I found a way to get my “checker board blocks” to easily match. Use the Pellon gridded fusible. You just lay your blocks on each square and turn the panel over and sew 1/4 inch seams on the horizontal and the clip your corners and sew on the vertical. Voila all corners match perfectly! Good luck to newbies as I am one too!

I haven’t done the math for a whole quilt. If you use 4 strips to make a set, that should give you four blocks. There are usually 40 strips in a jelly roll, so that makes 10 strip sets (40 blocks). Then a 6x6 quilt would be about 54 inches square.

Hi can you please tell me if I should keep the strips 18" long to make the trip around the world & also do I just continue making that same block until I get to the queen size quilt I'm making please and thank you. Awesome video. This will be my 2nd quilt. I really like the simplicity of sewing strips together & keeping the colors to a minimum I have no sense of color coordination it shows in my 1st quilt.

Color choices can be tricky! There is some math involved in figuring out the length of strips and number of blocks. I don’t have a pattern written for a Trip Around the World quilt…for scrappy quilts I just sew until it’s big enough, LOL.

You can do it! The checkerboard portion is obviously made with strip sets. Then you add star points with either flying geese or half square triangles. A bit of quilt math depending on what size you want your quilt to be then you are ready to sew 👍

I like the idea of a checkerboard. Can I make the squares bigger than 2.5? What size should I cut them. I want a little bigger than that? Thanks.

You can start with any size strip! 3” strips will result in 10” finished checkerboards (4x4 layout)

I made a Christmas quilt with this method. The rail fence method did not turn out the way I planned. I had swastika pattern! I had to change it all up!!

Oh dear, that is one of unfortunate possibilities with this layout. Glad you were able to adjust!

Do you have a preferred rotary cutter? I’ve bought two that weren’t sharp enough. Ended up with a very sore shoulder.

I use Olfa. Sometimes the blades stick together and you end up with two, which doesn’t work very well, 😂 And, if your cutting mat is old it will affect the quality also.

Love the fabric - do you remember what line it is?
@TrueBlueQuilts Жыл бұрын
I used some of my Island Batik stash 😍 I think the blues were from the Constellation and Starry Nights collections.

Do you trim the edges of long sides, the ones that have pinking shear cuts? Those edges throw me off and my strips skew.
@TrueBlueQuilts Жыл бұрын
I don’t trim those pinked edges. I usually measure my quarter inch from the longest point of the fabric. This is one reason I cut my own strips! That video is here Top 3 Tools for DIY Jelly Rolls - Cut Your Own Strip Sets kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gaiKn9GQkprYiXU.html
