Full Reveal of EPIC Project - Women of the Bible Quilt
A random email reminded me of this wonderful project so let's enjoy some show-n-tell as I share the story of my Women of the Bible Quilt. For many years, the popular hangout online was in Yahoo Groups, and the Women of the Bible Quilt was one of many sew-alongs happening in that space. This video shares details of my process making the quilt and choosing a layout for the 52 blocks.

Andi, I would just love to make one! YOU did a wonderful job and the colors are lovely.
@@JeanMcDoniel thanks! Reach out to beaquilter.com - Bea has made a couple versions and she may have details on the pattern.
Oh Andi! This is magnificent! So beautiful! A real work of art and heart. Simply in love with it. ❤❤❤
@@SewMagic-SewMagical thanks. I am so pleased with it 😍
I have a once a week sew day and on two of the days I work on the group project we are doing at the time. The other two days I work on making backs and pinning some projects. So far this year (2024) I have finished 34 projects 🎉 YEA
34 finishes?!? That’s terrific! I have logged 14 quilts on my longarm so far this year😅
Awesome idea and quilt AND being an International endeavor! ❤
The quilt inspired a family trip to Europe. Such great memories 😍
Very impressive! Beautiful work! ❤
@@nancysharon931 thank you! We learn so much from sampler projects 😍
Wow what a nice quilt and nice to hear that I am not the only one with UFOs 🤣💕
@@giselaa6111 I am a fantastic quilt starter😜
Beautiful! Great memories for you also ❤
@@juliegolub2602 thanks! Yes, I treasure the memories 😍
Looks good
@@annteem2839 thanks! I’m thinking about another holiday version with gnomes! 💙🎉💙
B
@@giselaa6111 B is my Jelly Star block! So fun to make with 2 1/2” strips 🎉
Don’t we love Jack but sometimes it’s too much ❤
@@giselaa6111 lesson learned…Check the layout early and often!
😢 Been there, done that. I feel your pain. But hey, don't be too hard on Jack, he's great friend to have around
Ditto. Great colors though!❤
@@SewMagic-SewMagical so true. Jack is very dependable 😂
@@miric6224 you’d think a nine patch block would be simple!
Me too! I’m getting better and better with the seam ripper😁😁😁😲😲
@@sandybruce9092 good skill to have, but I wish I didn’t need the practice 😜
❤ thank you for sharing your video. I'm glad to see your free motion.
@@barbarastuart5675 thanks for watching! I’ll record my next longarm project for more inspiration 💙🎉💙
Love love love it!
@@chi2tan thank you! I love adding asymmetrical elements to borders 💙🎉💙
I really like the suggestions. I'm going to try the rail fence
@@terryblair966 that’s great! What colors?
That's incredible ❤

Beautiful ❤
@@user-qv1mf2lp6v it was a fun project!
Ohhhh I love what you did with your snippets👏👏👏❤️😀
@@rachelburgener819 thank you! I have a compulsion to use every bit of fabric they sent me, so I will be making more 😍
Pretty but not clear on the sizes cut for each square especially on the small squares. Pretty work😊
@@rosaredondo1598 i made my squares as big as the fabric scraps allowed! It was an improv adventure 💙🎉💙
This is so pretty -I’d like to try it!
@@TheTravlingirl the full pattern is on my website and you can learn to make the Star block from this video How to make a LeMoyne Star Quilt Block with half-square triangles czcams.com/video/QbgDpdNjAwY/video.html
Great Andi thank you ❤
@@giselaa6111 thanks for watching Gisela! Hope you are having fun quilting!
The last time I counted I had 43.
@@maryjohnston-ei5dn sounds like me! I can piece a top quickly then it might be YEARS before I finish it!
I have just found you. I also like pre cuts....Jelly Rolls and Layer Cakes. I started quilting again after 15 years. My Hubby gave me a Kaffe 475QE Bernina for my birthday in March. I have finished 4 baby quilts and 4 large lap quilts. Thank you for your tutorials 💓 I am looking forward to learn with you about pre cuts.
@@JeanMcDoniel what a great birthday present! Here’s a video about precuts - Top 5 Jelly Roll-Friendly Patterns czcams.com/video/qThJnt97U7U/video.html
@@TrueBlueQuilts yep that's the first thing that I watched, hehehe 😆
Thank you so much for this sewing tip by explaining about thinking about someone's legs. I'm left-handed and this REALLY helped me keep each angle consecutive as l moved down the border.❤
@@francaroon9986 I’m so glad it’s helpful! Binding can be tricky but it’s that last necessary step. You got this!
Thank you. I am about to do a pizza box quilt challenge where we have to do two blocks a month for others and there is a lady I don't like so I want something easy. Ha ha ha I think the rail fence variations will be perfect.
@@colleend2977 thanks for watching! What colors are you using for your rail fence? Choosing fabrics is such fun! 💙🎉💙
Thank you , it is beautiful I will make it soon ❤👏🏻
@@NgaTran-hm8zu thanks for watching! Which pattern are you using?
Beautiful quilts! Thanks for sharing! Subscribing!
Thanks for watching! Welcome to the True Blue Crew 💙🎉💙
Congratulations! I’m still working on my first quilt of the year! In my “defense,” it’s a complicated and huge quilt; but still! I’m piecing the last border. Maybe soon???!!!! 😊
Thanks and congrats to you! Getting to the borders is a huge accomplishment
Wow. Lots done this half year. Would love to see a longarm segment.
And 6 of the 15 projects are done! I really need to spend more time at the longarm so I will figure out some good camera angles and give that a try soon.
I love these. I started my goals for the year in May and it is also about finishing UFO's and using up fabric that I purchased. I am also not buying fabric unless it is to make binding or add a backing. Your finishes are inspiring!
Thanks for watching! I try to shop my stash first for any new project. Good thing scrappy quilts are my favorite 😂
That’s really cool. Wonderful short. I love it.
Thanks! I love designing new quilts and playing with block layouts!
I like using the rectangle instead, but I’ll still do it scrappy. Thank you
Enjoy! Thanks for watching 💙🎉💙
Love your quilt but i know it would be too much challenge for my brain and patience
I want to make a three color version next. Debating between black or navy blue as the background…
Beautiful Quilts and fabric really enjoy the little different blocks thank you ❤
Thanks Gisela! Hope you’re enjoying lots of sewing time 🎉🎉🎉
Beautiful quilt! Thank you for sharing. ❤
Thanks for watching! Happy Quilting 💙🎉💙
at 32 ros would that be the size for a bed ?
No, it makes a small quilt, a good size for cuddling on the couch.
My Air Force travels were all on Lackland Air Force Base, basic training then off to the north end for Tech school then kicked out for being me aka gay.
I am so sorry your service was cut short!
Checkerboard and probably stars.
The checkerboard would be a fun scrap-buster project! And you can’t go wrong with stars 💙🎉💙
Thank you for this tutorial. I have a panel…now I have the beginning of a plan! Appreciate your sharing!
I’m so glad it helped! Tell me about your panel - patriotic? Holiday? Gift for someone? Email or tag me on socials, I’d love to see pictures 💙🎉💙
Im thinking about coral how bout you?
Always blue skies in my mind 💙🎉💙
Get the June block, Gemini here truebluequilts.com/product/gemini-quilt-block-digital-pattern/
What size are you strips to start with they look about 3"
I used 2 1/2” strips for the Brick blocks. Find pattern information here: truebluequilts.com/product/jelly-roll-quilts/
The quilt shops that I go to are usually not in my community. It’s so much easier to buy a kit than buying fabric from a shop and run out or too much of a specialty fabric. When I travel I always buy a kits from the distant shops
Kits are a great choice if you have to travel a significant distance to a fabric store! Glad you are enjoying this hobby 🥰
I don't have anything against quilt kits, it isn't cheating, but I like to make quilts that don't look exactly like every one else's quilts, so I change up the fabric a little so it isn't so similar.
Adding at least one fabric of your own choice is a great way to personalize a kit 👏🏻
I love both! I found if I need pieces smaller than a fat 1/4 or a 1/2yd or even 1yd Im going to the fabric shops. You never know I might find something I like more. When I started quilting I worked in a quilt shop and you won’t believe it There were no kits (that was just a few days ago 😅)Any way I love both. One thing ILEARNED when you buy bundles buy the border and binding. That could be a problem. I learned the hard way 😮
I worked in a quilt shop before there were jelly rolls! 😂 Yes, definitely get border fabric with the collection right away. I can see how that might be hard to match after time has passed.
I love quilt kits
Kits are my new favorite thing! 🔥
I think computerized quilting is cheating. Especially when someone says I quilted my quilt. No you didn’t you “pieced” a quilt and the computer longarm “quilted” the quilt.
My longarm is hand guided, but I am very tempted by the computerized versions since my pile of UFOs has at least 25 tops in it! Whatever it takes to get a finished quilt is alright by me 💙🎉💙
Quilt kits? Can’t prewash them…a necessity in my mind… I only recently conceded to using a real quilt pattern instead of ‘making it up as I go along’ which takes a whole lot more time… I am getting old and have too many quilts left in me to make! Yet I am fascinated by the selection available in kits! Sew to your heart’s content, so long as you keep sewing!
The kits I’m making all have yardage so I could prewash…but I am too anxious to just start sewing 😂 That’s why I invest in Color Catchers 😜
