Preparing A No Batting Quilt

How I like to prep my quilts with no batting. Sorry the bottom is cut off, I will shot another video as soon as I have a new quilt to do and hope it works out better when uploaded. For more on no batting quilts, I have another video up in that.

In my grandmother's pre-air conditioning time she called these summer quilts. Your quilts are very pretty.

No batting quilt sounds good! I’ve thought about doing this as the quilted top of a duvet cover. This now makes me more sure about it. 🙌🏻Thanks!

[@trinam2503]

I LOVE no batting quilts!! I have made several for myself and family friends. They have all loved them as well 😃

[@debraclogston9379]

Wow! A Quilting Rebel! Pleased to have you in my queue! My next " quilt", a scrap top, a heavy flannel sheet as batting, and a fleece blanket starring as the bottom.

[@ireneschuyler1867]

Beautiful quilt

[@cindysmyth9276]

Love your attitude. Thank you for permission to do what I would like to do. Keep it up. ❤

[@yx6889]

What a gorgeous quilt! I love Lori's patterns, but they do look really time intensive!

[@sewfundy]

They defintly can be. I do simplify my versions

[@neelie6238]

My husband is always critizicing my quilt projects. I don't find any enjoyment since my last critique. Hope your videos motivate me again.

[@sewfundy]

Don't let him get to you, if you love doing it, that's what matters most :)

[@kelliryan464]

I love, respect and applaud your style and philosophy. No need to apologize to critics. Beg for forgiveness and offer explanations only when the quilt police come to arrest you.

[@maryannedaugherty8722]

I have a king size quilt top and backing I made about 10yrs ago. Way too big for me to quilt on my machine. Too stressful to even think about handquilting. After watching this I think I can make it into a duvet cover. I actually love it and just want it on my bed one way or another! Thanks for the inspiration to finally get it done! ❤

[@sewfundy]

That is a great idea! I hope it all works out for you!!

[@stepoff1277]

Would have been nice to have seen it finished. I need a couple of summer quilts. You just inspired me to add to my to-do list. 😊

[@sewfundy]

I will do a reveal once its finished, its in my "finish binding pile" now lol. Have fun sewing!

[@Jazzgirlaust]

What a beautiful quilt, lovely pattern, lovely colours & great idea to be a no batting quilt.

[@jamiep7602]

Awe🥹thank you for taking the pressure off! I make many mistakes and would prefer to enjoy rather than feel bad😊😅

[@sewfundy]

@@jamiep7602 love what you make!

[@santagreen7360]

It’s beautiful, I love this concept

[@jenihansen7201]

thank you so much. I always wondered if I could make a quilt with no batting.

[@awright5978]

Thanks for your video/tips. I’m in Texas and have wanted this method.

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

I just almost finished such a quilt. Had asked people about it some said go ahead and some said you have to have batting. I have the pieced to, a nearly new sheet and a fleece back. I actually love it!

[@CreativeTrish]

I’m SO happy you came into my feed ❣️ I’m NOT a quilter 🤦🏻‍♀️…my son in law asked me to make him a T-shirt quilt about 5 years ago. I AM a craft hoarder 🤣 I had fusible interfacing & a bag of polyester batting. Got my QAYG degree from KZbin & made 2 quilts. His Mom saw them & asked if I would make her 1 with the shirts she had been saving from her Mom for 15 years.🙏 Would I also make 1 for her sister & by the way…she also saved her dad’s shirts🤦🏻‍♀️. I just finished the last one ❣️ (short video of it on my channel) Those quilts are HEAVY but they live in the North East so they LOVE them. I’m in FL. My brother in law asked me to make him one. He has ALS & I have to make it lighter 🤔….so from the bottom of my heart…Thank you🙏🥰🙏

[@valerieslater-t1v]

I really LOVE the work you did on your quilt, it looks absolutely beautiful, just my style. I also love how you stick up for yourself regarding the quilt police. Iam also a bit of a rebel with my quilting, no one is going to tell me what I like in my quilts. Years ago I was told that for a pale pink, blue and cream design I also needed to put a "zinger" in it. I dont know if you know that terminology, its like a cat among the pidgeons. Anyway, I said no to that, and the teacher didnt like me after that. I continued with my quilt and it turned out perfect for my blue bedroom, I still use it and love it immensely, so thank you for sharing !!!

[@sewfundy]

That zinger bit is just awful!!! I have had that suggested to me on some quilts too.. how to kill a nice quilt! Lol

[@reaanneservia3866]

It’s beautiful

[@The4amQuilter-eo1dk]

I agree…💐💐🌺

[@jilbertb]

Pretty quilt! Since i live in a state that borders Canada ❄, I put a layer of flannel as batting on my no batting quilts. 😂 Flannel is washed and dried on hot, 3x first.

[@kathyberry6803]

New subscriber here. Just found you. Love your style and you dont preach perfection.

[@marinaabad4995]

If one does really want to clean off the quilt back and front, vacuum it first with a small, clean hand held vacuum cleaner and then use a lint roller, until it's clean. That make sure it's free of threads and stuff. Another way is to put the top and then the back into a dryer on the air cycle only, no heat, that will remove a lot of extraneous stuff on the quilt, then use a lint roller.

[@loraineleuschke4186]

Sounds good to me. Could you show it when you finish the hand work? Thank you for a great original idea!👍

[@sewfundy]

Will do 😊.

[@miriamnahom3963]

I’d love to see it when it’s finished. ❤

[@sewfundy]

I will do a reveal once I get it done 😊

[@LisaLisa-zl9vu]

It's a beauty!!

[@sewfundy]

Thank You 😊

[@The4amQuilter-eo1dk]

Luv your advice about it’s your quilt… I give the same advice on my videos… beautiful quilt… just gorgeous… Angela👍😀😊🌺💐

[@sewfundy]

Thank you! It’s something many need to hear. A pattern is a basis, to recreate it exact would leave it without personally. It’s great to hear it from others 😊. It’s like advocating for creativity lol

[@annettegraff8323]

​It's like a recipe! I always tweak those ! I don't always care for the colors or prints suggestions either So I do it my way🎉

[@The4amQuilter-eo1dk]

Very true… a pattern is our guide but the journey is all ours….🌺💐🌸

[@sharonlalli1414]

Fascinated with this iðea.

Thank you 😊

[@rosemoore5364]

Hi. Just found and subscribed to your channel. You are close to 1,000 subscribers. Hope you get there soon. The quilt is so cute for summer. Thank you for the video. Have a nice day everyone.

[@elliev3593]

This is great! My question is do the seams on the back of the top part show through on the bottom fabric on some way?

[@sewfundy]

Very good question and yes they can. I do use a lot of off white so my backs tend to be off white and you can see to a degree. but as you dont show that side, its not really noticed in general. If the top contains no white, you can use any back you want.

[@elliev3593]

Thank you. I have so many unfinished holiday quilts that I was bed covers, not blankets. So this helps to solve that. I am not good at working with batting lol

[@melissarey2973]

I always wondered how a layer of pre-shrunk flannel would do in place of batting. I thought I would want a layer so the backing wouldn't show through. But I'll definitely do a no batting quilt before I bother about the flannel.

[@sewfundy]

There is always the possibility of the backing showing up if you used a lot of white or lights on the top, I usually use lots of whites so I back in the same white :)

[@windycityliz7711]

Flannel is heavy when wet and takes a lonnnng time to dry (depending on content perhaps?).

[@nevafitzgerald2402]

I have used flannel instead of native g for baby quilts the guilt is actually more flexible than the stuff quilt with batting. I also tried for a regular size and the person loved it,she said it was very cozy.❤

[@lynnmcdermott1291]

I LOVE using flannel in place of batting. It is flows so much more and lightweight and easily wraps right around the body. It is my favorite way to quilt.

[@windycityliz7711]

@@lynnmcdermott1291 Maybe I should try it again; just didn't go well the first time but that was when I was a beginner.

[@sheilahope7007]

I love it!❤

[@marylougibbany1431]

I like to use the No Batting method when making placemats and table runners. Hate to have my glass fall over on a fluffy place matt.

[@sewfundy]

Same 😊.

I have always made my quilts without batting

Have you tried diy spray basting? Chatterbox quilts has a video on it.

[@sewfundy]

I have a lot of chemical allergies so I dont use it, I just cant but I know some that do use it on these quilts and it works well.

[@peggersf9709]

👋👍🏻👍🏻🥰

[@ingridw3099]

Camera is too high. Difficult to see what you are referencing

[@sewfundy]

It was good until it uploaded and cut off the bottom. When I have another ready to quilt I will reshoot and hope it gets the full shot.

[@amc5936]

i get confused because supposedly a quilt is not a true quilt without batting?

[@jilbertb]

Ah, you've been talking to the quilt police.... A quilt is however you make!

[@carolrednana]

I e made a lot like that. Quilts are too heavy for summer time

[@lindadalton2668]

Can’t really see what you’re doing frame is all on you not much of the project

[@pennytrupiano2689]

Quilt was out of view for much of this

[@sewfundy]

Yes, when uploaded the bottom was cut off. I will do another video when I get a quilt ready.
