Only 2/3 yard for each print! After making the video I re-calculated and it didn't take as much fabric as I thought 😁

One time when I was little I was napping under one of Grandma's quilt and I picked out the ties. Naturally grandma was upset. But kept her cool. She lived to 106

This is one of the prettiest quilts I've seen you make....and I've seen pretty much alllll of your videos. (Why binge watch Netflix when you can binge watch Donna Jordan at Jordan Fabrics?!?) Matt chose some gorgeous prints! This seems bigger than I need so I'm thinking of cutting only 3" squares. I presume the pattern works the same. I just bought a bunch of Christmas fabric; I hope my design eye works as well as Matt's. And, oh, how I wish I had that size table to lay my quilts out on.

My grandmother made one of these when I was a child. I am in my late 70s now. Her finished squares were 1" and construction done on the diagonal. Grandma only finished 4th grade. She made many many quilts. They were all beautiful and true treasures. I'm so grateful to you for being on KZfaq. Love you tutorials and all your handy tips.

Thanks for the 2 tutorials! I was delighted to see the tying tutorial last week! When I was teaching kindergarten, I read several quilt centered books to the children, had them bring in a shirt they had outgrown, and cut the shirts into squares. The children then hand sewed the squares together (eye/hand coordination, tying knots on both end of the thread, etc.) At the end of the quilt making, I took the quilt top home, machine sewed EXACTLY where the children sewed to secure the squares while retaining their stitching. I added batting and a backing and turned the quilt inside out. The class then took turns hand tying with yarn...4 children at a time so they could talk. What a great quilting bee we had! When the quilt was completed, we had a celebration breakfast, inviting the parents AND the head of the Battered Women's Shelter. We presented the quilt to the Shelter. What a great learning experience and my first step into the world of quilting. Just wish I had heard of applying fray check.

I'm so impressed how you don't get confused w the order of colors/prints/shapes, etc. No.matter how i organize and plan I still get things mixed up and turned around. You make the prettiest quilts of everyone. Watching your vids is like walking through the Louvre as opposed to the Walmart.🤗

Just when you thought it was safe to watch one more Donna video with out getting out your sewing machine and materials. She does it again 😂. Once again Donna and co, brilliant video and clear easy to follow instructions. Big thank you from UK 😘🥰

Donna and Matt, this is my favorite video you have ever made besides the frog you made Donna. It's not even my favorite quilt pattern but I love seeing you guys working together. I love how you flipped the quilt and hand tied instead of binding. I have watched this video like 10 times lol you're such an inspiration for me.

I have never seen a trip around the world done your way before! Its fabulous; I'm always up for a new technique, thank you Donna :)

I love it when Matt makes an appearance!

Love the "Around the World" pattern done in Christmas fabrics! 💕 The giveaway quilt is gorgeous! One of my favorites. Thank you for sharing. 😊🌹

I’ve made a trip around the world Quilt before but this method is so much easier. Thank you for all your videos, tips and for the quilt giveaways. Very kind and generous of y’all.

What a gorgeous quilt and the way you just taught everyone how to sew it together was soooooo good. Thanks so much and your fabric is gorgeous too😊☘️

Thank you, Donna! Once again you have un-daunt-ed a quilt pattern, and I do believe I'll give it a try!

I've loved this quilt & saved the video ever since it was 1st posted. It wasn't until day 15 of quarantine that I decided to make it. However, since we are on quarantine I'm unable to go buy 13 different fabrics, as Donna recommends in the video. Even if we were not in the middle of a WW pandemic, I live in a fairly rural area & buying fabric means I'd be all day driving to the city. I often buy fabrics on-line & didn't want to wait until a June shipping date. So off to dig into my stash. Ha ha ha... I only wish I had a stash like Donna's. I come up w/ 3 different shades of blue, 3 different shades of white (all 2 yards each) & a small half yard piece of another shade of blue. I decide I want to make it for a twin-sized bed, even though Donna's pattern is a little larger than queen sized. I'm not new to sewing, but fairly new to quilting. I was an English major & math is NOT my strong suit. I wonder how I can possibly make it work; should I cut the blocks to 2 or 3 inches instead of the 4 inch size? I nearly give up UNTIL I notice Jordan Fabric's phone number is listed in the info below the video. I figure, 'What the heck have I to loose?' and I make the call. A delightful lady named, Roxanne, picks up. I tell her my dilemma & she immediately, without hesitation, graciously goes to work calculating the math; reworking the quilt's size for me, counting out how many blocks down, how many blocks across, & tells me the exact amount of fabric I'll need since it's impossible for me to get more during this WW pandemic. I, of course, profusely thanked her for her help. I'm posting here because I believe everyone should hear it. In the midst of a WW pandemic when the Fake News shows us nothing but hours upon hours of Fear Porn; people are scared, dying, terrified, violent, bankrupt, & some even fist-fighting over toilet paper... Roxanne proved to me that the entire world is not lost after all. The smallest act of kindness, the tiniest extra bit of effort can give peace to so many. I know it's just a quilt, but it's more than that... she could have blown me off, told me to get a calculator, etc... but she didn't. She showed sincere kindness & humanity. I can never express my gratitude to Roxanne for her over-the-top & above-the-board help she freely gave to me, but I do promise to pass it on & pay it forward. ThanQ, Roxanne & God bless you! I've never ordered from Jordan Fabric's, but from now on, whenever I need fabrics or any sewing goods, I'll be looking to them 1st!

I love this quilt! Matt picked the perfect fabric, at first I was worried the fabric was too similar but was I EVER wrong. I'm definitely going to make this quilt, thank you for showing your version of assembling a Trip Around the World!! ❤️💚❤️💚❤️

Love the way you show how to pick up and sew, I would have NEVER have been able to work that out. I just love your videos x

You make it look so easy to do all of the quilting you do it's amazing I am new at this I hope I can get as good as you one day thank you for your tutorials that you do. Thank you

You make it look so easy. I love to watch you and Matt work together....wonderful teamwork.

You all are so generous with your talents. That's one of the reasons we love you all. thank you for sharing.

This is so pretty. I love both of them. Great job!! I'm so impressed by how you can keep track of how to sew the pattern. I must be pattern challenged. LOL

Wow!! Now i know how to make it.♡♡♡ thank you Donna and Matt💙💙💙 love from Japan..

I hunted down my hand weights. They are a true helping tool when I cut fabric.

I love the way you made the trip around the world. Amazing work.

Donna is an excellent teacher. After listening to on one of her videos I feel I could actually make one of these fabulous quilts.

Absolutely amazing! I love how Matt has the eye for the right fabrics and I love how you explain in such detail. I must mention how we viewers don't miss a thing with the expert person behind the camera. Thank you Jordan family. Thank you!!

Donna , that is so smart and organized. I love your way of cutting and piecing quilt blocks. I love this pattern and I am adding it to quilts that I want to make. You and Matt are an amazing couple and team. I am so happy that I found your site. Thank you!

Donna, idea of the I love your hand weight helping to hold template ruler. You are making it so much easier to put quilts together. Thank you and Matt. for all your helpful ideas.

I am so happy you made this quilt tutorial! This is now my favorite pattern. I thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge with us❤️😍❤️

I can't wait to to make one. Thank you Donna for making it look so simple and fun.

The Christmas print version of this pattern is beautiful. Thank you for demonstrating just how easy this quilt can be made just by breaking construction down into four quadrants. ❄️

Thank you !! I was hoping to see so many requests for this pattern that y’all had to do it! Going to download the pattern now! Happy quilting! 🧵🎉💐

This is my next project. I love that you can use as little or as many fabrics. You make everything looks so easy and fun to make.

We all have Christmas fabric and don't know what to do with them so they stay in our stash. This pattern showcases the fabric and lowers the stash. Thank you I'm started my Christmas quilts in January to get them done by December.

Once again... You & Matt is Awesome!!! .. I love that tie quilt. You both do a great job!! Love you!

I love how you have your fabrics sorted and easy to keep in order. Thank you for your easy tips!

This is by far the easiest way i have seen to make this quilt! Thank you for sharing your love of quilting.

WOW I wish my stash was like MAT'S STASH LOL - Love the quilt and would definitely love to give it a go, it's beautiful. Like Jody I also binge watch Donna Jordan and shall be this evening whilst my husband is watching the football ha ha. Thanks for another GREAT video.

Oh that Christmas fabric is so beautiful! As I type, we are experiencing a blizzard right now in the Prairies, and that quilt would be so cozy......gorgeous!

I never even LIKED the "Trip Around the World" pattern until I saw your tutorial. You and Matt are both stars in the quilting world. The way you organized the squares before sewing and explained the sewing order....makes me feel like anyone can make this quilt...why not? It only took you guys 10 MINUTES!

I love this pattern, my favorite! Gorgeous and I love how you tied it. My grandma always tied her quilts so this brought back great memories.

brilliant and so very generous of you to have this class for us for free!

I have been working on those very fabric squares this week! Love them. I am going to try this style in the future..had no idea it was that easy! You do wonderful instructions! 👍💗

This just amazes me how quick that was, I know it isn't that fast in reality, but how it is done has been laid out so well. Thank you!

The first time I ever saw this pattern was a hand stitched vintage quilt that was incredible. The quilt was very large and the squares were very small...I’m guessing 2” or smaller finished size. The work that went into that was amazing. Have always wanted to make once since I saw that. Thanks if breaking it down and making it not such a daunting task.

Beautiful as always! I love the hand tied look, it's definitely something I will try in a future project now that I know how simple it is! Thank you :)

I am a sucker for traditional Christmas print, what a truly gorgeous quilt, my goodness, wouldn’t you just love to receive that as a gift, I think it’s wonderful, Matt, you are a genius in your buying choices.💖💖💖

This is really very pretty. My first time to see quilt like this. Thank you Donna

Great tutorial - love the method for putting the squares together. The quilt is gorgeous. Thank you!

Stunning, absolutely stunning, your amazing at what you do and I am in awe of both you and Matt. Well done!!!

First quilt I ever made was back in the 80’s...Eleanor Burns...Trip Around the World...using the strip method. Been hooked on quilting ever since. Thanks for evoking a great memory. Love your tutorials. ♥️

Love this quilt thank you Donna and Matt

I love this quilt and this technique so much! I am definitely inspired to tie a quilt now, and thanks to you and Matt, I know how to do it. Thank you!

loving this in the Christmas prints

Thank you, thank you for demonstrating your chain piecing technique for this quilt. I prefer to chain piece but with the trip around the world I have not found an efficient way to lay the pieces without getting confused. This will be fantastic. Thank you for all your videos, they are a great source of encouragement.

I’ve been thinking about making this pattern, but until now thought that I had to make it via of sew and rip which seemed like a lot of extra time and effort. Now, with your tutorial, I feel confident I can achieve this pattern with less effort and a good result. Thank you, Donna and Matt.

Years ago I attempted to make this quilt. Did more ripping than sewing! Love your method for keeping everything organized and on the machine. Thank you so much for another great video! Time to give this pattern a "go" again.

I love how this looks and how simple it is to bring it together!

I've made this quilt once for my daughter, but your method is so very easy and logical. Again, thank you and your family so much for making these tutorials.

Just stunning as always. ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much Donna and Matt for this genius and generous tutorial ❤️❤️❤️ May God always bless you and your family 🙏🙏🙏

I'm so in love with those fabrics

So pretty. The pattern almost hints of a bargello.

I love to watch you make quilts they are so beautiful because I m a begginer in quilting

Just found this particular video and I love how Matt introduces his fabric selection process: "I was looking in my stash..." Oh to have a huge fabric store as my stash!

Oh Donna, this one is an absolute beauty and i just love it. I made a dress for my daughter when she was 6 in the dark green with red poinsettia's on it and to date, it is still my favourite dress that she ever wore and that i ever made. This fabric and the designs are just stunning. By the way, daughter is now 27 so perhaps a tad long ago. Thank you for showing us how to do this stunner, i just need to try and get similar fabric here in Scotland if i can. Crafty hugs to you both, Norah. Glenochil Village, Central Scotland

Love the way you teach! ❤

Thank you Donna and Matt. This is another awesome tutorial.

Oh my word! This is brilliant!❤️ And gorgeous!

I am so thrilled you did this pattern the way you did!!! With squares not strips. Only because if we have precut sqaures now we know what to do!!!! This is one of my favorite things to do!!!! Great colors too!!!!!! One of your best quilts!!!!!

You always make the neatest quilts. Thank you for sharing with us!!

OMG. I’ve been watching other videos for this pattern and OMG..... You did this in a way I understand!!!! Donna, You’re Amazing!!!!! I want to hug you!!! Now I know I can make this quilt! Thank you thank you 🙏 Thank you!

Beautiful choice of fabrics, Matt. That is beautiful!

Imagine my surprise today when I opened your email. My most favourite quilt being made by my most favourite person..... Donna. By far this is the most beautiful quilt. I can't thank you enough for showing us how to make it. It's just magic come to life in front of my very eyes. Wonderful. Best regards Anita Greetings from London Update I made 4 baby quilts in this pattern. I can't make a big one I could never manage it. So I am waiting with fingers crossed to see if this Trip around the world will ever come up as a free give away. 🤞🤞🤞🤞

I love watching your tutorials. You make everything seem so easy.

Donna, you and Matt are real treasures. I wish I lived close to your shop. This quilt has always intimidated me, so I never tried doing one. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing us how to make the trip around the world much easier.

I've seen this beautiful quilt many times when I visit our large Amish area here in Ohio and I always thought it would be too hard to make. I have changed my thinking after seeing this video. Thank you, Donna and Matt! Hmm..... my house to Grants Pass, OR is just 2,403 miles which Google says is just 36 hours of driving. My husband and I love road trips! Now I just need to convince him we need to do this.

Oh my gosh I love the way you make it look so EASY. Watching your video again I can see the routine. AWESOME having it set out in the circle for picking up. Thank you

THANKS! Donna and Matt for this excellent youtube tutorial and your generousity in providing a free pattern for this quilt. Seeing Donna's method for making this quilt has helped me find my quilt making mojo.

What a great way of putting this quilt together. I always manage to muddle my fabrics between cutting and sewing, but I think even I could manage this one! Thanks.

What a beautiful quilt! Printed the pattern. Love all things Jorden fabrics❤️

Thank you for all the videos that you post. I have learned so much from watching your tutorials and am amazed at how you make it look so simple.

I made a Trip Around The World Quilt in the 1980's. Your process makes more sense and I Love the choice of fabrics. I'm going to make a Christmas Quilt!

That quilt is stunning! The fabric choices are perfect

Thank you Donna for a great tutorial. I took your 80"x80" quilt and shrank it to a 16-1/4" x 16-1/4". It turned out great. Of course going that small precluded using lots of fabric colors but the 7 that I did use turned out great and the squares went from 4" to 2". I really like your method of putting it together. Once I got it figured out it went really fast. On one block I have roosters marching around the square. Took a little planning but it turned out cute. For anyone making a road trip Jordan Fabrics is definitely worth it. I live in California and just discovered the shop this last summer while visiting my daughter. Now I have two reasons for going to Oregon. I am so blessed.

Thank you for the best quilting tip I have ever seen! The use of that hand weight when you are cutting full lengths of fabric is the best! I will be telling everyone I know about this! Don't worry, I will be giving credit where credit is due. Thanks for sharing, for extra cutting of fabrics & all your great videos! Thanks!

Donna and Matt Thank you for sharing this lovely quilt tutorial with us I can't wait to try one for my grandson . Living in Buckinghamshire, England you are on my Bucket list for a visit to you and your store! here is hoping.

Hi. I’ve never quilted before but I’m going to try - and I know I’ll learn loads from your channel. I have to say that your videos are so brilliantly edited. Excellent work!

What a great quilt. I just love it. Matt cracks me up! He has the biggest starch I have ever seen. Donna what are you going to do with him.lol to me he is a keeper. Have a great day

Looks like a Bargello style....very pretty

Best presentation yet! Thought you could not beat the quilt tying tute but the simplicity and complexity of this Around the World quilt was amazing. Wish I had your tables.

Love love love this pattern and you make it look so simple!! 💖💖💖

I love all of your tutorials. You make them look easy and fun! Thank you

Thank you for showing how to assemble this design in a organized manner.....it kept everything in its place and you explained it so clearly as usual. Since watching your videos every morning I find myself encouraged to whip out some quilts. I’ve been making charity quilts with your tie off method which has been the answer to quilting easier for such a project. I can’t watch your videos at night anymore...lol....I wake up at 2 am wanting to go to the machine and sew.....my mind won’t let my body rest it’s the call of the singerchew......

I love watching your videos. You make it look easy and I feel inspired everytime I watch!

Love this!! I made a Trip around the World quilt years ago, but your directions are much easier to follow. I may have to do another one your way! Thank you for sharing!

Love the quilt. Great job as always. Always anxious to see your next project.

This is great! Donna, you make it look so easy. I've always wanted to make an Around the World quilt - now it looks possible. Thank you.

Love this pattern. Thank you for sharing. Omg that is my favourite by far for the giveaways.

Каждый раз поражает мастерство, волшебство, творческий подход к вашим проектам!!! Очень нравится смотреть ваши работы, они вдохновляют на создания красивого, уютного, домашнего покрывала сделанное своими руками. Вы великолепны!!!!!
