Let me tell you this: double layered gauze is not just for babies. I made myself a tank dress out of it. Nothing wrong with self-swaddling!
I love love love this! YESS!
So simply but lovely. Thank you ❤️ I’m enjoying your channel. Sometimes we just need a project that’s easy but fun.
So true! You are so welcome! Thank YOU for your kind words. ❤️
Your free motion quilted ho ho ho is great. Thanks for tutorial!
Thank you! I am practicing and practicing and practicing. LOL! Each time I get a little better. ❤️
❤Love it! Simple fast and easy… Sometimes that’s all you need! loving that double gauze on the back of that baby quilt!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! That gauze is sooooo soft! I want to use it on a bigger on for me. Lol!
Great idea! This would be great for backing and for charity quilts, too.
I'm impressed that you pronounce sewing terms carefully.
Just remember:
Salvage > salvation > saving items from the landfill
Selvage > self edge > the finished edge of fabric made when the weaving turns back on itSELF to go the other way.
Thank you for noting this distinction: "sel-vij" or "sel-vijd" are accepted pronunciations.
I am just glad you knew what i was saying. 😀 I have a degree in linguistics and know how tricky dialects can be, especially for others.
@@SewtheDistance I understand you just fine!
Hey Lady, I wanted to let you know I have made 4 Christmas Quilts like this! Love the Quick Pattern! I grew it a little with a few more random pieces for length & threw a 5 in boarder around it. This pattern makes great quick Christmas gifts! I just wanted to pop in and thank you!
Wow! That is amazing! I love it and feel honored to have been a part of this! Thank you so much for sharing! Amazing! ❤️❤️❤️
Great quilt for a quickie one. You could add some Christmas applique to this quilt.
That would be beautiful! ❤️
I’ll bet this quilt would look terrific with borders.
Oh! Yes! I am sure! I can see a skinny border paired with a wider outer border. Great idea!
@@SewtheDistance just exactly what I was thinking!😊
Just had to let you know I GOT MY MISSOURI CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN BOX TODAY!!!!! Oct 15th. It’s a beautiful box!! I can’t wait to start opening gifts when it starts. Yaaaaa
WHAT? Oh my goodness! I hope mine come soon. Want to know a secret? I ordered THREE! Be ready for some giveaways! ❤️
Great idea for when, on occasion I have lost my mojo and also no binding… fabulous. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for much for watching! Glad it is helpful! ❤️
Thank you. Good idea to start with the grandkids.
You are so welcome! This is perfect for grandkids! ❤️
Thank you!! Excited to do this to help pull me out of the muck!😂
Yay! I love an easy project like this when I can't seem to get out of my own way in my sewing room. So happy this helps! ❤️
Love these!!! They would make great charity quilts too!!! Thank you so much!!!
Yes! Great idea! So much fun to make, too! ❤️
You are saying it correctly. You ROCK
Thank you! I get messages all the time with viewers complaining about the way it say it. I’ve been working on it. Lol!
@@SewtheDistance some folks are just...... you know.
@@anitagreen7425 Yep! 🤣
Will keep this one in mind.
Glad it is helpful!!❤️
You say “selvedge” the same way I do! Lol!!!
It must be a Pennsylvania thing! Lol! I’ll let you know if I get any emails complaining about the way we say it! 🤣
I really like this! After watching several of your videos since Quiltmas challenge, you have yourself a new subscriber. Thank you for sharing your sewing methods with us.
OH thank you! I am so happy you love my content! You are so welcome! ❤️❤️❤️
Love the Christmas One !
Thank you! ❤️ Funny thing--I put it on my couch at Christmastime and our dog, Daisy, LOVED it! Guess what is still on the couch? I did turn it over so the gray backing is showing and the Christmas fabric is hidden. 😂 It has been washed at least two dozen times since Christmas and is holding up beautifully!
Great idea 👍 I’ve just finished a quilt top similar to this but using a variety of fabrics as the random width strips. Love it 🥰 👏👏🇬🇧
Thank you! It’s a fun way to make a quick quilt. ❤️
Oh that's a fun idea. Good way to use up some yardage I have!
Oh I am going to make several of these for Christmas gifts! Thank you. I love Tracy too!
YAY! I am so glad you love it and are making some! ❤️
Very nice quilt and so fast mi really like it thank you so much ❤greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
So happy you like it! They are so much fun to make. Quick and easy!
Looks good Kris fast and easy ❤️
Thanks, Donna! So much fun to make!
Versatile as well. I need to practice my free motion quilting too. Thanks so much.
Awesome job thank for sharing. I pray you’re having a blessed weekend God bless you and your family.
Thank you! You too!
Great video!
Thank you, Fallon!
Love this idea! 💕
Thank you! ❤️
love this 😀❤
Thank you! ❤️
Perfect for a baby quilt!
Isn't it? You could make several in just a few hours. ❤️
So cool! Now try this beauty (I've made 3 so far, all different layer cake choices)!! 💙💚💜 Abigail, from T he middle of beautiful New Hampshire
Thank you! LOVE New Hampshire! Beautiful, indeed! Our youngest son lives in Vermont. Also a beautiful area!
Double layered cotton gauze. The material is perfect by itself for baby swaddles. TFS.
Isn’t it? It’s a wonderful fabric. ❤️
Great looking quick quilt top ❤
Thank you! So happy you enjoyed it!
Beautiful and so quick!
Thank you! So glad you like it! ❤️
That would be great for a quilt backing as well!! Cool idea, thank you for sharing! And don't worry about your accent, we knew what you were talking about -- or at least, some of us...?! LOL 🤣😆!
LOL! Thank you! I think that is what is the most important part that many miss! If you know what I am saying, I am communicating just fine. 😂 Thank you so much!
Yes I like that idea too, great backing. 😁
Thanks Kris❤️
You are very welcome! ❤️
This pattern is so fast and your quilts are so nice.,especially the baby quilt. Thank you so much.
You’re welcome 😊 Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this tutorial, I have a piles of Halloween fabrics, & a bunch of flower/butterflies fabrics. I know they were waiting for this!
You are welcome! I may have make one in Halloween fabrics. I love that idea! Thank you!
Love this! Hey, a while ago, I issued myself a challenge - I found some fabric for practically nothing per yard - like 50 cents. Problem was- it was ugly fabric! But that was not going to deter me - I bought it anyway, and over time, accented it with pieces from my stash and yes, even bought a yard or two as accents - ended up making a fabulous quilt top and loved the drama of it. Made a full size top for something like 9 dollars. Loved that
Wow! LOVE THIS! What a wonderful idea and a great price! Thank you for sharing this!
Adorable
Thank you so much! ❤️
Loved the fast quilt top!!!! I am so excited, because of you I ordered the Missouri star Christmas BOX!!!!!! I loved watching you every morning opening up a gift. SOOOO, this year I will be watching you too as we open our gifts together!!! Yaaaaa love your videos. I pray your mom is doing well!!!!
Awww! Thank you! I will be doing it again! Mom is doing great! She just got a clean scan. She goes again in April. ❤️
Thanks so much for this idea! When we start getting near the holidays, I never have as many quilts done as I intended too!
This pattern/method will be perfect to get me caught up a bit. I’m seeing a fall, maybe Halloween quilt and a quick Christmas quilt in my immediate future. Yours are lovely!
This is perfect! They are easy and fun. You can take a Saturday and make a bunch. Thank you so much!
The way you've laid out the stripes reminds me of the old "Pendleton Wool" blankets that my Grandmother had. They were so warm and cuddly... so double knit gauze it is! Blessings to y'all.
YES! I know exactly what you are talking about! ❤️ Thank you for sharing!
You pronounce selvedges same way I do. I live in upstate NY.
I am so glad I am not the only one! ❤️
Good idea for some appliqué pieces over top or as a backing for a quilt😀thanks
I love these ideas! Both would be perfect!
Cute idea, I have to try that one. I get 1 yard cuts in my monthly box.🤔
Perfect! Love it!
Love Love LOVE this simple to make quilts! Thanks for the tutorial. Love your channel!
Selvage or Salvege…..doesn’t matter how you say or we all know what your talking about girl! Say it the way you say it and don’t worry about what other people say. You do it your way! 😁❤️
Yes! Thank you so much! So happy you enjoyed this! ❤️
This is an awesome idea. I think it would be pretty cool to slice the rows randomly through the middle, flip one side top to bottom and sew it back together just to add another detail. I love the double gauze on the back. Thanks. I just hit subscribe.
Welcome! Thank you so much! Slicing it would be amazing, too! Great idea!
Love it. Have totally lost my SewJo as I recover from a bad bout of COVID-19, this is perfect for a top for me to use to practise using my new quilt frame. Thank you fo sharing.
Oh wow! I hope you are feeling better! I have managed to avoid getting it so far, but I am sure it is just a matter of time. Glad this will help you get back to sewing and playing with your new frame! That is so exciting! ❤️
What a great idea. It's a very versatile quilt pattern. It dresses up very nicely with however you wish to quilt it or bind or not, sashing etc. I loved your hohoho on the Christmas quilt. Very nice.
Thank you! I really is a great quilt, if I do say so myself. 😀 I still have to respond to your email. 😬 I will! I promise!
@@SewtheDistance No rush Kris, you know my track reccord! I'm off to a sewing retreat in Boonah soon so will send you some photos of what's sewing....
I love this, Kris!! So into fast and easy these days - and this would work for anything! Thank you!!♥️
Yay! Yes! It’s so versatile and easy. I have a few more planned! Lol! And that double gauze-it makes the quilt so cozy. I think I’m finishing this blue one with double gauze.
@@SewtheDistance Oh nice!! I haven't tried that yet - but need to. Didn't you do a tutorial on that? I'm sorry - it's already that crazy time of year!! Thanks so much!
@@susanonealsmith8434 I didn’t yet, but Tracy from the Sewing Channel has. ❤️
@@SewtheDistance Okay, thank you!! I'll watch her video!:)
@@susanonealsmith8434 She’s awesome. You won’t be disappointed!
That was neat
So happy you like it! ❤️❤️❤️
I do Project Linus quilts and this will be perfect
YES! I love this! Perfect for Project Linus!
I have just come across your tutorials and love them. You are so talented! I was wondering if you had a tutorial on how to make your little pin cushion/clip cushion that you use? It looks so handy. ❤😊
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much! I have so many pin cushions-lol! I think the one you are referring to is the pattern from Missouri Star Quilt Company’s Advent box. We got that pattern and fabric two years ago, I think. Here’s the pattern: www.missouriquiltco.com/products/perfectly-pieced-pincushion-and-clip-strip-pattern-by-missouri-star?slv_rt=v1%7E1h25v5aq3%7Ead7ccfbb-cf79-407e-a8bf-d1af8660d24a%7E764e4117-b3db-4217-a663-78441cbd9465%7E-drq85
Let me know if it a different one that you are referring to. I hope this helps.
That is it! Thank you so much for getting back to me. 😊
Yay! So happy it is the one! It is a fun project to make!
It’s a Pennsylvania thing! I moved to Utah for a year and I got corrected all the time lol
I guess it is! I am still getting grief about it. 🤣 Here I thought I addressed it. I have a degree in linguistics, and I know dialects are hard for others to understand, but still, it is tricky to navigate when people want to correct you. ❤️
@@SewtheDistance You should here how I say sauerkraut 🤣
Thank you for the tutorial. This is a great quilt for donation quilts too. Do you ever use your Juki? I just got a Juki and love it!!!!
You are so welcome! I love my Juki! I use it every single day. I have both my Janome and Juki set up and go between them all the time. So glad you love yours, too!
As long as you don't say "acrossed" instead of "across" it's all good!
I occasionally say that, too. I also say worsh for wash and a few others. Dialects are interesting, aren't they? It is a good think we can still understand each other. ❤️
Hi and thank you for this tutorial. This is the first I have watched. I'm a beginner quilter. What did you mean by an envelope turn?
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!
Great question. I probably should have explained that a bit more. With an envelope turn, you don't add binding. Here are the steps: 1. Lay batting down on a floor or table big enough to accommodate it 2. lay the quilt top face up on top of the batting 3. lay the backing with the pretty side down on top of the quilt top (with pretty sides facing each other) 4. pin and sew around the edges of the three layered pieces, leaving about a 6" opening to turn 5. turn the quilt 6. press and quilt the quilt as desired, including sewing up the hole used for turning.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you need clarification on anything. ❤️
Thanks for this tutorial. It's a perfect quilt for an upcoming charity project. How big is the quilt?
Yay! I am so happy you love it! As for the measurement, it really depends on how many strips you cut. If you follow my measurements, the quilt will be around 42" x 47." Hope this helps!
You’re ambidextrous.
Yes, I am. 😎
Thanks for sharing. Please do a tutorial using the LIGHTNING quilt pattern from Easy Does It 3 Yard Quilt Book by Fabric Cafe; orange, white, black colors: Lava Flow. I love your videos!
Thank you! I would love to, but when I use a pattern like the one you are talking about, I can’t give any cutting sizes, instructions, etc. It is copyrighted. I do love their patterns, but I’m not sure I would be very helpful. ❤️
Sew Very Easy UA-cam channel did a 3 yard quilt tutorial. You don't need to mention measurements. April's Craft Room also does those tutorials.
@@anitab.2114 oh cool! Let me look into it.
Hi, I was hoping you could help me. I would like to make a memory quilt with my parents clothes, I have mixed fabric and some corduroy don’t know what kind of pattern to use and I was planning on printing some pictures on fabric too. Thank you for any help you can provide
Oh wow. How wonderful! Unfortunately, I have very little experience working with heavier fabrics. I wish I could help!
Love your tutorial but my question is about the baby quilt you made. You mentioned double knit gauze which I am not familiar with. Are the fabrics on both sides of that baby quilt made of gauze? Or are the two prints regular 100% cotton? I had heard Tracy mention it in a video but had not yet researched it. I normally use flannel for baby blankets but my best friend is becoming a grandma for the first time and I want to sew something a little different and special. I live very rural in Oregon and there are no fabric stores close so all has to be ordered. Can you tell me what I am searching for and do you have recommendations where I should look? And last question, did you prewash your baby quilt fabric or just wash after it was all done? Thank you for the help.
Hi! Great questions! I used the double-knit gauze on the back only. I am not sure how it would be on the front, but I am sure you could try it. If it is your first time working with double knit gauze, however, I would only use it on the back until you get used to it. It is sometimes called Bubble Gauze and is usually near the baby fabric section of fabric stores. You can get it at Joann Fabrics, and I believe you can even order from their website. Here is a link to what you are looking for: www.joann.com/green-swirl-dot-bubble-gauze-swaddle-fabric/19290147.html . As for washing baby quilts, I usually wash them after I finish binding them. I use a very mild detergent and let the new parents know what is was washed in, how I washed it, etc. and remind them that the quilt is meant to be used. ❤️ I hope this helps! Let me know if you have another other questions!
@@SewtheDistance thank you for your help.
So neat. Where would you get the gauze for the back of the quilt? Thank you
Thank you! I got the gauze at Hobby Lobby for this project, but you can get it online or at Joann's. It's called Double Knit Gauze. It is wonderful!
Great video. Where in PA are you located?
Thank you! I am in Northeastern Pennsylvania. We grew up here but moved away for about 27 years. Two years ago we moved back home. Love it here!
@@SewtheDistance I grew up NE Of Philadelphia. I love the mountains in PA. Take care!
Can I pick your brain? I think I’m going to attempt a log cabin. What is the deal with the varying center square size? Is there a “correct” proportion? I’ve seen same size as the logs, twice the width and your video on the very old log cabin had the center at three inches with one inch logs…is it just whatever floats my boat?
Great question and observations! Yes, it is basically whatever floats your boat. There are so many variations that you can't go wrong. I do have a log cabin tutorial if you are interested. I made it with a jelly roll. Here's a link: ua-cam.com/video/jJdUk1ieV4s/v-deo.html Hope this helps!
What about batting?
You can use batting. I did. ❤️
@@SewtheDistance
Thanks so much. Got it! Will be great for Project Linus for quick way to use scraps. ™️❣️
YES! Perfect for that!
How long are the strips I think I cut my fabric wrong
The strips are the width of fabric, so anywhere from 42”-44” depending on the print. You will have to trim them up on the ends after you are finished sewing. Hope this helps!
