Love the colors and the pattern! Easy quilts for me, a great way to use up the extra pieces of fabric I have. A lovely gift!

[@dandelionroar6850]

This looks super fun !

[@bpurly7775]

I am making the same quilt but in batiks and white. Looks great and it is a very forgiving design. I love this as a stash buster. Great job.

[@Whitney_Sews]

Awesome! Would love to see a pic when you're done!

[@edwolfe1950]

Thanks for the words of encouragement. The quilt I'm working on is giving me fits.

[@Whitney_Sews]

+Mona Askren Aww thanks :)

[@WhateverHunterLiz]

It’s an adorable quilt! I like the easy Quilts for those days when I don’t want to work hard but I also enjoy the challenge of a more involved Quilt to try new sewing skills. Your hair is cute!

[@Whitney_Sews]

+Liz Turney I'm the same way!

[@doreenalexander]

It is just what I needed; a quilt baby quilt so that I can have time to work on my many pieces quilts. Thank you!

Thank you for such an amazing tutorial and easy explanation.

[@Whitney_Sews]

+Shweta Sonny Verleker You're welcome. Glad you liked it!

[@pamketron]

Love your new hair cut! I prefer something that is quick and easy. I’m more of a bag, flannel/fleece blanket, pillows and basket type sewer. Have made a patchwork bag that I did quilt. Thanks for sharing. I might have to try this one.

[@Whitney_Sews]

+pam bradshaw Thanks! I hope you do give this one a try :)

[@roseambrose7971]

Beautiful quilt

[@Whitney_Sews]

+madabout WDW Thank you!

[@ldorsey5111]

​Love this video and I love the new hair cut!

[@Whitney_Sews]

+Lenora Dorsey Thank you :)

[@louiseeldred8504]

Love watching your videos. I like small projects but I think that's because I've not tried bigger ones! Not much confidence. Just got to get on with it I suppose. Thank you for sharing this beautiful quilt tutorial. I love your hair down by the way. Best wishes from England xxx

[@Whitney_Sews]

+Louise Eldred That makes sense! Quilting can seem scary if you've never tried it. But the piece part is just sewing small pieces together, so not too hard.

[@EmmyRose22a]

This is a fun stash busting quilt design. Thank you for sharing. Your hair is very cute too.

[@Whitney_Sews]

+EmmyRose22a Glad you liked it :)

[@heathergoinbatty3866]

Thank you! That’s a lovely quilt!

[@Whitney_Sews]

+Heather GoinBatty Thanks! Glad you like it :)

[@gracepatane9384]

Beautiful quilt, Whitney! I like quick & easy projects! My sewing machine has cobwebs right now!! I lost my sewing mojo, & I have been doing a lot of hand work instead. But, maybe this project is just what I need to dust off the machine & get sewing again!!

[@Whitney_Sews]

+Grace Patane Oh no, I hate when I lose my mojo! Hope you get it back soon!

[@kelposch2839]

Nice! Finished is better than perfect every time. It's a lovely quilt and a lovely gift :)

[@Whitney_Sews]

+kel posch Right?!? I was so happy when I got it finished, photographed, and out the door...especially since the baby is now 7 weeks old. But better late than never.

[@AngelReneeToday]

Thank you for another great idea.

[@Whitney_Sews]

+Jules P Glad you liked it!

[@lcmck001]

Easy and quick for me

[@chryssypye87]

I totally like the quick ones. Although, I tend to make the tops and then they get put in a basket to be finished at a later date. Small town living makes me have to order a lot of batting and stuff online. This is a perfect tutorial because I have a baby blanket to make out of fat quarters!

[@Whitney_Sews]

+chryssypye87 I'm the same way, love making the tops, but not so great about getting them finished. But last year I was focusing on finishing projects and got a few quilt tops quilted and a couple pieced and quilted without setting them aside to 'rest' for a long time. Maybe try finishing an old project for every new one or two you start :)

[@ShastaLin]

I like them both, I need to work on getting my stash cut back.

[@Whitney_Sews]

+S Lin Hehe meeee tooooo ;)

[@ShastaLin]

I just moved and I have more fabric than anything else in my house!!! What the heck!!

[@janetehoffman]

I am going to try this adorable project using flannel. I need a 👶 quilt for a little girl and this looks perfect 👌✂️✂️😘

[@Whitney_Sews]

+Janet Hoffman Let me know how it turns out!

[@1964charlene]

Love it like see you make a oven door dress towel holde

[@Whitney_Sews]

+Charlene Hurley Been wanting to make some of those, just haven't gotten around to it

[@stephanieloffler8566]

Ohhhhh you got your hair cut? Looks great! ;) Thanks for the video - great and easy tutorial!

[@Whitney_Sews]

+Stephanie Löffler Thanks :)

[@janetehoffman]

BTW, ❤️ your new hair style!

[@Whitney_Sews]

+Janet Hoffman Thanks :)

[@shalomkiwi2006]

Very nice ! My preference is for quick quilts. :)

[@kellyhale2778]

That quilt is beautiful! I like quick projects so I don't lose interest.

[@sandraweinberg6133]

i like quick quilts

[@Whitney_Sews]

+samdra weinberg Awesome!

[@LisaLisa-zl9vu]

I’d like to make this but bigger and using bigger rectangle blocks. Can you recommend larger block sizes that would look nice? I think I can figure the layout for a larger size….

[@beckyrook8418]

Quick

[@haleyvermeulen5226]

Hi! I just made a brick quilt top but I'm having trouble figuring out how to quilt everything together. Should I start in the middle top of the quilt and follow the seams like a zig zag down to the bottom/side (if that makes sense)? That's what it looks like you're doing in the video but I'm not sure. Also, should my needle be lined up with the seam or should it be slightly to the left/right? Thanks so much for your tutorial!

[@Whitney_Sews]

Yes, I kind of zig zagged around in an attempt to have as few starts and stops with my thread as possible. I tend to stitch as much on the seam line as possible (called stitch in the ditch) so my quilted inst as noticeable. But you can do whatever you like. If lining your presser foot up with the seam line and stitching beside it is easier for you then go with that. Or you can stitch a random design all over. The actual quilting part is my least favorite of the whole process, so I just tend to go with easiest to get it done.

[@haleyvermeulen5226]

@@Whitney_Sews Thanks so much for your reply!

[@sharonlatour6230]

Whitney, have you tried QAYG? (Quilt as you go)??

[@Whitney_Sews]

I have on a couple of small projects. I didn't really love it, but might try again sometime.

[@amlaboy]

Your video mentions 14 different fabrics. I checked your website but I only counted 10 different fabrics, excluding white. Am I missing something? Love this pattern.

[@Whitney_Sews]

I made that quilt several years ago so I can't remember. I might have started with 14 then decided some didn't look as good in the quilt and set them aside.

[@alexandraakhoun3043]

Your haircut is nice

[@Whitney_Sews]

+Alexandra Akhoun Thank you!

[@karihoward7480]

I've always wanted to make a quilt always felt intimidated. But this is a great one to start with thanks.

[@Whitney_Sews]

You should definitely give it a try!
