Natalie: I will say that at this point it’s important to remember that all of your strip sets get done the same way. And then we are also going to come over here and sew about a half an inch away from there and cut in between those. So what we’re going to do right here is we have ironed these so that we have a sew line. So that’s a lot of, that’s going to take a lot of the quilt out, a lot of the block out. It’s a 6 ½ inch block, we’re going to snowball with five inch squares. Jenny: And then we are going to snowball the two corners. Natalie, will you press that a little bit for me? So what we’re going to do is we’re going to take this block. You’ll make 14 strip sets and once you have all of those strip sets cut up then we can start making the blocks. And so you’re going to cut all your strip sets into these 6 ½ inch squares. So here’s five, six and a half like this. And so then what we’re going to do is we’re going to cut those whole strip sets into 6 ½ inch blocks. If you sew your seams perfectly it will come out to 6 ½ and so ours are pretty close I think. And however tall they are, that’s how wide you want to cut them. And what we did was we sewed those together in strip sets like this. And so what we did, this is a jelly roll quilt. And for your backing you’ll need 3 ¾ yards of fabric. For your outer border you’ll need 1 ¾ yards. You’re going to need 3 ¾ yards of background fabric. And we have used Farmhouse Christmas by Echo Park Paper Company for Riley Blake. Jenny: So to make the Serendipity quilt you’re going to need one roll of 2 ½ inch strips.
BRACYES INFINATE YOUTUBE BLOCKER HOW TO
And so we want to show you how to do this. Jenny: And this is the same block just not separated by a sashing. So not only do you learn how to make a quilt today but you get a little trunk show as well. Jenny: And then here is another, here is the secondary block. Natalie: Ya this is a Stonehenge fabric line. But it’s fun to see it in these bright colors as well. Jenny: Ya and this is, it’s interesting because in our original quilt we did Christmas fabric and then we have Christmas fabric that came up to do it on this one. And so here’s the one that we did for Block. Jenny: We have so much to show you today. Jenny: One block and so then we remade it for Block. And so we called it Serendipity because you could get two quilts for one work. So this was the secondary quilt that we made right here. But what’s cool about it is that when you put those sides on and cut those pieces off, you get a whole other quilt. And you can see on this one we put white so it enables you to see the block more clearly. And these are the little blocks but we’ve put color in the corners here. Natalie: Well it’s been a really long time and our video skills have improved a bit since then. We decided to do a remake of it because it’s really a fun quilt. Jenny: Many years ago we made a quilt called Serendipity and we’re going to show you the original ones right here. And we have a really fun project for you. And today I’m joined by Natalie, my daughter Natalie. Jenny: Hi everybody, it’s Jenny from the Missouri Star Quilt Company.
