Easy Scrappy Patchwork Quilts with Fusible Watercolor Grid

- Is there an easy way to sew a scrappy quilt? YES! There is!!
After making many, many pojects with the Boxed Bag Template, I have LOTS of fabric squares piled up! Of course, these would make a perfect scrappy quilt... so, I'm using Fusible Watercolor Grid to make it easy on myself!

I hang it off the edge of my ironing board and press all seams in one direction, move the next row up, and press the seams in the other direction. Nothing gets in the way of your iron because it is hanging down away from the row you are ironing. I see no need to spin the seams on these small pieces. I just make bags with mine, but it would depend on what you are shooting for.
Also, I made my own 2.5 grid on poster board that I clip a piece of light interfacing on top of. I lay out my squares as I wish and can iron right on top of that poster board that I have laid on my ironing board. Thank you for a great video!
After 25years of quilting I finally started a postage stamp quilt for me and my husband. NOW I find your brilliant grid. Oh well mine won't be as perfect as yours!
I have never thought of doing this before, and I’ve been a quilter for over 40 years! Great idea sweetheart and thank you! 🎉❤
Yay!! I love that I was able to share something new with you. ❤️
Super cute! It would be really cute to use for a zipper pouch or bag; the little bit of interfacing would add some structure. Also, you just taught me that my Oliso iron can stand up!😂
Yes, it would make a cute bag!! And I'm do glad to teach you new tricks about your iron! 🥰
Oooo great idea may need to do that!
Right?? Me too! ❤️
I really like how it came together and the finished block! Thanks for the ideas❤
My pleasure!! ❤️
Omg just found you and yes I surely did sub. That was truly a bomb square! I love love love it!!! Thx for sharing. ❤
So glad you found me! 🥰🥰🥰
I have just now seen your tutorial and this is an amazing idea. I never thought of putting fusible on the back and sewing them together. I have been quilting for many years and have never thought of this method. Great idea!!!
Thanks! I can't take credit for the idea... but I'm glad the video was helpful. ❤️
It seems like a smaller iron might be easier to use when pressing the individual seam allowances.
Probably! I just didn't have it out at the time...
Thank you so much for sharing this. I wasn't aware of this product. I hope that it comes in other grid sizes as well! Great tutorial and I did just subscribe to see more of your tutorials❣️
It does come in other grid sizes. ❤️
Great idea!! So much easier when it cones to seams! Thank You!
Yes! An easy way to manage all the seams! ❤️
The hardest part looks like the ironing nice idea thanks
You have such great ideas!!!!
Oh, thanks! I didn't invent this technique, but it is a fun one to share! 🥰
I just finished a watercolor kit, SEW COOL!
Cute idea. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
Happy to! 🥰
Thanks for the great new ideas!
My pleasure!! 🥰
This would be a good reason to have one of those little headed, long handled irons. I have seen them used in sewing tutorials, but have never priced them.
Oh, maybe! I might have one here somewhere??
This is a fantastic idea. I never would’ve thought of it. I’m glad you showed.
I've seen this a few days ago. Someone used them for making pixel art quilts. I think that is a great idea 😊
Yes!! So fun for pixel quilts! 😍
This is great! I see my next granddaughter sewing room day be very successful. Thanks so much. I just ordered my bosal. Wish you had an affiliate link.
ISpy mat would adorable
Oh, it would be!! 🥰
Hi. Awesome 👌 . Thanks 😊.
Wow great idea!
Beautiful work thanks....
Thank you! ❤️
@Angela Pingel created this technique years ago.
This technique has been around for at least 20 years, so I'm not sure who invented it ... it certainly wasn't me! There are lots of companies with fusible grid products available.
Oh and I just adore that sparkly beauty behind you😳😳😳😳has my attention lol
Thanks!! That is my blinged-out Baby Lock machine! 🥰
Did you do that I love the machine
Many thanks for your tutorial. This seems a perfect method for making a quilt with a material less stable than cotton such as silky and slippery fabrics. Am I right?
You could, but make sure they can stand up to the heat of the iron.
This looks cool. I'm wondering if it's actually faster than just regular piecing?
It probably depends on the quilter? And also how much they care about accuracy... lining up those seams is pretty time consuming.
Different techniques have different benefits - faster, more accurate, easier, more convenient... lots of reasons to consider. 🥰
Why can’t you press the seams open?
You totally can. I just like side pressing.
To press open, you just need pointy scissors to cut the interfacing along the seam so that it can be pressed open.
Hi Carolina, What foot do you use on your Baby Lock to get a quarter inch seam? Thank you!
I have a couple. Currently I'm loving the quarter inch foot with guide. 🥰
Would pressing left to right make pressing easier? I'm new to quitting and eager to try this.
Maybe? But you would end up with bulkier seams because you could not spin the seams. Another option, instead of clipping each seam allowance, is to cut the seam allowance open and press the seams open rather than to the side.
I have re-threaded my machine 2x, wrap the thread, start running the machine and yet it doesn't catch on the bobbin. Foot down on the pedal and the bobbin just sits perfectly still. I am using a dark thread for contrast & it does not load on the bobbin. What is wrong?
If it isn't catching the bobbin thread, I'd check these things:
1. Is the bobbin loaded correctly?
2. Can the thread spool off the bobbin freely (not tangled or stuck)?
If yes to both, load the bobbin with a longer "tail" of thread. Then hand turn the fly wheel for one full cycle of the machine. That should bring the top thread down, around the bobbin, and catch the bobbin thread.
Then pull on the top thread to bring the bobbin thread up.
Now you've pre-caught that bobbin thread, and it should continue to catch it.
Depending on the kind of machine you have, you may need to always bring your bobbin thread up. My machines are newer top-load bobbins, so this isn't something I need to do... but for older front-loading bobbins, you might need to do this each time you load the bobbin.
Also, make sure you don't cut your thread tails too short after a seam, or use a leader/ender piece to keep the thread up.
Do you know if there are 2.5in square fusible bosal? I have tons of those Moda Candies- and I am not going to square them all down- but they would make such a cute, quick, scrappy patchwork quilt!
I did a Google search for "2.5" Bosal Grid" and some came up... so, yes, it looks like there is! 🥰
It just now dawned on me. The aunt and uncle we lived with a majority of our lives had the last name "Moore".
I married into the last name, but it is a fun one! 🥰
Always wondered how this worked. Thanks for a very easy and thorough tutorial. Does the interfacing come in a 21/2” grid" or other sizes? I have a ton of quilt binding pieces that are 21/2”. I would like to try this method, it looks like fun.
I was wondering the same thing. I have some scraps from Jelly Rolls and leftover charm packs. Hmmm
Where can I get that bosal interfacing?
It might be easier with those tiny rod irons
Rather toss them
bosal: BOW ZAL
Thanks! I met the owner of the company... You'd think I'd know these things! 😆
LOLOLOLOL

AND tell the Quilters about your ruler
I love telling folks about the fun projects and tools I'm working on. 🥰
Could you press the seams open instead? Would certainly make pressing easier.
Yes, you just cut down the middle of each seam.
