Make a 'Ribbon Pole' Quilt with Rob Appell of Man Sewing (Video Tutorial)

Rob Appell demonstrates how to make a super cool version of the classic Ribbon Pole quilt using "Scribbles" Yardage by Andover Fabrics. This quilt is made with half square triangles, and Rob has a quick and easy way to make four perfect half-square triangles at once.

Well, I don't have a project story, but as I watched this I kept seeing a garden think I'm going to try it with floral prints on a white pole with a sky blue background. What do you think?

Hi Rob. Thank you for teaching me how to make the ribbon pole. My daughter is a barber and this is what I made for her with your help.

I love the idea of cutting of the corners to eliminate the dog ears. I always learn something new from you. 👏👏

[DureeLindy]

I want to make this with flowers and a pole. Now I have to see if I have the right fabrics in my stash. This is a fun one, thanks so much for the idea.

Rob, I was always afraid of cutting and sewing the triangles, but you have inspired me to try again!!!  You are an awesome teacher !!!

I started this ribbon pole quilt today. Watched the video over and over. Followed to the letter your great tips and like magic it is the best thing I have done in the two years I have been learning to quilt. So easy to do. Thanks Rob. I will see you on March 2nd at the Sewing Expo in Puyallup, wa.

Saw this pattern quite a few years ago. It was called DNA. I believe it was featured in the Philadelphia quilt show. Have always wanted to do it. It has laid in the back of my mind since I first saw it. Glad I watched, going to do it now. 👍

Can’t wait to make this quilt. Trying to decide on fabrics and colors

Thank you for this pattern. I have a lot of scraps from Christmas patterns to try this. My story of something that started small was I was learning to make quilt blocks that Jeni was teaching in her tutorials and ended up making myself a large lap quilt for cold Colorado nights!

Rob, I know you put out this video 4 years ago but I have to say I LOVE your take on quilting patterns. They are so much easier thay other tutorials, especially for a novice like me. Keep making them. I love watching you. PS I am now a subscriber. :)😀

Thank you Rob, this block has always puzzled me, you made it look so easy!

[lillianaravena]

You are an amazing teacher. I saw several other videos prior to yours on the ribbon pattern and it only clicked when you explained it. Thank you.

[ergirl]

[mommaice]

I've been waiting so long for someone to do this in quilt form. THANK

[jackietucker]

I love Pole Quilts. Great way to use up your HST's.

[judypurcell]

I made a one fabric wonder once that was supposed to be a queen, but I got carried away, and ended with a king! I really like your teaching style. You make everything seem easy. Keep up the good work.

[deadiemeyers]

Rob, I am always intrigued by your bold and colorful design sensibilities. I love HST's and I have just added this pattern to my (ever growing) quilting bucket list! Thanks for another great tutorial!
