About the host
-----------------------------
Meet our very own Midnight Quilter, designer Angela Walters - known for serious skills and quilter-ly quirks. Each week she brings you her new “quilt of the hour”, sharing the scoop on how she tackles perfectly-pieced points or fab free-motion.
Thank you Angela! You are one of a few on iTunes who show us the actual quilting and then back it up with your free design sheets. You’re giving us the help we need to improve.
I Am obsessed with your channel and I have never even made any type of quilt. I just hope someday I will have all this quilting knowledge and start making them with no problem....lol. i have to say I like the solid backs more than the piece back. Just so glad I found your channel! thank you
Annette
I am so glad i found the book with the pattern! It is in my bucket list
What a star 😍😍 . If your quilt needs a new home I’d gladly love and treasure it😍😍😍Angela
I love pieced backs. It's like a happy surprise when you turn it over.
I love making pieced backs , especially with the leftovers. Great way to clean up the stash.
Love the colors..your quilts are beautiful
I've never done a quilt but I find your quilting videos so relaxing and your excitement really makes me smile. Also, although a little unrelated, I love how you say "nice" or "beautiful" or "fantastic" when you finish a step. I'm not a quilter (..yet! I might soon become one though!) but I'm a pretty crafty person, and your optimism and non-perfectionism reminds me to get excited about finishing little steps, and appreciating the things that go well instead of stressing about the things that don't turn out perfect. Thanks for the inspiration I get to take from there videos! Lots of love ♡
I just love how stunningly beautiful, yet occasionally boldly imperfect, your quilts are. It's a reminder to all of us to have fun and not take our piecing so seriously. As a quilter friend once told me, "You should only judge a quilt from the back of a galloping horse!" Thank you for providing so much joyful and uninhibited inspiration to create, Angela :)
I love your tips, especially the one with the correct foot.
i love pieced backs, always make the back look as nice as front, ex-specially if the person receiving it is quilt worthy. BY the way Thank You Angela , you are an inspiration.
I use flat sheets. They’re finished already, endless variety and sometimes I even fold over the top to create an “additional” top border (about five inches with doubled batting) that’ll make a bed look already made 😘. It’s a bold move that really works. Love your show, Angela! 👆🏼
So nice!!
I have done both and love your show. Keep teaching
OMG. Stunning pattern
Thanks Angela for your smile, energy and sharing your talent. Love your videos. Love your quilts!
I agree
By the time I get the top finished I don’t want to piece the back yet. But I have pieced some and loved the way they turned out. Made a sail boat quilt for youngest grandson and on the back made a large boat and framed it. Turned out wonderful. Thanks for this tutorial. Love ❤️ the quilt
Pieced!!! My favorite- Love your show!!
I like solid backs for quick and easy. I'm so happy they make wide backing fabric in lots of colors and patterns.
Love this video!!! Pieced back for sure!
I have never done a pieced backing but would like to try it! This is such a beautiful quilt. If I ever tried this one I know the seam ripper and I would be best friends by the end of it!!
The Cheeto was priceless. 😁
I love pieced backs.
I am an avid watcher of your tutorials! I'm just starting to quilt some of my quilts!! Scarry! You make it look easy so I'll try it. I have learned lots from all of your shows. I also have loved making a pieced back which makes it so much more interesting!
Thanks for all your UA-cams.
I took a free motion quilting class & we used 3 layers or hoid quality paper towels to practice on.
Just keep practicing.
Thanks for your free diagram. Very nice pattern. best regards
I love pieced backing. Another great video!
Quilt back is really pretty. The cool blues and greens add a lot to the reds.
Paisley is my favorite too! So fun and adds so much dimension!
OMG! the way you sew these motifs on the quilt is freaking awesome!
Absolutely gorgeous - your machine quilting has inspired me to make this quilt and do this pattern by hand - it will be beautiful - thank you!
I like the pieced backing. I’m making my first quilt and i think i will use it for my backing.
Pieced backs are so much fun to create.
I like solid backs, but you might convince me to try pieced ones again using your method! I like how scrappy this quilt looks using these beautiful fabrics. I love the border quilting. Thanks for all your quilty inspiration!
Beautiful!
I loved pieced backed quilts!
Absolutely wonderful!!!! Thank u so much!!!
Pieced backing!!! Makes both sides interesting. Uses up some of the leftovers from that particular fabric collection. Helps make up space when you may not have enough fabric for the backing.
Lol mid night quilt show with the sunshine...i love your videos and helping me learn to fmq...😎😎😎
I love that you spent more time teaching how to quilt and your thought process that goes into it. I think that will help me a lot. LOVE your show my grandson is a fan too. We always have our quilting juice (Dr. Pepper) Thanks for all you do.
I pieced the back of my son's airplane quilt. I used a map fabric as the center and had a grunge split on each side. Loved how it came out!!
I really love pieced backs. It makes the quilt reversible! Great tutorial as usual, love the ombre effect.
That's pretty I can stay up passed Midnight watching you, you are so good, love your work and you make it so fun and funny.
I make pieced backs on 90% of my quilts!! Love them...2 quilts in one!
This is lovely! And I’m a pieced back kind of girl. Doing so much work for the quilt tops, it seems silly to me not to put in some extra work on the back. I just do more minimalistic backs.
I love this quilt and all your videos. Sometimes I do pieced backs and sometimes I don"t. It depends on the stash.
You did a great job! That looks pretty hard. I love flannel backs, preferably all one fabric.
This design is awesome....
Beautiful block Angela. As always I love your video.
Love piecing the back...kinda like getting 2 quilts in 1!!
I love this quilt! I'm piecing the bigger star squares now. This is a tough quilt with a lot of pieces.
What a gorgeous quilt! ❤️
Pieced and scrappy
I would like to see the finished product at the beginning of the video to see where we are headed. LOVE your show!
Such a pretty quilt, I have liked every quilt you make from ombre fabric. Guess I'll have to break down a purchase some (even tho i have two rooms full of fabric). Pieced vs whole backs...... depends on the quilt !
Very pretty quilt!♥️
I think it depends on the quilt whether it gets a pieced back or a solid back. I've done both and I think looking at the pieced backs make me smile more than the solid ones.
I've only done solid backs (or large strips sewn together to make them wide enough)sometimes out of sheer laziness, but mostly just wanting to get done and get to the next project. I've watched all your videos and love 'em, but honestly I still get sweaty palms seeing a wine glass on a sewing table. I'd accidentally knock that sucker over in a heartbeat. :)
I loved pieced backs. ☺️
I like a backing with one fabric. I only use pieced if I am desperate. The quilt pattern is pretty 😀
Great quilting, as usual, Angela. I like the ease of the wide backings (but love the look of the pieced backs, especially modern ones. It's like getting two quilts in one). ~Diana from Toronto
Hi, to piece or not to piece....hmmm. It depends on the style and “feel” of the quilt. A scrap quilt with a pieced back is great! I’ve used leftover design blocks on the back of a modern quilt, too. Solid backings work well on lap or baby quilts. It all depends on the quilt, for me anyway!
Love your show! Thank you!
Love your t-shirt!
I have never done a pieced back. I'm going to have to try it on my next quilt!
Thanks for a great quilting design. Think I will use it on my next quilt. Also liked the pieced backing video. Always a pleasure to watch.
I love this quilt design, as well as the quilting! So many other quilts are on my bucket list, but I must squeeze this one in. I tend to use pieced backs. I find beautiful fabrics on sale that I think would be fabulous as backings and I buy 5-8 yards. But, I love using the wider width backings when I can find a good deal and a great print. Just one less seam to sew.
I have done both. Although a non-pieced backing is quicker and easier, I love the whole new dimension a pieced backing adds to the quilt. This quilt you made is gorgeous!
I love all backs especially ones you have quilted. Your great at anything you attempt.
I like both! The one pieced back that I have done is so pretty. I almost like it more than the top. But not quite. Solid backs go together much quicker though, and sometimes I just want to get the quilt done.
Pieced back for sure! Dips into my stash so I can buy more! 😘
Fabulous quilt! I try and do pieced backs on all my quilts!
I love pieced backings! I use the seams to add in some selvedges with the fabric name and maker on them, plus I’ll add the color charts on the selvedge if it’s cute- like Tula Pink’s.
Definitely pieced backs for me. One of my favorites was actually an accident, where a quilt block did not come out exactly the way I wanted. So, I decided to use it on the back. The result was beautiful.
I like the piece backings. I’ve finished quilts that way, adds character to the quilt! 😁
I love pieced backings!! It makes a "normal" quilt a little more versatile (as you can flip it over). I know it takes a little more time, but I don't mind. It also helps get rid of fabric you want to get rid of! I hate buying 6-7 yards of fabric just for a backing... it seems like a huge waste. I've started buying vintage sheets to use for backings, and that helps defer cost, too. Loved this twinkly quilt, Angela! No one cares about those points when your quilting looks as fantastic as it does. I'm definitely going to take that free class on backings.
You are so talented as always and thank you so much! I always learn new things!
Love this Quilt, I like pieced backs it let’s you be creative using your Stash ❤️😃
Gorgeous. Love your relaxed attitude to perfection. I've never pieced the back, but I sure like the way your back turned out. Very nice!
I really love a pieced back, but almost always shoot for a wide back because by that point I’m ready to get it quilted! 👍
ALWAYS piece my backs to use up ALL the fabrics... it's my pet project this year! GB
I’ve probably used this feather meander more than any other design! Thanks for such an awesome inspirational tutorial! Gotta love the ombré fabrics!!! They are so visually appealing.
I love pieced backs. I like reflecting the front on the back. Sometimes if my back turns out to be quite elaborate, I convert it into a second top!
I really like pieced backing. It gives you a chance to use up left over scraps (and a reason to buy new fabric)
Beautiful! Love the colors and the quilting!
I like a pieced back - especially to use up any "extra" blocks I might have made!
I prefer a solid back. A pieces back is like having two quilts in one when you could have two whole quilts 🤔🤔🤔 I loved that extra video, though! I can’t get enough of the midnight quilt show!! ❤️
I mostly do solid backing but I love the pieced backings.
Wow! It is stunningly beautiful! :-) As far as what my preference is between pieced or solid backings, well it depends on the quilt and the available fabrics for the piecing, really. I cannot make a generalization. Just gotta find the right combination!
Thank you Angela for another great video. I love the backing. Never try it. I will now.
I like them both depends on what I'm quiltinq, and the fabric I have on hand!
I like the solid back because you don’t have to worry if the piecing is straight or not and also no seam to have to go over. The top has enough seems to fight.
Omg this is beautiful one of my favorites
Always pieced backings! :) I like to do a little something that resembles the top, but slightly different. Sometimes I end up liking the backs more! I always use a tiny swatch of each fabric in the binding too, as a fun little accent.
I usually have pieced backs unless I remember to buy the larger one piece backing. Love your videos. Thanks
Pieced backing for sure! Any extra fabrics left over can be incorporated. Sometimes my backs are nicer than the fronts, what a bonus to have a two sided quilt!
I agree totally
I loved the one pieced back I've made!
I always make a pieced back, so the quilt essentially has two fronts...many times I choose vibrant colors for one side and subtle colors for the other side, for two entirely different looks. As far as keeping it straight for quilting, I spray baste and pin, and sew/baste one side to the batting before adding the other side. It works great!
What a beautiful quilt! I prefer a solid back but have used pieced backs on baby quilts and wall hangings.
Hermoso trabajo Felicitaciones Angela
Angela another great video, what a cool pattern!
Beautiful, I'd love to have that!
Love This One!
