Let me show you how to make this beginner friendly quilt!

My mom's asked to start a new quilt - and rather than turn to a pattern...she's asked me to come up with something. So, I figured we could make a quilt building on a skill she's already become familiar with...and I'd bring you along with a Quilt Tutorial and Pattern! Join me for an in-depth tutorial showing you how I made my 'Dancing Squares' quilt pattern - and stick around to learn some of my tips & tricks for how I tackled this project!

[@SaraMc-ez2mv]

I do my borders like you! I also don’t pre wash! And on the rare occasion I use pins…..sometimes I sew over them! Quilt police come and get me 🤪

[@sewbecca]

bahahahahaha!!!!

[@pamlacey136]

Becca, you are excellent teacher, very clearly explained and demonstrated. Thank you so much for sharing it. I will almost always chose a quilt with black background, that’s just what I like. I am sure your mom’s quilt will also be very pretty. Happy quilting to you both.

[@patstrawhouse4005]

Great tutorial! I think the to quite-black is the perfect choice once again. Mamma Nancy’ quilt will be beautiful. ❤️ Muskoka ON 🇨🇦

[@sewbecca]

Thank you! 😊

[@susyk6839]

Borders done by measuring center side to side and top to bottom….otherwise my borders would wave and wave terribly. I am a sucker for lime green but I love your mom’s too…reminds me of cotton candy! Thank you for sharing!

[@auntielhandmade2099]

If it's a special quilt, I measure. If it's a throw around quilt, I put borders on like you do. Your quilt is beautiful

[@sewbecca]

Thank you!

[@barbmckinlay5108]

I add borders your way. I like your colors a bit better but ask again when they are both complete side by side. Great video Becca, thank you.

[@shirleykessinger7777]

I'm with you, I grab and sew. Works for me and I've never had a problem.

[@sewbecca]

Maybe I’m not the odd one out here!

[@peggersf9709]

@@sewbeccanope-I’m right there with ya 😂😂

[@tearose3763]

Love your videos and tutorials Becca❤❤❤

[@sewbecca]

Glad you like them!

[@chriswilford3576]

Love both colour ways, the black one would be great for a picnic 🧺 or in the car. Mum’s colour way would be great for the bed or couch ❤❤❤❤

[@sewbecca]

Great tips!

[@imogenethomas1138]

I love your quilt! Most of my adult quilts have some black. I use it a lot for background fabric. We are a messy bunch, and if something runs, it’s not a big deal on black.

[@trinataco4493]

I have been patiently waiting for this, thank you!! Just ordered Tula Pink dots and striped neon and am totally going to make this quilt using her fabric!

[@sewbecca]

You're very welcome! Enjoy!

[@cathyhasfaith6991]

Thank you so much for this video! Couldn’t get it live, but have all I need. Thanks again Becca! So glad I joined your channel and VIP! ❤

[@sewbecca]

No worries - it wasn't a livestream, just a pre-recorded video!

[@cathietaggart4307]

Thanks for taking the extra time showing how to square up a block. Big help for us beginners 😊 to understand it more.

[@sewbecca]

You are so welcome!

[@peggyfanning9258]

Your quilt is beautiful! Thank you for the tutorial.

[@sewbecca]

You are so welcome!

[@tamelasimmons7]

Both quilts are gorgeous and I honestly cannot choose one. I just make long strips and put borders on without stretching them and then cut it off. I make sure I have the corner cut squared. As a longer armer I know that is the best way to have a corner that doesn’t go downhill when being long armed. Well, in my opinion. 😂

[@mathgeek7966]

I love both the colorways 😊 and also just grab and sew on the borders. Congrats on the new pattern!

[@sewbecca]

Thanks! I love how drastically different both quilts look from just changing the colors!

[@alexandra-zaza-burns]

I tend to do what you do as long as I don’t pull the fabric it’s fine. I only measure if it’s a pieced border that has to be a specific length because of the pattern pieces in the border. You should do more tutorials you are really good at them.

[@sewbecca]

Thank you!

[@gracepatane9384]

Love this pattern, & both quilts look fantastic! I almost always go with black fabric, so I think your Mom’s quilt would be a nice change for me. And, sorry Becca, but I am a pin error the boarder strips!! Thanks for doing this tutorial!

[@LambChop00S]

Love this quilt and tutorial. I love both of your colorways. I have not actually done a lot of borders because I did them the "right" way and don't like it. So I am definitely trying it your way on the continuum, which I'm still working on. Thank you for the video!

[@trudyoakley3186]

Yep lob on your way !!!! Can't pick Love them both .Thank you for sharing.

[@sewbecca]

Thanks for watching!!

[@laurag8641]

I love the black because it pops those other colors. I love your mom’s because it reminds me of Spring, one of my favorite seasons here in Florida! It’s a toss-up for me! lol

[@sewbecca]

I do think hers will be super pretty when it's done!

[@aNewYorkBeauty]

What a fun surprise!!

[@lorainer9988]

I like the black

[@rhondahallet8413]

Love the blue and pink but the citron color not so much. It's very jarring. Your tutorial is great. I really want to make this quilt now!

[@kimdavenport9820]

I love that quilt pattern ❤❤❤❤

[@sewbecca]

Thank you!

[@rosemarywinter1840]

Hi girls from Norfolk England xxxx

[@sewbecca]

Hello! 👋🏻

[@Mairinsc]

I like the black quilt. I never measure borders.Tiffaney mentioned the Robert Kaufman app I’m going to try that next time

[@susanyearout1709]

I used to sew and then trim, but lately have cut borders to size, pin from center before I sew. I love your black background better..

[@sewbecca]

That black background works nicely with the colors I picked!

[@sewingqueen11]

I put my borders on the same way you do.I see no problem with it.

[@angelamyers1201]

It's so interesting that you have such straight lines, but the contrast makes it look all wonky! I think my presser foot (or my feed dogs?) are not set properly, because every time I try borders your way I get wavy borders! So I measure 3 places, average them together and then cut the borders that way. It takes longer, but I have no issues with my borders this way (unless I measure incorrectly!)

[@peggyfanning9258]

All of us long armers appreciate the way you do it. It truly helps prevents waviness.

[@greggaudet6064]

Looks like licorice all sort candies, Xmas candles,going to make all the different ones.sheshell

[@Love2Quilt]

Hi Becca

[@sewbecca]

Hello! 👋🏻

[@patriciapriest908]

With Black

[@jannyrosario9720]

Love them both ❤ what is the size of that ruler you used to cut your strips? I put on my borders exactly the same way 🤣

[@sewbecca]

Quilters select 8.5 x 12

[@karenbrunette6314]

Fantastic instructions Becca ❤it both are beautiful. I do borders the way Tiffany does them lol

[@sewbecca]

Thank you!

[@Sylvia907]

Lol I avoid borders. Beautiful quilts

[@sewbecca]

LOL You know...that might be one technique!

[@MamaJEnterprises]

Awesome pattern and tutorial Becca! I also do my borders like you do. I even do my squares like that. As long as I square up each block each step, just as you did, it saves me cutting all those pieces and then keeping track of them. At almost 70 years old, I try to save every step I can. Times a tickin' and I have a lot of quilts I want to do before I cannot any more. Great Job! Have a super blessed week.

[@sewbecca]

I try to spend more time making sure I'm super accurate when I'm piecing the blocks together - but tend to throw caution to the wind when the borders come in LOL

[@Sewwithdebee]

Really like the colors used, were you working on this when Sewing with Donnell ?

[@sewbecca]

Yes!

[@sandrariehl7483]

Hello everyone 🌺🌺

[@sewbecca]

Hello! 👋🏻

[@guesswhonancy9028]

Girl I love them both but the black makes the colors pop

[@jennyharris2993]

I do the same thing with borders. I don’t measure either. It’s just an extra step

[@sewbecca]

Sounds like I'm not in the minority!

[@paulajernigan4867]

there both pretty but I like your moms

[@BrendaH289]

Are you the only daughter?

[@sewbecca]

Nope! I have 2 sisters and a brother!

[@BrendaH289]

Well she called you her favorite 😂😂❤

[@BrendaH289]

Thank you for showing how to fold the material and cut. I always hoped I was doing it right😂 squaring up after every round is important, I can see that but what a pain in the butt!

[@levinahiscock8069]

Lovely fabric

[@sewbecca]

Thank you so much 😊
