Ridiculously Easy YouTube Video / Beauties Pageant 296

The short version of the story I am about to tell is this: Eep! I made a YouTube video about my Ridiculously Easy Jelly Roll Quilt pattern. You can access it below ...

The longer version is that 10 years ago I posted a tutorial for my Ridiculously Easy Jelly Roll Quilt. Then 5 years ago, I converted that tutorial into a full-fledged pattern. This pattern has consistently been my most popular design, and its success is what propelled me into writing Not-Your-Typical Jelly Roll Quilts.

It was time for a little sprucing, however. I added some more illustrations to the pattern, outfitted it with my new logo, and developed some bonus resources that anyone can access.

First off is the YouTube video. Every so often someone contacts me because they work better with videos than written patterns. This video does not tell you how to sew the pattern—to cut the fabric and sew the columns, you need to have the pattern in hand. It does, however, give a broad overview and discusses the issues of selecting fabric and sewing long columns together.  (Ridiculously Easy is a column-based pattern, not a block-based one.)

 

 

(Not going to lie ... It’s painful for me to watch that video! Please ignore the glare from my glasses and every instance of “um”!)

Forthcoming is a digital coloring page on PreQuilt. I already have some designs up on PreQuilt, and you can play with coloring them without having a PreQuilt subscription. Check them out here.

To celebrate this new-and-improved version, the PDF version of Ridiculously Easy Jelly Roll Quilt is just $10 through Thursday, June 19. Pick it up in my pattern shop or Etsy shop!
