I've done this for baby quilts up to a queen size. One other trick: Find two of your quilt tops that are the same size and use one as the front and one for the back. When you make a reversible, you have one less quilt top to finish!

[@ScrappyPatch]

That's a great idea!! Gonna have to give that a try!

[@TheBpena63]

Love your work simple and to the point. Enjoy your voice as well. Not a pro quilter but I am doing my best to have fun! Great job

[@katehenry2718]

SUPER!!! I've made 200+ over 66 years of quilting and never did this! You just saved me a LOT of time and my next one will definitely have this assembly. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! ))))) Just subscribed )))

I love to quilt. Look up on utube a quilt called a quillow. I’ve made so many when my kids were growing up. It’s quick and so easy and you’ll love it. It folds and makes a pocket on the back to tuck the blanket in and them makes a pillow for the couch. When you cover up with it you use the pocket to tuck your feet in...oh so cozy.

[@ScrappyPatch]

I've never heard of a quillow. Might have to be an up coming video! Thanks for the idea Carole

[@ksharpe8137]

I know this video is older but it’s exactly what I was looking for. Enjoy your humor as well. 😂

[@debbienewby3997]

I just love watching your videos. you always make me smile, but today you've made me giggle.

[@ScrappyPatch]

I'm glad I can brighten your day a little bit

[@LionsLamb79]

Shout out to another dude who can sew!

[@ScrappyPatch]

Shout out to you to man!!

[@edm6401]

Those came out awesome Scrappy ! I used that technique before. I hate binding, I could never get it to look nice and when I do, i did not like the way it looked on the back. I have been making quilts for 20 years, I like making the top but I just got to the point where i hate quilting them. I had 2 that were unfinished and I sold them both on ebay for a good amount of money, Thanks for another great video. You said you been doing this for 6 years, I have been doing it over 20 years and I am learning from you ! Keep up the awesome videos.

[@ScrappyPatch]

Thanks Ed I will!! Love positive comments like these!

[@pattysherwood7091]

This is exactly what I needed to see. Thank you ! A few years ago I made a quilt like this but my memory is so bad I needed reassurance. (I used so much batting it was like a sleeping bag, too hot! ) But I’m going to use this method again on three quilt tops I made this Winter . And thanks to your video, I feel more confident.

[@ScrappyPatch]

Glad it was helpful🥰

[@6325103]

Thanks for the easy to follow video. I'm definitely going to get rid of some of my UFO's during the lockdown.

[@ScrappyPatch]

Good luck!

[@lauraruthruff4741]

I love watching your videos... You make everything look so easy. Your quilts came out beautifully!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@cynthiamaertz5325]

You make it so easy....I've done baby quilts, but am now trying the jelly roll.....loved the way you show how easy it is

[@patriciabell779]

Thanks so much for your great idea, Im a knitter but needed to do two quilts for graqndchildren and I was really dreading it until I saw your video!!!

[@ScrappyPatch]

Glad it was helpful!

[@needleworknut7792]

Good Job Matt. My kind of binding.

[@ADHDAquatics]

I love this quilt! I love your eye for design too ❤️

[@ScrappyPatch]

Thank you so much!

[@bubbysbub]

That's a beautiful quilt! I'm loving your videos. I found your channel through your gardening apron video (which was SO helpful!), and I love all the bits you do. Thanks so much for all your work!!

[@ScrappyPatch]

That's awesome! Welcome friend!!

[@cowboyblairehobbsarts5398]

Thank you, I looking forward to see more

[@PennyinVA]

Great demo!!

[@lisalightfoot1344]

Ooh very nice love them all though the green HST is my fav. Gave me an idea to maybe spruce it up further with piping on smaller things. Thankx.❤️

[@teresaretman2198]

love the quilts you made........my sister in law would love to have this one cause she likes the blue and yellow together. just love to get ideas from you Matt

[@WhippetOut]

Wow. This is amazing work. Subscribed!

[@ScrappyPatch]

Thanks and thank you for watching!

[@janstetler9888]

This looks like the quilt top I just finished, but mine is white, black and red! I have been stressing about how to finish. This is only the second quilt I made. I think this is exactly what I want to do. I wanted something light weight for summer. It’s a birthday present for my son in a few weeks. Thanks so much!

[@ScrappyPatch]

He’s gonna it!!

[@lucykitt4844]

thank you for showing how to finish a regular size quilt instead of a mini quilt!

[@jonathanjars]

Good job buddy

[@susanramsay4189]

When tying go "right over left" then left over right" Then right over left again. Square knot(s)

[@racheleakin6259]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video! My roommate and I have been discussing this technique. She recently did a quilt about the size you are doing and did the tie off method you use. The quilt is Bunchie around the edges. We speculate its because she started from the middle and work her way out. I notice you are starting on the edge. And yours does not seem to have that problem! What directions do you go when tying off your quilt? Diagonal? Left to right? Randomized? I hope that makes sense! :-) thank you for your time, great Channel! Hope you have a wonderful day!

[@becunningham8850]

Glad to see you can use flannel for batting. Did you wash the flannel first?

[@markwells2710]

Look at you. So glad you found a purpose for those. Lol your welcome. Smooch

[@ScrappyPatch]

XOXOXO right back at you!

[@markwells2710]

Don't tease the old people. Bahahhah

[@stitchitch7010]

Love the colors! Isn't Tuesday Mornings great?

[@jerrymcgowan8102]

Do you prewash flannel? BTW I’m relieved I’m not the only one with a pile of quilt tops waiting to be finished.

[@Aquahoma]

thank you thank you thank you you made this so easy I'm not afraid to try this now.

[@aprilstanaland3924]

Hi! New to your channel and have watched several today. Was looking for a Halloween table runner or topper. Got some really great ideas and your instructions and step by steps are so helpful. Love the sheet backing idea in this video. I have one I'm fixing to retire and this would be a great use for it. On this quilt, do you think it would work to stitch-in-the ditch along several of the jelly roll strips instead of the tying method? If so, would you do that before or after the final topstitching? Love the IKEA idea one of the others mentioned. Now off to find your garden apron mentioned by another subscriber. Thanks!

[@ScrappyPatch]

Either would work just fine. Personally I would do the stitching after the top stitching that way you could use the border stitching to travel stitch to the next row.

[@chauneceyomally]

Hi, tku for video. How did u square up the quilt top without putting an edge around it?

[@jeanb1199]

Love your channel! Made so many blessing bags after watching your video. At the very beginning of this video I believe you have a crumb quilt behind you. Can you give us more info about the construction of that quilt. I have been making 10 inch crumb blocks and am looking forward to using them in something as nice looking as your quilt.

[@ScrappyPatch]

It's actually a scrappy strip quilt I'm SLOWLY working on. It's all the leftover strips in my stash, mostly 2 1/2 inch strips left over from binding. I do have a video planned on this quilt in the future, just having trouble finding time to finish it! Thanks for watching Jean!!

[@barbaracawley5982]

Looks good 12:57

[@hevchip741]

What batting did you use? I LOVE THE BLUES AND YELLOWS.

[@slb2904]

Will cotton batting get caught up on pressure foot? Actually I use walking foot.

[@ScrappyPatch]

I usually don't have a problem with cotton batting getting caught, just the fluffy polyester.

[@slb2904]

@@ScrappyPatch thank you and no it did not. I'm amateur at this but used your video to make Frozen quilt for 4 year old. Not too bad but rough around the corners. I'm determined to get better. Thank you

[@koriewilson3643]

Great video. Love the quilts, is the third one a disappearing nine patch?

[@ScrappyPatch]

Yes it is Korie. I meant to say it in the video but forgot.

[@lutishahill1393]

I know this video is older but can you share how you made the quilt top?

[@dennismirac6603]

When you say crochet thread, do you mean like what you would use to make a doily, or regular worsted weight yarn?

[@ScrappyPatch]

I used the stuff for doilies, but you could use yarn if that's what you had. I've used that before. :-)

[@r45853]

Thanks for this idea... Can you use this technique to bind together but then quilt it rather than tie off? And if yes, any precautions I should take when attacking the quilting stage?

[@ScrappyPatch]

I wouldn't only because you would have a chance of the fabric puckering and moving around if everything wasn't completely flat.

[@bornlatinqueen0104]

How do you not see the black knots on the back?

[@amc5936]

you should have ironed the sheet first to insure that they are flat as possile. a big pain in the a!@ but worth it in the end

[@CynPope1]

Can I ask how you got the large border around the strips?

[@ScrappyPatch]

They are 6 inch strips, cut the width on the bolt. I do the top and bottom first. Then I usually have to join 2 strips together for the sides pieces.

[@sherryl3306]

What is the thread count for the sheet that you used? Thank you.

[@ScrappyPatch]

I believe 900. They were really thick, almost like canvas, but you can use any thread count really

[@gloriafluke2692]

Do you have a web site

[@ScrappyPatch]

As far as selling things?? not yet. But I'm hoping by winter I will be selling things on Etsy and Ebay.

[@cynthiamoya5760]

I love the technique but couldn’t see what the back looks like.

[@ScrappyPatch]

Not really much to the back. I was just trying to show that it had little flecks of black from where I tied it together, but of course the camera didn't pick it up! Thanks for watching Cynthia

[@janetaylor4946]

I call this a “pillow case turn.” Although I did not see in your video where you turned the quilt inside out! I do this method a lot with baby quilts. Babies wear out quilts fast; so why bother binding them!
