Have you made a quilt yet??
Or maybe you’ve been thinking about it, but you just don’t know where to start?
So many terms, rules….rulers??
I feel you! I’ve been there! It can feel a little overwhelming.
So I’m here to free you from the fear of getting started!
I made the ULTIMATE QUILT VIDEO for you…(with more quilting videos to come). And I called it the Ultimate, because the video contains every single part of quilting that you need to know, all in one place.
So you can watch it, pause where you need to, come back to it later, etc. Obviously there are many additional tricks and info to learn about quilting, and many different ways to do it. But what was overwhelming to me when I started quilting, was knowing where to find the info. You know, all the basics kind of stuff to just make my first quilt.
So all that info is here for you! We’ll walk through the steps together.
This video can be used to make any quilt….but I am specifically using the STRIPEY QUILT PATTERN, which is FREE. You can grab it here in my shop.
In the video, we’ll make a baby size quilt, which is really manageable.
I’m using 2 of my fabric collections with FIGO Fabrics:
• Butterscotch
• Squeeze
I love when fabric collections meld together nicely. The pinks and oranges in this quilt are my favorite! Along with that backing fabric….
Orange you glad you stopped by today?
Heh heh. But really, I hope you are. I think you’re going to enjoy making this simple quilt.
We’ll methodically go through the steps, but keep it moving at a fun pace.

Dana! Thank you! I’ve have been wanting to make a quilt forever, and there are resources but I haven’t found one yet that was beginning to end, what a beginner needs to know. I can’t wait to use this to make my very first quilt!! You’re awesome!
Awesome! Thanks Toni! And yes….that’s how I felt too….there’s SO much quilting info out that it feels overwhelming to get started. So I hope this helps you out!
🙂
Dana, you are so inspiring! I have made a half dozen quilts … I’m not exactly a newbie? …but I have definitely had one “in progress” for a long time and just couldn’t find the interest to get back at it. I watched your whole video just for fun. You always make things so accessible. I feel like I might just pull that quilt out and finish it. 🙂
Dana, I can’t thank you enough for posting this amazingly helpful video tutorial. This is my first quilt! I’ve been working on a twin size version for my daughter and am about halfway through the quilting step. My machine is a bit of an old beast, and you’ve made me seriously consider upgrading to a Baby Lock! Anyway, this has been such a fun project and your teaching is so thorough. I ‘m really grateful. And I love stripes, too!
Hi Mrs. Dana!
My name is Elizabeth Angell, I am 11 years old, and I just recently sewed a scrunchie and a circle skirt by watching your videos! You have such amazing videos and I absolutely love what you make! I’m currently working on a 2-layer circle skirts for my friends, but I do not have an iron at the moment. Do you have any suggestions that “substitute” ironing? I really love how my original double layer circle skirt came out! Thank you so much for all your amazing tutorials and videos! Have a great afternoon!
Elizabeth Angell
I’ve always been afraid to do binding and your tutorial was clear and helpful! Thank you so much!
Hi Dana! You inspired me to try this quilt. Is any brand of rotary mat good? Not understanding the different lines running through it. Thank you!
I have been trying to sew for years. I have done ok, everything was self taught. I am not sure how I found you on YouTube. I binge watched a bunch of your tutorials. I cannot thank you enough for all the help. I learned so much from you!
I made the strippy quilt for a friend my husband said it is the best baby quilt I have made so far. I will keep watching! ❤️
Thank u so much – absolutely thrilled with my new baby quilt. I even sewed the diagonals!!! Basically, Dana, u have taught me to sew over the last few years. You explain every step so well, making sewing for beginners a successful and enjoyable experience. Thank you 😊

With my experience working with Dr Isikolo, i came to the conclusion there are very good and honest people out there who can truly do all they can to fix whatever problems you have even when they are not known to you visibly or see them in person. I lost my marriage for not being able to fully what it means to lead a woman right and accept the fact that they are wired in a way we men can never understand. I had to seek help from Dr Isikolo knowing my wife is a good woman whom i cant loose to anyone else. It was a tough situation for me though and too many things was revealed to me while he was helping me to fix the probleems and i got the effect of the result just after 48 hours as he assured me and i have my wife back home to me. Dr Isikolo is the best option you can choose to restore love and connection between you and your partner and get back them back to your lives and be happy together forever.
