Yes, I love patchwork pieced quilts but when you have a great print, it is just so hard to cut it. You can use those prints as backings, but this project lets you feature two pretty prints! Thanks for watching and happy creating!

Wonderful! You’ll be ready for pieces quilts sooner than you know. I have an east half square triable quilt tutorial you should check out. Happy Quilting!

Thank you. I love seeing because I LOVE fabric!

Yes! I have some of that Maria Antoinette fabric in the 3 color ways-I’ve been planning to cut in to it for years but just can’t! Happy Creating!

Panel blankets are fun.

Congratulations to your granddaughter! What a beautiful wedding gift this will be. I’m sure she will treasure it. Happy creating!

Thanks. Happy Creating!

Wonderful! I love these simple and fun projects, especially for gift giving. They are still so special but you can also get them completed in a reasonable amount of time during this busy season. And for beginners, it is just great practice and wonderful for sewing confidence building! Happy Sewing!

Hi June. I make these for my family a few Christmas ago so we all have movie night blankets! I’m in Minnesota-so Ivan relate. Happy Sewing and thank you so much for watching and commenting. 🧵

Hi! Yes, that’s what this project is for. It is also a great way to just practice the quilting technique and not have the added time commitment of patchwork piecing a top-which can also be a lot for someone new to sewing and quilting. Plus, when you have a really pretty fabric you sometimes don’t want to cut up the lovely print! Happy Creating and thanks for the encouragement!

Yes, the print is just so pretty. Too much piecing or quilting could take away from it. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching. I have several quilting videos coming but I also uploaded a couple projects where I show you the stitching. I didn’t have my quilting table set up well to record and quilt when I did this one. I hope you’ll try it though. Take care!

Hi. What a wonderful gift for your grandson! The Tula dots are darling. Happy Creating!

You are so welcome!

Thank you so much!

Yes, these quick and easy projects are great. And you can let the fabrics shine!

Yes, I think any little girl would love cuddling with this quilt!

Wonderful Vicky! Let us know how they turn out. Happy Creating!

They make wonderful gifts, especially when you have a spectacular fabric that you really don’t want to cut up.

What a beautiful baby shower gift this will be. Happy creating!

Yes, definitely faster and great when you just want to showcase a singular fabric!

You are so welcome!

You are welcome. Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much! I have lots more fun videos coming soon! I hope you’ll check back. Happy New Year!

You are kind-thank you so much for the encouraging words. I sometimes worry I’m too laid back for KZfaq. 🤣 don’t want viewers falling asleep. But sewing really relaxes me and so it shows in the videos I guess. I appreciate you watching. I bet the strip quilt turned out lovely!

Thanks so much!

Most welcome 😊

I hope it works well for you. These are fast and easy projects!

Thanks so much. It’s the sweetest fabric. I’m a bit partial to pink and elephants though!

Thanks.

Yes, sometimes you don’t have weeks to spare but you want to gift something handmade-this is perfect. And I really love showcasing the real large scale fabrics this way! Happy Creating.

Bravo to you in completing one. Keep it up! Happy Creating.

I pressed the fabrics lightly. Because I used cotton batting and cotton fabric, I know they will both shrink up some and get crinkly. You can of course iron your fabric as much as you like. If you don’t want your quilt to look crinkly after wash you should pre wash your fabric and use a polyester batting which will not shrink up much.

I can’t remember but you lose about an inch on all sides as you sew with 5/8th inch seams and then quilt it. So figure out the size you want and add an inch around for seaming. Hope that helps!

Hi. Yes, using flannel would be a great option. It really depends on the flannel and the fabric. The cotton batting I use shrinks 1-2 percent. So if your flannel doesn’t shrink much, I’d say you are fine not to wash. You could pre wash and dry the flannel and outside fabrics. Then you know it’s all preshrunk. Different fabrics will shrink differently depending on the manufacturer. The designer quilters cottons I used shrink very little. One thing you can do is a test swatch. Quilt a 6 inch sand which and wash it and dry it. Then re-measure and see if it looks too puckered for your taste. That way you don’t make a big quilt that your aren’t happy with. I hope this helps a bit! Hugs, Sheree

@@shereesalchemyshop Thanks for the suggestions. I realized that I have a large piece of flannel that I used to use for my design wall. That’s what I will use. It has been washed many times so it is ready to go!

Hi and welcome to the channel. So a yard of fabric is equivalent to 36 inches (3 feet). So 62 inches is just short of 1.75 or 1 and 3/4 yards (which is 63 inches). And yes, these fabrics are 44 inches wide. So I started with two fabric pieces that were 61 inches long and 44 inches wide. Hope that helps and makes sense!

I didn’t. But the things I did in this video help prevent that issue. Give it a try and hopefully it works for you.

Most quilt fabric is now 44 inches wide. But there is 108 inch wide quilt backing. And some flannels and cottons can be found that are 55 inches wide-they are usually marketed for apparel. You can use sheeting as a backing as well. I like to round my edges on some blankets but I don’t usually on quilts. Rounded corners are a sweet touch for baby blankets.

Was the issue when you did the quilting stitches? Or the edge stitching? It could be two things-your quilting/sewing machine doesn’t have differential feeding, so it’s not allowing all of your layers to go through together, resulting in bunching. It could also be an issue with your layers. When you make your sandwich, you have to make sure the batting and all layers are flat. Basting in place can help you or you can also spray paste (spray basting comes in a spray can and you can follow those directions). Practice makes better, so start with a smaller blanket maybe. A little lap quilt that’s like 24th he’s square is always a nice place to start. Hope this helps!

@@shereesalchemyshop thank you. I’ll give it another try

practices with small squares-using some scraps. Play around with your machine settings (tension, stitch length, etc.) to see if those adjustments help. It is so machine depending sometimes. Good luck!

Yes you can use pretty much any fabric for these double sided blanket quilts. Fleece can be a bit tricky to quilt. You could hand tie if you are new to quilting.

Thanks Vanessa! 🧵

Hi. Thanks! These fabrics are available in my Etsy store, which is linked on my about page. I can add links to the description box if that’s is helpful-let me know.
