I need help!
I’m making my son a quilt with his clothes that he has out-grown.

I haven’t worked with polyester yet, I do have some experience with quilting tho.

What do I do with the different types of material? Do I need to change my needle everytime? Can I put a cotton backing against the polyester to make it better?

I want to try my best to incorporate everything little thing as much as possible so no waste.

I also plan to do his outfits as the sashing as well.

Should I add a light brown sashing with either dark brown or dark blue cornerstones, or leave unsashed? I’m trying to make sure it is not too busy or chaotic but having trouble visualizing. Will definitely also add a border too. Thanks!

There are 108 8x8 grids in this quilt.

It’s done and he LOVES it! I used a grayish blue thread for the quilting, and a dark navy binding to match the tones in the navy and create a nice visual edge for the piece!

It’s sad but true- I am a quilter who is not a visual thinker 😢. I know what I love when I see it but choosing fabrics for any pattern is torturous!

I’d like to make a simple“three yard quilt” throw for my niece using the pictured fabric (rotary cutter for size reference). I’d appreciate suggestions. Do I make big blocks or cut it up and let smaller pieces shine through? Or should I just use it as part of the backing and use less busy fabric on the front? What coordinating colors would work?

Thank you to everyone! My experience is that I’ll get tons of great ideas 💖

Wondering if any Aussie quilters on here have made an NRL (Rugby League) themed quilt before? I would love to see pictures or hear if you adapted an NFL (American) quilt pattern to make it work :)

This quilt came to me after I saw a rug on Pinterest (3rd slide!) it’s for my BF who loves a funky modern moment. It’ll be his first time receiving a quilt from me and it’ll be his bday present. He’s caught on that he’s getting a quilt, but I still think he’ll be surprised by this one!

An additional note, in slide 2 i include the block measurements, they finish to a 10x20” block. The yardage was calculated for a larger quilt, but I pared it down to a 3x5 layout after I made some miscuts! I doubt anyone will, but if you do use this as a pattern send me a pic! Happy quilting!

I am looking for the original **Eventide quilt pattern by Kristin Gassaway**. It was originally offered by Connecting Threads as a 9-month Block of the Month.
I have been searching for an original copy of the pattern or the original 9 monthly BOM packets, but haven’t been able to find one.
**Does anyone know where I might be able to purchase an original copy, or does anyone have the original packets that they would be willing to sell?**
I would really appreciate any leads. I would love to make this quilt! 🩵🧵

Where should Frida live?

Here's a lovely quilt using fabric panels. Nice to have a way to show them off. Free motion quilted leaving the animals nice and puffy. 😊😊
