I love this fast method. I can use up the "I don't know what I was thinking when I bought this" fabric and make backs for all of my family quilts.
I love your way of positively encouraging people to just try quilting! This is something that anyone could accomplish in a short period of time. What a great gift it would make. With just a border added, it would be a great nursing home quilt. I had a friend who had never quilted and I mentored her in making a brick quilt out of flannels for her husband for Christmas. It is his all-time favorite thing and it was one of the simplest quilts I’ve ever seen. In order to pass on the skill, people have to think they’re capable of doing it. Congratulations to you for giving them that empowerment!
Thank you for your kind words, Dianne! Happy sewing!
Absolutely yes I am very inspired and can't wait to have a go as I too am new to quilting x
Thank you for making a quilt top look so easy. I've had my fat quarters sitting there staring at me for some time. This has given me the nerve to try it. I've always wanted to sew a quilt and maybe now I'll do it!
Paula did you end up making one?
Thank you, Valerie. "Not all quilts have to take a lifetime to make." Yes, refreshing tutorial. I probably will make one.
Thank you, Patricia! Just do it, have fun with your stash and please show us the result! Happy sewing!
Oh.my.goodness. I 'sew' needed to see and hear this. Sometime we make our creative journey harden than it needs to be. There are enough stressful things in the world today and our creativity should not be one of them. We should be enjoying the blessing of how important it is to make something from our hearts with our hands. Thank you.
Awesome quick quilt! I think my favorite part is that you can make 4 and sew them together and get an 80” square!
I love the look of the quilt and how easy it looks. Warm and cosy colours. I like that you put a pile of fabric on the one side of the sewing machine and the other pile on the other side and bring them together to sew. A great idea. Thank you.
Thank you, Nancy! It is a fun, quick and easy quilt! Happy sewing!
Just a note...in the UK a fat quarter is 20in by 22in but in the US a fat quarter is 18in by 22in
This is a 💟💟BRILLIANT💟💟 tutorial
Thank you for helping me find my motivation again and the pleasure of accomplishment through uncomplicated means
I love to sew. I've made many huge quilts & several lap quilts for seniors. It's a great creative outlet that I love to share. Quilts are made with love & passion.
I totally agree! Quilts are made with love and passion. Happy sewing!
I love this idea, thank you so much for sharing.
Love this. As a beginner I am excited to give it a try.

Hope this helps. Happy sewing!
Some post-it notes or even mailing labels can also help order the piles. Younger family members sometimes try to “help” me and some written reminders can be very helpful. Love the plaid fabric and colours. Great for autumn.
Good idea👍
That was awesome! So refreshing after so many tutorials that are much more complicated. Thank you kindly Valerie
After this tutorial, I want to make a flannel one with shirts from the goodwill! thanks Valerie.
Thank you! Quick, comfy quilt.
A little to quick for me! Will definitely need to watch this video a few times. Looks great so will try. Thank you for sharing.
Very inspiring, and so well done, thank you!!
Love that you said, we are all busy but need to make time to be creative. Love what you did. Just recently started sewing, never used to like sewing. Now l just love it.
Thank you, Lorraine! I'm so glad you enjoy it. Happy sewing!
I just found your videos today, and I just want to say that you're so wonderful to watch and listen to. This makes quilting seem so doable!
Beautiful and super fast. The choices of looks are endless!!
Nice! Thank you.
Thankyou so much for sharing this quick way you really have inspired me to have a go again thankyou s
This is a great technique. So happy I found this. Awesome teacher. 😁

Thank you, Susan! All combinations will look great! Give it a go and please share with us your work! Happy sewing!
You’re a wonderful instructor! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your kind words! Happy sewing!
Thank you! This is amazing. I'm just beginning to quilt, and this video makes me think that maybe I can actually do this.
Thank you for sharing :) I have never seen anyone sew a piece of fabric at the beginning of the project. I assume that's so the machine wont eat the very edge of fabric! Great idea! I will use this!
The folded-in-half piece before the first square is called a header. It you use another at the end, that's a ender or footer. The advantage of using a header is that there is a tension on the top and bottom threads before the first stitch on your pieces (so they aren't "eaten" as you suggested, especially triangle points), and because the header is two thicknesses, just like the pieces you're joining, the foot doesn't have to "climb" from the plate up to the fabric, which can cause problems as well.
Awesome! This is the fastest quilt I’ve seen that uses fat quarters. I have a ton of stash I want to use up and I’m going to use this idea so much! Thank you!!
Thank you, Kathie! It is great for stash so just give it a try! And if you want to, please send us a picture of the result at pictures@justhands-on.tv to share with our community! Happy sewing!

Nice! Thanks
My kind of quilt..
I’d have that quilt so messed up.lol but you worked magic
Everybody is going to hate me for this, but coming from a garment construction background, I always iron the seams open. I've never had any problems doing that.
I press my seams open too and I use fur, flannel, minty etc for backing.
Hello; HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU.. Thank You for showing us the easies, simply, fast, and cheap way to make a quilt, just 4 different colors -- solid & or prints, all material is to be cotton for this quilt, each material square -- big -- 20 inches each square -- all the seams -- 1/4 inch & so on... I still have to watch your -- this video.. I am going to try it...
Hi Theresa, all the best wishes for 2020! Glad you enjoyed the video, do try it and please send us a picture of the result at pictures@justhands-on.tv to share with our community! Happy sewing!
You dont have to pin it to death haha :) Something I need to learn. My pin box is practically empty when I'm done pinning.
Magnifique
Merci beaucoup! Happy sewing!
Do you have to wash all fabrics first? This is so beautiful!!!! ❤️
Thanks for sharing 11-17-19
That looks like a super idea, do you have it written/drawn out anywhere?
Eso lo sabe hacer cualquiera q tenga idea de coser, no es tan complicado
I would still get the squares muddled up, but that is no criticism of your method. ❤️
it just seems kind of obvious that if you cut really big squares that you can make a quilt top fairly quickly . I guess this is a good video for someone who has never made a quilt before .
Beginners need inspiration and to gain confidence in their skills. So what if this is a beginner level project? I bet you weren't doing itty bitty piecings for your first quilts, either.
Love the quilt. Please tell me the name and manufacturer of the fabrics you were using. I absolutely LOVE your choices.
Thank you, Dixie! This is Pink / Brown check fabric bundle from Creative Quilting, you can find it in our shop: justhands-on.tv/product/brown-check-fabric-bundle-from-creative-quilting/ Happy sewing!
yeah nice..... tops only are easy and quick to do. I wish you had shown adding batting, backing and quilting it and then the binding. (would take a few hours or days then) :-)
Hello,
I have recently started watching your videos I really enjoy your technique.
I was wondering what the little tab of fabric is at the top of all your stitching?
Katy Lynn me too... 😀 I’m a complete novice when it comes to quilting and still trying to understand how she is putting the pieces together...
I have sane question lol
👍❤️😊
Love this way❣️❣️ Can you tell me the name of the block of the blue/white quilt behind you and where I can get the pattern? Thank you.
Hi, Becky, thank you! The quilt is Chop Suey - strip-pieced block with jelly roll strips and some magical cutting and great for beginners! Here you can find Valerie's video justhands-on.tv/product/chop-suey-with-valerie-nesbitt/
Hope this helps! Happy sewing!
What size/measurements do you cut the fat quarters down to?
I want to see a finishing off video! Did she already make one? I'll have to look around.....
Hello! Valerie chose to finish the earlier quilt with quick wavy quilting justhands-on.tv/product/simple-wavy-machine-quilting-with-valerie-nesbitt/ Hope this helps. Happy sewing!
Would you please do a video like this but without timing it so it will be slower. I’m new to this n love this idea but need more help slower. Thank you
Hi, Pam. Sometimes I like to speed up or slow down a video, and you can too, like this, it's easy! Go to the little "cog" icon on the bottom of the video and click on it. A little drop-down menu will show up and you can slow down the tutorial. It slows her voice down as well, but it's very helpful to slow it down or speed it up as needed. Also, if you click on the video itself, you can pause it and click on it again to play it again. One other thing I find helpful when I want to re-watch the last five or ten seconds that I just watched, is, on your computer keyboard, tap on the forward or backward arrow keys to rewind five or ten seconds. Pressing the arrow key more than once makes it go back just a little bit more. I hope this helps. Have a blessed day!
Help! Just bought a sewing machine. Not the best at it. I have made pillows and curtains now. Can you tell me what the best design is to make for a beginner? I'm going to give it a shot.
I have a ton of those plaids from the 1990s ha
Btw subscribed today
Can someone tell me why she places a patch of fabric in the machine before sewing?
Can I jask you the quilt name just behind you with the flower in the center! I fall in love with the rectangles and the flowers!! I went on your side until 4 years ago and didn’t saw it! Thanks.
What is the purpose of the bit of fabric at the start before sewing squares together?

The folded-in-half piece before the first square is called a header. It you use another at the end, that's a ender or footer. The advantage of using a header is that there is a tension on the top and bottom threads before the first stitch on your pieces (so they aren't "eaten" as you suggested, especially triangle points), and because the header is two thicknesses, just like the pieces you're joining, the foot doesn't have to "climb" from the plate up to the fabric, which can cause problems as well.
The brown ones were needing turning
Where does pressing the seams come into play here. Fun ways to use up way too much fabric!
My problem is I over think & coming up with a color pattern
What is the fabric and purpose at the beginning of your sewing each time?
My fat quarters are 18/21 I can't get four ten by tens only two. Am I missing something ?
Hi Leslie. You are using American size Fat 1/'4s so you need to adjust the size of your squares so that you can get four out of each piece - the project gets pieced the same way but will be slightly smaller using 9" squares.
Whphat is the pattern of the blue quilt behind you?
Thank you
Hello, that quilt is a pretty straightforward strip-pieced block to sew that gives amazing results, it is called Chop Suey. You can set blocks traditionally and separated them by sashing. Also, you can just sewn together to create one large quilt top. Or as Valerie did, you can set the blocks on point, which she separated with sashing, cornerstones and setting triangles, so perhaps a setting that requires a little bit more expertise.
You can watch Valerie's video here - watch.justhands-on.tv/videos/taster-chop-suey-with-valerie-nesbitt
Hope this helps! Happy sewing!
I’m not sure including the ironing and cutting that this quilt can be made in the allocated time. Great example of webbing.
But, this does not include the cutting of the fabric. Great idea though!
She explained the cutting, figure out the largest size you can get out of your smallest fat quarter. (which is generally a 9 inch square) and cut 4 squares that size, from each fat quarter.
Unless you sell quilts for a living...for me this is the exact opposite of why I hand quilt. I do it to enjoy the moment. To slow down the the pace of life etc. So I'll just keep stitching entire quilt by hand...do less and... for me... enjoy it more.
@@generalcomments1239 Sometimes, people make quilts and other things for people who are less fortunate, to help those in need. Like someone else said, this is a nice project for making donation quilts for the homeless or for families who have lost everything in a disaster. If you have never participated in relief efforts, the smile on an affected person's face when they receive something that someone made with love is priceless. How would YOU feel if your home has been destroyed by a wildfire, a hurricane or a tornado and you received one of these simple quilts... versus a Mylar emergency blanket or wool surplus Army blanket? So perhaps these simple quilts aren't fancy and elaborate... but a person took time anyway to give of themselves. It's the same as the quick and simple crochet beanies that people make for orphanages and low income families and nurseries. They will keep someone warm, they will protect a baby, and they were made by someone who cares enough to do it to help many who need the help. So why? Because some things are worth more than being fancy... and it's not always about "you".
Wow ! Good for you hand stitching whole quilts. I admire that tremendously , but would never, ever finish. Sometimes the choice is to find quicker ways, or make nothing. LOL.
I gather this is for the advanced quilter ... Cause it was to fast for me to follow as a new a d really dont have clue Eve tho I'm seamstress but not quilts sewong
ITS A GREAT LEARNING VIDEO BUT WHAT SHE SAYS COULD BE CLEARER AND LOUDER, THANKS
Noted! Happy sewing!
hmm,just 1 side of the quilt u made in 13 minutes, is not a full finished quilt ,also 1 of the dark brown squares is not matched up.ty .but love the colors ur way of stitching
