Please, please don't ever change the "sliding quilt system" it is a PERFECT antedote for the overly technical society we live in. Also reminds me of something my dad would do. Thanks for the video. Enjoying your channel quite a bit.

“Because I’m extra.” This quote will make me smile all day. So completely relatable! Thank you for being extra too and sharing!

Amy, your moving quilt display system makes me laugh every time. It must be fun to live at your house!

Your son upstaged you in this video! He has some serious guns to hold up his arms for as long as he did! What a trouper! 😂

Adorable “fancy sliding quilt system” I always have a chuckle (or more) during your fun videos

Your quilt holder is the best!!

The best display system 👌 I've ever seen and I love the patterns. 🎉 go to the help.thank you.

First time I have seen your site I’ll be back

Great ideas! Love the “sliding system “

You should patent the Toby sliding quilt system. :) For quick patterns, I have a few: I love the Film at Five quilt. It is a free scrap quilt pattern on the wedding dress blue blog with fantastic instructions including excellent pressing instructions. It unifies pretty much any combination of colors. You use scrap 2.5” squares or you can strip piece units and subcut into sets of 5 2.5” squares. You add a background fabric like white or black or whatever will set off the colors of your blocks. It makes a beautiful quilt. It does have some pieced sashing so not quite as zippy as some, but if you have just a little more time, it makes a really high impact quilt and is a great scrap buster. Another thing I like to do is surround a gorgeous panel with a wide border of 2.5” squares. Again you can strip piece and subcut to get strips of squares and mix the units up to make it look more random. Pat Sloan’s March 2023 block a day pattern was also a really fast sew. I cut and pieced 48 blocks in a single day last weekend. If I needed to rush I could complete the quilt this weekend. Adding 1 inch and 3.5 inch (finished) borders makes it a really nice sized throw at around 57 x 73. Lastly, I love the It’s Sew Emma birthday cake quilt in the Perfect 10 book. It looks complicated but is very easy to piece. The book is available from Fat Quarter Shop in print or digital pdf form and is full of pretty, quick quilts. I don’t always cut and piece their way, but the blocks are easy to convert to whatever method you want to use (although fabric requirements might vary). I use my own stash rather than layer cakes. Because layer cake quilts are inherently scrappy, it is easy to add fabrics and add blocks to make the quilts larger, so for $14, I definitely recommend adding this book to your quilting library. Save money -just get the book and skip the set with the creative grids perfect 10 ruler- the smallest marking increment is 1/2”. That may be fine for the quilts in this book but why not make the ruler more usable for other projects? Ugh.

I love your easy, very pleasant, informative presentation style. Thanks so much for sharing your creativity with me. 🎶💖💐

My go-to is a disappearing 9-patch. I’ve done it so many times, I hardly have to think about it.

Three Yard Quilts are my go-to quilts.

Love all these fast and easy quilts. Your son did a great job showcasing all these beautiful quilts!

Great quilts which just goes to show that the pattern doesn't need to be complicated! Thanks for sharing.

If I need a quilt in a hurry, I’ll often pick one of the 3 yard quilt patterns. I’ll also do a disappearing 9 patch.

Loved the content in this video. I cracked up when you said "Bitcoin" was a favorite go to. I've been working on one for two years! It is in my ufo challenge pile and just have a little bit to finish. I think I will get it done this year! I just love that you;re 'extra', puts a smile in my day everytime I watch and can't wait for the next one.

checkerboard. I like that the simplicity of the shape/piecing allows the fabric choices to shine & allows for variety - I haven't done monochromatic like the two that you showed, I just stick with light & dark. I make a lot of spiderwebs too, very satisfying, but they aren't quick.

Your assistant is the best! Lol

Great suggestions! A lot of wisdom in your observations about these quilt patterns - thanks! I am not usually racing on a quilt, but I am always working down my stash and scraps, especially after absorbing my mom’s extensive stash. And I have very few pre-cuts. Typically, I am making my own ‘pre-cuts’ 2” strips, 2 and 2.5 squares, etc. The patterns you suggested are really perfect for my situation. Favorites: light/dark crossing Irish Chain blocks, rail fence, half square triangles, nine patch, Buckeye block, scrappy Churn Dash, flying geese. If I have a bunch of the same scraps. I’ll make a bunch of that same block. Easy to stretch out the number of identical blocks or unify scrappy blocks combining with enough of a background fabric to suit the project size from a table runner to a large quilt. For leftover stitch and flip or other tiny triangles, I will sew them into half square triangles and then into mixed or matched pinwheel blocks that can be sized up using a blender into larger sized blocks. Love your channel!❤

Hi Amy. There are cookie tins on my shelves filled with string blocks, which I sew together in a hurry if I need to. The colours give me joy and keep me challenged on how to mix & match. As always, your video was fantastic and made me smile. A snowy hug from Canada.

My go-to is the disappearing 9-patch. It’s so versatile.

Wow, that Starry Night quilt is gorgeous! Thanks Toby, you are an amazing quilt wrangler. Take care, be well

Thanks for this video. Most of us don’t think about about the ‘what ifs’. A very good idea to have predetermined a few patterns that are simple to make and fast, when you need simple and fast!!

As a scrap quilter who does mostly donation quilts, these are phenomenal!! I’m adding them to my collection of patterns… Kudos to Toby- good help is hard to find 😊. Happy to have found you and your videos.

Railfence is my go-to quick quilt pattern for a quilt "in a hurry." Love this video! Thank you Amy

Great video and love the moving quilt system, great job Toby. My go to is turning twenty or yellow brick road. very similar but different size blocks.

I’m a beginner. I like using a panel for the center and then doing a keyboard border with coordinating colors. I can see where I started and how I improved but others (non-quilters) don’t notice. I have several projects to do and am looking forward to clearing them out by the end of 2024.

I love all of these. And don’t ever change your display system. It’s so great! I make a lot random of 5” square baby quilts.

St Louis 16 patch is my all time favorite quick, easy and beginner favorite quilt no matter the age of the recipient. Enjoyed seeing all of these ideas and saved a few to my OneNote program for reference. Thanks bunches.

My favorite go-to pattern is the disappearing 9-patch. I have made them using 5" squares and 10' squares. I saw Jenny doan make one recently where all her centers were white and I thought that looked better than my just randomly placing the 9 squares together. I, too, like Villa Rosa postcards! And I have recently been enamored with FabricCafe quilts.

I've just started quilting and the pattern I've done is a four patch alternating with a solid square. I make scrapy 6.5" four patches and alternate with a 6.5" white-on-white. My coworker suggested for beginners is to try a brick pattern of rectangles so it's not too much pressure to get things lined up perfectly.

Terrific eye for picking fabrics! Just beautiful. The checkerboard is my winner in all this!!

All of your quick quilts were fantastic---love your sense of color. Thanks for sharing how you make them yours! The sister in law quilt was a standout. Love a surprise in a quilt!

Quilts are delightful! Bold and confident color/print combinations. Love the light blue HST one.

Beautiful quilts!!! Love easy not so easy patterns! I try to use my stash and scraps but they multiply in the dark! My go to pattern gas always been the rail fence pattern. It was the first quilt I ever made and I still love it!

Beautiful quilts. I also love LG scale prints. Fabrics today are so bright, Beautiful, and so well made. I'm a new quilter but my go to is the race quilts only because they are quick and fun to make.

Love your moving quilt system. You crack me up, and some days, that’s important! Plus you have given me so many ideas for storing and using my scraps! Thank you! Thank you!

I love to use fabric cafe 3 yard quilt pattern books for all my charity and quick quilts. I Normally can get one done under 5 hours. That includes long arming it. I find myself at times scraping up their patterns to make it work for me.

I’ve made four, I think if not more, of the jelly roll race quilts. On one I appliquéd black cats climbing to chase butterflies. On one inserted a Disney Princess strip which just pops in occasionally. The other two are Christmas quilts which I forgot to display this year. I’ll write that off to being sick the two weeks before Christmas. I love making the jelly roll race quilt for a quick project.

I have used the Crazy Eights by Bits ‘N Pieces. I’ve made a baby boy had girl quilt simultaneously. My daughter loved her sons so much that she asked for one for her (bigger of course). Thank you for this video, as it gave me more go-tos for a quick quilt.

I love all these quick ideas. Thanks for sharing!

I am finally able to confidently piece easy squares and 1/2 square triangles but determining how to quilt my masterpiece is overwhelming!

Thank you for all these quick quilt ideas Amy! Love all of them. ❤ I am a one and done quilter usually but when I need a quick one I use my Fabric Cafe 3 yard quilt books. 🎉

Love all of your quilts and your mobile quilt showcase system!

That polka dot strip quilt is one of my favorites when I visit!!! Ohhh… I may have to do that two color for my Colors of 2023 quilt!!!

It is a blessing when your children help you. 😊 love this video. I have sooooooo much fabric

These are great. I make most of my quilts for charity so quick and easy and scrappy are my favorite kinds! One of my favorites is the free Moda Love Charm Quit pattern. It’s a star made of all squares and HSTs. I made a king-sized one using a layer cake… It’s 64 blocks (about half HSTs and half squares) and took me maybe 2 hours to piece. It was so simple to sew for HUGE impact. And you could make it any size by just changing the size of your starting square. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for all the wonderful quick quilt ideas! I need to make a few of those. Your quilts are beautiful!! ❤

The Nine Patch. There are so many ways to lay it out.

Amy, another great free pattern: Sundance (a giant squash blossom). Free from Polka Dot Chair. Super fast and easy. I’m working on one right now.

You’ve really inspired me! Thank you!

I'm not a fan of making many patterns more than once but I've made this one a couple times now. It's a 3-yard quilt "Sew Quick" I love how fast it comes together and is only 3 yards for the top.

Love all your fast and easy quilts. You have a charming assistant too ♥️💜🧡

I need to see a good pic of those lyrics because THAT IS AWESOME! Must do that. This just shows that the pattern doesn't have to be crazy difficult for you to get fantastic results. You're my favorite super hero.

Thanks for bringing all these together Amy! I’m special too😜😂🧡🧵

Thank you, I need the fat quarter pattern for all the Christmas and Halloween fat quarters I ended up with.

Thanks for sharing all these EXTRA beautiful quilts!

Just Get it Done Quilts has a series of scrap buster quilt patterns that I have been working my way thru .. I do the free patterns on her web page for donation quilts

I make string pieced blocks on an 8 1/2” muslin foundation and keep them on hand when I need a quickie quilt. My goal is to get all my strings used by the end of the year. I don’t think is is going to happen. 🤪

Oh gosh I love that story!

Rag quilts! Fast, eady scrap busters for sure.

I’m “extra”too. I loved this video. You are a delight. Everything in the scene is intriguing as well as your cool assistant.😆 I’m definitely becoming a subscriber. I’m new to quilting and I love it. Thank you.

Hi there. I love your quilts. They’re beautiful. I like the rail fence pattern for a quick quilt. Your slide show presenter was great. 😊

I have to add the disappearing 9 patch... especially for fast Baby quilt. using 6 or 6.5' ruler depending on what I have

I do a strip quilt.as you go. Can either be done on domestic or longarm. Throw or lap works best on domestic. Larger on longarm. Prep your back and batting. I have used just width of fabric for lap quilts. Or stitched all of mynrandom scrappy 2.5 inch strips end to end. Start by laying strip face up over end of.batting and back and stitch doen. Allow extra back at top for a self binding if you choose or start right at the top with your first quarter inch seam. On your longarm, just use your horizontal channel lock. Then place your next strip face down on the first and stitch 1/4 inch along the lower edge of the first strip. Finger press down and repeat process until you reach the end of your backing. I have done this using up scrap strips of.batting on my longarm, too. Makes a quick durable quilt that just needs binding to gift.

Yellow Brick Road for any size quilt is super fast.

Your son is a great quilt displayer today! Loved your quick finish quilts… rail fence is my new go to quilt pattern! Sew many variations… but 4 patches are fun too… as are the hst’s… Have you ever made a jelly roll race with triangles a solid color at the joins??? I love a fun jrr… I’d like to just see how that works ;)

Give that kid a raise🎉 great job!

I love seeing your work!

Thank you for All these suggestions, I need a quilt in a hurry, thank you again for All the options to choose from

👏👏👏 great Toby. That half square triangle quilt is beautiful. All of them are❤❤❤

Deconstructed 9 patch recut and spun into a four patch is super easy and it looks more complex. I also favor half log cabins.

Thank you Toby!

Thanks for the great ideas. A quick quilt pattern I recommend is trip around the world. You can mostly strip piece the 4 quadrants, and use a little unpicking to make it super fast.

Column quilts or half square triangles, they are quick, easy and everyone loves them. Cute quilt slider, the slider seemed to work great. Lol.

Thank you for sharing. Enjoyed this video. I look forward to more of your projects.

Oh! and thanks to your assistant!

What an awesome quilt show! Thank you for starting my morning off perfectly. I just added a few more to my list. My go to is Yellow Brick Road. I sat down one day and made a chart for all the cut pieces so I can go super scrappy if I want. Happy Quilting!!

Thank you for all your ideas and your helper was awesome, loved the quilts. My favorite go to pattern is Yellow Brick Road, not a super quick pattern but pieces on the larger side so it is fun to make. Have a good day.

Love love love 😂

Great group of fast, easy and beginner friendly quilts. And thank you for the quilt holder Toby. It is nice that you supplied the links and showed actual quilts you have made. I use a couple easy patterns like strip quilts or easy Villa Rosa patterns. I do have a book of 3 one yard fabric quilt patterns.

Found you while clicking around KZfaq tonight and you have SO inspired me! Love them all and am planning on gathering my scraps to start some fun quilts! Thank you and Happy Holidays!

Great inspiration 😃 Your quilts are gorgeous 🤩 and it’s great to know that once we have chosen a design then we can make it our own 🤔 Strips and squares don’t have to be two and a half inches wide, rainbows don’t have to include pink 🤔🤣 Love the ‘slide show’ 👍 Thank you so much for sharing 👏👏🇬🇧

The Star Bright quilt from Swim Bike Quilt is awesome! It’s a very modern quilt with big blocks, so quick to make. Last time I looked it was free if you subscribe to their newsletter.

Thanks so much for this! I am all about quick and easy!Beautiful quilts.My go to is the string quilt .Iam a new quilter and it was the first quilt I made so have repeated it several times.

LOVE all the quilts.... the checkerboards are great! My go to in a pinch is always the 3 yard quilts from Fabric cafe. I have lots of my fabric stored as 3 yard bundles and their patterns are quick, and easy to follow. I've knocked one out in a few hours in a pinch.

I usually use 3 yard quilts from fabric cafe. But other go to patterens are a disappearing nine patch and tumbling charms from Missouri star. I made a crazy eights quilt once too. Thanks for sharing your ideas! Love the quilts

my favorite is the disappearing nine patch no seams to match

Thanks for sharing

Dear Amy, Fun watching your program. I'm intrigued regarding the diamond string pieced quilt behind you. Plus thank you for your great ideas on fast and easy quilts. I rest my head and take a nap on all the scraps I need to use. Marion in Oregon

Great and V . Informative and Inspiring video. Thanks

Live your helper in the background!!

Any 3 yard quilt is my quick go to pattern ❤

My go to is the 10” diagonal strip block on foundation. I make these blocks in any bit of time I have with all mix of strip widths and colors and prints. I have stacks of these blocks. Then I choose blocks that seem appropriate for the person. Connect those 10” blocks, and I like your minky back suggestion.

Thoae are great ideas! My go to is a plus quilt- with either 3 1/2 or 5” squares

I am quilting 2 baby quilts for a client right now but I like to make log cabin quilts...if you use wide strips you can make fewer blocks and have a nice quilt size. I also like the strip piecing and 4 and nine patch. Thank you for sharing your quilts. They were all very pretty.

Your video put a smile on my face and I really needed it! Thank you so very much! ❤

My go to turn n twist, or large flying geese

Great helper.
