Hillside Quilt Pattern Video Tutorial - Uses 2 Jelly Rolls!

hi I'm 77 from Colt addicts anonymous today's and they teach you how to make my pattern hillside hillside is available at cult shops and also at shop quilt at atomic bomb so check your local culture see if they've got it there and if not you can get it from us online hillsides one of my favorite patterns because there's no neutral so you can just pick up two jelly rolls that either four are from the same line or coordinating really well with each other and you can just mix and match and have some fun with them I did the original one and boutique and I'm going to make my one today in Cape spring in 2018 in the bright color way Cape is really a great one to do in a no neutral quilt in because most of his quilts are no neutral quilts are always really bright and funky and so this is gonna be a really bright and bold quilt and it's really fast and really pretty simple so it's definitely a beginner friendly quilt so the first thing I need to do is take this apart so that's the fun part is taking these jelly rolls of her now there's lots of really fabulous and fun fabrics in here I unroll it and you could get really fancy and arrange these all exactly as you want them but I'm just gonna start pulling from the top usually whenever babies are put together or they're already in an order and that's kind of pleasing to the eye and I'm just going to start sewing them together to find out exactly how many strips you need to use for this part make sure you head on over to shopton pull X numbers comm or your local club shop to pick up a pattern or your copy of the pattern hillside so the first thing I'm going to do is set my sewing machine up to sew a quarter inch stitch so I'm just going to go ahead and grab from there now I do want to make sure that I'm not sewing any two together like it would not make sense so this one to this one because it's the same fabric so I am gonna mix and match a little bit that way and kind of just go along the way and just grab them as I go I've got the edge of the fabric even with the Ezra my presser foot and I'm just going to start sewing and whenever I'm strip piecing all I ever do is worry about whatever fits on top of my sewing machine throat plate so I've got my fingers in between this and then I kind of use that to line them up and get my edges nice and straight and then I'll hold it steady with my [Music] and then I'm just going to keep zooming along [Music] all right so I just finished sewing my first two sets together now I'm just going to keep going down the line and sewing more to it so I've got this open up and since this fabric is the exact same as the one that's next to it I'm going to go ahead and take this and leave it to the side for now and I will use that at the end when it gets a little lighter again but for right now I'm just going to move on to the next orange and I'm going to sew that to this yeah the other one right here now you could press in between every single one of these seams I'm not going to first expedients sake I find it a lot easier to sew everything together first and then press all my seams open then to get up and use the iron in between each see [Music] so now I got three sown together and again this orange is the same one it's a blend right next to it so I'm going to put that to the side with the others and I'm just going to keep on sewing until I've sewn all the strip's together along the width of fabric and again to get that number make sure you go purchase Hillside from your local culture shock or got shocked off quilt a taxonomist calm so I'm just going to keep on sewing you guys should keep on selling at home and then we'll come back when it's time to press all these open [Music] so I've got a few extra strips I'm gonna save those when I buy my quilt at the end and now it's time to break into jelly roll and number two for this one I use the exact same role as the first one but this would look really fun if you had been collecting from a couple of lines from the same designer like if you've got all the cave spring releases from now until the end of time you could totally do this with that as well now we don't need as many strips for this next part as we did in the first one so make sure you consult your hillside pattern that you can get at shop tackle attics honest calm to know how many you need but one thing I'm going to do is instead of starting with the dark on the top I'm going to start with this light on the bottom and that way when I put the strips together in the end they're going to kind of alternate from dark to light and they won't be right next to each other the other thing you could do is you could just totally mix this all up crazy but I think I'm gonna get a good variation just by going in the opposite direction and instead of starting with the dark starting with this light so what I'm gonna do is I'm going to lay this strip out and then on the left side I'm gonna basically cut off a dog ear on here so if you line up the 45-degree line on your ruler even with the selvage and give it a cut then we're going to get a nice 45-degree angle now the next one in this jelly roll is the exact same print so I don't want to put those right next to each other so I'm going to set this to the side and do the next print in the line so that way I have variation as I sew these together all right so I'm going to line this one up again and I'm going to cut a 45-degree angle off of that now I'm going to show you how to sew these guys together it's basically the same a strip piecing but a little bit different so what we want to do is we want to offset this just a little bit so basically if I line this up that quarter inch should be even with where this little valley is where these two match up you can kind of get use to eyeballing that once you've done it a few times but if you need to pin the first couple that's fine so I'm going to take this over to my sewing machine and keeping that offset go ahead and put my sewing machine to a quarter-inch stitch and I'm just going to sew down like I would any other strip you so when I get to the end I'm gonna have about two two and a half inches extra of this strip that's facing up and that's okay that's the way it's supposed to be because we're doing everything offset you can stop when you get to this point because there's no need to some research your thread to we'll all the way down or you could sew all the way down totally up to you so I have everything flipped around so that my tapered edge is now on the right so I'm going to show you how to process open so what you want to do is just get that first part pressed open and then what I do is I kind of finger press it open with my three fingers and that kind of holds it nice and flat until you can come after it with the iron keeping the nose of that iron in that Center seam works out really well and now you can see that because we have that offset we have a nice straight diagonal line so when we're all done we're going to turn this to the side and cut straight up and we're going to get this nice diagonal piece it's going to really cool now you can wait to press all the scenes until the very end when you've stripped all your pieces together but from here on out you're just going to continue stripping those diagonal pieces together continuing to offset each one as you go until you have enough together to complete the pattern [Music] all right so we've got everything sewn together now it's time to cut it apart it should make a really long strokes to go up in our quilts first I'm going to show you how to cut the pieces that we sewed straight together and nice and parallel and then I'm going to show you how to cut the slanted pieces so our piece is really tall so there's no way to cut it all in one swoop without making sure that it's nice and straight all the way up and down so what I've done when I designed this as I made sure that the ones that we were going to cut we're going to be no wider than the width of a standard 6 by 24 inch ruler that way you can just use the lines on your ruler to measure what I've done is I've laid the side that I started with on the left because this is nice and even so I know I'm gonna have a nice even one to do my first cut with because that's really important so this first one make sure you go to your pattern because not every one is six inches wide so make sure you check out the hillside pattern which is one of our originals over at shop quilt magnanimous calm so you know how many strips to cut and what width because it varies a little bit but what I'm doing is I'm going to line this up and I'm going to over cut it a little bit because I don't want to use those selvages but what I'm doing is I'm kind of lining up my inch lines on some of these seams and it looks like either the jelly roll wasn't cut perfectly straight because some of these are a little bit wider than the two inches they should be but as long as you have some that are looking like they're even like this on the quarter inch is on that's fine you just need it to be as even as it can be so I'm gonna go ahead and trim and we're going to trim this off after we're done with this to get it nice and square so I'm just going to pull over thanks you me but I'm not going to cut it all the way down like I can see right here is where my cut line is from the last one so I'm going to line it up and now I'm going to use a couple of points to square it up so I have my ruler in line with the edge that I already cut and then I'm continuing use the ruler as a guide I'm nice and straight like that one inch line is like right on this scene so I know that I'm still nice and square so I can continue coming up so I'm going to keep on doing that until I've cut my entire strip and I'm going to show you how I Square it up all right so I'm gonna put the width of it to the side for a little bit I'm gonna flip this around so that the edge that I just cut is now on the left and I'm gonna trim everything up and this is real easy because it's just the same width as my six-inch ruler so I don't really have to do too much fussing with this it just needs to be six inches straight up but again make sure you consult your pattern because not all of them are six inches wide and I'm not going to tell you what the other measurements are because we want you guys to that's how we're able to do these videos is by you guys buying our patterns so go check that out if you really want to make this quilt all right so that was super simple I just line it up the edge and cut straight down I'm going to go ahead and do that the rest of the way up [Applause] all right we've got one strip down we got a whole lot more to go so go ahead and consult your pattern to figure out how wide these need to be and go ahead and cut your strips and then I'm gonna come back and show you how to do it on the slanted version now the slanted part is gonna work just a little bit differently what we're going to do is we're going to turn it so that the slant is now going straight up and down perpendicular to your body so what I'm going to do is with that first raw edge we started sewing together on the right I'm going to take this slant and I'm going to turn it perpendicular to my body the reason why I'm going to cut off this part on the Left first is as you sew it you may get off a little bit and so if you get all the way to the bottom and you're just cutting your six-inch piece to start with you may only have like five and a half inches once you get to the bottom so the first thing I'm going to do on this one is square up this right edge so if I have a nice straight edge to work with so for this one we want these to be at a 45 degree angle so you've got a 45 degree line on your ruler that I'm going to use to line up so what I'm doing though so I've got that 45 degree line on just any seam line is fine and I'm moving it as close as I can to the edge here making sure everything is nice and flat all right now I'm going to start cutting off the selvage and screwing everything up all right so I've got a straight edge on part of it pull everything down toward me now you may have to do this a couple of times if you find that you've got kind of jogging in a little bit as you were sewing you may need to take off a little bit more until you get to the point where you're gonna have a nice straight line all the way down okay so when I do this I can tell at the top of my board when I have this even here I'm now running out of fabric it's coming in it's too far so I kind of got off a little bit when I was sewing that so I'm gonna have to start over and take a little bit deeper slice okay so I got my 45 degree I've got maybe a half inch or so that I'm taking off here alright now we are looking better here so now when I'm lined up here and then offset the 45 degree I also fabric hanging off the side all the way up for my next fit go ahead and slice up I'm gonna keep doing that all the way up to the top and have a nice straight line to work with all right wants you to square edge to work with then you can go ahead and start cutting your pieces again they're not all six inches so make sure you consult your pattern to make sure that you cut the right amount so that way you can have the right amount of strips for your quilts one thing you should do before you start is you should measure from your straight edge all the way over to where your jagged edge is you should have at least 28 inches of width in order to make this pattern happen if you don't just reduce the size of the strips you cut so that way you can get enough to go in your quilt in between the large strips so no big deal if yours ended up even a little bit tiny by the time you've squared it all up just reduce the width of the strips it'll still look fabulous it'll just be a little skinnier alright so I've got it lined up with that edge that I just cut and I'm just gonna go ahead and slice up just like I did on the other one it's up this time cutting a 45 degree angle and getting that cool downward-sloping effect just like before I'm not going to pull it all the way down because I want to be able to measure across this to make sure I'm square here and up here just keep on going until your entire strip is cut [Music] [Applause] one last thing you want to do is go ahead and square up these edges we're gonna flip around which one goes in the top and the bottom and slice off the bottom when we're sewing it together that'll make more sense when we assemble the top but you want to start with a nice square edge so to view that do this top part first I'm going to move it over as far as I can before this angle starts I'm just gonna slice it off so that we have a nice straight edge I'm gonna do the same thing down here move it as far over keeping it square in between slice it up and now we have a very cool stress that's going on the diagonal looks cool looks like you spend a lot of time making this but it was just some strips that we cut up so real cool I'm gonna finish cutting everything up and then we'll be back to sew everything together and finish your quilt top so you're straight some piece and your diagonal piece should be about the same length but that could vary a little bit depending on how wide your Jelly Roll is or not exactly two and a half inches all the time and then also how good you are sewn your quarter inch seam lots of things can impact that so what I recommend doing is pinning everything together and keeping the top edge even every single time and then when you're all done go ahead and square up the bottom and it will just look fabulous and it will be great so what I'm going to do first here is you also want to when you're sewing and this is good to know when you're pinning you want to have this straight of grain peace be against the feed dogs and that's because this bias is gonna be stretched here and so if you have any sort of issues with your feed dogs it can get all stretched out of proportion and then you don't have a nice straight piece here but if you have your straight a great against your feed dogs that's less likely to happen so what you're gonna do is you're going to put these right sides together and I've got it laid out in the way it's gonna be going through my sewing machine so the sewing machine is going to be over here to my left and I'm gonna be sewing my quarter inch seam here so I'm lining up a tops just gonna go ahead and pin every I don't know steamer sew all the way down and you just kind of want to make sure that it's nice and even as you're going you don't want to tug or pull any of those fabrics just to make sure they're nice and even as you go if you wanted to and you had enough pins you could get all your rows together at once and just chain piece them all tour to speed this process up all right since this is one gigantic row I'm going to go ahead and reinforce my stitches at the beginning that way they don't kind of pull apart as I'm going through and I'm just sewing again making sure the butts free to bring the bottom that way you're not threatening [Music] [Music] so again for this one I'm gonna go ahead and press this seam nice and open just really like the way that it gets things really flat when you do it so as you can see we've got a little bit extra hanging off here I'm gonna go ahead and square that up now so we have nice even edges to work with as we sew our next pieces together so to do that I'm gonna line up the ruler with an inch line and the bottom of that pinked edge be helpful if I had a larger ruler but I've no idea where that ended that so I'm just gonna keep this nice and square and cut off the rest and now we have a nice straight line to work with when we do our next strip so if I just did top to bottom again this would be kind of boring because we would just have another little pomegranate on this side but if I flip it around and instead I do what was at the top and put this at the bottom then there's gonna be a lot cooler to work with because then we have lots of different color variation so each time I'm gonna flip that around with the both the angled edge and the straight grain so just like before I'm gonna make sure that I'm gonna so with this side down but I'm gonna pin it a little bit differently this time because I know that this is the exact same length as my other piece but they were all cut from the same piece that we sewed together at the same time so it's important to kind of line it up to make sure that your seams here are lining up their seams here and that's really easy to see when the diagonal edge is on the bottom so what I'm gonna do is I'm going to pin it on this side but then I'm gonna sew it on the other side so it's kind of backwards or the way I normally do it but it's gonna work out a lot better in terms of getting your final piece to look really good wait and really straight when you sew it together go ahead and pin at that corner and then I can see that this is lining up really nicely right here so I'm gonna go ahead and I'm having gonna do like every other one because that would be a lot of pins if I did every single one and so for this one I'm gonna bring it up a little bit so I can make sure that this seam is lining up with that one there and if it ends up being off a little bit in the final quilt that's gonna be fine but you don't want it to be like like really big off as you're going through it that are we really obvious and it won't look good when it's seen as a big hole DS alright so we're a little off here you can see that this one is down that 1/4 inch or so then right here so what I'm gonna do is I'm just going to pull that up a little bit and I'm just gonna kind of ease things in as I go but I can see now that this is nice and even and I'll just ease it in just a tad bit as I'm sewing and that'll make it a lot easier to work with all right already on this next one we're nice and even again so we'll be good and the unevenness just comes from you know sometimes these aren't cut totally straight when they come out and so you know there's a little bit of wiggle room we all have worked with a jelly-roll that is less than perfect and that happens sometimes so we just have to do a little bit of adjusting when we're sewing it together to make it look perfect when we it comes out so I get a little bit closer to the end I've got maybe about 2 feet or so to go I'm going to work backwards so that way if there's any easing in to do it'll be over a longer period of time rather than having to do it all at the beginning so we're going to go ahead and look backwards at this point so I almost always sew with the pin side facing up so that I can see the pointy end of my pin this one I'm not I'm gonna flip it around and again that is so I got that straight of green on the bottom gets it [Music] just like before I'm going to go ahead and press the seam open all the way down so I'm gonna I'll show you my fabrics again so just like before will be pretty boring to have this yellow fabric at the bottom here and on the next row I'm gonna flip everything around this is why we squared up both edges even though we're always going to cut one off so that way I have my darker fabrics down here and that way I'm alternating each piece as I go I'm gonna pin this the same way I did the last one and making sure that my straight up green is on the bottom always and that's pretty much all you need to know to put this together you're just going to keep adding rows until you are ending with a straight of grain and then your quilt top is going to be together and you can fold it however you like thank you so much for following along with this tutorial if you enjoyed it make sure you go to shop cold outer Thomas calm and get the hillside pattern it is available as one of our poetic synonymous original patterns and again it just takes two two and a half inch strip rolls and that is enough to do your binding as well so pretty good deal you don't have to get a ton of stuff you just need a fabric line that you love and you want to use for your entire quilt so now neutral quilt so it's really kind of fun and bright and funky if you like that kind of thing I know I do but you can always get a more subdued line as well if you don't want it to be too wild make sure you check out our blog page quilt Exantus calm and click on the tutorial section we have hundreds of free tutorials so you
