Please, please don't ever change the "sliding quilt system" it is a PERFECT antedote for the overly technical society we live in. Also reminds me of something my dad would do. Thanks for the video. Enjoying your channel quite a bit.
I need to see a good pic of those lyrics because THAT IS AWESOME! Must do that. This just shows that the pattern doesn't have to be crazy difficult for you to get fantastic results. You're my favorite super hero.
Loved the content in this video. I cracked up when you said "Bitcoin" was a favorite go to. I've been working on one for two years! It is in my ufo challenge pile and just have a little bit to finish. I think I will get it done this year! I just love that you;re 'extra', puts a smile in my day everytime I watch and can't wait for the next one.
Thank you so much. One of my favorite things about bitcoin is that it will wait for you. It’s not always quick as those pieces are tiny but it is easy and you can do it as you have time or as you have ‘bit’ to add to it.
Thank you sliding quilt system. That's great that they're willing to help you show us your talents. I'm new to quilting and getting ready to make my husband a quilt of valor quilt. I see the affects war had on him every night when he sleeps. It's also his birthday in 2 days. So I'm hoping to have it done and hope it comforts him in some way when he has those nightmares.
Great suggestions! A lot of wisdom in your observations about these quilt patterns - thanks! I am not usually racing on a quilt, but I am always working down my stash and scraps, especially after absorbing my mom’s extensive stash. And I have very few pre-cuts. Typically, I am making my own ‘pre-cuts’ 2” strips, 2 and 2.5 squares, etc. The patterns you suggested are really perfect for my situation. Favorites: light/dark crossing Irish Chain blocks, rail fence, half square triangles, nine patch, Buckeye block, scrappy Churn Dash, flying geese. If I have a bunch of the same scraps. I’ll make a bunch of that same block. Easy to stretch out the number of identical blocks or unify scrappy blocks combining with enough of a background fabric to suit the project size from a table runner to a large quilt. For leftover stitch and flip or other tiny triangles, I will sew them into half square triangles and then into mixed or matched pinwheel blocks that can be sized up using a blender into larger sized blocks. Love your channel!❤
Thank you so much! These are awesome ideas I have to look up a buckeye block. My favorite patterns are the ones that are flexible. Kind of like kitchen tools - no unitaskers! Thanks for being here and for sharing.
St Louis 16 patch is my all time favorite quick, easy and beginner favorite quilt no matter the age of the recipient. Enjoyed seeing all of these ideas and saved a few to my OneNote program for reference. Thanks bunches.
checkerboard. I like that the simplicity of the shape/piecing allows the fabric choices to shine & allows for variety - I haven't done monochromatic like the two that you showed, I just stick with light & dark. I make a lot of spiderwebs too, very satisfying, but they aren't quick.
All of your quick quilts were fantastic---love your sense of color. Thanks for sharing how you make them yours! The sister in law quilt was a standout. Love a surprise in a quilt!
Beautiful quilts. I also love LG scale prints. Fabrics today are so bright, Beautiful, and so well made. I'm a new quilter but my go to is the race quilts only because they are quick and fun to make.
Thanks for this video. Most of us don’t think about about the ‘what ifs’. A very good idea to have predetermined a few patterns that are simple to make and fast, when you need simple and fast!!
Hi Amy. There are cookie tins on my shelves filled with string blocks, which I sew together in a hurry if I need to. The colours give me joy and keep me challenged on how to mix & match. As always, your video was fantastic and made me smile. A snowy hug from Canada.
That sounds so joyful! Snow not so much. I know it’s because I’ve always lived in the southern us and snow means being stuck in the house, but you enjoy it’s beauty! Thanks for watching and sharing
Love your moving quilt system. You crack me up, and some days, that’s important! Plus you have given me so many ideas for storing and using my scraps! Thank you! Thank you!
Beautiful quilts!!! Love easy not so easy patterns! I try to use my stash and scraps but they multiply in the dark! My go to pattern gas always been the rail fence pattern. It was the first quilt I ever made and I still love it!
I have used the Crazy Eights by Bits ‘N Pieces. I’ve made a baby boy had girl quilt simultaneously. My daughter loved her sons so much that she asked for one for her (bigger of course). Thank you for this video, as it gave me more go-tos for a quick quilt.
As a scrap quilter who does mostly donation quilts, these are phenomenal!! I’m adding them to my collection of patterns… Kudos to Toby- good help is hard to find 😊. Happy to have found you and your videos.
You should patent the Toby sliding quilt system. :) For quick patterns, I have a few: I love the Film at Five quilt. It is a free scrap quilt pattern on the wedding dress blue blog with fantastic instructions including excellent pressing instructions. It unifies pretty much any combination of colors. You use scrap 2.5” squares or you can strip piece units and subcut into sets of 5 2.5” squares. You add a background fabric like white or black or whatever will set off the colors of your blocks. It makes a beautiful quilt. It does have some pieced sashing so not quite as zippy as some, but if you have just a little more time, it makes a really high impact quilt and is a great scrap buster. Another thing I like to do is surround a gorgeous panel with a wide border of 2.5” squares. Again you can strip piece and subcut to get strips of squares and mix the units up to make it look more random. Pat Sloan’s March 2023 block a day pattern was also a really fast sew. I cut and pieced 48 blocks in a single day last weekend. If I needed to rush I could complete the quilt this weekend. Adding 1 inch and 3.5 inch (finished) borders makes it a really nice sized throw at around 57 x 73. Lastly, I love the It’s Sew Emma birthday cake quilt in the Perfect 10 book. It looks complicated but is very easy to piece. The book is available from Fat Quarter Shop in print or digital pdf form and is full of pretty, quick quilts. I don’t always cut and piece their way, but the blocks are easy to convert to whatever method you want to use (although fabric requirements might vary). I use my own stash rather than layer cakes. Because layer cake quilts are inherently scrappy, it is easy to add fabrics and add blocks to make the quilts larger, so for $14, I definitely recommend adding this book to your quilting library. Save money -just get the book and skip the set with the creative grids perfect 10 ruler- the smallest marking increment is 1/2”. That may be fine for the quilts in this book but why not make the ruler more usable for other projects? Ugh.
Those are all great ideas. Thank you so much for the detail - I’m a details girl! I have the perfect 10 book and the perfect 5 both are great and it’s so Emma patterns are impeccably written and easy to adapt. I didn’t cat Pat’s quilt this year but I’ll go check it out and the film at 5 is a new one to me that I am excited to explore. Thanks so much for watching and for sharing!
Thanks for the great ideas. A quick quilt pattern I recommend is trip around the world. You can mostly strip piece the 4 quadrants, and use a little unpicking to make it super fast.
These are great. I make most of my quilts for charity so quick and easy and scrappy are my favorite kinds! One of my favorites is the free Moda Love Charm Quit pattern. It’s a star made of all squares and HSTs. I made a king-sized one using a layer cake… It’s 64 blocks (about half HSTs and half squares) and took me maybe 2 hours to piece. It was so simple to sew for HUGE impact. And you could make it any size by just changing the size of your starting square. Thanks for sharing!
I've just started quilting and the pattern I've done is a four patch alternating with a solid square. I make scrapy 6.5" four patches and alternate with a 6.5" white-on-white. My coworker suggested for beginners is to try a brick pattern of rectangles so it's not too much pressure to get things lined up perfectly.
I’m a beginner. I like using a panel for the center and then doing a keyboard border with coordinating colors. I can see where I started and how I improved but others (non-quilters) don’t notice. I have several projects to do and am looking forward to clearing them out by the end of 2024.
Thank you for all your ideas and your helper was awesome, loved the quilts. My favorite go to pattern is Yellow Brick Road, not a super quick pattern but pieces on the larger side so it is fun to make. Have a good day.
Dear Amy, Fun watching your program. I'm intrigued regarding the diamond string pieced quilt behind you. Plus thank you for your great ideas on fast and easy quilts. I rest my head and take a nap on all the scraps I need to use. Marion in Oregon
Thank you for all these quick quilt ideas Amy! Love all of them. ❤ I am a one and done quilter usually but when I need a quick one I use my Fabric Cafe 3 yard quilt books. 🎉
Great inspiration 😃 Your quilts are gorgeous 🤩 and it’s great to know that once we have chosen a design then we can make it our own 🤔 Strips and squares don’t have to be two and a half inches wide, rainbows don’t have to include pink 🤔🤣 Love the ‘slide show’ 👍 Thank you so much for sharing 👏👏🇬🇧
I’ve made four, I think if not more, of the jelly roll race quilts. On one I appliquéd black cats climbing to chase butterflies. On one inserted a Disney Princess strip which just pops in occasionally. The other two are Christmas quilts which I forgot to display this year. I’ll write that off to being sick the two weeks before Christmas. I love making the jelly roll race quilt for a quick project.
My ‘go to’ pattern is JUST CAN’T CUT IT pattern. I have made this pattern at least four times if not more. It never looks the same. It has a large focus block and then five colors that equal the same size as the large 10 once block. It makes up quickly and always fits together perfectly.
My favorite go-to pattern is the disappearing 9-patch. I have made them using 5" squares and 10' squares. I saw Jenny doan make one recently where all her centers were white and I thought that looked better than my just randomly placing the 9 squares together. I, too, like Villa Rosa postcards! And I have recently been enamored with FabricCafe quilts.
Super fun. I love both the disappearing 9 and the fabric cafe patterns. Try a bright pop of color in the center of your nine patch- it’s so much fun to watch it dance around the quilt once divided. Thanks so much for watching and sharing.
Great group of fast, easy and beginner friendly quilts. And thank you for the quilt holder Toby. It is nice that you supplied the links and showed actual quilts you have made. I use a couple easy patterns like strip quilts or easy Villa Rosa patterns. I do have a book of 3 one yard fabric quilt patterns.
Thanks so much for this! I am all about quick and easy!Beautiful quilts.My go to is the string quilt .Iam a new quilter and it was the first quilt I made so have repeated it several times.
Oh that can be overwhelming! It’s like a blank page when you had a writing assignment in school. Just keep reminding yourself that quilted/finished is better than perfect. Thanks so much for watching.
I usually use 3 yard quilts from fabric cafe. But other go to patterens are a disappearing nine patch and tumbling charms from Missouri star. I made a crazy eights quilt once too. Thanks for sharing your ideas! Love the quilts
Lots of love for fabric cafe- those are awesome and this is the second comment mentioning the crazy 8s. Definitely have to check that out. Thanks for sharing.
LOVE all the quilts.... the checkerboards are great! My go to in a pinch is always the 3 yard quilts from Fabric cafe. I have lots of my fabric stored as 3 yard bundles and their patterns are quick, and easy to follow. I've knocked one out in a few hours in a pinch.
Girl you are working the helper lol. Beautiful quilts I recently done the same design as the orange and gray from the top of my head using red and black.
@@amydement. it turned out way better than I thought. I'll take pictures and post mine on my page later either today or tomorrow. Depends on how long it takes to convince my adult son to hold it for me lol.
What an awesome quilt show! Thank you for starting my morning off perfectly. I just added a few more to my list. My go to is Yellow Brick Road. I sat down one day and made a chart for all the cut pieces so I can go super scrappy if I want. Happy Quilting!!
Go Toby! You did a great job! Amy, I don't have a "quick quilt" go-to pattern because I don't quilt in a hurry anymore. But, those strip quilts are so quick and easy while still looking good. A framed (sashed) nine-patch works well also for quick. (I sew strip sets of three, then cut them across to make the nine patch- I showed it in my Nesting Seams video) The sashing saves time so that you have fewer seams to match up when joining blocks. LOL.....sometimes I am "extra" too.
I am quilting 2 baby quilts for a client right now but I like to make log cabin quilts...if you use wide strips you can make fewer blocks and have a nice quilt size. I also like the strip piecing and 4 and nine patch. Thank you for sharing your quilts. They were all very pretty.
Thank you for watching. Would you believe that on over 30 years I’ve never made a log cabin quilt!?! Smaller projects yes but never an entire quilt. An oversight for sure!
I’m “extra”too. I loved this video. You are a delight. Everything in the scene is intriguing as well as your cool assistant.😆 I’m definitely becoming a subscriber. I’m new to quilting and I love it. Thank you.
I really do need the Accuquilt to cut everything. I've had both shoulders repaired plus my neck and back fused. So yeah, Accuquilt has saved me and my body. My go to quilt is a tumbler quilt of various sizes of tumblers. Rail Fence, Log Cabin and medallion quilts. I love making borders, may as well make a bunch of them in various patterns. Interesting but easy. I tend to make bigger quilts and normally don't stray too far from using 4 colors at a time.
Oh that’s awesome that tools and technology allow you to continue what you love (not to mention the miracle of science and medicine). I love all of your go to quilting ideas. A tumbler quilt is my next leader ender project. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your ideas.
Brand new subscriber. I intentionally make leader and ender blocks. Your opening message spoke to me. It’s almost me. I have fabric set aside with one person in mind, I have a person and a pattern waiting on fabric. I have a pattern and fabric waiting for its person. All stored neatly waiting. Yeah right 😉. I’m surprised you didn’t mention my go to. In addition to being my go to it’s also my most requested. Disappearing 9 patch. Almost endless possibilities for how to put them back together. Any size square. One piece at a time or start with strips and subcut. Any thing to think about is where your directional print is going. Skip the directional fabric and it almost doesn’t require thinking. Use 2 colors and plan the placement and you get something that looks like an Irish chain. I will be watching everything else you have posted because I learned something from this video. I did not know that accuquilt even made patterns. I don’t have one and don’t need one. I always have teen boys wanting to make money willingly to spend an hour cutting fabric in my desired size for $20. $20 minus $1 for every mistake they make insures they are accurate. I love 5” strips. I’ve been using them for 20 or more years now. Cracks me up that Sew Yeah has 6” strips that they call Vegas strips. Besides those all of the precuts work well with 5”.
You have an awesome system going with your boys. Clever mom!!! Thanks so much for watching and sharing. I love the disappearing 9 patch and only skipped it because I know everyone mostly knows about it because it’s so fabulous! I’m really glad you’re here!
Good job by your son! I have a couple handy quilt holders too. Hubby is 6 foot 2 and has a big wingspan. Son is only a bit shorter and has long arms too. Excellent jelly roll quilt, but I like all your projects.
I love to use fabric cafe 3 yard quilt pattern books for all my charity and quick quilts. I Normally can get one done under 5 hours. That includes long arming it. I find myself at times scraping up their patterns to make it work for me.
I'm not a fan of making many patterns more than once but I've made this one a couple times now. It's a 3-yard quilt "Sew Quick" I love how fast it comes together and is only 3 yards for the top.
Found you while clicking around TH-cam tonight and you have SO inspired me! Love them all and am planning on gathering my scraps to start some fun quilts! Thank you and Happy Holidays!
Amy, your moving quilt display system makes me laugh every time. It must be fun to live at your house!
It has its moments 😝. Thanks for watching.
Pat Sloan's All My Stars is my go to. Love your sweet sliding quilt displayed!🩷
Thanks and that’s a great pattern!
Your quilt holder is the best!!
Thank You!
The best display system 👌 I've ever seen and I love the patterns. 🎉 go to the help.thank you.
You are so welcome! Thank YOU for watching.
Oh! and thanks to your assistant!
😊♥️
Please, please don't ever change the "sliding quilt system" it is a PERFECT antedote for the overly technical society we live in. Also reminds me of something my dad would do. Thanks for the video. Enjoying your channel quite a bit.
Thank you so much. As long as I can convince my guys to help me I’ll keep it up!
“Because I’m extra.” This quote will make me smile all day. So completely relatable! Thank you for being extra too and sharing!
We gotta stick together! 😝😝😝
Adorable “fancy sliding quilt system”
I always have a chuckle (or more) during your fun videos
😊 thank you
My go-to is the disappearing 9-patch. It’s so versatile.
I love it too. Thanks so much!
First time I have seen your site I’ll be back
I’m glad you’re here!
I need to see a good pic of those lyrics because THAT IS AWESOME! Must do that. This just shows that the pattern doesn't have to be crazy difficult for you to get fantastic results. You're my favorite super hero.
Oh Holly, flattery will get you everywhere! 😋. I’ll see if I can get decent photos with my good camera soon. Thanks so much!
Great ideas! Love the “sliding system “
Thanks so much!
That polka dot strip quilt is one of my favorites when I visit!!!
Ohhh… I may have to do that two color for my Colors of 2023 quilt!!!
It’s the skulls on the back that put it over the top! The puzzaz for 2023 colors would be very cool.
It is a blessing when your children help you. 😊 love this video. I have sooooooo much fabric
Thank you. It really is. I keep looking around and all I can think is “I need to sew faster!”
Loved the content in this video. I cracked up when you said "Bitcoin" was a favorite go to. I've been working on one for two years! It is in my ufo challenge pile and just have a little bit to finish. I think I will get it done this year! I just love that you;re 'extra', puts a smile in my day everytime I watch and can't wait for the next one.
Thank you so much. One of my favorite things about bitcoin is that it will wait for you. It’s not always quick as those pieces are tiny but it is easy and you can do it as you have time or as you have ‘bit’ to add to it.
Give that kid a raise🎉 great job!
😜
I love your easy, very pleasant, informative presentation style. Thanks so much for sharing your creativity with me. 🎶💖💐
You are so welcome! Thank YOU for being here!

That’s such a special quilt!! I’m sure your love will wrap him in comfort. 😊
Thank you for All these suggestions, I need a quilt in a hurry, thank you again for All the options to choose from
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching.
My go-to is a disappearing 9-patch. I’ve done it so many times, I hardly have to think about it.
Awesome. I love how that one works with any size starting square. Thank you.
Great suggestions! A lot of wisdom in your observations about these quilt patterns - thanks!

Terrific eye for picking fabrics! Just beautiful. The checkerboard is my winner in all this!!
Thank you
Quilts are delightful! Bold and confident color/print combinations. Love the light blue HST one.
Thanks so much!
Love all these fast and easy quilts. Your son did a great job showcasing all these beautiful quilts!
Thank you so much! I agree but I might be biased 😊
Great quilts which just goes to show that the pattern doesn't need to be complicated! Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome!
St Louis 16 patch is my all time favorite quick, easy and beginner favorite quilt no matter the age of the recipient.
Enjoyed seeing all of these ideas and saved a few to my OneNote program for reference.
Thanks bunches.

Thanks! He’s a keeper 😄
Three Yard Quilts are my go-to quilts.
Thanks for sharing - those are great.
Beautiful quilts. I also love LG scale prints. Fabrics today are so bright, Beautiful, and so well made. I'm a new quilter but my go to is the race quilts only because they are quick and fun to make.
They ARE fun to make and I love a quilt that shows off beautiful fabric. Thanks for watching.

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Railfence is my go-to quick quilt pattern for a quilt "in a hurry." Love this video! Thank you Amy
You are so welcome! Thank YOU for watching!
Your son upstaged you in this video! He has some serious guns to hold up his arms for as long as he did! What a trouper! 😂
Totally! He is amazing! Thanks for watching.
Have enlarged one block ( Missouri star) for a baby quilt. Using a large print to give it interest
Hi Amy. There are cookie tins on my shelves filled with string blocks, which I sew together in a hurry if I need to. The colours give me joy and keep me challenged on how to mix & match. As always, your video was fantastic and made me smile. A snowy hug from Canada.

Thank you. Rail fence works so many ways and it’s fun to play with color and design within the layout - never get bored!

👏👏👏 great Toby. That half square triangle quilt is beautiful. All of them are❤❤❤
Thank you! 😊.
As a scrap quilter who does mostly donation quilts, these are phenomenal!! I’m adding them to my collection of patterns…
Kudos to Toby- good help is hard to find 😊. Happy to have found you and your videos.
Awesome. I hope you love them and I’ll pass along your kind comments to Toby. I’m glad you’re here!

I love all of these. And don’t ever change your display system. It’s so great! I make a lot random of 5” square baby quilts.
Thank you!
Great video and love the moving quilt system, great job Toby. My go to is turning twenty or yellow brick road. very similar but different size blocks.
Thank you. I have a turning 20 quilt we love!

Sounds great! Those are both great ideas. Thank you for watching!
@@amydement. I love it when creators are active in the comments, but how do you have time?
I fit it in when and where I can. If it becomes overwhelming I’ll cross that bridge. But for now… I’m having too much fun to quit!
I’m a beginner. I like using a panel for the center and then doing a keyboard border with coordinating colors. I can see where I started and how I improved but others (non-quilters) don’t notice. I have several projects to do and am looking forward to clearing them out by the end of 2024.
That’s a great idea. Thank you for sharing.
Column quilts or half square triangles, they are quick, easy and everyone loves them. Cute quilt slider, the slider seemed to work great. Lol.
Thanks for sharing great ideas! I’m rather fond of the slider as well 😊
Thank you, I need the fat quarter pattern for all the Christmas and Halloween fat quarters I ended up with.
Oh I'm so glad! It's a fun one to make and a great way to showcase cute novelty prints! Thanks for watching!
I love all the quilts.❤
Thank you!
Thank you for all your ideas and your helper was awesome, loved the quilts. My favorite go to pattern is Yellow Brick Road, not a super quick pattern but pieces on the larger side so it is fun to make. Have a good day.
That one is coming up quite a bit. It looks awesome. Thanks so much!
Dear Amy,
Fun watching your program. I'm intrigued regarding the diamond string pieced quilt behind you. Plus thank you for your great ideas on fast and easy quilts. I rest my head and take a nap on all the scraps I need to use. Marion in Oregon
You are so welcome! And you’re making me giggle. Scraps just keep on coming don’t they? Thanks so much for watching.
Thanks for all the wonderful quick quilt ideas! I need to make a few of those. Your quilts are beautiful!! ❤
Thank you.
Thank you for all these quick quilt ideas Amy! Love all of them. ❤ I am a one and done quilter usually but when I need a quick one I use my Fabric Cafe 3 yard quilt books. 🎉
You are so welcome! Those 3-yards are fun quilts. Thanks for sharing.
Great inspiration 😃 Your quilts are gorgeous 🤩 and it’s great to know that once we have chosen a design then we can make it our own 🤔 Strips and squares don’t have to be two and a half inches wide, rainbows don’t have to include pink 🤔🤣 Love the ‘slide show’ 👍 Thank you so much for sharing 👏👏🇬🇧
Thank you! It’s all about creativity after all, right?
@@amydement. Definitely 👍😃🇬🇧
Love the basic squares lots of work
Thank you
I’ve made four, I think if not more, of the jelly roll race quilts. On one I appliquéd black cats climbing to chase butterflies. On one inserted a Disney Princess strip which just pops in occasionally. The other two are Christmas quilts which I forgot to display this year. I’ll write that off to being sick the two weeks before Christmas. I love making the jelly roll race quilt for a quick project.
My ‘go to’ pattern is JUST CAN’T CUT IT pattern. I have made this pattern at least four times if not more. It never looks the same. It has a large focus block and then five colors that equal the same size as the large 10 once block. It makes up quickly and always fits together perfectly.
My favorite go-to pattern is the disappearing 9-patch. I have made them using 5" squares and 10' squares. I saw Jenny doan make one recently where all her centers were white and I thought that looked better than my just randomly placing the 9 squares together. I, too, like Villa Rosa postcards! And I have recently been enamored with FabricCafe quilts.
Super fun. I love both the disappearing 9 and the fabric cafe patterns. Try a bright pop of color in the center of your nine patch- it’s so much fun to watch it dance around the quilt once divided. Thanks so much for watching and sharing.
Great group of fast, easy and beginner friendly quilts. And thank you for the quilt holder Toby.
It is nice that you supplied the links and showed actual quilts you have made. I use a couple easy patterns like strip quilts or easy Villa Rosa patterns. I do have a book of 3 one yard fabric quilt patterns.
Thank you for watching. The 3-yard quilts are really great. I’ll pass along you kind words to Toby.
Your video put a smile on my face and I really needed it! Thank you so very much! ❤
I'm so glad! Thank you for watching.
Thanks so much for this! I am all about quick and easy!Beautiful quilts.My go to is the string quilt .Iam a new quilter and it was the first quilt I made so have repeated it several times.
I love string quilts! They have so much movement and texture. You always see something new! Thanks for sharing.
Like the triangle quilt
Thank you!
I love seeing your work!
Thank you so much!
Second video and I'm subscribed. You get it!
Yay! Thank you! I’m glad you’re here!
Oh gosh I love that story!
Thank you! 😊
I am finally able to confidently piece easy squares and 1/2 square triangles but determining how to quilt my masterpiece is overwhelming!
Oh that can be overwhelming! It’s like a blank page when you had a writing assignment in school. Just keep reminding yourself that quilted/finished is better than perfect. Thanks so much for watching.
Thoae are great ideas! My go to is a plus quilt- with either 3 1/2 or 5” squares
Love that! Those are so cute! Thanks for sharing.
I usually use 3 yard quilts from fabric cafe. But other go to patterens are a disappearing nine patch and tumbling charms from Missouri star. I made a crazy eights quilt once too. Thanks for sharing your ideas! Love the quilts
Lots of love for fabric cafe- those are awesome and this is the second comment mentioning the crazy 8s. Definitely have to check that out. Thanks for sharing.
LOVE all the quilts.... the checkerboards are great! My go to in a pinch is always the 3 yard quilts from Fabric cafe. I have lots of my fabric stored as 3 yard bundles and their patterns are quick, and easy to follow. I've knocked one out in a few hours in a pinch.
Those really are awesome! Thanks so much for watching and for sharing.
Girl you are working the helper lol. Beautiful quilts I recently done the same design as the orange and gray from the top of my head using red and black.
I know - He was awesome! Thanks. Red and black sounds amazing I’m sure it is super striking! Thank so much.
@@amydement. it turned out way better than I thought. I'll take pictures and post mine on my page later either today or tomorrow. Depends on how long it takes to convince my adult son to hold it for me lol.
Such awesome ideas. Thanks
You are so welcome!
What an awesome quilt show! Thank you for starting my morning off perfectly. I just added a few more to my list. My go to is Yellow Brick Road. I sat down one day and made a chart for all the cut pieces so I can go super scrappy if I want. Happy Quilting!!
Oh no now I have another to try! 😜. Thanks for your kind words I am glad you enjoyed the video.
Great video!!! Love all the color
Thanks so much!!
Love love love 😂
Thank You
Go Toby! You did a great job!
Amy, I don't have a "quick quilt" go-to pattern because I don't quilt in a hurry anymore. But, those strip quilts are so quick and easy while still looking good.
A framed (sashed) nine-patch works well also for quick. (I sew strip sets of three, then cut them across to make the nine patch- I showed it in my Nesting Seams video) The sashing saves time so that you have fewer seams to match up when joining blocks.
LOL.....sometimes I am "extra" too.
Yes! Your art quilts are the MOST - just like you 😊.
Thank you.. I don’t get much time to sew, but I love to. 😊
You are so welcome!
Great and V . Informative and Inspiring video. Thanks
I am quilting 2 baby quilts for a client right now but I like to make log cabin quilts...if you use wide strips you can make fewer blocks and have a nice quilt size. I also like the strip piecing and 4 and nine patch. Thank you for sharing your quilts. They were all very pretty.
Thank you for watching. Would you believe that on over 30 years I’ve never made a log cabin quilt!?! Smaller projects yes but never an entire quilt. An oversight for sure!
I’m “extra”too. I loved this video. You are a delight. Everything in the scene is intriguing as well as your cool assistant.😆 I’m definitely becoming a subscriber. I’m new to quilting and I love it. Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
Amy, another great free pattern: Sundance (a giant squash blossom). Free from Polka Dot Chair. Super fast and easy. I’m working on one right now.
Sounds great! Thanks.
I really do need the Accuquilt to cut everything. I've had both shoulders repaired plus my neck and back fused. So yeah, Accuquilt has saved me and my body. My go to quilt is a tumbler quilt of various sizes of tumblers. Rail Fence, Log Cabin and medallion quilts. I love making borders, may as well make a bunch of them in various patterns. Interesting but easy. I tend to make bigger quilts and normally don't stray too far from using 4 colors at a time.
Oh that’s awesome that tools and technology allow you to continue what you love (not to mention the miracle of science and medicine). I love all of your go to quilting ideas. A tumbler quilt is my next leader ender project.
Thanks so much for watching and sharing your ideas.
What a good, helping boy. Boys are so great. I have 2 ( and 2 girls as well).
He’s really kind of awesome 😊
My go tos are strip quilts 😊😊 Loved all your quilts❤
Thank you
Brand new subscriber. I intentionally make leader and ender blocks. Your opening message spoke to me. It’s almost me. I have fabric set aside with one person in mind, I have a person and a pattern waiting on fabric. I have a pattern and fabric waiting for its person. All stored neatly waiting. Yeah right 😉. I’m surprised you didn’t mention my go to. In addition to being my go to it’s also my most requested. Disappearing 9 patch. Almost endless possibilities for how to put them back together. Any size square. One piece at a time or start with strips and subcut. Any thing to think about is where your directional print is going. Skip the directional fabric and it almost doesn’t require thinking. Use 2 colors and plan the placement and you get something that looks like an Irish chain. I will be watching everything else you have posted because I learned something from this video. I did not know that accuquilt even made patterns. I don’t have one and don’t need one. I always have teen boys wanting to make money willingly to spend an hour cutting fabric in my desired size for $20. $20 minus $1 for every mistake they make insures they are accurate. I love 5” strips. I’ve been using them for 20 or more years now. Cracks me up that Sew Yeah has 6” strips that they call Vegas strips. Besides those all of the precuts work well with 5”.
You have an awesome system going with your boys. Clever mom!!! Thanks so much for watching and sharing. I love the disappearing 9 patch and only skipped it because I know everyone mostly knows about it because it’s so fabulous! I’m really glad you’re here!
Good job by your son! I have a couple handy quilt holders too. Hubby is 6 foot 2 and has a big wingspan. Son is only a bit shorter and has long arms too. Excellent jelly roll quilt, but I like all your projects.
Thanks so much!
I love to use fabric cafe 3 yard quilt pattern books for all my charity and quick quilts. I Normally can get one done under 5 hours. That includes long arming it. I find myself at times scraping up their patterns to make it work for me.
Those ARE great! Thanks
Loved this so much just subscribed.
Yay! Thank you!
Thank you Toby!
I'll pass that along! ;-)
I'm not a fan of making many patterns more than once but I've made this one a couple times now. It's a 3-yard quilt "Sew Quick" I love how fast it comes together and is only 3 yards for the top.
The 3-yard quilts are really great and I love that they have options and directions for making larger sizes as well. Thanks for sharing!
Found you while clicking around TH-cam tonight and you have SO inspired me! Love them all and am planning on gathering my scraps to start some fun quilts! Thank you and Happy Holidays!
Welcome!! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much!
