Nancy is beginning the quilt series called Great Basics. Go along with her as she shows how to make a nine-patch quilt "on point" using techniques for beginning quilters and tips for advanced quilters. The Great Basics quilt is a shortened version of her Learning to Quilt series. A book is available for purchase on the website (www.onpoint-tv.com/product/gr....
The series and the book is going to take you through a better and more precise way to do different quilting techniques.
The nine patch quilt is more interesting in that it is set "on point." Kits for the quilt are available from firesidequilts.com for a limited time.
Nancy made one quilt in a blue colorway. She will be making a second quilt in a pink colorway. She shows how she chose the fabric and colors along with how to fold them for storage.
Join us for the next episode to properly cut your fabric with a rotary cutter and more. Thank you so much for watching!

You did such a great job explaining what you do and why you do it. I’m a self taught quilter who learned before these great lessons where available on TH-cam. Yet I’m still learning new things from you. Thanks so much😍👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
My Pleasure!!
You just grew wings 👼 in my eyes Nancy ....your explanation on how to choose fabric was ...liberating! that is the most frightening thing for me. But now I know that I can view those pretty fabrics as a solid I will stay clear of those boring solids. I’m really going to enjoy this series 👏.Many Thanks Nancy . 😘💐
You are so welcome! Always great to hear such nice compliments from someone that really watches!!
That was a great explanation about ironing and folding fabric. Very thorough!! I love watching your videos. I’ve been quilting for about 9 years but still feel like a beginner. I look forward to this series. Thank you!!
Super awesome 👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Great. Good to go back over the basics again. I'm a fairly new quilter and this isn't ingrained yet. Thank you.
I am going to recommend this series to one of my granddaughters who has taken a real interest in quilting. I have enjoyed your channel since I discovered it last fall, and I love that you are doing a basic series. Thanks!
Thank you. I love watching your videos.
You are a great teacher and I'll recommend the original and Basics to all my newbies. I may get the Basics too!
Awesome! Thank you!
Once again I learnt something new from you Nancy! I never knew about ironing in the direction of the selvedge which explains that rippled effect you mentioned, so thank you. I fold my fabric around my 6" ruler so they are the same width. I also put a note on it with the length because I can't judge it just by looking at it when it's folded. You're the best teacher on TH-cam!
Great video! Your instructions are so easy to understand and you have taught me so much! Thank you!
My fav fabrics, tone on tone! Love it!
Love your presentation style, concise, not giggly and chatty, and easy to understand. Thank you.
Thanks Alexis!
Dear Nancy, I don’t know how to write you regularly, so I had to come to your video. I’ve learned so much on your great basics videos. I love love love the way you teach!!! You’re very straightforward and direct. Don’t put a lot of unnecessary words or steps into your quilt. I am in great need for your help and teaching. I have sewn in Laurel Burch quilt about a little under a queen size. I’m putting cuddle fabric on the back and wanted to be a self binding quilt. My problem is, I don’t know how to attach the quilt to the cuddle fabric before I self bind it. What can I do to keep all three layers together? I know they use this technique and baby quilts but I sure as heck would love to use it on my queen sex quilt. I’m not as experienced or as wise as you are, I really truly need your help. Thank you for just reading and anything you can you send my way would be greatly appreciated Robin, Clark,
Thank you, I’ve already learnt something, this is going to be great. Again, thanks 👍❤️😊
Quilting and quilt making is my passion and although the masks were needed I'm so ready to get back to what I love, especially having all this time off from driving a school bus I need to have this craeative outlet to keep my sanity (here I thought it was the kids that drove me crazy, turns at that I drive me crazy lol). Even though I've been quilt making and quilting for a couple of decades I do so enjoy your videos and they inspire me and keep those creative juices flowing. Thank you Nancy!
Thank you!! Yea, crazy is just a very short drive for me :)
Love all your information, thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
Thanks for watching!
Thank you. I love your videos. I like knowing the why, of what you did it the way you do. Not just, do it this way. 😊
Thank you so much!
I'm a beginner quilter and finally my belief is validated. Solids versus - I'll call them patterned solids, my favorite being tonal. My first 2 quilts had solids, but they seemed too stark and had very little eye-catchability. So, I decided to move to "solids" with a design. Wow what a difference. From there, I will no longer use basic solid. I prefer the flow and movement of my tonals, watercolors, etc.
I feel like I’m back at school getting a fabulous review! It never hurts for me to see your techniques, even though it’s for the third time! LOL😃 Great job! This class is going to be so good for so many new at quilting! I love that you brought up the left handed ideas! My new friend has been worried because she’s left handed and in a class she took, she didn’t get much support.
Mlredick2 Redick Been a leftie since birth and nothing stops me. Sewing machine for us is on the wrong side for sewing, but lots of tools are dual handed, a blessing. Tell your friend to go for it. There are lots of left handed tools and for demonstrations I stand opposite a person.
Good advice, thank you! The middle of my block is a dark red square. It bled like mad but rewashed it before drying with dye catch and looks fine, phew
What's so great! Is you can watch over and over! It will be here to refer back to!
Pretty sure everyone has had wobbly strips! Or elbow in there strips!
I wash all my quilts with synthrapol as soon as I make them. Sythrapol removes excess dye in the wash and won't let it reattach.
Great Video. So easy to understand.... And I'm a lefty...lol
When I wash my quilts I use woolite and put in a color catcher. It hasn't failed me yet.
When colors bleed,I soak in cold salt water and vinegar. It solves it.
Keep at it
Thanks - will do!
I love your quilt and techniques, but what I REALLY LOVE are the two matching bookcases/ cubbies behind you! Did someone make them for you or would you be willing to “share” your source?
Hi Pat, I would if i could be i'm pretty sure Gina has had them for quite a while - oh, this is our "studio" in Gina's basement :)
Well tell Gina I think they are really cool!
Hi Nancy. I do everything exactly as you do in this video with one additional step: I cut my edges even before folding. Is there a reason that you don't?
Hi Cindy, I just don't think it's necessary to cut it first then cut it again. I used to work in data base administration and i remember one of the trainers telling us to to use any more key strokes then necessary - make it be more efficient. So i use that same logic here - I don't think cutting the edge straight before then fold then cutting it straight again would be helpful, and it's an extra key stroke :) Hope that helps and explains?
@@QuiltingWithNancy Yes, makes sense. Thanks.
I am so sorry, I should’ve added I am quilting my quilt top and batting together first. And I don’t know how to attach the quilt top and batting to my cuddle fabric. Please help Robin, Clark,.
Hi Nancy. What do you do if you have a large length of fabric? How do you fold it and do you cut it down for easier handling? My current project calls for more than 6 yards of background fabric and it's rather unwieldy. I can't hold it up to straighten. Just wondering if you have any tips for longer lengths. Thanks and your videos are all much appreciated.
Hi Wendy, Have you seen this video?
th-cam.com/video/6tVY26rYV4Q/w-d-xo.html
If that doesn't work you could cut it down into maybe 2 yard sections?
@@QuiltingWithNancy no I had not seen that one. Will give it a look thanks!
@@QuiltingWithNancy oh I haha remember watched that after all. Totally forgot. Many thanks!
New subscriber and like the techniques I've seen. As to fabric folding, any tips on working with several yards of fabric? I'm starting a new project and have two fabrics 4 yards each. Thanks.
Hi Bob, here is a quick video i did a few years ago to help answer your question :) th-cam.com/video/6tVY26rYV4Q/w-d-xo.html
@@QuiltingWithNancy thanks very much. That's basically what I had tried, but it didn't go quite so smoothly. Very helpful to see it demonstrated. Thanks again.
