How To Make A Puff Quilt The Easy Way ~Bubble Quilt ~ Puffer Quilt

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

I’ve made one puff quilt before and it was BRUTAL! This looks so much easier. A definite game changer!

[@TheSewingChannel]

I agree Jana about brutal lol - and nobody’s got time for brutal lol😂

[@lisawaterman2737]

I can't wait to make this for my grandson for Christmas. I'll be adding pellets to the stuffing to make it a weighted puffy blanket with the minky on the back. ❤❤❤

[@TheSewingChannel]

*_Great idea Lisa to add the weight pellets!!!✅ I hope others see your comment so they can try that too💛_*

[@martistgermain5951]

I made a weighted puff blanket for my friends nephew. He loves it!

[@gracielatirado4110]

In making the weighted puff, is the weight of the poly fill accounted for or only the weight of the pellets?

[@cynthiawiltshire6872]

I would like to thank The Sewing Channel because I just finished making my 1st Puff Quilt and I did it the easy way!!! Thank You!!!😊🎉❤

[@TheSewingChannel]

Woohoo🎉 Way to go Cynthia!!!!❤️

[@frognamedjog]

I've never made a quilt before, but I've been wanting to make a puff quilt for a while and this definitely looks like a method ill be able to use as a novice seamstress!

[@sabrinaharris6538]

This is genius!!! I tried to make a puff quilt the traditional way, it never got finished. I have always wanted to make a puff quilt, but after trying it, I gave up on the idea of ever making one. Now that I've seen your video, I know I can finally make a puff quilt. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You

[@TheSewingChannel]

Glad I could help!

[@gingermaryann9200]

Wow! I wish you had done this last week. I am half way finished with my grandson's puff quilt. At least I know how to make them easier when his brothers start asking for one. Thanks Linda!

[@TheSewingChannel]

*_Exactly! Now ya know💜 Thanks for watching🤓_*

[@annamariedaddarie472]

I made two mini puffy quilts following your excellent tips. My kitty loves them. I washed them, dried them with dryer balls, and they came out great. I’ve watched many puffy quilt tutorials. Yours is the best. Thank you so much.

[@TheSewingChannel]

*_Oh Anna...I bet your fur babies adore you!❤️That is a wonderful idea to make pet puffy beds✅_*

Lucky kitties

[@minaamin5970]

Excuse me , i didn't understand how did you washed them . Could you please explain again ?

[@annamariedaddarie472]

@@minaamin5970 I washed it with my regular laundry. I didn’t do anything special except using the dryer balls. So far both my kitty blankets have been washed numerous times. They are holding up great.

[@andersongail]

I have just followed your tutoitail for this puff quilt and made my first puff quilt. The tutorial made it very easy to do. I made mine 10 rows by 12 rows. So I would just Iike to say a huge thank you to you for sharing this fabulous tutorial. Xx❤

[@TheSewingChannel]

Awesome Great Job❣️

[@michaelenenelson3132]

You, friend, are a genius. I have been wanting to make a puff quilt for a while now, but the general method looked tedious. I made a baby one in an afternoon using your method. I then went a tad bigger, 13 x 10, and it took less than three days. I am now on a mission, an 18 x 15. Wish me luck and thank you so very much for sharing!

[@debilee9557]

Just wanted to say a big thank you. I was able to keep the mini puff quilt that my grandma had made many decades ago and now that I have a grandaughter I wanted to make one for her. With your excellent tutorial it is now on my "to-do" list.

[@TheSewingChannel]

*_Wonderful! Thanks for watching Debi💛_*

[@annablock8037]

Excellent tutorial. I love the fact you continue to try new things and then you share your ideas with the rest of us. You are truly a gem for the quilting world. Thank you so much.

[@TheSewingChannel]

*_Thank you so much for the kind words Anna...it really does mean a lot to me💛_*

[@lisafox3013]

I’m not going to do the whole quilt as puffy but the center 6 x 6 with large puffy sides…the lazy way. Thanks for showing this method. I’ve never seen it before

[@TheSewingChannel]

You’re welcome Lisa✅

[@crazycookiewv]

Thank you! This is perfect! I want to make one for my small furbie and this is exactly what I needed!

[@liadanducky]

It’s kind of similar to how my grandmother explained her mom and grandmother made quilts in Newfoundland in the early 1900s. They did rows instead of squares and filled them with roving wool instead of poly fill but I imagine it was pretty much like this 😊 very cool!

[@TheSewingChannel]

Yes that sounds very similar ✅ wool would be way warmer than polyfil😆

[@ligyaj6402]

Thank you I will!

[@sewforlife5728]

That looks so soft and comfy. I bet that would feel lovely to cuddle under on the couch on a winter day watching a movie. My granddaughter (who is 12), aunt is having a baby and she wants me to help her make some baby things. This quilt would be perfect. My granddaughters other grandmother just gave her her sewing machine and she's so excited to start sewing.😉👍

[@TheSewingChannel]

This would be a great baby quilt project for sure! 💛

[@AmandaIsAwesome]

I’m almost done making this as my first quilt as an Ombre!! I watched a bunch of puffy quilt tutorials but yours seemed easiest. Thanks for making this video!!

[@TheSewingChannel]

You can do it Amanda!!! Be sure to email a pic of it.... [e-mail]

[@gingerdunbar3428]

This method looks sooo easy!! Everything is done on the machine and that last row of stitching which closes the puffy quilt means the quilt is finished. Another item now added to my " to-sew" list!! Thanks, Tracy!!!! HUUUUUGGGGS🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@TheSewingChannel]

*_Yes Ginger!! This is an easy one for sure!!! and if you have any unfinished quilt tops layin' around like me then it will work perfectly✅Thank you for the kind feedback too!💛_*

Dang, this is ingenious. I have always wanted to make one of these. I’m glad I put it off. Thank you

[@jairovargas2328]

Omg, thank you so much for the tutorial. I’ve never in my life used a sewing machine but my hubby has been wanting to make a puffy quilt for the grandson and it was brutal to be honest. He wanted to do that old method you were explaining and oh my I was like sewing is not easy but seeing this video has made it so much fun! Your a life saver!

[@TheSewingChannel]

Glad it was helpful!💛

Very clever way to do a puff quilt!

[@annolsen8276]

This looks much easier than another video I just watched, and your seams look a lot more accurate, especially on the back.

How do these hold up? when you wash them, do they get flatter? I want to make one for my daughter for college next year, but don't want to be wasteful if it doesn't hold up.....

[@eileenenders696]

Several years ago I made a couple of puffy baby quilts from watching a you tube video. They came out great but each puff was sewn, stuffed, & then assembled. Your method is so much easier. Thank you for sharing

[@DianeSavage-s5d]

You are amazing! What a game changer this is, & what an excellent teacher you are. A puff quilt is something I have wanted to make for years now, but the regular method seemed so daunting that all I ever did was a couple of puffs. Now, with your wonderfully detailed expalantion & video, I am once again considering making a puff quilt. Thank you so very much for an incredible tutorial! 😊 🤗

[@TheSewingChannel]

Thank you so much for the kind feedback❤️

Love this. Going to make first one Kitty Size, then a baby size puffy for new GGrandson. Thanks, Tracy!❤

[@judywood4530]

I have never made a puffy quilt, but this method makes so much more sense than making individual squares, AND the results look more professional.

[@gabrieleseitz9169]

Wow, what a miracle!!! I just started a bubblequilt to make a cover for a pillow for my grandson's birthday. And I was not very pleased, because I have to make 81 bubbles! I finished 2 x 9 in rows together - to see what it looks like. 😊😉 I was thinking about getting it done easierly and quicker, as I have to make 3 pillows for my 3 grandsons - they all will have birthday in 1 month!!! So when I looked in the internet I found your video!!! Thank's for sharing it!!! It will take me less time this way than the other way!!! I'm thrilled!!! Many, many thank's!!! Ela from Moers, Germany 🤗💛

[@TheSewingChannel]

How awesome...I'm so happy you found my video...It really is much easier than the old way🎉

[@gabrieleseitz9169]

@@TheSewingChannel Now I found a way to be very quick with thw second cover: I bought covers for pillows. So I have a base to put the patch on it. The only difference is that I now make one seam down every row - otherwize I couldn't sew the long seam to close the rows after filling one row of bubbles. When it's finished, the cover will be able to be washed without the pillow. 😀 I nearly finished the second bubble-cover yesterday! My friend saw the bubble, pillows ,esterday and said, she would love to have one of those!!! 😆 Have a peaceful sunday, Ela 🤗🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

OMG I'm new to quilting,have made 2 small puff quilts but this method is a game changer.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Total gamechanger!💛

[@user-rm1ey6kt3s]

I like the fact that you didn't use a backing on the square and then put another backing with a quilting back. it's all really just 2 fabrics, the front and the back and no quilting really. I love watching and learning. Now I'm going to tackle my creation. Wish me luck.

[@michellef.6934]

I made one 50 years ago! At that time panty hose were used, it was so heavy it wasn’t used. Very hard to sew as it grew. With this new way, I may try one again😘

[@TheSewingChannel]

Mush easier this way for sure✅

[@cyn4rest]

Just rewatched this to refresh my memory banks. Love your method, Tracy. It’s genius! BTW, using 5” charm squares at 3 x 4, fits purrfectly in a standard Kitty Carrier. Now using 6” squares (at 8x8 - playpen size) for an I Spy Puffy Quilt for great-grand son! Thanks again for sharing your brilliant technique. ❤

Oh Thank You!! I have made two years ago and they were so hard!! With this method I will make some for my Great Granddaughters!!

I love this. Thinking some Christmas fabric would make cute puffy quilt pillows for the grands.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Awesome idea Donna!❤️

[@nancyrhoads9539]

Hi Tracey, I'm going to try your method. I've made a couple puff quilts, 4 probably. I just wanted to mention, I also did a test first. But I made it into a pillow for my grandson. He uses it every night on top of his regular pillow. Since he uses it every night, my daughter in law asked if I could make him another. So being his Mom mom I made about 5 of them😊 just thought I'd mention in case any of your little people would enjoy. I themed it to Mickey and other interests. Have a Great day

[@TheSewingChannel]

Wonderful!❣️

Wow you could do seat pads the same way for chairs. Thank you for sharing! It’s brilliant 🥰

[@satsumamoon]

My granny had one in a purple satin, all the same fabric so Id make one like hers. One of m y few memories from when I was teeny was walking over that amazing landscape, it seemed like a massive. alien planet. When I stood beside the bed it was as tall as I was but somehow I managed to get up there. Wont it be so much easier to make it all one colour! All id need to do is draw a grid instead of cutting and piecing.

Thank you for this excellent tutorial! Years ago, I made a puffy quilt for my daughter, mixing in fabric from sundresses she and I wore. She adored it, even bringing it with her when she went away to college. Now, it's falling apart and she asked if I could repair it. I cringed, remembering how "brutal" it was to put together the first time. Your method offers a much easier alternative, so now I'm encouraged to get it done. I know she'll be thrilled!

I have a suggestion if you want to use a stretchy minky. Iron on a light weight fabric stabilizer like Pelion sf 101. Be sure not to use a very hot iron because the minky may melt. I have some really cute minky in my stash so I will use this method. Thanks for reinventing the bubble quilt!
