Thank you Wendy! So much great information in your video today. I’m a newbie so today’s information was helpful to me.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you found it helpful. What did you find most helpful?
Understanding that the milling process is different on high end and low end fabric. Also how to test if Cambridge is 100% cotton or if it’s a polyester blend. I never thought about fabric catchers. My first quilt was from mask material that was pre-washed, cut to 9” x 7” from a quilter who donated fabric so I could make masks fit my community.
Wendy, I really enjoy your very informative videos on quilting. I have been sewing and crocheting since I was 6 years old.
Never, have I even attempted making a quilt. However, I really want to!😉
I have collected 4 different jelly rolls, mixture of fat quarters, several rotary blades, various rulers, 2 cotton hospital blankets for batting and I think that I might be ready now. ......I'm excited and terrified at the same time, if that makes any sense.
Which pattern would you suggest that I begin with?
You've got this!!!! I'm so excited for you. ❤️
I would start with something small like a baby quilt. My first quilt after HS was a log cabin. I always consider that a good starting quilt. I have a couple log cabin quilt videos, on requires a special ruler, and the other uses a Jelly roll. Enjoy!!!
@@WendyJHaney thank you for your encouraging words. I TOOK THE PLUNGE!
Blue jeans and half of a jelly roll. Finished size measures 78"×66"
Cutting out the 6.5" squares was the most time consuming part of it. I opted out on binding the edges and chose to surge the finished edges instead. Wendy, the quilt from the first cut to the very last stitch......only took me 3 days. Approximately 16 hours.
I wish that I knew how to show you my finished quilt. 💙
