[@big_ted]

Wow vintage Kimberly! No starch and only one pin! 😅😅😅

[@debbielawson9477]

I made this quilt and cannot love how it turned out more. Thank you. I love watching your video

[@KarenShirey]

I am a new quilter wanna-be and am binge watching your videos. I think these Short Cut videos are my favorites. I will be starting on a project soon thanks to your awesome inspiration. TFS!!! ❤️

[@jennyjist]

Kimberly’s voice is just soothing as she teaches❤️. Thank you for another great tutorial!

[@KittenBowl1]

Nice! It’s very easy (almost no cutting except for those of lighter rows) but it doesn’t look that easy. Bonus! Great for gift quilt or for charity. I think it goes super quick. I like that it’s almost no waste with just a few inches of scraps for scrap bins. I think your older video like this is better, somehow I can relate more. Thanks for sharing!

[@kw1lts]

Use the scraps and unused blocks for the binding. You know they will match!

[@joannewing3239]

This is my favorite Kimberly. A real go - to for me anyway. Because I can't seem to stop buying or cutting Layer Cakes from my fabric.

[@cosmocat12]

This is a gorgeous fabric line, I just used it in a jelly roll. I love the simplicity of this lap quilt and it could really show off the fabric. Thanks, your video was great.

[@kimberlyjolly9328]

Thanks, Tracey! We hope you decide to make the Layer Cake Lemonade!

[@kristahamby3275]

Another adorable quilt with adorable fabric that I can't get. One year behind such wonderful fabrics. Never fails I'm always a day late and a dollar short..

[@douglasprice1987]

Again you teach so calmly it's refreshing!

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Thank you Douglas! Hope you decide to sew the Layer Cake Lemonade!

[@gladtidings4all]

Thanks for showing us how to cut it and showing us how to sew it as well! Please do this with all your videos. I'm a newbie beginner sewer and want to make this quilt. Can you tell me how many layer cakes I need to make a 90" X 90" quilt. I want to make a reversible quilt using a different color scheme in the back as well. Thanks!❤️✂️

[@2425Megan]

Just found this tuturial and sooooo happy...because I have some Christmas fabric layer cakes to try out....thank you .

[@angelistic1111]

Yes - using the scraps for the binding work well and you know they will match for sure !!

[@quiltyladylike]

Great video!! Loved the moment you picked up the starch can! You really looked happy! Priceless!!

[@kimberlyjolly9328]

Well we love starch! Thanks for watching!

[@martipardun8928]

I used this to make my first quilt. It turned out great and I was so proud. Thank you for sharing this tutorial ❤

[@barbaraquilter9909]

I just made this quilt and did my newly learned free motion quilting in each of the large blocks! Showed off the quilt to my quilting group and they loved it! Used Fresh Lilacs (by Moda??) and it turned out beautifully - easy, quick and fun quilt to make!

[@deannakelly3398]

Omg I can't wait to make this! I have a layer cake just waiting for the perfect pattern!!

[@tiggermom0258]

I absolutely LOVE this quilt. And THANK you @kimberly for being so patient, precise and patient!

[@graceelizabeth2858]

I started watching this video and now by next week I am probably going to have 5 quilts because everything is so cute and I love to sew!

[@wendyhollow1458]

Just sent this to my daughter as I think it covers some very good points. Hugs WAH.

[@deewinston5651]

A very cute pattern and material is precious. Thank you Kimberly for sharing.❤️🎄

[@virginiamfc]

I also use many pins, it looks all most perfect. Thanks Kimberly, I also like this Ironing

[@kimberlyjolly9328]

Thans, Virginiamfc!

[@lindalober4353]

My BD is Valentines Day along with four other friends the same day. Thinking they get a bag and a quilt. Thanks for sharing this idea. The simplicity allows me to get them done in a timely manner. Love your video's, your so calm. Do you have any quilted bags that are this easy?

[@Daughterofsantini]

Great video - thanks! I'm inspired again to create. I also have learned some tips to help with accurate piecing from you. I like the pace of the video and how you explain things and don't just whip through it.

[@gwenmangelson]

I love Best Press for spraying!!!

[@carolsanderson9855]

Another great tutorial Kimberly! Your videos are a joy to watch! Thank you for being so generous with your ideas!

[@kimberlyjolly9328]

[@denisepineda1788]

I love this simple design. I have learned a lot by watching your videos. I love watching the whole process. Next time I head towards Austin, I'm going to try to make it by your shop.

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Thanks for your kind words, we truly appreciate your support. Also, we actually do not have a store-front since we are online only.

[@cwest3149]

great lesson......very thorough!

[@lilliansablan9091]

[@jonellwagner9871]

[@LQ327]

I love your tutorials KIMBERLY!!! I made this quilt it was so much fun and looks beautiful

[@MsTiLaJ]

This is a nice and easy afternoon pattern you can make pretty quickly:-) I think I'll try it so I can practice some quilting :-) Thank for sharing.

[@kimberlyjolly9328]

Thanks for watching, Tina! We hope you enjoy making the Layer Cake Lemonade!

[@tricia2897]

Thanks for sharing your quilts for free. I love your tutorials :)

[@mkum10]

As soon as i watched this video i knew right away what i was going to do with the layer cakes i had. only for the 10x10 print squares i used a solid. so i used 2 layer cakes and with the left over i added a border. all in all it only took me 2 hours from start to finish on this quilt top.

[@kimberlyjolly9328]

Monica, that sounds adorable! Be sure to share photos on the Fat Quarter Shop Facebook page or the Shortcut Quilts Flickr Group!

[@leawallis9499]

what is the name of the layer cake used to make the quilt on the right behind the presenter with the bright oranges? i love it! thanks for doing such a great video.

[@kathydunn8244]

So cute

[@QLT812]

a gorgeous quick quilt and thanks for sharing!

[@kimberlyjolly9328]

Thank you, QLT812! We hope you decide to make the Layer Cake Lemonade quilt!

[@NataliaBonner]

great video!

[@elizabethjohnson5299]

I love your videos and especially love the fast forward movement you have included, still showing the importance. Great job!

[@kimberlyjolly9328]

Elizabeth Johnson Thanks so much, Elizabeth! We are happy to have you watching!

[@alyondp1]

Wow I really like this pattern!!!

[@megb2116]

I would love to know which fabric line the quilt on the far left in the background is! I love that fabric! Thanks for the tutorial. I am excited to make this quilt!

[@kimberlyjolly9328]

Megan - the quilt on the far left is made with Wishes by Sweetwater for Moda Fabrics! It will be available in January!

[@galegiegerich5655]

Love this quilt but I have a general question. Why do you spray starch the finished top? What benefit does that give you? Thanks for sharing.

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Gale! Kimberly no longer sprays the finished quilt top.

[@pharbottle]

This is a great video, very easy to follow. Thank you! Is there any instruction on how to figure out the amount of backing fabric needed to complete this quilt? The person working on this quilt is actually working on her first quilt, so it's all new to her. Thanks again

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

CreativeGrammie Hello - if you download the PDF pattern it will tell you what the exact fabric requirements are needed. Here is the link: static.fatquartershop.com/media/wysiwyg/pdf/LCLemonade-Pattern.pdf It looks like you will need 3 1/4 yards of backing fabric.

[@deborahmaher511]

Great! I have some layer cakes that would be perfect!

[@kimberlyjolly9328]

Great! Be sure to post photos of your completed projects! We would love to see.

[@lindapucillo3493]

Thank you for making such informative videos. I’ve learned a lot by watching them. I do have a question. How do you decide what pattern to use when you quilt the top? I’ve made 4 large quilts that I brought to my quilt shop for quilting, and the choice of patterns is overwhelming! Any advice you could give will be very much appreciated!

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hi Linda! That choice is totally your preference! Some people prefer to get detailed and make things pop with their quilting, whereas other prefer an edge to edge pattern that highlights the themes of the quilt. Whatever you choose, we know it will surely look great!

[@valp22]

I Loved that Tutorial! I am going to try it!!

[@kimberlyjolly9328]

Thank you valp22! Be sure to share photos of your quilt on Facebook page!

[@gladtidings4all]

Please show us how to measure cut the backing and middle insert

[@gloriacampuzano5397]

Beautiful, thanks

[@stephaniespaltro3644]

so how many layer cakes would we need to make it a king size quilt? I am looking at my choices at your web site more and am not sure on how many I would need to purchase.

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hi Stephanie - we currently do not have size options for this particular quilt. If you check back in November we will be celebrating the anniversary for the pattern and will release size options at that time. Thanks for your question!

[@stephaniespaltro3644]

what about on your other quilts that do have the size options, if you didnt want to buy the charm packs and layer packs, and wanted to buy material by the yards, could you offer me some insight on how to figure that out? Sorry to be a pain, I am sure your busy!

[@catherinegoaack1629]

Fat Quarter Shop Where can I find the size options?

[@Beechnut2U]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@lorrainebryan3847]

Hi please could you advise if you have a tutorial for backing, edging etc ? Thanks

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Lorraine! Kimberly made a tutorial for backing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYGYimh4jaZ6pKc. We also had a livestream with Gina Tell of Thread Graffiti: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmjUqZeCmdt6d7M

[@merrikaybaxendale3445]

I need to make a full size quilt for my guest room. How many layer cakes or blocks extra for this please? Thank you

[@kellysherrard1361]

which model of Juki machine are u using?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Kelly! Kimberly uses the Juki TL-2010Q amzn.to/2onygue

[@grace2548]

I love it!!!!

[@kimberlyjolly9328]

Thanks for watching, Maria!

[@grammalinda100]

I would like to make this quilt larger...for my very tall brother. Can you tell me how to increase the size to twin size quit? Would adding 2 squares per row work? And perhaps another row or 2 of half squares?Just can't seem to wrap my mind around this one. Thank you in advance Linda

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hi Linda! To make this quilt twin-sized, adding 2 more squares on the Rectangle and Square rows will be make it wide enough. I would also add 2 more Rectangle rows and 2 more Square rows to make it tall enough for a twin.

[@psyched4sure]

I want to use this pattern for a twin bed cover does the pattern show how to add to it to make a twin size?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hi Vivian - we actually do not offer this pattern in a larger size, however if you just play around with some more Layer Cakes you should have a bed quilt in not time. Thanks for watching!

[@hstaneck]

Só nice!

[@dustydog1000]

Hello! I am wanting to pick my own fabrics instead of using pre-cut fabric. Any suggestions on how much fabric I will need to do a twin quilt? Thank you!

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Our quilt pattern shows how much fabric you will need for a twin size. static.fatquartershop.com/media/wysiwyg/pdf/LCLemonade-CompletePattern.pdf You will need 74 - 10" squares.

[@happybuddy95]

Hi I was wondering if you put batting in this quilt... If you did what kind do you recommend?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hi Lexi - we recommend using Hobbs 80/20. Thanks for your question!

[@beckywilson4797]

I wanted to know If it would be possible to make this smaller for a newborn baby. I wanted to use the giraffe crossing stacker/layer cake Thanks

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hi Becky! You can make the quilt smaller. For a 38” x 46.5” size, you will need 22 squares, so you will need two Giraffe Crossing 10” Stackers. In Step 1, divide them into 10 squares for Rectangle Rows and 12 squares for Square Rows. Step 2, assemble three rows of four squares for Square Rows. Step 3, assemble two rows of five squares for Rectangle Rows. Continue trimming and cutting as Step 4 and 5 state, but you will use all of your four cut Rectangle Rows. Assemble, alternating the Rectangle and Square Rows!

[@joy1151952]

One other question not pertaining to the quilt itself. I love the size of the table you are using. Can you tell me where I can get that table?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

We actually had this table custom made to fit my height. You can find other similar work tables at Ikea I've noticed.

[@joy1151952]

I am a fairly new quilter. Can you explain to me why is it that you only pin on the bottom end of the blocks when you are sewing the blocks together? Thanks!!

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

When joining rows or quilt blocks you want to use pins for accuracy. Sometimes fabric shifts and we don't want that to happen. In the case, we pined the bottom because that is the area we want to meet up with our other piece exactly. Hope that makes since. Thanks for your question!

[@sewbizgirl]

What pretty hands you have!

[@Melissa1957]

Wonderful tutorial, wondering, what kind of machine are you using.?

[@Catlover-zb8dv]

The link to the sewing machine she's using is in the discription below this video.

[@grandmac43]

The quilt top looks great! I may be able to make one of these. ;-) What is the purpose of the spray starch on the quilt top? Thanks.

[@kimberlyjolly9328]

Thanks, Carol! Kimberly uses spray starch when pressing to keep the fabric crisp and to keep her cutting accurate!

[@lorirobinson6521]

this pattern shows 3 1/4 yards for backing. do you have a video that shows this part or what all that material is used for? this is only my second quilt attempt. thank you

[@littlemissdallas]

Can someone please answer this?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

+littlemissdallas You will be making a "quilt sandwich" by layering your quilt top, batting and backing prior to quilting. We haven't made a Backing Tutorial video quite yet, however here is a link to a video you might find of interest, kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHnTfWlvq6mGhqs

[@littlemissdallas]

thank you, the problem i was having was figuring out how to make the backing wider but i figured it out

[@matze7449]

Hello Cimberly, thank you so much for this amazing Tutorial and the Patter. But still i have a question, it is possible to order this used Layer Cake from (or of/by?) Moda and ship it to Europe? I can't find it here - so if there is a opportunity please tell me. Thank you Tante Matze

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

+Der Matze The Layer Cake is called Surrounded by Love by Deb Strain for Moda Fabrics. We have long sold out of this collection so i'm unable to help you further in your search. Here is a link to our other Layer Cakes you might find of interest: www.fatquartershop.com/layer-cakes Good luck.

[@carolfutch8534]

Hello! Have you all came out with the size options for this quilt? I was wanting to make this bigger. Thanks in advance!

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

+Carol Futch Actually instead of making this quilt bigger, we made smaller versions using a Mini Charm Pack and a Charm Pack. Check out the following link to our blog: fatquartershop.blogspot.com/2015/11/layer-cake-lemonade-anniversary.html To make this bigger, you would simply need to add more blocks to each row. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

[@carolfutch8534]

Thanks so much! I appreciate your response!

[@kellysherrard257]

what kind of ironing board are u using?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Kelly! That is the Steady Betty Press and Pin: www.fatquartershop.com/steady-betty-press-and-pin-15-x-24-board

[@corinneherring8387]

What is the name of the fabric that you used on the back of the quilt made of the Surrounded by Love layer cake? Is it one of the fabrics from that same line?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hi Corrine! We used fabric from Surrounded by Love for the backing. Here is the sku we used: www.fatquartershop.com/surrounded-by-love-white-chocolate-fireworks-yardage

[@bettyscott1995]

Can this be made into a larger size quilt?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello Betty! Yes, but you will need to figure out how many rows and columns to add.

[@holliesteban3671]

Can you give me fabric requirements to make a twin quilt?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hi Holli, yes you can find them here: blog.fatquartershop.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/LCLemonade-CompletePattern.pdf

[@Bryanmn]

I'm finding it harder and harder to find laundry spray starch in stores. Is there a recipe for making your own starch solution?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

+Brenda Ryan Not that i'm aware of, you can also purchase it on Amazon here: amzn.to/1RiLbjwv

[@user-iy4jk5ul4q]

Супер! Молодец!

[@FoxiChiChi]

Please please please someone tell me what type of iron that is, and where can I get one....or three.....

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

+Bianca Rollins Hello - the iron you are referring to is called the Oliso iTouch Iron and you can find a link here: amzn.to/1n9vDH9 Thanks for watching!

[@FoxiChiChi]

+Fat Quarter Shop thanks for the information, and thank you for making quilting easy. It's nice to know that I can quilt too. Thanks so much!

[@sherrypell7146]

+Bianca Rollins You can get them at JoAnns or Online.Oliso touch Iron

[@woolenhat5796]

Is there a video for backing your quilt?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

We actually do not have a video for quilt backing yet. Sorry about that.

[@woolenhat5796]

Thanks, thats the bit im struggling with. I sprayed it witht eh adhesive but it still moves around. :-(

[@jeannesmith2018]

Place your backing on a table that is large enough to hold it (I use a ping pong table). Smooth is out and tape it around the edges with masking tape. Be careful not to stretch the fabric, but do make it "snug". Lay your batting on top of this, smoothing it as well. Then add your top and again smooth it. Pin your layers together with safety pins, avoiding your intended quilting lines. I use a Kwik Klip to aid in the pinning. Look it up on Nancy's Notions (that's where I purchased mine). Good luck!

[@CloudyWishes]

i need that iron Kimberly

[@kimberlyjolly9328]

Cloudy Wishes - the iron is the Oliso Smart Iron Pro! We love this iron!

[@CloudyWishes]

Thankyou xxx

[@jmjohnston88]

why do you spray it with starch

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hello! Starch helps stiffen the fabric, which helps with more precise, accurate cutting, especially for small pieces. See her method here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5LHl3t7odJknJo

[@AllisonNorris13]

💜☮️

[@cheriek60]

why is it important to use 100% cotton thread?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Fabric is 100% cotton so using cotton the thread will not break over time since same material. Hope that is helpful!

[@jojodesca]

do you have any videos where you actually finish the quilt?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hi Joann - we have a few videos that feature binding as the tutorial. But we haven't done a video on piecing your backing fabrics. Is there a topic you would like to see on our channel?

[@jojodesca]

i'm a new quilter, and find your top tutorials great, but i need to finish the quilt, and can not find any tutorials that go into depth on this

[@Daughterofsantini]

joann descallar - there are lots of Facebook groups or Yahoo groups. I started by using books from the library. Once you get the quilt top done, I find that's the hardest part. Then you just assemble the top, batting in the middle, and backing, and sew through the layers and put on binding. There are a lot of ways to accomplish that, but those are the basics, and if you join a group, people will help you out and help you learn.

[@jojodesca]

know how to finish a quilt, I would just like to see their video,,...

[@Daughterofsantini]

Sorry, I misunderstood. Good luck!

[@rapnacek3074]

Why do you call it a "shortcut Quilt"?

[@FatQuarterShopTX]

Hi Rhonda - we call it a Shortcut Quilt because this series is targeted to precut-friendly, beginner quilts. We try to make shortcuts in each pattern to make these quilts even quicker to finish. Thanks for your question.
