- Follow along with Jennifer to learn how to make this classic Bubble Quilt (also known as a puff quilt or biscuit quilt) with a cute ruffled edge! Check below for links to the products mentioned in this video.
The backing is sewn to the quilt when the ruffles are added (reference our free download for ruffle instructions and learn how to add the backing). The dimensions of the backing will depend on the number of blocks you choose to include in your project. Measure the height and width of the quilt after all blocks have been sewn together to find the dimensions of the backing!

Just a suggestion, if you sew the pockets that contain the filling into a strip side by side first and then stuff them it's much easier . Then sew all the tops shut in one row of stitching. Add the next empty row of pockets and repeat.
Thanks for the great tip!
Good suggestion 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You could even sew two empty rows together, back to back and then stuff each and sew shut, this means you would only have to sew half as many "stuffed" row seams together, Thanks Nanna!
Clever!
Thankyou for this tip. An excellent, streamlined method.
i made 1 for my granddaughter when she was born , I had so much fun making it , she is now 21 ...great watching you make this .love the pink fabrics used its so pretty
Love that story so much! Thanks for watching!
This is the clearest tutorial I've found on making "puff" quilts! Huge thanks!!!
That is awesome to hear! So glad you like the tutorial!

i agree :-)
Jennifer I knew a lady who made the puff quilts back in the early 1970's era and it is an old quilt pattern. She made a queen size quilt out of the puffs. A few years ago I saw a girl wearing a puff jacket in black color - very small puffs and really nice. She was really slim and it looked fabulous on her.
That is so cool to hear! A queen size quilt would use a lot of puffs- but it would be gorgeous!
Yes the queen size quilt sure would use a lot of fabric but it is worth the bother. I have seen a thing that goes in the crib to protect the baby's head (I forget the name of it) but someone made one out of puffs and it looked beautiful. I saw a girl with a black puff jacket with tiny puffs and it was beautiful. The ideas are boundless. Puff quilts have been in since at least the 1970's and I know because I went to school with the woman in question when she got married she made one for her bed a queen size and very beautiful. I live in Canada and the lady is now in the US since quite a number of years with her husband.
The first quilt I ever made was a Bubble Quilt. In 1976. It was in different shades of blue. It was so much work and cost way more than I could afford at that time. I gifted it to my inlaws for Christmas, and never saw it again. LOL! Never again!!
Oh no!! That's so sad! Hopefully they liked it though. These quilts are such an investment of time, but they're becoming so popular again. We're seeing them at baby showers and being given as Christmas gifts to little ones. - Morgan
Years (decades) have gone by and still I've not made one of these! So, tonight - finding your tutorial, I am most grateful for the reminder.
I wish I had saved all of my children's t-shirts - and could make a puff quilt for each of them out of their own t-shirts.
Ahhh, too late!! My eldest is now 54 and my youngest 47. LOL
It's never too late to make something for your kids :) Thanks for watching- so glad you were inspired to create!
I'm a crocheter,but this looks like so cute! I'm going to give it a try!!!!
That's awesome! It's always fun to try new things :)
Beautiful! I remember seeing one of these many many years ago, being used for a fundraiser. I loved it then and love it still. Well done.
We love that these are making a comeback! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing this tutorial! I have been looking for a tutorial to make a quilt like this that does not require making slits on the back of each puff/bubble, and now I've found it!
Thank you for watching Rachel! We're glad you found it! Happy Sewing! ~Leah
Thank you again Jen for this awesome video! Since I made my 1st bubble quilt, I have shared your video on Facebook many times even as far away as Australia! I bought a 5 LB box of the Poly-Fill to begin with. The quilt I made will fit a twin size bed. I also have made 3-12X16 bubble pillows. I still have enough of the poly-fil to make another twin size quilt.
That is awesome! A little goes a long way with the polyfil for this quilt! Happy you have been successful with this project :)
Beautiful tutorial on the bubble quilt. Love all your tutorials.Yolanda Hernandez
+Yolanda Hernandez thank you so much for taking the time to watch our tutorials and for leaving this kind comment!
Adorable! I'm new in quilts and I think I can do this! Thank you
You absolutely can do this- it is a great project for beginners!
I was going to make one of these years ago but never got around to it. Good to know they are back in fashion again - a friends granddaughter is due in a few months, so I have a good reason to try and make one :) Thanks for this tutorial.
+Lesley Gilbert we love how things always come back around, don't you? Thanks for watching! I'm sure your friend's granddaughter will love one of these as a gift for her little one!
Best puff quilt tutorial I've seen. Thank you!
Thank you so much!!
Cute quilt Jennifer! To cut cost of project use a muslin for that back of the puffy block, use a scant 1/4” seam to reduce losing the finish size of block, and consider using a gathering foot instead of making a tuck.
Those are great tips, than you for sharing with us!!
I think I will have to make one of these for my Granddaughter when she transitions from her crib to her big bed!!!
This will be such a lovely quilt for her! I've seen them in more and more nurseries and toddler rooms. So fun! - Morgan
I can see myself making a Bubble quilt for my 3 granddaughters' dolls!
+Patty Ward what a cute idea! Quilts for dolls will be so darling!
Best video on You Tube for Bubble quilts....Thank you!
So happy you are loving this video :) Thanks for watching!
The very best bubble quilt 💞💞💞
I'm watching this many years later but I remember when people used to make these and instead of stuffing them of polyfill they stuffed them with their old nylon stockings.
you make this look much easier thank you
So happy we could help make this project seem a bit easier :)
So going to try this for a baby quilt for friend. New to quilting & this looks so good
It's a fun project!! -Michelle

Merry Christmas! 🎄
wow, I was searching to find out how to make a puffed cushion for my computer chair, I saw 2 tutorials which included ripping the backs of each square ( i dont want to hand sew, if i can avoid it I will ! but your method looks so much easier. I love love love this baby crib quilt but no-one is expecting right now!, if I remove the ruffle and replace it with binding and a backing fabric theres the cushion I was wanting to make thanks for making this look so achievable I willbe giving it a try in April and sending in a pic of the result xx
We're so excited you found this!! This will be a lovely cushion for your chair, we love that idea. Yes, please send us pictures, we'd love to see your project and hear how it went! You can always reach out with any questions, too. We try to get to them as quickly as possible (usually within a day!) - Morgan

Your video is truly THE BEST on how to make a bubble quilt! I hate to admit it but at 69 years of age I have never seen one. I am a seamstress and all of the instructions I saw before looked very complicated and time consuming until I saw your video! What size bag of Poly-Fil would I need to do a 36"X60" quilt? and What is the best brand to buy to keep the Poly-Fil from bunching up when washed? I am so excited to get started on one for my newest granddaughter! I think I'm going to zig-zag the edges of each bubble for added endurance during washing over a long period of time.
It's hard to say how much polyfil you'll need because we just keep going until we don't need anymore :) As far as the bunching, there will always be a little adjusting to do after washing these puff quilts so just grab your favorite brand! Zig-zagging the edges of the puffs is a great idea!
Here is the link to the backing and ruffle instructions: www.shabbyfabrics.com/Assets/Downloads/BubbleQuilt_forDownload.pdf
Adorei a combinação de cores. Great. Abraços do Brasil
Thank you! Happy Holidays! ❄~Leah
I'd love to see this quilt after it's been washed. I've seen these for years but was always concerned after washing they just wouldn't be the same.
Thanks for watching LindieLee! You can wash it on a delicate cycle and either tumble dry with no heat or low heat for best "puffiness". You may still have to fluff the filling a bit after a wash. You might even try tossing a few tennis balls in during the tumble dry; I know that works well for down comforters.

I wish you could show us how to make the ruffled edge!! Its such a beautiful project!
+Ali Tejera here is a video where we show you how to make ruffles (the measurements may be different but the technique is the same: ua-cam.com/video/knQ_6OYrNdw/v-deo.html
Here is the free download for the ruffle and finishing instructions for the Bubble Quilt: www.shabbyfabrics.com/Assets/Downloads/BubbleQuilt_forDownload.pdf
+Shabby Fabrics Thank you so much!!
fascinating!
So glad you like it! - Morgan
I'm an experienced quilter but I've never made a bubble quilt. It is so so cute. But I don't understand how to finish off the back. The video is great as far as it goes. But please explain how to finish it. Thanks for the great video! :-)
Great question! You will want your backing to measure the exact same as your top and then you can follow these instructions for how to add the ruffle and backing: www.shabbyfabrics.com/Assets/Downloads/BubbleQuilt_forDownload.pdf
To make it so the backing is not loose from the top, you can tac stitch at the corners of some of the bubbles after the backing is on :)
I have a question about the backing. After you sew it on and finish the opening, do you do any quilting to hold the backing from just being loose , maybe tie quilting or something like that? It would seem to be unfinished without something. Thanks! Love your tutorials!!
I have often seen these quilts tied so that's a great option! Thanks for watching Karen! XO Jen
Love the demonstration. I wish you had shown the back “reverse side” of the Quilt with the finished product. Reason, I wanted to see how much of the stitches and pieced together fabric seems are shown since there is no backing added to the quilt.
We actually do add a backing to these quilts- We do not have a tutorial for that, but here is a link to both of our Bubble Quilt tutorials www.shabbyfabrics.com/free-downloads-and-video?search=bubble+quilt - both of the Free Download instructions tell you that we added a backing by placing the fabric on the front side of the quilt (right sides together) and sewing then turning it around. We did not go over it with quilting, so it's only stitched on the edges. If you're going to add batting inbetween the layers, we would recommend stitching the batting down to the backing prior to stitching. I do hope this makes sense! Please let us know if you have any more questions. -Michelle
Wow... this is awesome... never thot about a ruffle... but instead of following my original pattern which incorporated a border will do the ruffle instead...wow... just awesome... now i noticed in my pattern the center of the puff squares are either tied with yarn or a button is sewn... is it really necessary? Will i need to quilt so that the backing stay in place....? My thinking is if i tie the puffs that old be enof quilting.... I would appreciate ur suggestions... meanwhile i will go to ur website and download ur pattern... many thanks or this video... really clears the air for me.... blessings...
So you will need to tack down the front of the quilt to the backing in order to make sure it stays in place, otherwise they will billow apart from each other. You can just use your machine to add a couple of stitches at some of the corners of your puffs to stitch the top together with the backing (it isn't at all necessary to tack down every single corner, but you can do that, too). Hopefully that helps clear up some confusion!
SWEET
teresa cole of course and I am so excited about my daughter in law school I can't even go out to class today so just because I uu
Thank you! ~Leah🙃
Merry Christmas June! 🎄~Leah
😊
😀
I also have a question about backing. After it is sewen to the ruffle, what keeps it from separating from the quilt. Does it need to quilted in between the puff blocks Valerie
You can tac it in place in the corners of the blocks with a few stitches or sew squares around each "puff" to keep it in place. It is really up to you :)
This is a wonderful tutorial!!!! I have owned two puff top king size bed spreads in the 30+ yrs that my husband and I have been married and I am in need of another one as they sure do help to keep one warm as well as being unusual and pretty too. I have had no luck in finding one on line from a trustworthy company so it looks like I am going to need to TRY and make one, you make this look so easy!!!! can you tell me for a California King what the measurements would be? Also.. I need to know how to add the three tier ruffle's for the bottom all the way around please??? thank you, Sheila
A king size quilt (will also fit Cali-king) is about 110" x 108" but you can make it square with this quilt method. You will need to make it 24 blocks x 24 blocks or a bit smaller since you want ruffles. As for the 3-tiered ruffles, we do not have specific instructions on how to complete that but you could layer the ruffles around the edge of this if you want layers right on top of eachother.
how do you cover the raw edges in the back of the quilt when sewing the the puffs together? The fabric is lovely.
The backing is sewn to the quilt when the ruffles are added (see free download for ruffle instructions and how to add backing). The dimensions of the backing will depend on the number of blocks you choose to include in your project. Measure the height and width of the quilt after all blocks have been sewn together to find the dimensions of the backing! Hopefully that helps clear it up :)

Merci
Thank you for watching! - Morgan
Jennifer, supper cute and i love all of your ideas. I'm so trying this. Unrelated question... what are the balls in the rack behind you? Are thise pompoms? Thanks for making everything look easy and easy instructions!
Those are just decorative balls that we found and our local craft store :) Thank you so much for watching!
Very pretty! Just wondering: After the backing and ruffle are added, is the center field ever quilted somehow to keep the front and back from separating?
Thank you so much! Once everything is added there shouldn't have to be any extra quilting needed as each bubble is sewn closed. ~Leah🙃
Hi Jennifer, what are those sweet pink and white balls in the background of this video? Is it something you made? I Love Love Love your videos! Thanks so much for all your wonderful ideas and helpful hints.
Thank you so much for watching our videos! We appreciate you! Those are Hydrangea Blossom balls and we purchased them from a craft store pre-made. They're available online too! - Morgan
Call me a dummy but i still dont get how to put the ruffle on. Can u do another video showing exactly how? And you're not specific about which way the fabric is facing when making the blocks. Like if i take the 5 in piece on top with the right side facing out and the 4.5 in piece on the bottom with the right side facing out wouldnt that automatically make a back to the quilt? So then is there a need for a back? I need help and seeing it would really help. Nothing about the back is explained in this video but i love the quilt!
The information about the backing can be found in the description box below the video :) You are correct, the fabrics are both facing out when the blocks are assembled, which creates seams on the back. The backing is sewn to the quilt when the ruffles are added (see free download for ruffle instructions and how to add backing). The dimensions of the backing will depend on the number of blocks you choose to include in your project. Measure the height and width of the quilt after all blocks have been sewn together to find the dimensions of the backing!

such a fun bubble quilt!! Tell me how to secure the top to the backing. I don't mean the binding.

I've seen several videos on how to make the puffs but I still struggle with finishing this type of quilt (backing). Any advice?
Hello! The way Jen put these together was to make a pocket out of the squares, then stuffed and sewed it shut. Once she had enough made, she sewed the bubbles together which creates the front and the back. When all those bubbles are sewn together, the only thing left is the ruffle on the edges! ~Leah
I went through several comments in hopes of finding my answers to: How many charm packs would I need to make a queen quilt? Also, do you sell the white 4 inch backings in charm packs. Appreciate your help. I want to make my daughter one for her bed.
An average queen size quilt is 86"x93" so you would need APPROXIMATELY 19 squares across and 21 squares down to achieve that width. This would be 399 squares so 10 packs will definitely give you enough squares with some to spare! We do not sell the 4" backings in charm packs since those only measure 5"x5". It would be best to buy a larger pieces of fabric and cut it down to 4" squares. Let me know if you need any additional information :)
Thank you so much with such prompt response, appreciate that.
As the backs of the puffs are never seen (covered by backing), could one use scraps for the 4 1/2 inch puff-backs? Or might they show through the backing fabric?
You can do that! You would want to consider that when choosing your backing fabric. Maybe go for a darker backing or be sure to add some interfacing or extra batting to help hide the scraps. - Morgan
Great tutorial, thank you. I've always wondered how they were made. I went to download the ruffle instructions, but they don't seem to be on your website anymore. Is there any chance they could be popped up again, please. Thank you :)
Thank you! The instructions are on the free downloads page under Bubble Quilt Ruffle. Merry Christmas! 🎄~Leah
that's exactly what I thought! does your bubble quilt show the seams on back?
+Betty Ochoa there is the option to add backing in order to cover any exposed seams! The backing is sewn to the quilt when the ruffles are added (see free download for ruffle instructions). The dimensions of the backing will depend on the number of blocks you choose to include in your project. Measure the height and width of the quilt after all blocks have been sewn together to find the dimensions of the backing!
when stitching the blocks together, can the edges be serged? then their is no need for a backing? just wondering
Yes I have seen these put together with a serger. That would definitely speed up the process and it would be sooo secure! Thanks for a great suggestion! :) XO, Jen
Hola... muy Lindo trabajo, me gustaría saber las medidas de los cuadrados tanto el grande como del pequeño? gracias!
¡Gracias por ver! Las plazas más grandes son 5 pulgadas y los cuadrados más pequeños son de 4 pulgadas.
Just discovered this video and am in love! One question - after attaching the ruffle and backing Nd Tuen it out, do you quilt/stitch between the blocks?
Hi Debbie! We did not stitch between the blocks, but you certainly could! The quilt may be bulky under the regular sewing machine foot, but could still be done. Thank you for watching! - Sophie
this quilt is just beautiful, I want to make one! just a quick question.. the sparkle set - what size of quilt would it make? I want to make one for a double bed so how many packs would I need? thanks x
For our quilt one FQ set made the crib sized puff quilt, which is 20” x 28” quilt (without the ruffle). Each puff is about 3.5” once it is stuffed and the one we did was 6 x 8 square puffs. Hopefully that is enough information for you to be able to see what you'd need for a double bed :) Thanks for watching!
yes that's great thankyou
What machine are you using? Is it smaller and good as class machine or traveling?
Thank you for great video.
Thank you for watching! This should work with any type of sewing machine. Happy Holidays! ❄~Leah
making a small quilt for my grandbaby what do suggest for a good quality fill (I've never used it before) and how much do I need a rough guess would be great because I have no clue
This will be such a fun quilt for your grand baby! Three good quality fill brands are Poly-fil, Mountain Mist, and Morning Glory. 16 oz is a rough guess of how much fill you will need, but it all depends what size of quilt you want to make!
Beautiful! But can you please show how the back looks..
Thank you for that feedback! We'll make sure to show the back on future videos! - Morgan
is it possible to over stuff the puffs?? I made all the squares and am having a difficult time sewing them all together! I can't squish them enough to fit in my sewing machine. I guess I have to go back and unstuff them again.....haha!
They may be overstuffed if you are having difficulty pushing them through your machine. Other than that, there is not a specific amount to stuff your puffs!
I also have the same sewing machine
That's awesome! We love this trusty machine!
does this quilt stand up to machine washing? does it clump up and lose it's loft?
It should hold up well if you choose high-quality batting (be sure to make sure the batting is machine washable). - Morgan
Fabulous video, and beautiful fabric....BUT am I missing something here. Where are the instructions for the backing??? I've downloaded how to do the ruffle, but there are NO instructions for the backing??? Can some one possibly help??? Thanks very much
So happy you've downloaded the instructions for the ruffle- step nine of the ruffle instructions explains how to attach the backing to your quilt. The backing will have the same dimensions as the quilt top :)
How many puff do you need to make a king size quilt.
That is a tough question! That really depends on what size the king mattress is and how big you would like the bubble quilt to be. ~Leah🙃
hi, I totally love this. but how do you finish the back?
+Natalie Richardson Great question! Here are the instructions: The backing is sewn to the quilt when the ruffles are added (see free download for ruffle instructions). The dimensions of the backing will depend on the number of blocks you choose to include in your project. Measure the height and width of the quilt after all blocks have been sewn together to find the dimensions of the backing!
HI! I have searched your website for a half hour, am unable to find how to put on backing and ruffle. There is no free downloads file that I can find. Please help!
Hello Sherry! Here is the link to the free download! www.shabbyfabrics.com/Assets/Downloads/BubbleQuilt_forDownload.pdf
Let me know if you have any other questions! I am always ready to help! ~Leah🙃
How do you add the backing to this quilt? Do you sew "in the ditch" like other quilts? Or is the backing of the puff the backing you see?
You absolutely can stitch in the ditch or your can add buttons and the corners of your blocks or use a couple of stitches to tack the corners in place and secure the front to the backing. It's up to you :)
Hola Jennifer me gusto mucho lo que hiciste...porfa dame las medidas de los 2 cuadros...si no es mucha la molestia soy aprendiz
El tejido superior es un cuadrado de 5 pulgadas y el tejido inferior es de 4,5 pulgadas cuadradas. Aquí está un acoplamiento a cómo terminar el edredón: www.shabbyfabrics.com/Assets/Downloads/BubbleQuilt_forDownload.pdf
Instead of making a separate backing, would it work to just substitute a cute square of flannel for the muslin when making the individual puffs?
Hi Glennie! Since you make each bubble and then sew them together, you can substitute flannel or muslin for the backing! Stay safe and happy sewing! ~Leah
@@ShabbyFabrics Thanks so much!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! - Morgan
Hi there, Awesome video,
Just wondering what happens to the back for an amateur biscuit quilt sewer?
Is there backing?

+Icao Tiseli great questions! Backing can be added pretty easily in order to cover any exposed seams!

Measure the height and width of the quilt after all blocks have been sewn together to find the dimensions of the backing!
