May the Force be with You!!! Making Star Wars Quilts

[@barbaratucker3943]

Yes please on details to Mathemagical Quilt. Endless possibilities!

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Thanks Barbara - I'll add it to the list of videos to make!

[@bethkoch11]

Hi Michelle! You've certainly been hard at work! I'd love to see a tutorial on the math magical quilt. Your "Blue Hawaii" quilt is gorgeous by the way! In our house, although of course we love Star Wars, my husband and I are actually bigger Star Trek fans. My daughter, however, was raised on Star Wars - the first movie came out when she was about 6 or 7 and she's been a die-hard fan ever since.

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Hi Beth - I hope the two universes don't collide too often! 😜 I've been thrilled to hear from so many fans of both and I'll definitely put a tutorial together soon. Thanks for watching.

[@shannonr3719]

Yes, please, i would love more detail tutorial on Math- magical 😊

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Thanks Sharron! I'll put something together soon. Thanks for watching.

[@judyhammack6310]

Hi Michele! Love this layout. Please do a tutorial for it. I have some fabric that would be perfect for this. Very exciting, indeed!!! Great job. Thank you for sharing your talent with us! ❤

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Hi Judy! Thanks for your feedback. I'm working on the video and pattern now - it will hopefully be out in a few weeks.

[@WayneJordan71]

Anyone else spend most of the video trying to see which Star Wars fabric she had that we don't have, and which I have? I do have a good stash of SW fabric which I only used a little to do a light-side and dark-side quilt with just squares. Love to see ideas on how to used this type of fabric.

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Hi Wayne! It's an impressive collection, isn't it!! Mom bought most of it from a fabric store called Len's Mill Store (there are 12 locations in Southern Ontario). And other pieces have been picked up from various places over the years. There is a free pattern for both the chandelier quilt and Mathemagical on my website: www.bitsandpiecesquilting.com. And some of the Star Wars fans in my life *might* be getting SW quilted toiletry bags for Christmas. 😉

[@natfrisby-smith9640]

Hello, Michelle. Thanks for sharing your wonderful creations. I would love a more in-depth tutorial on making & construction of the Math-Magical Quilt. 💙

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Thanks Nat! I've gotten such great response; I'll definitely put something together soon. Thanks for watching .

[@janicelam4125]

Michelle the quilts turned out amazing thanks for sharing

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Thanks Janice! It was fun to work with mom and I'm always amazed at how fast a quilt top comes together when there are two of us working on it. Thanks for watching.

[@dianakranning9843]

Love both quilts. Thinking the Mathemagical Quilt would be perfect for some toddler material I have, but thinking I need more than a picture to figure it out. So would definitely be interested in more details. Thank you! I think it is so awesome that you and your mom are able to quilt together, how very special. Have a wonderful week!

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Thanks so much Diana! I really like sewing with my mom - it's amazing how quickly things go together when there are two of us working on them. I'll get the details of the mathemagical quilt together soon. Thanks for watching.

[@magdaherbert]

These quilts are beautiful! Yes, please show us how to make it. Thank you

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Thanks Magda! Hopefully in a few weeks. Thanks for watching.

[@ryansterner5101]

Love them !!! Please share more about Math- magical quilt. Also I really like the idea of changing the size to 2”. Great ideas!!!!

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Thanks Ryan! The chandelier pattern has lots of potential for slight adjustments and I really like the smaller black accents in the most recent project. Can you imagine making really large squares?? These were 5 inches, but imagine something like 8 inches. Hummmm.....? Thanks for watching.

[@KimMassey-m9z]

Great quilts and another great tutorial. I really like the way you break everything down when selecting your fabric choices. Would love a tutorial on designing your own mathemagical quilt.

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Thanks Kim! The Mathemagica quilts are fun. The blocks are easy, but it takes a minute to get the layout sorted and then the path to sewing it together. But it's totally do-able! Thanks for watching.

[@sableeldon5242]

Yes please on the details on how to do the math. I just got asked to make a memory quilt with different fabrics of different sizes. This would be a perfect way to honour all these precious pieces. 😊

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Hi Marta - that sounds like a perfect example for a pattern like this! I'll have a video and pattern ready in a few weeks. Stay tuned!

[@alexandrawellington8028]

Awesome quilts!!!!! I can definitely see Kaffe fabric in the mathemagical xxx

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Hi Alexandra! Kaffe fabrics would look amazing. With something besides white for the lines between....hummm.... Thanks for watching!

[@alexandrawellington8028]

@@bitspiecesquilting I agree, a saturated colour would be better than white for sure.

[@jessicareinschmidt4789]

I would love to see the math magical quilt! And us star wars nerds usually say it "five oh first". Definately "bad guys doing good". Love them!

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Thanks Jessica! You can tell I'm only tangential to the movement! Five oh first. Got it! 😜 Thanks for watching.

@@bitspiecesquilting no worries! it's an obsession at our house.

[@lauriebridges5466]

I love that you're sewing with your mom! I would love to have a tutorial on the Mathmagical Quilt! I typically sew with scraps and adapt many patterns to use scraps and this looks like one that I can do over and over and have each one be unique! Thanks so much and welcome home to Canada! - ❤from ON

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Thanks so much Laurie! I'll put a Mathemagical tutorial together soon. It would be great for scraps. The Star Wars fabrics all coordinate because they are on theme, but at it's heart, it's really just a scrappy quilt - except all the scraps are Star Wars prints. Thanks for watching.

[@BeckyMortonWeeks]

Awesome quilts!

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Thanks Vera! It was fun to work with mom on these and my brother was really happy with them.

[@elainelear4982]

2 great quilts.

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Thanks Elaine! They were fun to make and I like how they showcase the fabric. Thanks for watching.

[@nancysharon931]

Love all of them! The two inch squares in all one color makes a more dramatic impact. I would like a detail tutorial on the Bits and Boxes quilt. Thank you for great tutorials.

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Thanks so much Nancy! I'll make a Mathemagical tutorial soon. Thanks for watching.

[@bethforeman2376]

Hi Michelle. What a fun and happy family you have😊. As always love the quilts, would really enjoy and appreciate a tutorial on the “Mathemagical quilt - maths not being my strong point. Best wishes, Beth from Aus🇦🇺

Hi Beth! I'm very lucky to have such a great family! I'll put a video and pattern together for the Mathemagical quilt soon. Thanks for watching.

[@jessicamctavish7538]

I love to see how the ‘random’ patterns and colors can cohesively come together into a beautiful quilt that does not make my brain cringe when I look at it- it is extremely pleasant to look at! Please give us more details! They look great.

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Thanks so much Jessica! I think one of the secrets is to have a bit of a "theme". In this case, it is Star Wars. But it would also work if your theme was Christmas, or spring garden, or halloween, or french provincial (blues, yellows and whites). Limiting the "scrappy" to a theme helps with cohesion, in my view. Thanks for watching.

[@alexandra-zaza-burns]

You have some amazing Star Wars fabrics. Both quilts look great but the Mathemagical quilt is my favourite and would be good for lots of different fabrics. I’ve got some Japanese style fabrics that would be perfect for this pattern. I’d love a more in-depth tutorial for this quilt please. 🙏

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Hi Alexandra! Japanese fabrics would look amazing! Especially with black or navy lines to separate the pieces. So much potential! I'll have something ready in a few weeks. Thanks for watching.

[@shirleyleon7471]

They look great in that pattern. I would have never thought.😊

[@kod8104]

Lovely quilts, and yes please to a detailed tutorial on the ‘Mathemagical’ quilt. I’ve been trying to work out the block construction and placement ever since you posted the video about quilting the Blue Hawaii version. It’s an ideal pattern for using some larger prints which I don’t want to cut up too much.

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Thanks so much! And glad you like these. I'll put a tutorial together soon - it really is mathemagical. Once you get the numbers right, it is simple to make the blocks and then the layout possibilities are endless! Thanks for watching.

[@VioletWithey]

These look great. I'm working on 2 quilts for my grandchildren. I still need to pick a pattern for my grand son's. Either of these might work.

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Hi Violet! There is a free pattern for the chandelier-style quilt on my website (where the squares are 5x5 and the sashing and corners are 1.5) and I'm working on a video and pattern for the Mathemagical quilt. Stay tuned and thanks for watching!

[@alliegal45]

I love the chandelier quilt…have done one myself and it goes together so quick! ❤

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Hi Allie - This one was especially quick with two of us working together! I love the versatility of the pattern. Sometimes I make the centre blocks 4 inches, or 4.5 or 5 inches (in this case). Sometimes the smaller square are 1.5 (like my Walmart baby quilt) or 2 inches (in this case) or 2.5. Lots of possible combinations. Thanks for watching.

[@gingernykaza7852]

Can the math-magical quilt be done using 10 inch squares?

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Hi Ginger - yes! You can use 10 inch squares, but you will have some left over pieces (1.5 inch pieces and/or 2 inch pieces), so be sure to save those for another project.

[@gingernykaza7852]

@ can you make the 8 inch square a 10 inch and a 5 by 10 inch rectangle and a 5 inch square will that work? I have 2 Harry Potter layer cakes

[@bitspiecesquilting]

Hi Ginger - the math doesn't work that way. You have to consider the amount of fabric in the border pieces, plus (or minus) the seam allowances. Be sure to try this with scrap fabrics before you cut into your Harry Potter fabrics, but I think it will work. All of these are based on 1.5 inch border pieces. Large squares 10 x 10, rectangles 4.75 x 10 and small squares 4.75 x 4.75. Give it a try and let me know how it goes.
