Customers praised this quilt pattern as "fun and easy" with clear instructions and helpful video tutorials. The pattern is beginner-friendly and assembles quickly. Shoppers loved the design's versatility with endless color possibilities. A few found certain sections slightly tricky. Overall, highly recommended for quilters of all skill levels.
Well, I can’t say I’ve finished any quilt, but the interaction with other quilters is giving me sanity during my difficult time in life. Finishing is not my goal right now but a chance to look, feel, select fabric, see what others are doing on same project, takes me rapidly out of my life into another much needed space. GE Designs and Stripology rulers make my attempts so much more precise, that I’m proud for what I can do.
This is a fun and easy quilt to make. Went together rather quickly.
I used this pattern for a Care Quilt. My guild supplied the fabrics, and I added a few from GE Designs. I didn't have enough fabrics to allow me to shift the rows without creating a wave, but I love how it's turning out! It's ready for final assembly :)
I used Moda Grunge and Tula Pink for a new grandma's first granddaughter. She loved it. I really enjoyed the quilt along, it remined me of the Elivra, when I first found you all in the dark early days of the Pandemic, the beginning of a wonderful friendship!
A fabulous and entertaining way to get a quilt done. Jolee is a fun and unique pattern and doesn’t waste fabric. GE Designs produces many informative and easy to follow patterns and videos. The quilt along format in the process was the first time I’ve done this and it was a lot of fun to participate. It was a great experience!
Class was excellent. I was not happy with the fabric bundle I selected or the pattern. This pattern probably looks better in a bundle with more contrast. I planned the layout to add contrast but when the rows were adjusted that defeated the purpose. I also wish I would have chosen a different contrast.
This was an interesting but easy pattern, and the video class helped me visualize the directions even more. Really enjoyed this one!
Gudrun always has the best quilt-a-longs and Jolee was good, too. I love the way my black and white quilt turned out. I'm a big Kaffe fan and liked that I could easily incorporate several of his prints into this quilt. I fond my blocks always turn out better when I follow a GE designs tutorial and use my XL ruler.
The hardest part of this pattern was the small square section as my ruler is old and does not have all the markings the pattern calls for. Love how it turned out!
I love all things Stripology and look forward to Gudrun's future creations, tips, and events.
I totally enjoyed the pattern and video classes for making the Jolee quilt. Since I’ve become more proficient in using the stripology rulers, and techniques, my excitement in quilt making has reached a higher level. I prefer to use the stripology rulers instead of regular ones all the time now. Game changer!
Really enjoyed making Jolee, I will definitely make another one.
Jolee pattern made from PRAIRIE SONG bundle with some fabric from
my stash to add interest.. Still needs binding.
I just loved making this quilt!! It is so easy and the design is great. I definitely watched the videos to assist me along the way. Gudrun's hints are so user friendly
I would like more detail in the video so far. I haven't finished it but love the pattern.
The Jolee quilt pattern is well written and easy to follow. It's a beautiful quilt without a lot of fuss. I made a few Jolee blocks and turned them into a cute fabric basket. Next, I will make a quilt!
Always happy with Gudrun patterns and videos
This was a great pattern to sew. Loved all the video tutorials!!
Was a very fun class. Good pace
The pattern is easy to follow and I love the illustrations of cutting etc. thanks Gudrun for all your hard work.
I enjoyed making the Jolee Quilt. The directions were easy to follow. I look forward to making another one. I’ve already given the one I made away.
I found this pattern more difficult than I expected. I have put it away for now and will try again. Sometimes my senior brain just needs a break.
I love making the colors "travel." Optics are possible ...my sons are very impressed no photos yet.
Lap quilt
Love this, it is a fun and easy pattern to do
Another great new pattern and video class. Gudrun makes it so easy and fun; her tips never fail to increase my skills and feel confident.
