Make a No-Cut Fat Quarter Quilt in 3 Hours with 9 Fabrics

[@melaniewilson6064]

I love your quilt! Fabrics are beautiful and you were so wise to not cut them up. My 8 yr old grandson Jack, asked me to help him make a quilt for a pioneer assignment in his 3rd grade school class. He decided he wanted to “shop” my stash and chose 9 favorite fabrics which I cut into fat quarters. He then arranged them on my design wall until he was satisfied with the arrangement. He sewed each row together until he had the quilt top completed. This took a few hrs of one Saturday. I then loaded it on my long arm and the following Saturday he “drew” with the needle squiggly lines, circles, triangles etc, until his quilt was completely quilted mostly by himself with a little steering from grandma. I then bound it with scrappy binding like you did. His favorite part was the quilting and there never was a more proud little boy! I wish you could see his picture of him in front of his masterpiece!

What a beautiful way to encourage people new to quilting it’s important to know that you don’t always have to make a specific block it’s okay to relax and enjoy ❤

[@CraftyQuiltingDesigns]

I’ve been fearful of FMQ but this pattern seems worth a try; taking it one block at a time. ❤ I also love quilting with wavy lines …it results in a very puckered quilt. So cozy feeling!!❤❤ Thank you for sharing this. 😊

[@CraftyQuiltingDesigns]

You can do it!

[@deetorres424]

Beautiful way to use that quarters that you don’t wanna cut up or even cut pieces off of you like in large patterns. Love your videos. From NC USA.

[@guesswhonancy9028]

Love the quilt and the quilting

[@patcorona5979]

You are right, cutting the fabric would have been a disrespectful. You allowed the fabric to shine. BEAUTIFUL! You also have the best background music.

[@SuperBettyboop23]

Oh my goodness is so beautiful I totally love the wavy lines that really gives it a gorgeous look I don’t know if I want anyone sitting on it at the park but I do love it as a throw or a wall hanging, colors are awesome❣️🪡🧵✂️💓💕💗💖

Absolutely beautiful! Fabric is GORGEOUS, and the curvy line quilting brings wonderful texture! I believe I just might try it!!!

[@Stitcher_in_MD]

I really like the way you quilted it, one block at a time! Can’t wait to try that! Your quilt is so cheery and vibrant! Thank you for sharing!!

@@Stitcher_in_MD best approach 1 block at a time

[@Bon_ie]

Thanks!

[@claudiaross239]

🤯 it's never occurred to me to quilt in shorter rows, I'll DEFINITELY try this method!

[@elisabethkiesel4567]

Same here! I usually just go from end to end but this is fantastic.

[@stepoff1277]

I noticed that too and thought how genius and why hadn't I thought of that. 😅

[@stepoff1277]

Was the fabric canvas? It looks like canvas which could be a heavier quilt. But, some like heavier. And would make a great picnic quilt as well. Love how modern and bold it is! And can't forget how quick!!

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Lovely quilt❤

[@deenagraham5488]

A very creative way to use fat quarters (especially when you don't want to cut it up). Enjoyed this video!

[@macnart]

The freehand stitching really took it to another level! Love it and will give it a try.

[@christinereeves353]

This is a great pattern for those prints and it made a great wall quilt as you showed. It might work well with our Kaffe Fasset fabrics that some of us can’t bear to cut up. I’m gonna keep it in mind for the large prints that I have in my stash. Also a really fast to piece and quilt idea for charity quilts I’m thinking.

[@CraftyQuiltingDesigns]

@@christinereeves353 yes I agree Kaffe Fasset fabric will be good use for the idea you are totally correct

[@rubirodz8772]

Love the idea and it turned out beautiful 😍. I've always considered quilting but was afraid of getting overwhelmed in the process. This totally doesn't seem so scary anymore. Thanks for sharing 👍

I learned some thing from you today. I never thought to stand while quilting on my home sewing machine. I’m going to try that on my next quilt. I also like the wavy line quilting you chose. Also that you quilted each square individually, rather than do the whole length of the quilt. Thank you! Have a blessed day.

Fabulous and inspiring! Thank you for showing us how you free motion quilted the wavy lines. Block by block ~ I think I can do it! FMQing scares me, but you simplified it enough I will try it on a sample quilt block. Your intuition was correct not to cut up those beautiful large pieces of fabric! The final piece shows you have great vision for color and arrangement.

Stunning quilting. I have some aboriginal fabric I have been collecting for a few years to make a quilt for myself that I was thinking to leave the fat quarters whole. And also some Ankara African fabric I brought back from Ghana West Africa. But this way of quilting is very exciting. Can you please tell me what color thread you used? I was thinking its a light grey maybe? Just found your channel new subscriber.

[@CraftyQuiltingDesigns]

HI thanks for subscribing I use Rasant threads it was a cream color light peach the number is x0511 I also made a few aboriginal quilts here are the links kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZuZc3etd8t3h7c kzbin.info/www/bejne/eavNfnV8hs6WbZo

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

With your other 2 florals, could you put plain colour piano key borders on 2 opposite sides, and make 2 pillow cases to go with the quilt? Or put one flower on each side of one pillow case? Or just make 2 square cushion covers for you couch, and throw the guilt on the back? Lovely idea you had. Have fun.
