I’ve definitely had a warped strip set before ironing!

That's why I made the cover of my ironing board with a checkered fabric. That way it's much easier to see whether you're warping the fabric.

Also, press after each strip is added. Don’t wait until your strip set is done.

THAT is a great idea!!!

I wonder if he is referring to the primary colors. When he says color family. Because I do see purple.

He's referring to where they would fall on the colour wheel, the "reds" will be on the red side purple and the "blues" will be on the blue side of purple. A better way for him say it would be magenta and violet

I see purple too

i just watched this video and was wondering the same.

I won't have thought of that! I'm a new quilter, that's a great tip

I don't think the strips are long enough. I didn't make an actual prototype, but laid out some strips and used rulers to estimate and it looks like the strips are several inches too short. Using 4 strips instead of 5 it would probably work well, but the quilt would be less dramatic. Really good question/suggestion!

I've tried to make this quilt this week. At the beginning of this tutorial, Rob says to use one jelly roll, then the instructions in the link say to use two. So far, two of my strip sets have been at least 2 inches short. I've had to get a second jelly roll because some of the colors aren't diverse enough. Now I think I have to get a third just to be able to make enough strip sets. He also said that you need six strip sets. That should be six strip sets per colorway-so a total of 12 strip sets. You might need more strip sets though if your sets end up being too short!

Mary Douglas May be less expensive using yardage.

I believe he's talking about red/blue tones within the berry colourway, he could also have said cooler/hotter colourway. Not that the actual colours are a true blue or red. I hope that helps.

Jennie Dunn that makes sense, lol I was confused, thanks.

He's using a BabyLock - Jane (the older name was Quilter's Choice Professional) which I have and it is very quiet especially at the lower speeds. Even my husband doesn't complain too much.

Chris Reeske thank you so much! I really appreciate and my family will too!

Dot Hailey probably but it’s pretty common for most to have a square or long strip ruler with a 45 degree line

It manages bulk at the center for sure.

Thank you! I’m gonna have to try that. I always get a mess in the middle and can’t figure out what to pick out to reduce it

It would work either way as long as you make them all the same

Each strip finishes to 2 inches, when all the seams allowances are subtracted. So, as I see it, I am guessing that it is approximately 60X60 inches.

Suzi SaintJames an instructor I had said a bath towel on the ironing board works great, and it does. Try it before you spend the bucks.

Someone in my quilt group used a wool blanket from an army surplus store

If you click on the link to buy the supplies, it says he used two jelly rolls.

If he's using 2.5 inch strips then I'm guessing the block is 20.5 inches unfinished.

Guessing the blocks should finish at 19.5 , and if it's 3 blocks across and down the quilt should finish at 57"sq

Glad I'm not the only one that thinks the strips looked purple.

And I do love the quilt - gives a gradient look without using gradient fabric!

Depending on how you have the strips turned when you make the first cut determiners if you get 2 light or 2 dark so you have to figure that out when you are cutting them.

Sorry! ROB.
