408 Comments


We have a real treat for you today, Quilting Friends! Not only do we have a video tutorial that takes the “scary” out of curved piecing and FREE Daybreak Quilt Pattern for your quilting pleasure, we’re also offering a fantastic giveaway!



This fun and informative video features Kimberly and a special guest: the sweet and talented Sherri McConnell of A Quilting Life. You’ll learn how to create the curved piecing blocks featured in Sherri’s Daybreak Quilt Pattern, which was designed exclusively for Fat Quarter Shop.

http://www.fatquartershop.com/daybreak-quilt-kit


We were so in love with the Daybreak quilt that Sherri designed for us, we didn’t stop at just one kit – there’s a lap size AND a mini size. If you’d like to cuddle under Daybreak, you might also be interested in the coordinating backing set.

The fabric featured in the striking Daybreak quilt? Valley, by Sherri and Chelsi for Moda Fabrics.  This mother-daughter duo have created a gorgeous collection based on the Southwest, where they live.  The Valley fabric collection is also available in bundles and as yardage, should you decide to apply the beauty of Valley to a different quilting project.

GIVEAWAY!


We’re pleased to offer giveaway prizes to 13 lucky winners! Sherri was kind enough to autograph all the items shown above: 8 quilt patterns, 4 mini quilt patterns, and 1 Valley Jelly Roll!  Twelve of our winners will receive an autographed pattern, and the grand prize winner will receive the Oasis Pattern and the Valley Jelly Roll!

  4. I'm glad I am not limited by having to choose what one thing I like about the blog.. I like it all! Tutorials are great, I have downloaded some of your free patterns. Love seeing what's new in the shop and it,is really helpful to see the different projects done in each of,you girls' style. I am also in awe of how much Kimberly gets done; it makes me work harder to get some things completed.. Thanks for all you do.

  5. I especially love the tutorials. It is like icing on the cake if there is a free pattern or a chance to win some fabric too! I follow the blog and enjoy every posting! Thanks!

  9. I watched this video and it made me much more confident! Any blog post that share techiques to make it easier for me to quilt are my fav! Kimberly shares her knowledge generously

  10. I too enjoy the tutorials. Your website is far too tempting and I find myself spending an awful lot of time looking at new fabric lines!

  12. WEll, I think giveaways are my favorite blog posts! I do really love videos of how to make the projects. I'm a visual learner mainly and its so much fun to see it take shape.

  16. I love the 'how to's that show step by step how to complete a block or project. Thanks so much for the great tutorials.

  20. My favorite posts are the monthly updates to see what all of you have been working on. Of course, who can dispute tutorials and free patterns!!!

  21. Wow, it is hard to choose just one thing! I would have to agree that the tutorials are the best!!

  22. My favorite posts are a combination of the free patterns that you give us as well as your tutorials. There are also the videos that are so easy to understand. You just make it so easy and that is so important to all of us. I look forward to visiting Jolly Jabber every day because I might miss out on something spectacular and you just have this amazing amount of energy. We thrive off of you and we all need this. Thank you for all of this.

  27. There is so much to like! I love Fresh Finds and the quilt alongs. Of course the tutorials are wonderful too! thank you!

  31. Would love to win the autographed pattern and or the grand prize Oasis pattern and the Valley jelly roll.

  35. I enjoy your blog all the time, but my favorite is the Fresh Finds.

    I used to get your blog updates by email, but a month or two ago they stopped coming along with all the other blogs I get through Feedburner. When I try to sign up again it always tells me I'm already a subscriber. I looked on their website but can't find any way to contact them. Can you help me?

  39. I find all of your blog posts interesting. I like the QALs and the tutorials, and seeing new fabrics and patterns.

  42. I love everything on the Jolly Jabber, especially the new fabric features. And I like your features on Lori Holt too. Thanks for the fun!

  45. I LOOOOVE the Tutorials best…the Video's are Grrrreat & so are the Free Patterns your always share with us too! 🙂 Appreciated soooo much!!

    Thank you for chance to win your Give-a-way too! 😀

  46. Your tutorials are great. Since I don't have anyone close by to teach me, that's the next best thing.

  48. I look forward to seeing new tutorials and have made a layercake lemonade quilt, the table runner with 2 1/2 mini charms and lots of towels. thank you for the wonderful ideas!

  51. I love your video tutorials and for me it is especially helpful to have a printable pattern too. Love your guests too!

  52. I love you free quilt patterns, tutorials and guest posts of other versions of your free patterns. So much quilt inspiration to enjoy. FQS is so very supportive of the online quilting community as a sponsor and creativity spark which is an inspiration also. Keeping doing what you do.

    tushay3 (at) yahoo (dot) com

  61. I love your video tutorials where both you and a guest work together to do a project. Your Kimberly bag post is one of my favorites! I also like your sharing with us about the projects you are all working on. Thanks so much for all you do! K- lkw2x6-apq@yahoo.com

  63. The tutorials are very inspirational and it's an added bonus when Kimberly is joined by a guest designer. "Meeting" Sherri after years of following her blog is a real treat. Thanks for the new pattern.

  68. My favorite has been the "snapshots" quilt-along. I loved the printable patterns . I also love your tutorials which are always so organized. Keep up the good work!

  73. I love to read about new fabrics and see projects made oft it. To get to know designers a bit is always a highlight and I also love the tutorials very much!

  75. I love the tutorials featuring guests that have come up with a new way of using /creating classic blocks!!i enjoy the blog !

  76. I love the tutorials and the free patterns. I get so excited when I watch them, that I have to immediately start a new project. Thanks so much for doing this!!

  82. I appreciate all your posts. However, I agree that the tutorials are very handy! Thanks for the effort you put into these.

  86. This is really exciting! Thank you for a chance to win! I am always eager to open the jolly jabber newsletter. You show great new products or what you've been creating yourself: I actually love it all! Most of all: I adore seeing the same pattern in different prints and fabrics. It is so very inspiring!
    cottonpaperflowers at gmail dot com

  89. Love the Star Cakes pattern – using a jelly roll and my Easy Angle Ruler I can get lots of HST! I've been enjoying all of the tutorials – such inspiration – I've added lots to my "to do list"! Thank you!

  91. I love the ease you format in learning what you all do so well. Your guests are great teachers! I enjoy the blog and reading other comments, it is my break time and lunch time at work and of course a visit to the FQS website for the flash sale!

  95. This tutorial is fantastic. I recently tried piecing an curved orange peel shape and it was a disaster. I ended up with a bunched up mess that stuck up like a bubble instead of laying flat. This video has inspired me to try it again using Sherri's techniques. I love the circles and would love to be able to piece these in my quilts without always having to appliques them on. Thanks for sharing these tips! My favorite Jolly Jabbers are the monthly ones with updates on all the projects your staff are working on. I love to see everyone's take on the various patterns using the fabrics of their choosing. It always inspires me!

  96. What is my favorite kind of blog post, that is a tough one as they are all good and incredibly helpful. But, if I must pick just one it would have to be the tutorials, being able to see what you are doing is the best. Keep up the good work and I hope to see many more wonderful posts

    Thank you

  97. I really like the tutorials. i always seem to be learning something new and fun. thanks. look forward to more tutorials to come.

  100. I really enjoy the videos, so often it is easier to understand a process if I actually see it being done. Each video I have watched here are interesting, fun, informative and really make sure the technique is understood! I also enjoy the Free Patterns to print and also the daily emails.

  102. I love everything about Jolly Jabber!! Tutorials, patterns, new fabric lines, suggested tools, featured designers, and on and on! Your posts are well written and easily understood even by a beginner like my granddaughter.

  104. My favorite posts are the "fresh finds" posts, and the tutorials or posts with links to free patterns. Your tutorials are always so easy to follow, and I've used the videos many times to work out how to do something that was giving me trouble — seeing it in action helps so much!

  105. I love the tutorials.. I get to learn a ton from those easy to follow tutorials.. Thank you for teaching us so much..

  106. I have a hard time choosing, but I like the fresh finds. It might be nice to get an email every day saying what the flash sale is, because sometimes I forget to check!

  108. Love your quick & easy patterns like Layer Cake Lemonade. And also enjoy the blog hops when they are released. Not only do you get to see the same pattern interpreted with different colors, but I'm introduced to new-to-me blogs. Thanks for all you do!

  111. I like the tutorials, the free patterns, and the quilt alongs–so many great ideas!
    bjkaup(at)(huntel)(dot)(net)

  114. Tutorials and free patterns are my faves, but I also liked the posts where you were each following a quilt-along and making blocks in your own different styles. The variety of prints and colors and blocks was great eye candy!

  115. I must admit that the tutorials are so inspirational! The patterns inspire want but the tutorials make me feel like I can do anything! Certainly my favorite.

  117. Hello! I am Brazilian, can I participate?
    I love all standards. I would be happy with any of them!
    Thank you for caring!
    Nina Dias

  118. ALERT!!
    I just printed out the pattern and pieced the two "background" pieces together
    Do not attach at the dotted lines. You will lose a quarter inch.

    Sorry. Really.
    I printed it out at 100% so I know the final "background" piece should measure 9 1/2 inches? including the seams?

    You know, in Virginia here…. it is raining and drab. What am I doing? farting around, printed out the pattern already and choosing fabric. haha
    Happy Friday❤

  120. I watch most of the tutorials. I especially love Sherri McConnal's. She lives in my old home town, so I feel a special kinship to her even though I haven't met her. Would love to win this giveaway. Love your website especially. Buy way too much stuff from there. Love everything you show.

  122. I like posts that show the same block or quilt made up several times in different fabrics. a project can look so different depending on your fabric choice.

  123. I LOVE MOST ALL OF THEM. I LOVE THE TUTORIALS AND I JUST THINK YOUR IDEAS OF MATCHING FABRICS AND PATTERNS IS FANTASTIC

  125. Like many others, I love the video tutorials! The ability to pause, rewind and replay them repeatedly is essential and invaluable for my learning style. In addition, I love to see the new fabrics and patterns that come out. What's not to love, really?! 🙂

  126. Well, okay…I'll cringe and admit that while I enjoy tutorials and seeing new fabric, my top it all absolute favourite posts are ones just like this…the chance to win something.

  127. Jolly Jabber –keep on doing what your doing…free patterns, video tutorials, it's all quilty goodness! Thank you!

  146. I love posts with tutorials that have tips and tricks. I am a self-taught quilter and I love reading about the little things that make quilting easier, more accurate, more fun!

  150. It varies. I like posts like this one, where you offer a technique and a link to a video to show it, but don't fill post with lots of details on the technique that don't mean much to more experiences sewers. I like giveaways, especially fabric bundles, and those that go along with your quiltalongs are great. I do enjoy your quiltalongs for a cause also.

  152. I really love the tutorials. Even if I don't want to make that quilt, I learn so many new techniques and get inspiration to keep quilting. Thank you!

  154. I love these videos that Kimberly, along with her guests, unravel the mysteries of quilting. Curves has always intimidated me and I am thrilled to be able to finally make a quilt with them. Thank you.

  155. My favorite are the giveaway posts !! But I do love the tutorials, too. Thanks for the opportunity to win this giveaway.

  157. I love the video tutorials & the giveaways!! Can't get much better than that! This one on curved piecing was awesome.. I'm excited to try it out.

  158. Imho, the best blog post are the ones that teach me something. That could be a tutorial like the one in this post, or a tip on how to do something, or organize something, or just a reminder to check my seam allowance periodically!

  161. New or old quilter.. tutorials are always a plus! I always learn from watching what different ways people do things.. it's great then you can use the method that works best for you!
    Thank you sharing…

  166. I love the tutorials, the free patterns, and the interviews with the designers. I've learned a lot from the tutorials!

  282. Thank you for the great tutorials and this giveaway. I like all of your tutorials, but those showing me new techniques are the best. I've always wanted to make a drunkards path quilt. Perhaps this large curved block is just what I need.

  286. I love the free patterns AND seeing what's new in the shop AND seeing blocks that the staff put together. Okay — I love it all!

  292. I love your Jolly Jabber tutorials/patterns posts! I also look forward every year to the Mystery Quilt clues, that tell something new about each contributor 🙂

    a1d37001 at telus dot net

  335. I really love seeing the new fabric lines used in projects–I get a much better feel for them that way. For example, Valley seems like something I can imagine using in my quilts now that I've seen your example, whereas I wasn't sure when I was only the little "thumbprints".

    And I always love fabric giveaways. 😉 Thanks for those, too!

  338. I love this latest tutorial on curved piecing, something I have shied away from. It looks so easy when you do, I'll have to give it a try. I like this quilt a lot. All of your tutorials are wonderful. Thanks for taking the time to do them.

  341. I appreciate all of the Jolly Jabber blog posts! There are each so informative and all an interest(s) I have to learn! The curved Piecing Block was very educational; I first leaned this technique by applique…..
    And Sherri McConnell…WOW! I purchased her Fresh Family Traditions quilt book, it is so fabulous! And may I state, she spells her name right! Woo Hoo!

  346. I love the tutorials and learning something new by watching some pretty fun / amazing people! Thanks for the giveaway!

  348. I love the YouTube tutorials and free patterns. They allow me to teach others the joys of creating beauty with fabric and it gives the newbies the confidence that if they get a hiccup at home they can just pull up the YouTube video tutorial for a refresher!

  350. Of course the tutorials are the best, as many people have already said. Being a visual learner I appreciate being able to "see" what I am supposed to do. But, I also like to see the posts where you show the new gadgets, what you are working on, and the new patterns and materials. I guess I just like them all! Thank you for the wonderful opportunity.

  352. My favorite are the how to videos. I learn so much from them.

  353. I love to see the favorite tools that each quilter prefers and how they are used. It helps me round out my personal collection, and shows me how to maximize their use and improve my skills. And of course I love the cheerful tutorials!!!

  354. Your tutorials are always fab, and I love the holiday related posts. They always inspire me to update my holiday decorating, and sometimes, to decorate for a season or holiday that might have gotten passed by. Juls in FL, mathrun1@yahoo.com

  356. I like the tutorials and giveaways the very best. I like the other items too. There is always something interesting to read about. ljbisme at msn dot com

  367. if I had to pick my favorite it would be the annual quilt along. The patterns are awesome and there are videos to go along with the pattern.

  369. For me tutorial type posts like this one. I would love to have the teacher next to me but I am halfway around the world. So this type of postings is ideal for me.

  375. I Love all of your quilt tutorials! Great for beginner quilters and your easy quick tips are the best!
    satterfieldfamily at sbcglobal dot net

  378. I love tutorials or how-to videos. I am a new-ish quilter and I love watching seasoned quilters. It helps me to learn proper techniques and I can practice those techniques by following the tutorial.

  380. Do I have to choose just one? Who doesn't love a great Quilt-a-long, a free pattern or a video tutorial to spark their creativity?
    I know I can always rely on FQS Jolly Jabber to keep me up to date on what's new in the quilting world!

  381. Tutorials are always a plus, and yours are always well-done. I appreciate for free instructions and the free pattern! I appreciate the chance to win!!

  388. I love the quilt-a-longs. I can't say I've ever actually done one, but I do LOVE seeing the variations that people come up with. Thanks for the chance!

  389. I'm a fan of free patterns! I've been following Sherri for awhile now and love that she has her own fabric line 🙂

  391. I like tutorials,but I love when you combine patterns with a blog hop. Seeing the same quilt in different fabric collections is helpful to someone like me who struggles with visualizing. I'm sure that blog hops are a ton of work for FQS, but I look forward to them.

  394. What a wonderful collection of fabrics! Would be great to make a quilt out of them! Erika 🙂 ehellmichwebde

  401. Thank you for explaining and showing how to conquer the useless fear of piecing curves. It's a great piece of information that will open many avenues for my quilting obsession. Plus the offering the multi-sizes pattern was a gorgeous bonus! 😉

  406. Although I love the tutorials, I think my favorite posts are the videos of everyone's 'must have' supplies!
