I am a beginner and I am not afraid to tackle this one all thanks to your clear and easy to follow instructions. Thankyou.
I love this pattern. I have a few printed charm packs. I'm going to my LQS tomorrow and get a solid charm pack. 🙂🙂
I am "very" new to sewing. 3 days with a sewing machine. I'm so glad I found this video. I'm excited to try this. Wish me luck.
+Terry Grenier good luck terry. I am a new quilter too
+Linda Head Good luck Linda, I'm going to make a crib one first before I tackle a bigger one. I'm also a new sewer. Got my first machine 30 days ago.
I made the deer panel one attic window.easy as pie alamode
Luck! Ive been struggling with a difficult 9 patch disappearing pinwheel quilt. 🙈 I'm going too take a break from that and make this quilt. I'm not as new as you are.... but I feel like I'm over my head. I agree... this quilt look super easy and FUN.
Thank you so much Kimberly. I love watching your videos because your instructions are always clear. Have a great day.❤️
I really like this one. Not too plain but not too difficult to do. I'll have to give this one a try!
Classic Kimberly : ) Love this! Your easy-going style, fresh appearance, calm approach and precision welcome us right into your sewing room. This is something you, Joanna, Edyta & Camille all have in common - love all of you!! The world around us is full of action-packed motion, sound, color and style - your "classic Kimberly" is so enjoyable - set apart from everyone else : ) Easy to follow and learn from - as well as taking a friend into our sewing rooms. Thank you.
Love how easy this quilt is thank you❤❤❤❤
I fell in love with this way to complete a quilt top. I made two lovely quilt tops using Bonnie and Camile's Scrumptious...I just love them both...Thanks for motivating me to get back to quilting.
I love this! Really different form just a 4 or 9 patch. Thank You for showing
So cute!
from Gerry- This is adorable and so easy. Thank you so much. Blessings.
I've used this pattern twice and love it. Once as an heirloom quilt after my mother in laws passing. I incorporated some fabric from a pillow she had hand sewn and always used. And the second was for a gift for my 15 year old daughters best friends Christmas/birthday gift. She said it made her feel better while she was I'll with Covid. Thank You for this easy and versatile pattern.
bellissimo tutorial! grazie!
I love this pattern!!!! Thanks for inspiring us :-)
Thank you! I love this and feel so inspired! I'd like to try to do placemats and perhaps a tablerunner with the basic idea. I can't wait to get started!
She does a very good job to show how to cut and sew the pieces together. Good job.
I love this pattern. I'm addicted to charm packs.
Very beautiful thanks!
Thanks, I love the way you explain, is clear and so easy.
You make it look so easy! I'll have to try this.
I love it :) thank you Kimberly for sharing your talents, I enjoyed watching this tutorial, it was easy and can not wait to make this quilt. Look forward to watching more tutorials...
I’ve watched this video several times and purchased the charm packs. I just realized you are using 2 different patterned charm packs and I had purchased 2 of the same. Hoping it still looks nice with the extra duplication of patterns. This is my second quilt and I so enjoy sewing along with Kimberly!
I bought 2 of the same as well. How did yours turn out?
@@neenekinskins6241 it turned out great! I’m giving it as a wedding present this weekend and I know the bride is going to like it!!
@@tracyjeror84 OH that is great! I bet they will love it too. Have a wonderful time at the wedding and may the happy couple be blessed with a lifetime full of love, health and happiness. 💖
@@neenekinskins6241 thank you! Enjoy your day! Happy Quilting!
Wonderful tutorial!
I love this pattern and the fact that you can make it as a scrappy quilt. I have so many scraps of fabric and plan to make the quilt like this using blocks that I have cut and put away. I have to use my stash up before I can buy any more fabric. Thanks so much for this wonderful idea..
Thank you Linda! So glad you like the video! We hope you decide to make the quilt. Be sure to send photos if you do!
what a great video. Thank you so much
Really good tutorial on making a quilt. Easy to follow directions.
Nice and easy quilt. Thanks!
I love watching your video because I learn alot from you. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. Loved it
You're welcome, Vicki! Thank you for watching and we hope you enjoy sewing the quilt pattern.
Awesome!
love your videos and free patterns .. you are a great teacher .. can't wait to make some of your quilts .. thank you so much for doing this .. take care and God bless :o)
I am so going to make this👍❤️
super nice!
Thank you. Great pattern.
You're welcome! We hope you decide to make one!
Thank You!!!
Wonderful tutorial Kimberley, and I love the tip with pinning at the bottom. Another great pattern.
Hi Sandy! Thank you for the comment and we are so happy you enjoyed the video. Happy sewing!
Great tut Kimberly - love this pattern. Thanks!
Thank you Sherry! WE hope you decide to make one!
Definitely have to make this quilt, so cute!
Thanks Patty! Hope you enjoy making the quilt!
I really enjoy your tutorials. I especially like your marking tips & you don't sound hurried or rushed. Your directions are clear and simple to follow. Please continue to do more.
Thank you Lillian! We will definitely be recording more tutorials. Be sure to subscribe to our UA-cam channel!
Fab! Kimberly you are a great teacher.
If it is a Sweetwater collection use Bella Solid Porcelain 182.
If it is a Bonnie & Camille collection use Bella Solid Bleached White 97.
For other collections go for a neutral contrast *like the Bella Silver Kimberly used for a nice neutral with her blue/green/pink/reds prints* so the print charms pop.
Thank you so much! So happy to have you watching!
What a great use of all the pretty charm packs I've been hoarding, and a wonderful excuse to take advantage of the charm pack sale at Fatquarter Shop! I loved this tutorial and will add this quilt to my list of future projects.
Thank you! We hope you have fun sewing this quilt!
I really like the the ironing surface you are using.... are there some instructions for making it? It would be super to make some for quilt guild. We use several of your patterns for our charity quilting. This year we distributed 165 charity lap quilts and 60 pillowcases.
+Cassandra Lancaster The particular one we used in this video is no longer made however, we recommend the Cut N' Press mat here: www.fatquartershop.com/quilters-cut-n-press-ii
So sad to see such cute charm packs no longer available. I can't seem to find any that I like as much as I do Color Me Happy.
+Krista Hamby I know, it is terribly sad. This was a great collection. You might be interested in Color Me Happy or another collection by the same designer here: www.fatquartershop.com/v-and-co-fabric-moda-fabrics
An oldie, but a goodie! The video, that is. Lol. I’m wondering what size pin you use/recommend? I’ve been quilting less than 8 months, but (garment) sewing over 53 years. Different worlds, I can attest. I am addicted, so far. Happy sewing 🧵!
Hello Jeanne! Kimberly uses Little House Glass Head Pins with Tin - bit.ly/3yLHFN4
Thank you I understand now, you can tell I am new to sewing but I have made the Layer Cake Lemonade & Jelly Roll Jam with great success, thanks to Kimberley's clear instructions, I did not think I could sew anything like this, thank you for greatly improving my life !!
That is amazing news Ali. We are so happy to have you quilting along with us. Be on the look out because another shortcut quilt will be coming out in the next month or two. Take care.
Hi Michaela, in order to make this a king-sized quilt, you will need an 8 x 8 block layout, which will finish at 104" x 108". You will need 32 Block Ones and 32 Block Twos. So you will start with 288 print squares and 288 solid squares. That will be 8 Moda print charm packs, and 8 Moda solid charm packs.
U
Gosh! Look how we used to starch, Kimberly!
This machine is a juki and it is a great machine, very high quality, and I love it
Dorothy - Kimberly LOVES sewing on her Juki! It is a very high quality machine indeed!
Help, the only page that printed was " Fabric requirements and Area of quilt" I really am so excited to find the Fat Quarter Shop videos, she takes the guess direction out and makes everything so easy. Also her voice is very pleasing to hear. Thank you for your wonderful videos.
Here is the link you can try again. static.fatquartershop.com/media/wysiwyg/pdf/CPCherry-Pattern.pdf If that doesn't work, email me at Codi@fatquartershop.com and I can send you a JPG version that might print easier. Thanks!
I just found your videos and love them! It's probably been asked before, but what model Juki are you using? Thanks, can't wait for the next video.
Do you make all of the paper makers you use, such as "TOP", the 1,2,3 cards? Those would be extremely helpful!! I love our tutorials, so clear and you explain everything so well.
Hi Cindy! We made the ones that say "TOP" but you can buy the 1, 2, 3 and A, B, Cs in our Alphabitties Marking Tools pack: www.fatquartershop.com/alphabitties-specialty-marking-tools
Great tutorial. your methods are great. Can we have more please?
Why sure! Be sure to check out all of our Shortcut Quilt videos here: ua-cam.com/play/PLNTabBf7OG9LV-Lr1B-ddOqp8rJS9xL_a.html Thanks for watching!
thanks
FREE quilt pattern from Fat Quarter Shop, the Charm Pack Cherry! Download the pattern & watch the tutorial video!
Thank you for "free". We appreciate really free classes and patterns. Quilting supplies are expensive enough. I will be ordering from you. It is only fair to support the sponsors who care enough to give us "free" classes instead of "teasers" to get us to pay for a class.
Fat Quarter Shop
Fat Quarter Shop ,y
Fat Quarter Shop Thank you.
Diane Holloway fat quarter shop patterns
Makes me want to sew and sew and sew.
We hope you decide to make the Charm Pack Cherry quilt!
very cool idea! quick and easy. I will be trying this :) I subscribed to your channel so I am sure I am going to receive a lot more excellent ideas! Thnaks
Thank you Vickie! We hope you enjoy our videos. There are many more great videos in the works, so be on the look out!
Love this quilt! Thanks for sharing! I also was curious about the foot on your machine. is it one specifically for your machine? where can i get one of these?!
Thank you Nicole! Kimberly uses an adapter to attach the 1/4 inch foot to her Juki. She got hers at Sew Much More, an Austin quilt shop!
Hi Kimberly-Love your channel. I have a question about quilting with my own machine. What stitch length is best and should I use the Aurofil thread? Thank you!
❤😊
how do you keep matched corners so tight? wow! mine are so off and on.
Alternate direction seam allowance pressing so that the seams “nest”. Fat Quarter Shop patterns typically give clear instructions on which way to press the seams.
Hi Kimberly! Your videos are fantastic. Thanks so much. I have been doing simple flannel quilts for many years for my kids & grandkids an have recently stepped it up a bit. Can you tell me where I can get a 1/4 guide such as what I saw on your machine?
Hi Fayth! Are you referring to our 1/4 inch foot? You can simply purchase one online that works with your sewing machine. We just love them and it makes our seams and quilts much more accurate. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks!
I found one the next day! So excited..., you know how it is, if you don't know something exists, you can't ask for it.
Thank you Kimberly. I recently purchased charm packs (from Fat Quarter Shop of course). How do I know which solids to order now ? I'm not sure what goes with each. Anxious to make one! Thanks again
Hi Cheri! We can help! You can email us and we can suggest some solids to go with the CPs you chose. Email chelsey@fatquartershop.com!
Thank you. I would sew another line by the line you drew and then you will have another square. best to sew a double line now and you will have finished block\
Just a question but how big would I have to make my quilt so it would fit on a king single bed? I'm can't print the pattern off because I wrote this on my tablet
hi Kimberley im very new to quilting so I would like to ask you why do you press the seams the way you do? is quilts block always press this way? also what size are your squares? sorry to ask. love this video.
Hi dogandcatmum, thanks for watching. The reason you would press your seams in different directions is because it reduces the bulkiness of your block. When you overlay fabrics your block gets bulky and uneven. If you alternate the fabrics, it balances the weight. I hope this answers your question. Feel free to let me know if you need any additional help!
Hi Kimberly...I have finished my rows of each block 1 and 2. I have a question. Should I add a border or just finish up with binding? If it would be a good idea to add a border what would you suggest - a matching charm pack cut in half to form a rectangle? I am sort of a new quilter. Thanks for your help and suggestions! Joyce
Hi there! I personally prefer the quilt without a border however if you want to make this quilt larger and have the piecing float inside a border...I would recommend a 5" solid border. If you pieced a border together it might look too busy. However, if you are just interested in making this quilt larger, we have done the math for you. Check out our link here: fatquartershop.blogspot.com/2015/03/charm-pack-cherry-versary.html
Thank you!
Love this. I have this color me happy charm pack but which colour of grey solid was used from the Moda range?
Hello Jennifer! We believe it was this one: www.fatquartershop.com/steel-bella-solids-charm-pack
@@FatQuarterShopTX thanks!
LOVE the Alphabitties (sp?) idea!! Are they laminated?
+SmittenKitten Alphabitties are a die-cut plastic marker. They are not laminated. Thanks for your question. You can find there here: www.fatquartershop.com/alphabitties-specialty-marking-tools
Fat Quarter Shop Thanks so much! I think these would help me incredibly. :)
Are the charm packs the same? As in 2 of the same prints, and 2 of the same solids? How much fabric is needed for the backing? Thank you!!
That is correct. You will need 3.5 yards backing. Here is a link to a page with more information: www.fatquartershop.com/free-quilt-pattern-charm-pack-cherry-free-quilt-pattern Thanks!
I have two of the Color Me Happy charm packs in my stash. I really want to make this quilt but I'm not sure which Bella Solid color to order Which one do you use in this video? There are several in the grey color family.
+Samantha White We used the Zen Charm Pack and you can find them here: www.fatquartershop.com/zen-grey-bella-solids-charm-pack Thanks for watching!
+Fat Quarter Shop Thank you! :)
Hi Kimberly,I love your tutorial but it looks very intimidating. I am a beginner at all this sewing stuff. What kind of quilt would you advise for a newbie?
I would recommend any shortcut quilt we offer. ua-cam.com/play/PLNTabBf7OG9LV-Lr1B-ddOqp8rJS9xL_a.html If you want to work with larger pieces, try the Layer Cake Lemonade. Also the Jelly Roll Jam is very popular beginner.
thank you
should charm packs be washed before hand? I have flannel charm pack and minky for my backing.
+uniquely liberated We recommend not prewashing Charm Packs or any precut for that matter.
If I wanted to make the quilt longer, like a twin size would I just add 1 extra print and 1 extra solid charm pack?
Hi Jane! For a 65” x 81” size, you will need a 5 x 6 block layout, so three Block One Rows (15 Block Ones) and two Block Two Rows (10 Block Twos).
You will need to start with 13 Solid and 13 Print Nine-Patch Blocks. That means you will need 117 squares each of prints and solids, so 3 print and 3 solid Moda Charm Packs.
Fat Quarter Shop Thanks for doing the "quilt math" for me!
Hello- I greatly appreciate your tutorial on making this quilt. Making a quilt is on my "to do" list- however, I thought I would start small & make one for my 2 daughters 18" dolls.Do u have any measurements or link for making a charm quilt for 18" dolls?
Hi Jennifer - we actually do not have any tiny quilt patterns or tutorials for doll quilts. I have briefly looked on pinterest and found several free tutorials. You might want to just look around the internet and you might just find one you like. Good luck!
You could cut the charms into fours and then just follow the pattern as normal! It'll make an itty bitty charm blanket!
Bekka Venoy thank you Bekka for this information.
THANKS FOR THE UMBRELLA APPLIQUE TUTORIAL. CAN YOU POST A TUTORIAL FOR A THREADS SPOOLS QUILT.THANKS
hi Kimberley sorry to ask you but do you do videos on how to put the back and middle on to the front blocks? Thank you for all your help. Sorry to trouble you again.
We do not currently have quilt assembly video but continue to check back to our UA-cam channel as we have many future videos that can be useful to you! Thanks for watching.
I totally messed this up when puting blocks 1 and 2 together. I'm very frustrated. Now I have to take them apart.
Kimberly, I have the Juki TL2010Q Sewing Machine and can't find the 1/4 Quilter's Foot with guide anywhere. Does your shop carry this or know where I can purchase one for this machine?
+Krista Hamby Hi Krista!
I use this ¼” foot on my Juki 2010TL: amzn.to/1jywCOE
Then for your machine you can purchase either a low or high shank adapter for the foot to fit on:
amzn.to/TXtiQE
amzn.to/1jyx2V2
the foot on your sewing machine looks different than on mine, is it a special kind of foot? Looks like it has a ledge to keep fabric from moving?
Hi Christine! That's a 1/4" foot, Kimberly uses it so she knows exactly where a quarter inch lines up on her fabric.
How many of the 5"X5" squares would you need for a queen size quilt?
they did the math on this on their blog :) blog.fatquartershop.com/charm-pack-cherry-versary/
Could you please tell me if I should sort the printed charm packs as they are packed identically ? this is probably a silly question but Kimberley's printed charm squares came up assorted.
Charm Pack prints vary from different collections. We just simply took a scrappy approach and chose the prints from the top to the bottom. I hope this answers your question. Feel free to email me at Codi@fatquartershop.com if you have any further questions. Thanks!
Thank you for talking slow and for talking layman's terms. After pressing specific seam directions, marking the top of the blocks seems so standard, yet no one has ever mentioned this when I watch other tutorials. I get so mixed up if I turn one or set one over to the side. And the math all makes sense. Knowing how many finished blocks I will get from these cuttings gives me a light at the end of the tunnel so to speak. Sometimes the piles of cut strips 2 and a half by 5 and 2 and a half by 7 get too overwhelming and I lose confidence in beginning to sew. This made sense.
what machine are you using in this tutorial, the foot looks very handy to have in the tool box...
We purchased this 1/4 inch foot with a guide from a quilt store in Austin called Sew Much More. Here is a link to their site: sewaustin.com/ Thanks for watching!
I have a Picnic Pop pack (Me and My Sister) that I have been holding on to for the right quilt. Do you think that would look good in this pattern for a baby quilt?
Hello Marie! Yes that would look great!
It turned out great!!! I used a green for the solid that was in the sheets, etc, on her list. It came out better than I thought! Thank you for the pattern! Also I really appreciate that you give row dimensions in the pattern. I do quilt as you go so this really makes a pattern easier for me to use!
What pins are used in this video? I'm trying to find flat quilting pins that are good quality. I got some dritz flat quilt pins and they were horrible and need to get something better.
Our favorite pins are the Collins Flat Flower Pins found here: www.fatquartershop.com/collins-2-flat-flower-pins
Do you think a baby quilt would look nice if I use 3 blocks across and 3 down? Thanks
+Jacqueline Lindberg Hi Jacqueline! Yes, that will work for a baby quilt, and in fact we have posted requirements and instructions on how to make it that size on our blog post here: fatquartershop.blogspot.com/2015/03/charm-pack-cherry-versary.html
Have a great day!
+Fat Quarter Shop Thank you for taking time to answer me and for your tutorials.
I see the fabric requirements for a twin and king size, but I would like to make a queen size. Can you help me with this. Thanks.
Hello, here is the information to make this quilt into a Queen:
QUEEN - 91" x 94.5" (7 rows, 7 blocks in each row)
6 print CPs or 225 squares
6 solid CPs or 225 squares
7/8 yard binding
8 1/2 yards backing
Following the instructions in the pattern, make 25 Print Nine-Patch Blocks and 25 Solid Nine-Patch Blocks. Using these, make 28 Block Ones and 21 Block Twos.
Assemble seven Block Ones into a Block One Row, and make four Block One Rows.
Assemble seven Block Twos into a Block Two Row, and make three Block Two Rows.
Assemble the rows as shown in the pattern, alternating the rows.
We have also listed other sizes on our blog here: fatquartershop.blogspot.com/2015/03/charm-pack-cherry-versary.html Thanks!
What is the iron you ard using?
What is the product you are using to mark the prints/solids/left/right?
Hi Kirstin - we are using Alphabitties found here: www.fatquartershop.com/alphabitties-specialty-marking-tools They are perfect for marking your fabrics. Thanks for your question.
Hello, how much yardage would the 2 solid charm packs amount to? 1.5 yd? Thank you.
Hello! You will need a little over 1.5 yards. I would suggest cutting them from 1 5/8 yards in case of any miscuts.
Fat Quarter Shop
Thank you for your reply!
I'm wondering what kind of sewing machine do you use?
Hi Katlynn! Kimbelry uses the Juki TLQ2010. Thank you for watching!
How do I get the free pattern. It looks like something a beginner could do and I am a total beginner. Thank you.
Hello Polly! The free pattern is available in the description box underneath the video. Here is a link to the pattern: www.fatquartershop.com/charm-pack-cherry-quilt
I'm wondering how this would look using darks and lights instead of prints and solids. Any thoughts? Love the simplicity of the design and yet it is more interesting to look at than just a bunch of squares. :)
+Linda Lehn Linda, go for it! It sounds like a great idea, and there are lots of great solid, batik and other basic color charm packs you can use. Here is our charm pack page to browse: www.fatquartershop.com/charm-packs
How much yardage for backing and binding? Newbie here. Quilt math is confusing!
Hi Karen, here is the pattern for you to review. It will tell you exactly how much fabric is needed for the binding and backing. Enjoy! static.fatquartershop.com/media/wysiwyg/pdf/CPCherry-Pattern.pdf
Thank you so much!
What kind of pressure foot do you use?
Hello Donna! Kimberly uses the Primitive Gatherings ¼” foot: www.primitivegatherings.us/jukki-products/juki-1-4-foot
Can you tell me your source for the large cutting board? Who is the manufacturer?
Hello Cynthia! Kimberly used a Megamat translucent cutting mat. We had an amazon link but the seller is currently sold out.
how many 9 patch blocks do I need for a full size quilt?
Hello Carolyn! We did not design this quilt to be full sized but we have other size options available here: blog.fatquartershop.com/charm-pack-cherry-versary/
We recommend at least 1/3 of a yard of each color.
With nesting seams why so much pinning.
do I pre wash these charm packs
No, when you work with precuts, it's crucial that you skip the prewashing otherwise it will distort/shrink your pieces.
thank you
