4 X 4 quilt
 

I just watched msqc new tute on a 4x4 pattern...using a jelly roll plus some yardage. Looks like a fun way to use up some jelly rolls that I have.....but, in construction some jelly rolls strips are sewn together, then recut while some are sewn to the background yardage strips...but she doesnt say how nmany go where...or I just did not hear it! Anyone done this and has the answer......I know she offers the pattern for purchase on the website.

Jenny usually tells you everything, and does not trick you into buying her patterns by leaving out information. I suggest you try watching the video again. You probably just missed it

Go about half way down this page and you will see the two quilt blocks. http://blog.missouriquiltco.com/4x4-quilt-tutorial/

In one, you use all different colors and make a 16 patch block that sews up to 8.5 inches; 8 inches after you sew all of them together as in the quilt. In the other, you use two white squares, cut at 4.5 inches square and make 2 - 4 patches with white on one corner. Then sew a 4 patch to a white square, making sure the white is positioned as you see in the block. Do the same thing again, then sew them together across the middle, making sure the small whites stay in the center.

When you mention that she sews some together, then cuts them....she is probably making stratas.... 4 fabrics sewn together for the 16 patch block. She does 4 of the stratas from different fabrics, then cuts them into 2.5 inch wide strips. Then you take all the four strips cut from the stratas and sew them together to make a 16 patch. Change placement of the stratas....turn them upside down, move from position 1 to position 4 in the blocks...makes the pattern seem more scrappy.

For the block with the larger white squares, she may have made a 2 fabric strata, then subcut into 2.5 inch strips, then sew them together to make the 4 patch corners of the primary block.

Barb in Louisiana - I totally understand the process of construction, my question was, of the jelly roll's 40/42 strips, how many used for scrappy 4 patch construction and how many used for background/strip construction.

I always love her tutorial but on this particular one.. kind of got lost there in some places too.
She usually cut & sew each piece to show you but not this time but regardless I still love her series!

Does her PDF give any of these details?

Check her comments below the tutorial. There is a correction in cutting the block sizes after piecing the strips together.

Please double check!

Sorry Geri....I misunderstood your question.

I also watched this tutorial yesterday and found myself with questions. I'm glad then made corrections-----I don't always read all the comments before I start a project--I think I'd better start.
I also noted they are also selling a digital copy and a paper copy of this paper. My question is why get the digital copy if this is going to be on youtube as all of her other tutorials are? Is the digital copy more enhanced?

I just went to the link provided above and counted the A then B blocks. To my it looks like 25 of the A Blocks [the 16 different fabrics] and then the B Blocks is 27 with the 2 solids and the 4 patches attached.

I'm bad, I just recounted, and their are 28 of each blocks, 28 A, 28 B..........I skipped a whole row! :p

Well I emailed msqc after I posted here and I rec'd a response.....need 4 strips each of background and jelly roll strip for those } 4 patches-

now I best go back and read comments? Below tute? Never did that before......

Click on this and it will take you to her and look at the sentences under her picture for the word "Here" highlighted for the PDF download for the pattern.

Rhonda I have looked and don't find what you found. Please post a link. Thanks

..hmmm, I went back to YouTube tute and in the comments below Jenny does text that she meant to say cut at 5, not 4 1/2"......

Oh yea , I seen that to think I'm going to try that , I did like it .:thumbup:

A little confusing with a jellyroll. I think I'll try it with my 2 1/2" square candy scrap collection....

That's why I like her magazine Block. All her patterns are in the magazines with all the measurements and written instructions. I can always watch the tutorial if I get confused. Love Jenny Doan's view of quilting.

As with all patterns from any company there are times that even the published pattern has mistakes. MSQ Block magazine has a corrections page. For those that don't click on links you can Google "Block Magazine Corrections" or here is the link

http://land.missouriquiltco.com/block-corrections/

Of course the tutorials posted on YouTube videos prior to published patterns in Block magazine won't have those corrections. That is why I personally read the comments below the tutorial with the hundreds of people who view the tutorial, mistakes are quickly brought up as was quickly observed in the tutorial 11/12/18.

Barb in Louisiana - I re-read my OP, and it really I wasn't as clear as i should have been, and your response would have been spot on!
But I did get the answer to my query from msqc.....
now, I'm wondering about the error that is in the tute........not being a techie, I wonder if the correct info can be added to that video, or would a new one have to be made......there might be a few confused and angry quilters who follow the tute as is, and end up with a mess....not checking the comments below it for correction. I would not have, but thanks to this QB!

oh, thanks for the heads up...will have to watch it again!
