Make A Baby Quilt In A Weekend Straight Line Sewing So Easy

[@lindacarpenter2132]

I really like this quilt

[@sweetcountrylivinginmichigan]

Thank you! It was fun to make. Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment!

It’s nice to see a reasonable sewing machine being used. So many times I see high priced Janomes, Berninas, and Babylocks. It takes away from the “real world”, sometimes. Yay Singer!

[@sweetcountrylivinginmichigan]

I’ve had the expensive machines. It wasn’t near as powerful as my Singer Heavy Duty sewing machine. I love this machine, it does everything I need and it only cost $200 dollars. Thanks for your comment and for watching!

[@oldhaglady62]

I have the same machine, so far I haven’t had any issues, it’s been great. I’m really happy to see quilting done….I made my first quilt a few weeks ago, it wasn’t the greatest, but I was able to pull it off (it was made from old tee shirts). I was worried about the batting being too difficult to sew with a typical machine, I don’t have anything fancy😁 Thanks to the OP for sharing the work done, I love the quilt, it’s beautiful and looks comfy. I’m looking to make a few baby quilts for any future grandchildren 😀 I’d love to get that extended part for the sewing machine that can hold more fabric, I have to look for it!

[@sweetcountrylivinginmichigan]

@@oldhaglady62 I love this machine. It is a real work horse. Tough and will go through so much. I’m so glad you are quilting. It is so fun! Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching!

@@sweetcountrylivinginmichiganWhere did you get this sewing machine for $200? Does it have metal cams? I would love to own one - much better than the janome I have!

[@sweetcountrylivinginmichigan]

Thank you! I love it too! It is so easy! Quilting doesn’t have to be hard. Thank you so much for your comment and thank you for watching.

[@sandybruce9092]

I guess I’m sort of a traditionalist as I still like those older quilt patterns like this nine patch! Just changing the pink to another color changes the whole feel of this quilt! It can be very modern, or 1930s or even Civil War styles - all of which I like! Make the 9- patch,blocks bigger or even smaller - just have fun!!!

[@sweetcountrylivinginmichigan]

I love that!! That is so true. So many choices! Thanks for watching!

[@sandybruce9092]

I’m so glad you made this video and I’m as good as bilingual. 😅 Haven’t found introductions for patchwork quilts in german language to satisfy me but I don’t mind it that much because I love to learn it first hand by Americans and or Canadians.❤

[@jeannetteaugstein3793]

Please let me know what you use to put in between the linen? I do have a guess but I’m grateful for you to give me a clue. Thanks in advance 😊

I will try and finish my grandmothers quilt she pieced together years ago and never got to finish. When my kids were young, I would send the top finished piece along with with back piece and batting ( From TX to MI), and she would hand finish them. She did not go out in the winter much and it gave her something to do. I love those quilts she made for me.

[@sweetcountrylivinginmichigan]

I love that! Thank you for sharing that. That is so sweet.

Yesterday was Sew A Jelly Roll Day so get yourself a jelly roll print and a jelly roll light or even reverse this and use a car in place of the white and use a light jelly roll in place of the pink! So many choices!

[@sweetcountrylivinginmichigan]

Great idea!

[@beatrizlopez364]

Wonderful job. Your quilt is lovely, and you make it look so easy to do. Thank you.

[@sweetcountrylivinginmichigan]

Thank you! For several years, I thought I could never be a quilter and then I figured out how to do it. I found out it really wasn’t that hard. That is my goal to show others that they can do it too. Thank you so much for your comment and for watching!

[@LUCINDA2789]

Couldn't keep up with the Way you were quilting it but , maybe show a slower video of it I m sure it keeps the back from puckering witch it happens to me a lot Thanks for sharing your video .❤

[@sweetcountrylivinginmichigan]

I really appreciate your feedback. I was worried that it would be too fast. I am getting ready to work on another quilt this week and I will try to slow it down. Thank you for your suggestion, your comment and for watching!

[@msnelson98]

You can slow down the playback in this video. Go to settings on upper right hand corner. It helped me.

[@ellenhofer3343]

You can slow the videoo down yourself.

I am so glad, it is a fun pattern. Thanks for watching!

[@maryquilter4154]

Hello, love this quilt pattern, very nice and easy for beginner like me. I can figure how you get the 40” using 2.5” strips and 6” squares, including the border, [ six 6” squares per row plus 4” border = 40”] but I can’t figure how to get 30” for the 30” x 40” quilt, [ five 6” squares = 30” plus 4” border = 36”], [ four 6” squares plus 4” border = 28” ]. I think I’m missing something. Would you help me out with this? Thank you for any information.

[@sweetcountrylivinginmichigan]

They are 6 1/2 inch squares. Hope that helps. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching!

[@raeboyd5596]

Ok got my material and going to try this one! Not sure i can get it done over the weekend but hey, im gonna start. Ive only ever made 1 quilt and i chose a rag quilt for my first but i think i can pull this off. Its so pretty, ive gotta try it.

[@sweetcountrylivinginmichigan]

That is great! I love hearing that you are going to try!! You don't have to get it done fast, which is the nice thing. You can make it as big or as small as you want! I love it so much too! Thank you so much for your very nice comment and for watching!

[@raeboyd5596]

@@sweetcountrylivinginmichigan wait a minute. I had to run an errand and was trying to decide if I can do this because I don't have one of those rulers. I have a 2.5inch wide that's 9.5 inches long. And a 12 inch square. This is why I don't do quilts it's too much math and geometry. If I cut 12 inch long strips, I cannot get 2 blocks out of that so I think I'll use my 9 incher and cut 7.5inch long strips. That would be the best smaller scale thing to do yes?

[@sweetcountrylivinginmichigan]

You definitely can still make it. You could just make smaller stripe sets and put those together. It might take longer, but that’s no problem.

[@ellenhofer3343]

You should be able to cut it out in the morning and sew it in the afternoon. I don't use pins, I use spray fabric glur or even dots of Elmer's stick glue. Then, quilt it the next day.

[@sweetcountrylivinginmichigan]

@@ellenhofer3343 That is a great idea.

I love this going to start for a friend but I am terrible at math Can you please tell me how much yardage I need for the baby quilt Ill prob bind in the pattern colour, ty so much

[@sweetcountrylivinginmichigan]

I need to remember to add that in my videos. Thank you for pointing that out. I believe I had a yard of each color and then a yard for the back. But you may need more depending on the size you go with. Thank you for your comment and thanks for watching!

[@ldk461]

@@sweetcountrylivinginmichigan ty so much

[@ellenhofer3343]

It noted to know how much yardage you need, you have to know how large the quilt will be. Not helpful at all.

@@ellenhofer3343it’s called a Single Irish Chain quilt pattern. Do a quick search for the yardage in the size you need.

[@yolandagubish5084]

Do you back stitch at every end of pieces?

[@sweetcountrylivinginmichigan]

I probably do. You don’t usually need to do that when you are putting a quilt together. I do it out of habit.

[@marrycorreia8988]

Love the pattern, no mention of size, how many blocks, how many strips of pink or white, but very easy to follow just no measurements thank you

[@sweetcountrylivinginmichigan]

I did that because everyone makes them different. Size really doesn’t matter. This was a baby quilt size. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching!

[@susantrevino4053]

is there a list of material and tools to make this quilt?

[@sweetcountrylivinginmichigan]

Just the tools I use during the video. The amount of fabric will depend on how big you make it. That is the great thing about quilting. You decide the size. I hope that helped. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching.

[@tinadenike2357]

What stitch length did you use to quilt the top??

[@sweetcountrylivinginmichigan]

I had the setting on 4. I hope that helps. Thanks for your comment and thank you for watching.

[@sherrybeeson7893]

Love this video and quilt!! I'm going to try it, too! Thank you for the inspiration! I'm worried about quilting it, though. You mentioned doing another baby quilt with more quilting details...can you tell me which one that would be? Looked like you did the center 4 squares (?), then started working around the rest before doing the long line sewing. ?? I just live how yours turned out!

[@elainegregurich5125]

Looks like 6 1/4 on that square, not 6 1/2.

[@sweetcountrylivinginmichigan]

Yes, you are correct.

[@montareina2265]

Do you have an email address? I would like to print out this pattern and how to make it. Please advise how I may do this.

[@sweetcountrylivinginmichigan]

You can email me @ [e-mail] I don't have a pattern for this quilt. I am mainly showing how to build the block. The amount of fabric you will need will depend on how big of a quilt you want to make. I hope that helps. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching!

[@RitaBagley-cb9tm]

where is the pattern for this

[@sweetcountrylivinginmichigan]

Just follow as I go along. I like to just show the block. You make it whatever size you want…as many blocks as you want. That is the fun part about quilting. Thank you for your comment and thanks for watching!
