Love the design of the half-circles and your layout- a more modern look for a holiday quilt.

[@sweetcake405]

I can see this with old jeans and flannel shirts, a great memory quilt. thank you so much

[@LyndaEriccson]

These half circles would be a perfect place to use some of the decorative stitches that are built into my machine. Would really add a touch of whimsy to this quilt.

[@valerieenglish3468]

I really like the new binding fabric! It's such a great idea. I might try this invisible thread as it's actually a thin polyester. They even have a smoke color for darker colored fabrics. Thanks for the tutorial, Misty!

[@marlahanks7278]

This would make a great rag quilt, too!! Cut the fusible even smaller & instead of sewing on the edge of the 1/2 circle, sew in 1/8" to 1/4" so when it's washed it frays 😊😊 Just an idea!

[@ellenbr59]

That's a great idè. That would look cool for teens.

[@ellenbr59]

What sice on the needle?

[@sweetcake405]

@@ellenbr59 awesome idea!

[@chickenlips605]

Anyone else crack up at the intro where Misty’s son (?) just throws the puzzle piece across the table instead of all nicey-nicey?!? Keeping it real😂😂 love it!

[@vickiheath6133]

I really love art gallery fabrics. They feel like Silk. Your pattern is adorable.

[@michelleswistak1389]

Agree, the binding fabric is awesome, what a great idea!

[@sheiladove1718]

Such a fun easy quilt!! I'm a new quilter. I love the fun binding and the backing too.

[@stephanieadams7734]

The fabric for the binding is so cute! Can't wait to get some!!

[@AWIL_MaxMar]

WOW, so einfach hätte ich nicht gedacht. Vielen Dank Mist für die ganze Erklärung. Gesundheit, weiter viel Erfolg und Spaß. Liebe Grüße ❤❤

[@dianakranning9843]

Love this quilt and can't say enough about your material choice, so cute and fun. Thank you Misty!

[@alicekalorian8043]

WOW ... that binding fabric is a brilliant idea. So many possible themes!!! Anxious to see more. Oh, and I love the easy half circle quilt pattern.

[@nanashouse202]

Thanks. This is a great tutorial.

[@suejameson1517]

Yes, I do hope we see more binding fabric! What a great idea!

[@jeanielipskey1272]

Such cute Christmas fabric!

[@DonnaTardiff]

I love the idea of binding fabric. Like Misty I hope to see more!

[@vickirowe4485]

That looks easy to do. I like the circles. Thanks Misty

[@tracymason7483]

So cute

[@19Celia57]

LOVE this quilt! A definite "must do"!!!

[@donnalewis2858]

How do you miter the boarder strips?

[@pauletteliddell2923]

Love this idea. So very cute. Thank you. ❤❤

[@settame1]

I’d love to see an inset curved piece like this. I like doing curves more than I like appliqué.

[@annelloyd5166]

Wow wow it lovely and fabrics good work 💯🪡🧵✂️💐🌹🤩🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 happy sewing Day.

[@heatherdavishandmade]

So cute! Would love to see a version where you teach us set-in circles and how to miter the corners. 😊

[@dianajones8598]

I really like this quilt. I am excited to do one for my son.!

[@lindaskinner5887]

Beautiful quilt, thanks for sharing. ❤

[@sherryfaires7931]

I really like this quilt! What kind and size needle do you use with the invisible thread? What size thread do you use in the bobbin? Thanks!

[@barbarastefani254]

Thank you

[@lmorgan1028]

Just beautiful! Can you please do a tutorial on how to miter the quilt corners 😊

[@carmenmaldonado2982]

So cute. Thanks for sharing

[@WaterfallFW]

Really cute!

[@stephaniehill655]

So cute, thank you for sharing

[@Jean2235177]

Fun fabric line!

[@Marlenemaise72-cc2dt]

So so cute ❤❤❤❤

[@fortnitestreamers624]

Great job!

[@dianehuntley2493]

Nice quilt😊

[@kirana51]

Love it!

[@NannaLiz]

This is so cute! Does invisible thread get damaged in the dryer? Thanks

[@vanessathome2326]

Wondering too

[@Jean2235177]

It’s a matte polyester thread versus the nylon monofilament thread. Polyester does much better in the wash.

[@annsimmons3367]

My first choice would be to make a pattern for the hourglass shape and just sew it on the top instead of doing all the half circles.

[@Dbatem]

Totally agree! I think this is a very large waste of fabric and doing the hourglass insert would make much more sense.

[@robinwhiddon5728]

What size stitch do you use to appliqué this ? I love the quilt. Definitely want to do this. ❤

[@amandaschoeph1539]

Beautiful fabric! Is the box of fusible available for purchase?

[@colettesorrells9015]

❤❤❤

[@susankennedy-yu8uc]

Seems like this would be stiff with 2 layers of fabric plus the fusible. Even using no fusible still leaves double fabric. Thoughts?

[@debbiekeeble]

Which invisible thread is used and which type fusible for the half circles?

[@rosemeritomio3575]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@suehackett9621]

My question is how many washing and drying does this invisible thread last. I am not sure I would waste my time using it. Maybe for wall hanging that only gets washed minimally but not an active everyday quilt!

[@valerieenglish3468]

Hi- this is a polyester thread - not nylon, so I'm thinking it should hold up pretty well.

[@sheliaheverin8822]

So the thread is not like the "fishing line" type thread of the past and won't melt?

[@HopeS.Philbrick]

Love the look of this, but wish it was sewing curves. I am not a fan of fusible or invisible thread.

[@noramurdock2569]

Does invisible thread feel like rough plastic ? Is it suitable for a bed quilt?

[@valerieenglish3468]

The thread Misty is using is a polyester, not nylon thread- so it should be soft enough

[@marytillman372]

👻👻

[@deborahvensel2572]

My machine does not like invisible thread!

[@DebBaconPersonal]

Did I hear correctly 5/8 of a yard for the backing?

[@paulahiatt9102]

She did *say 5/8 but the I for on website states 5yd

[@LyndaEriccson]

These half circles would be a perfect place to use some of the decorative stitches that are built into my machine. Would really add a touch of whimsy to this quilt.
