UPDATE: I wanted to clarify something about the WOOL. It is FELTED WOOL. You can definitely use a piece of recycled wool. Just throw it in the washer or wash by hand in HOT HOT water with a bit of soap. Then in the dryer. Then cut to size. ANOTHER UPDATE! Since posting this video YT started sending me videos and a wonderful one popped up. A woman named Margaret Fabrizio actually went to see the women that make these quilts in India. You can learn more about her and her experience with them. I wish I had found this video earlier. But my take away is to learn what you can from this and then make it your own. If this link doesn't work, copy paste it. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fKtlr9mOZ6e4fco.htmlsi=V-q3WUH8iu8M5TuS

I found Margaret Fabrizio’s videos before making a kawandi and decided to begin by doing everything as close to the traditional method as possible according to my understanding of it. I don’t like using pins except when necessary and find it easier to sew as I go. I forgot to put the phula in my first corner and sewed one side shut, but added the others as I went. In any case, it’s a great way to make a quilt out of scraps.

I used some batting which made it harder to stitch as it scrunched up, so will be giving that a miss. Leaving the extra fabric for the seams is a perfect idea. I went back to a few short ones I had........I ironed my fabrics too and did one whole round of pinning then stitched. Really enjoyed the process, but will no doubt make a better one next time 🤣❤

Great tips, Jeri! The one about changing colours was excellent. And I appreciate you showing how to put it all together with pins/basting to stitch on the go...not just convenient but I have a touch of arthritis in my hands and getting it all sorted *before* starting stitching saves a lot of fiddling with stiff fingers folding and holding in place tiny bits of fabric.

I've been playing with some small kawandi style quilt blocks. Maybe 6x6. This size has been a real challenge. What I quickly did was just what you did - laid out the pieces and pinned in 2 directions. In my mind, the traditional style likely works better for large blanket sized quilts with fabrics with a much softer hand than what I was using.

I am living in europe and some expressions/words/measures i do not know and so i found out most by just doing it and making mistakes. I do understand why the "wings", as i call them, are put in the end. I did put them in the first row immediatly and in the last kawandi i mistakingly did sew one in the middele on the backside together.... I found good thread, just trying to find right needles because the one i already had is bending. Just this evening sorted material for the next one; cant stop!!

I just want to make sure that I correctly understood that when you used the felted wool as a backing, that you cut the edges of the wool to the 12” x 12” size, and left them raw and did not turn the edges under 1/2 inch like the top pieces, because you mentioned that the wool would not fray.

@JeriBellini

Yes that is correct, the wool MUST be felted (wash in HOT water and dryer) in order for it to not fray. Just be mindful of the wool you choose if you decide to try it, some wool is loosely woven. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! Welcome! ❤️

Where have you been all my life?!? LOL. It never dawned on me to pin and lay all the fabric down before stitching......great tips... thank you! Quick question... if you are doing a bigger project, would you use bigger pieces of fabric on top?

Yikes I've had it FOR EVER... and I think I got it at a flea market or a thrift shop. I can't lay my hands on it at the moment but if I find it I'll come back and post what the brand name is. ❤️

Hello Jeri. What kind of thread are you using. ? It is heavier than regu thread. You are doing a fantastic job showing someone who hasn't done this exact style quilting. I love it and the red table runner you made . Thank you. ❤

Hi Margaret, I'm using Pearl Cotton #5, but you can use embroidery floss. If you use the floss, use a few strands to make it thicker to show up better. Thank you for watching! 🩷

I agree with kmdamron1--this is the best Kwandi tutorial! I have watched most of them on youtube and yours really stands out!! Thank you! I think it's best in part because you show your "challenges" and have your camera in a spot where we can really see what you are doing!!

Oh I'm SO glad to hear this! Re: the camera... I've been struggling with that. I decided to upgrade my video equipment and went through 3 cameras before I decided on the one I have. I think it does a great job and it's so easy to zoom in! When I make a video I pretend I'm the viewer and what do I want to know and see. Glad you liked it, thanks for being here! ❤️

Hi i loved your video! How great to use up scraps for memory quilts or peices of wall art/table runner/bed runner from someones clothes (for me it'll be my childrens clothes, one for each of them). Could you do this on a larger scale and machine sew it, slowly going round as youve done? Also how often do you need to change your colour of thread? Can you do a different colour on every round? If you had darker fabrics you could use lighter thread and vice versa, that'd look nice... Thank you for your inspiration, my creative juices are starting to flow 😂. What's a penny circle? Im so intrigued but I dont want to google it, id rather see or hear you say what it is 😊thanks again, i cant wait to start this ❤

Hi Sally, Yes you can certainly machine quilt, I have seen a few people do that. And I change thread when the strand I'm working on runs out, no specific rhyme or reason. To get a vague idea of what a penny circle is, look at my recent video with the hearts. I made a penny circle video YEARS ago, it needs an upgrade, I'll do another one. (meanwhile you can do a search on my channel and see that one) You know you always learn new things as you go along, and it might be fun to do another. Thank you so much for your comment and questions! 🩷.
