UPDATE: I wanted to clarify something about the WOOL. It is FELTED WOOL. You can definitely use a piece of recycled wool. Just throw it in the washer or wash by hand in HOT HOT water with a bit of soap. Then in the dryer. Then cut to size. ANOTHER UPDATE! Since posting this video YT started sending me videos and a wonderful one popped up. A woman named Margaret Fabrizio actually went to see the women that make these quilts in India. You can learn more about her and her experience with them. I wish I had found this video earlier. But my take away is to learn what you can from this and then make it your own. If this link doesn't work, copy paste it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gN1hgNqGnKq2fZs.htmlsi=V-q3WUH8iu8M5TuS

I found Margaret Fabrizio’s videos before making a kawandi and decided to begin by doing everything as close to the traditional method as possible according to my understanding of it. I don’t like using pins except when necessary and find it easier to sew as I go. I forgot to put the phula in my first corner and sewed one side shut, but added the others as I went. In any case, it’s a great way to make a quilt out of scraps.

I've been playing with some small kawandi style quilt blocks. Maybe 6x6. This size has been a real challenge. What I quickly did was just what you did - laid out the pieces and pinned in 2 directions. In my mind, the traditional style likely works better for large blanket sized quilts with fabrics with a much softer hand than what I was using.
@JeriBellini7 ай бұрын
I love the sound of the 6x6! They would make great coasters and you can get a feel for it. I could also see a bunch of smaller ones mounted on some stiff paper/cardboard for a wall hanging piece...

Thankyou for the great information. I have made a couple of slow stitch journal covers and poucnes :) I just had a go at making my first "trial and error" Kawandi and I have learnt lots of awesome tips from you. I used some batting which made it harder to stitch as it scrunched up, so will be giving that a miss. Leaving the extra fabric for the seams is a perfect idea. I went back to a few short ones I had........I ironed my fabrics too and did one whole round of pinning then stitched. Really enjoyed the process, but will no doubt make a better one next time 🤣❤

Great tips, Jeri! The one about changing colours was excellent. And I appreciate you showing how to put it all together with pins/basting to stitch on the go...not just convenient but I have a touch of arthritis in my hands and getting it all sorted *before* starting stitching saves a lot of fiddling with stiff fingers folding and holding in place tiny bits of fabric. I tried using double gauze for the backing and, like the felted wool, is much easier to stitch through.

I am living in europe and some expressions/words/measures i do not know and so i found out most by just doing it and making mistakes. I do understand why the "wings", as i call them, are put in the end. I did put them in the first row immediatly and in the last kawandi i mistakingly did sew one in the middele on the backside together.... I found good thread, just trying to find right needles because the one i already had is bending. Just this evening sorted material for the next one; cant stop!!

I just want to make sure that I correctly understood that when you used the felted wool as a backing, that you cut the edges of the wool to the 12” x 12” size, and left them raw and did not turn the edges under 1/2 inch like the top pieces, because you mentioned that the wool would not fray.
@JeriBellini7 ай бұрын

Great tutorial, Jeri. I did not know that these quilts were sewn around and around...if that makes sense. I'm inspired to make one of these soon. Great tips too. Thanks Jeri ❤

Yes you make sense, I was careful to make that point in the video because it's unusual to quilt that way. Of course you will make one, you are amazing! maybe a little blanket for the new girl? 🥰

I agree with kmdamron1--this is the best Kwandi tutorial! I have watched most of them on youtube and yours really stands out!! Thank you! I think it's best in part because you show your "challenges" and have your camera in a spot where we can really see what you are doing!!

Oh I'm SO glad to hear this! Re: the camera... I've been struggling with that. I decided to upgrade my video equipment and went through 3 cameras before I decided on the one I have. I think it does a great job and it's so easy to zoom in! When I make a video I pretend I'm the viewer and what do I want to know and see. Glad you liked it, thanks for being here! ❤️

Hi Jeri, happened upon your channel, loved this video! Can I ask what kind of wool you used for the back? Wool felt? I'm heading over to join your patreon😊
@JeriBellini7 ай бұрын
OHHH!!! You made my heart soar! Thank you for wanting to join my Patreon. ❤️ I have SO many ideas I want to share over there in a smaller, private community. And Yes, the wool. I'm going to PIN a comment in a minute because I realized I didn't say, It's felted, 100% Wool.

Very interesting & inspiring, thank you. I could not figure out what you did with the triangles… are they sewed onto the back or do they stay loose and fly around like little birds?
@daleodberg67147 ай бұрын
I thought perhaps you were going to sew them onto the front and it would look similar to a photo mounted in the old time photo graph albums.
@JeriBellini6 ай бұрын
I left a little flap open on all the corners then went back and put them in and stitched them. However I learned last night watching a video from the lady that went to India to see how they were made, that you put them in when you do the first round. Honestly, I don't think it matters.

I totally understand your desire to prep the fabric pieces ahead of time, but I'm so accident prone I couldn't handle having pins in it. Stabbing oneself with a pin has to be one of the worst feelings ever! Beautiful work and a pleasure to watch. Thank you. You might want to look up Sashiko stitching. They use a VERY unique style of thimble that is particularly well-suited to running stitch. (These two traditions are probably related in the very distant past.)
@JeriBellini6 ай бұрын
I’ve been dying to try sashiko, and I bought special needles for it and I want to make one of those thimbles you mentioned. I get the pin thing, they can be annoying, but I loved having the whole thing ready so I could sit outside. I suppose basting would be a good option. Maybe I’ll make another one and go at it a different way. Thanks for watching! 🩷
@jenthulhu6 ай бұрын
@@JeriBellini I have a feeling you're gonna love Sashiko. I find it incredibly fun. Basting probably wouldn't take too much longer than pinning. I'm planning to just have a couch full of scraps and go at the piecing one at a time like you see the ladies in India doing. I won't be sitting on the floor though. I'd never be able to get back up!

@@JeriBellini Denim is probably too thick and densely woven for Sashiko. Traditionally it's done over fairly loosely woven fabrics. Not even as dense as quilting or Kona cotton. It should be really easy to stitch. Hope that helps you out! Enjoy!

This is the first of your videos I have seen but I will definitely be back for more. I quilt, mainly for family, and many lap robes and wheelchair lap robes for my doctor to give to her homebound and hospice patients. But I have been interested in Kawandi for a long time and hope to start a project once I recover from shoulder surgery. Can you tell me what kind of needles you use and where to get them?
@JeriBellini6 ай бұрын
I've been using Milliners #3 but you can't always use them if you have a lot of thick seams. I get them online. Just look for a needle that is thin with a decent size eye, doesn't have to be too big, just bit enough to get the thread through. Thanks for watching and I'm glad you'll be back! ❤️
@cmarks1010102 ай бұрын
What a wonderful video!!! Thank you! I have not yet made a Kawandi but eventually plan to make a lap throw for the couch and will need to wash the piece every now and then. Do you suggest I pre-wash the fabrics or, as I do in my regular quilting, I wash after the quilt is finished because I do like the crinkled look. Thanks!
@JeriBellini2 ай бұрын
Yes, wash the fabrics ahead of time! ❤️ You can't go wrong doing that.
