Thanks for this fabulous idea. Backing fabric/yardage always so expensive. Brilliant to use up these endless purchases of fat quarters over the years. You’re a wonderful teacher, and explain it all so well. Love from Australia. ❤️🇦🇺
Thank you so much for this video. I made my first quilt in 1971 and I’m still learning!! I have more fabric than I’ll ever be able to use but now I have a way to use some of it up. I am really anxious to do this with my Kaffe Fassett fabrics😁
I loved this episode. I have SO many fat quarters and this is a great way to use them up. Thank you so much. I have a dozen tops pieced and this is a fabulous way to get them done! ❤
I use this back technique for memory quilts. I save the backs of the shirts. I love the look and no extra fabric expense for the customer. Love all the quilt backs in this video!!
Fabulous once again Tiffany. You rocked these 3 quilts. Always a pleasure watching you create. You truly are a blessing. I too have MS and somedays I can't function well or I'm stuck in bed. Watching you helps me remember I'm truly not ever stuck and this too shall pass so I can get back to playing and creating. You definitely motivate and you are a true blessing and inspiration. Thank you times a gazillion... Lol 🌟 🏁(WE WIN, ALWAYS and AMEN)
I have started to piece together my fat quarters to be used as backing for my quilts. Please remind everyone to include the seam allowance in their calculations. great video.
You’re absolutely amazing! I love your skills, patience, & dedication to sharing everything so readily. Thank you, Tiffany. Always looking forward to you🫶
All the quilts are beautiful 😻!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, it was so much appreciated and will help a lot. Thanks again for always going beyond expectations.
Thank you Tiffany for sharing this amazing idea and how to center all the fat quarters. I have tried to piece a back with fat quarters once but was totally off center lol. You are truly talented and such a great teacher. Thanks sew much ♥
Thanks! I've pieced several backs now, but only sent one to a longarmer. Great tips to make sure things come out best, I think I spent more timing piecing my last back than I did the front!
That was super interesting and very useful info. You are a great teacher. My least favorite part of quilting is making my sandwich.So helpful- picked up a few tricks...!!
Thank you Tiffany, that was so useful as I have a stack of fat quarter's I definitely need to use up. They look great. Love your style of quilting. KATHLEEN from ENGLAND
This application is great. Seeing how you took the time cutting them up individually as needed was helpful. I never considered the sizing as I usually cut them up but doing this is a game changer for me as now I will finish some of my tops. I was told by a long armer if I was close I could add muslin to the out side round to get the size needed for the long armer then remove when done. but not sure how that works.
Tiffany❣❣thank you so much! For your teachings❣❣i was wondering how to centre a quilt so seams line up❣❣also do you have channel locks built in to your quilt machine! You are awesome❣💕💕💕
If you cut a 10" strip, and a 5" strip from your fat q's, you will have a strip left 2" more or less. You can get 2 layer cake squares and 4 charm squares-one big quilt? (or half jelly roll strips from the cuts) out of the strips easily. The left bits can make 2 1/2" squares, or half jelly roll strips or potato chip blocks as you want. The bigger squares can be left uncut in strips until later, or make your own pre-cuts sraight away, if you get similar lots or themes put together, you can put packs for quick baby quilts, or larger, e.g. in zip locks, to sew up later. So it is a good resource to put together quickly. Layer cakes can be cut down into multiple squares later or what you want, etc. Add a few more if you want bigger quilts, however you want it? Add a few plain fabrics to cut up if you like them as contrasts. Put a note of what is in each kit, to remind you what it's set up for? Maybe you could cut all the binding or backing to go in the pack too? Have fun and take your time. Good idea for big fabric quilts thank - you.
Morning..when using all these squares for the backing, do you have to be concerned at all when you do put it on the long arm? Meaning, do the seams get in the way at all? Thanks once again for showing us this !
an idea for you, you make one for demo and one for viedo the same just different colorway right, why dont you use the 2nd flimsy that you make for the viedo and use that for the backing of the 1st as they are the same size and pattern , making it a reversable quilt, could do 1 theme on 1 side and different theme on other side.

I would never have thought of using fat quarters for backing. Love the idea.

I learn so much from you by actually seeing the whole process! You are great at teaching! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Tiffany. I’ve not seen this process. You’ve taught this old dog many new tricks 😂 Have a Great Day!
Great tutorial! Mostly I'm making pieced backs, that takes a lot of time. This looks so easy
This was a great teaching video! Thank you, Tiffany. I love learning from you! ❤
This is so useful. I love it ! Thank you Tiffany ❤❤❤
Thank you for going step by step to create a back and essentially a reversible quilt!❤
Loved the video and the way you teach. I have used FQ and orphan blocks on my backs for years. Thank you Tiffany!🥰
I loved this episode. I have SO many fat quarters and this is a great way to use them up. Thank you so much. I have a dozen tops pieced and this is a fabulous way to get them done! ❤
Have fun making quilt backs 😊

What an awesome idea Tiffany thank you so much! I've got so many fat quarters I'll never use them up but this gives me a great idea
I have started to piece together my fat quarters to be used as backing for my quilts. Please remind everyone to include the seam allowance in their calculations. great video.
Love how you made these and showed how you marked it and now I will have to try this for a fun reversible quilt.
Good Thursday morning to y'all!!!
Good idea Tiff !,thank you

Love the idea thanks.
Now I have a use for all the fq’s I’ve gotten from a bi-monthly club. Thank you Tiffany ❣️
Tiffany,
Thank you for sharing this great idea.
You are truly a great teacher explaining what your doing.
Those are beautiful quilts, and all reversible. My favorite is the Fall/Christmas quilt. Love those colors❤
Never thought of this. Great idea. Thanks for another great video.
Watching your replay now on my tv
I found myself using my finger on my phone screen trying to smooth out your quilt top 😂😂
😅😅😅😅😂😂😂
I have done that. Your not alone. 😂
Lol 😆
Thank you Tiffany. Great teacher
Love all the backing fabric. Thanks for teaching.
Thanks! I've pieced several backs now, but only sent one to a longarmer. Great tips to make sure things come out best, I think I spent more timing piecing my last back than I did the front!

I’m loving this video so much❣️ two sides are so fun one for a younger person and then a teenager side ❤
Need to do this! Lots of far quarters lol. Love your FQ picks!❤️
I wish I had that many Fat quarters saved. You've saved my brain cells, from having to do a lot of math.
I was just thinking of doing this myself. Great thanks.
Good morning! What I great idea. I like that it can be a reversible quilt and fun. Best is the easy math. Thank you!
Nice selection of fat quarters by color coordination.
Sorry that I slept through so I am here late. I have way too many tops too so am anxious to watch today…as always 🎉. You make it so much easier 🎉
You weren't late, this was an uploaded video.
Love the fall fq. So pretty
This is Ab. Solut. Ly. Brilliant! Thank you! I never would have considered using fat quarters this way.
Great idea. Thanks, Tiff.
Love the purples jelly roll quilt design 🎉
Thanks for all of this information. I will definitely be doing this for some of my quilts.
Another GREAT Tiffany tutorial!
Thank you, thank you. I also have 3 drawers of them.
Thank you, Tiffany
This is such a GREAT video !! What an inspiration 👏 🙌 ✨️ I've wanted to use a few FQ bundles for a few tops. Great ideas 💡 TY !! 😊
This application is great. Seeing how you took the time cutting them up individually as needed was helpful. I never considered the sizing as I usually cut them up but doing this is a game changer for me as now I will finish some of my tops. I was told by a long armer if I was close I could add muslin to the out side round to get the size needed for the long armer then remove when done. but not sure how that works.
It's cause a longarmer wants at least 4 inches all the way around a backing. It's for pinning or clamping room.
Brilliant video thank you. Xx
Oh my I love this one with looks strips with flying geese down middle love get that pattern
I'll have to do a video.
Gmorning Tiffany thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks 😊
Thank you for sharing this it is amazing!!
Great idea. Thank you. 🥰
Tiffany❣❣thank you so much! For your teachings❣❣i was wondering how to centre a quilt so seams line up❣❣also do you have channel locks built in to your quilt machine! You are awesome❣💕💕💕
I don't have magnetic channel locks. I do have a plastic wheel clip lock I can add.
If you cut a 10" strip, and a 5" strip from your fat q's, you will have a strip left 2" more or less. You can get 2 layer cake squares and 4 charm squares-one big quilt? (or half jelly roll strips from the cuts) out of the strips easily. The left bits can make 2 1/2" squares, or half jelly roll strips or potato chip blocks as you want.

So it is a good resource to put together quickly. Layer cakes can be cut down into multiple squares later or what you want, etc. Add a few more if you want bigger quilts, however you want it? Add a few plain fabrics to cut up if you like them as contrasts. Put a note of what is in each kit, to remind you what it's set up for? Maybe you could cut all the binding or backing to go in the pack too? Have fun and take your time.
Good idea for big fabric quilts thank - you.
Thanks for adding those ideas 😊
Very pretty ❤
Hiya Tiffany! Great video, thank you so much for the lesson! Did you even make a 'dent' in that dresser of FQ's??? LOL I love your choices!
Nope I hardly made a dent. 😄 🤣 😂
I actually prefer non yardage . Going to love this forsure.
I was actually wondering how your rotary cutter works.
Do you push a button while you're sliding it or what?
Love this idea thanks
I love the pattern on number 1 quilt. Where can I buy the pattern?
That one was an off camera quilt. Here is for the other 2 th-cam.com/video/_3hX4mLNDsw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ILwtlby6TO9e1KvO
Morning..when using all these squares for the backing, do you have to be concerned at all when you do put it on the long arm? Meaning, do the seams get in the way at all? Thanks once again for showing us this !
They sit fine on the longarm having seams both directions. Sometimes there will be sagging but I work with it.
Your fat quarters are so cute! Where do you get them? I don’t have many because they usually come in bundles that I can’t afford!
I get fat quarters from many places. Some I make myself, some sent to me, some I bought at closeouts.
How often do you change your needle? You always cut with such ease
I change it every couple months, or when I have issues or get reminded to 😄 🤣 😂 I'm bad about needle change
What is that stuff you lay out on the wall
It's just cotton batting.
Thank you so much thanks for all the tips xx
Hi Tiffany what is the name of the calculator you use to figure out how much backing you need?
Robert Kaufman
It's the Robert Kaufman Quilting Calculator in the app store. Simple to use.
an idea for you, you make one for demo and one for viedo the same just different colorway right, why dont you use the 2nd flimsy that you make for the viedo and use that for the backing of the 1st as they are the same size and pattern , making it a reversable quilt, could do 1 theme on 1 side and different theme on other side.
I make more than one quilt out of them, cause some buyers may or may not like both.
I use fat quarters for my backs because that is what I have.😅
So you don't use batting? Just checking
I use batting. I just align it up on my markings.
Good morning
