Thanks Jen. I really like your thoroughness in working on all its parts.
We appreciate your support and happy that you enjoyed this tutorial! Thanks for your comment! - Abby
I made two of these last year for our Great Granddaughters. They turned out great!
I bet they were gorgeous! Happy that you love this project and thanks for your comment! - Abby
Sooo cute! It helps to number the applique.
Happy that you love this project and great suggestion! thanks for your comment! - Abby
That is precious!! I need to get my sewing machine fixed !! I would love to make that for my cousin baby shower!! ❤️
This is a great quilt and will make a great gift! Happy that you love it and thanks for your comment! ❤️ - Abby
I've made this quilt and missed the part about pressing seams open. Probably would have made it less bulky in the end. I found my layers too think when using a satin stitch around the elephant body. I switched to a different decorative stitch that it wasn't as noticeable that my machine would drag over the bumps. Turned out cute for my grandson.
We are happy that it turned out well for you! The more you quilt the better you get at it! Happy that you love this quilt and thanks for your support and comment! - Abby
I'd like a queen size, please, made with red & green plaid flannels with a cream background fabric and not set on point. 😊
That would be a stunning quilt! Great idea! Happy that you enjoyed this tutorial, thanks for your comment! 😊 - Abby
I ordered the kit and the quilt is coming out adorbs!!
Would you suggest a tear away stabilizer before using a satin stitch to finish the appliqué?
We're so glad you're enjoying this one, Donna! You can definitely use a tear-away stabilizer if you'd like. We did not use it with our sample, but some people prefer them. Thanks so much for watching! -Michelle
So cute! Was the quilting done prior to the appliqué going on the quilt?
Hi Debbie! We're so glad you enjoy this fun design! The appliqué was added before the quilt was sandwhiched and quilted. Hope this helps :) -Michelle
Would you use a layer of batting in the quilt?
You can, as long as the batting/interfacing’s measurements do not exceed that of the front fabric. Happy that you like this project and thanks for your comment! - Abby
Can we just purchase the pattern? I have a ton of flannel to sew up
Yes, we have the pattern available! Here is the link to shop: www.shabbyfabrics.com/p171377/ellies-pinwheels-quilt-pattern Hope this helps and thanks for your comment! - Abby
Jen, does this fabric have wool in it? Noticed it mentioned “woolies” in the description. I’m allergic and unable to work with it but adore this baby quilt.
This is 100% cotton flannel not wool. Happy that you love this project, it is the cutest! Thank you for your comment! - Abby
On the tutorial Jen didn't show removing the backing when doing the ears. Then when she moved on to showing the assembly of the entire applique she did remove the backing before fusing. Do you remove all backing prior to fusing? And if that is the process, will it fuse to the quilt after being heated up already?
Hi Barbara - The backing of the pink fabric (in minute 21 of the tutorial) is removed when Jen fuses it to the gray ear. You'll want to remove the portions of the backing when you're fusing it to other fabrics. The ear backing will be removed when placed onto the quilt. The fusible does work even if it's been heated up before. If you do find that your fusible isn't sticking well, you can always use an additional element like Roxanne's Glue Baste It to assist you. Hope this makes sense! -Michelle

I wanted to order this to make for my grandson coming in June. I am worried about all the pink… wish it was a little more gender neutral ❤️ I love your shop and have ordered often. Thanks for your video

@@ShabbyFabrics Thanks for your quick response. Can I order the appliqué by itself?
@@donnadelbrocco4050 We do not have this appliqué available separately from the kit. -Michelle
Jen - What kind of pins are you using?
We are using the Clover Patchwork Pins (Extra Fine). You can find these on our website, here is the link to shop: www.shabbyfabrics.com/p51106/clover-patchwork-pins-extra-fine-size-30-1-1-2-100ct Hope this helps and thanks for your comment! - Abby
I can’t find anywhere in the pattern or it tells us how big each of the blocks are. Please respond with the size of each block once finished.
@mdnisg61 After Assembly steps 1 & 2, your blocks should measure approximately 7.5" x 7.5", mirroring the larger white blocks you'll attache them to. Once finished, these should measure approximately 7.5" each. Hope this helps! -Michelle
