    I love these CZcams 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.

      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!

Some how I stumbled over your page. I started watching. All those colors and your voice and the way you bring out those beautiful patterns out of something so plane, it made me think how God could take my plane life and give it to him, he would make it so wonderful. I started watching and slowly came out out of depression. I can’t make any thing because I don’t have any material or machine. But I watch you on and on and enjoy your creation of new patterns. Thank you Donna. I even tell my friends to watch. My desire is to gather some women in the same situation and help them to come out someday. God bless you.

      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.

    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.

      Anyway to still get the pattern? I tried the link and it led me other videos not relevant to my cause. Thanks

    You should make a kit for the table runner! I’d definitely buy it! :)

    Forgive me if I’m committing a quilting crime by asking, but could this be adapted to use a jelly roll???
