The Making of...

Imagine you're new to the BeColourful Quilts, or as we like to say, to the "Jacqueline de Jonge designs". And you don't exactly know were to start.. In that case we have a few options for you: You can take the "Day Dream" Craftsy class or you can take one of Jacqueline's classes. At our website you'll find all the places where she will teach. However, there's another possibility and you don't have to leave your house for it. You can buy yourself the tutorial DVD. Jacqueline explains and teach you all the techniques you'll need to make one of her breathtaking designs.

​A few years ago we've made this great tutorial DVD.
​On this DVD Jacqueline takes you by the hand and helps you to make the beautiful pattern "Happiness". You'll learn all the techniques of paper piecing. All the basics, such as a star, spikes, a flying geese border, corner parts, mitered corners and so much more are taught on this DVD. 
This a 2-hour DVD, region 0, English spoken, mini class. 


"Summer Dream" a photo video in 9 episodes

How do you make a star, or a flying geese border, or a corner star? And do you know what you have to do to finish the quilt? And do you always wonder what's happening with a quilt when the long arm quilter has it? 
In 9 episodes you'll follow the making of Summer Dream... Curious? Just watch it!

Episode 1 - The center star

How do you start? By choosing the right fabrics, selecting the perfect colors, and with your favorite pattern.
In this video we show you how to make a perfect center star.

Episode 3 - Assembling the star and circle

You might think that this is the most difficult part of the quilt, but you'll see, with the right tools it's actually quite easy.

Episode 5 - Adding the diamond borders to the quilt

This is a fun part! First we're going to select the colors we're using. You have to make 4 diamond borders. When that's done, you'll attach them to the striped sashing. It's already looking great!

Episode 7 - At the long arm quilter

This video takes us to Elly Prins, the long arm quilter. You'll see what happens there, choosing the threads, the quilt patterns, and the actual quilting of "Summer Dream"

Episode 9 - "Summer Dream" is finished!

Episode 2 - The star point circle

This might look difficult, but with this video you'll see how easy it is to make those beautiful points. You're able to make this perfect flat circle of your dreams.

Episode 4 - The corner parts and the sashings

The next step of making this beautiful "Summer Dream" is making the corner parts and adding the sashing to it.
​

Episode 6 - The corner stars and finishing the quilt

We're getting close to finish the quilt, but first we have to make the little corner stars. After that, we've to attach them to the diamond borders. Add the sashing and the final border to it, and our top is finished!
​

Episode 8 - Finishing the quilt

And finally the finishing touches. We're adding a sleeve to the quilt, Jacqueline shows you how to make a beautiful French Corner, and we're adding a lot of crystals to this beauty.
