing..”

Greeting who? Off planes?

Hi Jean! That's really pretty! I made one a couple years ago and cut around to make it round and then add ed d the binding.

Hey there! Gtrat job reading Maxwell! You're so handsome you look good with or without a beard! I like clean shaven, but what a pain it must be to have to have your face every day!

Another wonderful idea to use scraps and charms! Thank you for being an amazing teacher💕

Beautiful

I make quilts to be loved and enjoyed. I don't make show quilts. I can no longer do the hand work so everything including bindings is by machine. I think you do beautiful quilts. Quilting is to be enjoyed and shared.

I’m in Central Pa, Windsor twp. Too hot? Love the heat, going to hate when fall /winter arrives. I think it’s so funny, everyone complaining about the heat. It’s summer it’s suppose to be hot!

Omg, you been busy! Bless your soul-10 children! WOW

It’s six years later- and I just made a 3” square (1/2 sq triangle-over 500 of them) in all varieties of blues and white. I have that cutter too, but never used it.

Thank you so much. I tried this before and kept getting them wrong!! ( which I noticed when I was quilting it. Grrrr!!). So frustrating, so I copied the pattern you showed for the block. I will try it again.

I’ve been looking for a tutorial like this. I want to make this in satin. Thank you so much ❤

Love your ideas ...food for thought! I may try this. Never made a quilt but it looks easy when you show it❤. Thanks

Love this! Thank you for sharing.

Made one for a gift for 100 year old friend. This pattern is lovely and very different from the usual fold star. Fancy!

Just found you ,and am I ever glad !!! Love your quilt and hand embroidery and your colors, love to do these things too , I have been in a slump mostly because of my health ,cancer treatments and other things,to watch you and see your work encourages me to try to get back at my hand work and my machine thankyou and May God bless you and yours richly! Sandra from Michigan.

Thank you for this lovely tutorial. I find that I must try to make one for myself. You have made this so clear that I'm sure I can. Once again thank you.

Absolutely beautiful colors .and pattern..these would make gorgeous appliance covers ..toaster.etc..if made to fit ..thank you for making it where I can understand the patterns

Love scrappy

Good morning Jean, I am finally catching up on your videos Jean. It is lovely to have the time again sit and watch your videos. I have had surgery done on my veins (leg) and recovering slowly. Maxwell did a great job on Sharing is Caring, he should do more Jean, Hi Maxwell 👋. Making an Orange Peel quilt is a great idea. A couple of years ago I made a project bag for my knitting using Orange Peel blocks and I still have enough scraps to make a lap quilt. Thank you Jean for bringing the idea of an Orange Peel quilt and I love the blanket stitch you used for the applique. Unfortunately my machine does not blanket stitch, it has many others features except blanket 😢. Thank you Jean for sharing and look forward to see a finished O Peel quilt quilted by a master teacher. Blessings as always to you and all the Trueloves. Thelma ❤❤

Love this! I think it has to go on my TO DO list...❤

Beautiful quilt!

This is one of my favourite designs. So pretty

Love ❤

Great idea for scraps!!

Great idea. I love your creativity. I’ve thought of doing something similar to make smaller flower petals but use my cricut to cut the petals.

What a great idea Jean. this is one that I will definitely have a go at.

Jean I love your ideas I have learned alot from you thank you so much .keep going on with your great ideas.

What a great way to use up scraps. I’m all for the scrappy look. Thank you, Jean. Enjoy your convention. .

Bless you all for learning. ❤😊

So true Jean, you don't have to be certified to save a life. It helps, but not necessary. I got my first certification at 12 in school. I babysat a lot. I've been recertified several times. My daughter has been certified since she was 16. She worked in a summer camp. We've both had to use our training, with no skin barriers. As I posted, my daughter used her training ladt week. The most important step is assessing the situation, taking control... don't just yell to call for help, you point at a person and say "You, call 911", "You, get the AED", "Who can help". Sometimes, you do the actual CPR or choking alone. That's okay if help is coming. Adrenaline will keep you going. But, it's exhausting.

Sent you an email lol

Thanks for this tutorial!! My family will love these to use in their travel bags!!

Beautiful quilt but my scraps are small small and smaller lol the weather here is good we have a little obstacle till you that in the email i will send you picture of what i am working on have a great week looking forward in hearing from you

Jean, I was wondering as I was watching how it might look to appliqué a circle in the center where the where the orange peels come together making them appear to be a flower. 🌸

Great idea! Love it! Wonderful way to use up scraps!😊

There are many charities that take quilts. My Church makes quilts to our local shelter, and to our sister Church in Africa. Project Linus and your local hospitals need baby quilts for the preemies. I have my daughter's quilt that someone made. It made us feel like we weren't alone in our journey. I was told I would never have children. Went through the "change" at 26 years old! I thought there was no hope for a child. One day I woke with a horrible pain, went to the doctor. I had to take a pregnancy test to get a shot for something. Imagine my surprise when the doctor said "I'm so sorry, but your pregnant". I was really pregnant. I lost 5 babies in that one pregnancy, but we were able to keep 1. They knew I wouldn't carry to term. I was sewn shut, had a bunch of steroid shots, and went into labor 3 times. They were able to stop it. My daughter was born 2 months premature. She was 3 1/2 pounds, and 17 " long. She was so healthy, after 2 weeks in the NICU, we were able to bring her home. She wasn't 4 pounds yet. All we had was a crib that fell into our lives (another story), 1 package of diapers that didn't fit, and 1 package of diapers. That's all the doctor told us to get, just in case. The hospital sent home a bunch of tiny tubes with tiny nipples, formula, and a case of frozen breast milk from the mommies in the NICU. They noticed I wasn't nursing. Nothing happened there. They wanted to get her a gift. What a wonderful gift! My daughter took 45 ccs of formula every 3 hours, without fail, but for only 15 minutes. The cups on cold medicine are 60ccs, if that brings things into perspective. My daughter took 45 ccs! She's now grown, college educated, paid by many awards and academic scholarships. She has her Master's of Fine Arts, and has had a novel published. She graduated Magna Cum Laude. She will be getting her doctorate in history at some point. I'm so proud of her. She's one of those people with an 800 year old soul. Any volunteer project at church, she would sign us up. I can't believe that tiny baby, has grown into a beautiful young lady. And she's part of a sword fighting group! They're historically accurate weapons, with different armor, shields, or no armor. All 5' of my daughter spars with each person at renaissance faires. She's a crowd favorite! I'm incredibly proud of her. 😊❤ Somehow, that quilt brought back memories of my daughter. That's how her mind works. Nothing matching, no organization, yet whatever she's working on falls into place. ❤😊

What a beautiful and simple idea, thank you! Hope you’ve had a wonderful convention! Deb x 🤗

Dear Jean, what a great way to use up fabric scraps, (we all have them). It is coming together nicely. When I first saw the quilt I thought “oh no, curved seams” but thankfully not! I’m looking forward to seeing the the finished quilt. I hope you have a great week meeting new people for your convention. Love to the Trueloves 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Thank you for this! I love it ! I’m not intimidated by trying this 😊

Thank you for your tutorial! What an incentive to use up those left-over 5” and 6” squares!

Thank you Jean. I have wanted to make an orange peal quilt. I love the variety of fabrics you are using, they make an interesting palette of color. Please share as you progress. Thank you.

I love this idea! I have plenty of scraps to use up!

What a great way to use all of those scraps and I even know you will still have plenty more scraps for more projects, Thanks, Jean, for another great quilt.

Will the raw blanket stitched edges fray? Love this for scraps!!❤❤❤❤

Love the orange peel blocks! My mind goes to making a memory quilt using men’s cotton shirts-plaids and stripes-for the peels. I look forward to seeing how you will quilt yours when it’s time for that!

Do you know you can use used dryer sheets instead of interfacing? I iron my used dryer sheets then sew the star for my Christmas tree, slit the dryer sheet and flip it just like interfacing. No raw edge!

Lovely! I’ve just finished a king size orange peel quilt… just need to quilt it and add the binding. It’s a big one! 😃🌷

Lovely blocks....I know the quilt will be beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
