Wow! Done in a day! Brava! It looks totally great! I like the black too. I often do my on-point quilts the same way (cutting off the excess) because I know I will use those scraps for something else. But if they are large pieced blocks then I go ahead and do the math to make the set-in triangles.
Any backing I don’t have to pattern match is done exactly the way you did it. I like doing it that way because the 2 pieces stay square to the selvages and the right length. It won’t work if the fabric is directional or has a nap, but YOU do YOU! Love love love❤❤❤ this quilt!
That turned out so cute ! On point is pretty easy. I didn't use a pattern either (for my first one) and I cut off the "excess" as well, beats trying to do the "triangle math". I'm on my 4th on point quilt. I like them a lot. You do 1 block ROW (turns into 2 opposite corners) 3 blocks, 5, 7, 9, 11 etc. depending on how big you go. The longest row you only make one of. That will be the middle row. I will recommend a STAY stitch all the way around BEFORE cutting the excess off. It makes a huge difference.
That's how I sew my backing together, sew along the selvages and then cut across the fold and lop off any extra. 😆Had no idea that wasn't the 'right' way to do it! 😯 Congrats on getting it done!
You can do whatever you want when you quilt, no right or wrong way, just like all the stupid rules, enjoy the sew, that's all! ❤ it turned out beautiful
The binding and the trimmed straight edges made all the difference. I didn't like it when you first showed the unfinished form, but FINISHED )))) it is wonderful )))))
It’s beautiful! I almost always have my backing seam run with the bars as quilt rolls better. Also I just lay batting on back and just over lap a inch or two. I do not sew them together. Just my choice for Frankin batting.
Kudos on a super fast finish, Kristen! I thought the black was there at the top of the quilt to add some sort of applique - like the baby's name or something. Embellished or plain, the quilt turned out great!
I just finished an on point quilt top & the setting triangles were a pain! Twice I sewed on one of the triangles on the wrong side lol! I loved the finish though! Your top is great! I love your quilting!
Hi Kristen I love this quilt and I’m going to give it a try, we all need a rainbow 🌈!! Can I ask which iron you’re using and if you’re happy with it, I want a cordless iron but most quilters recommend irons that are for the USA and can’t be used here in the uk . I look forward to all your posts, thank you 🇬🇧!!
Hi Kristen, I had a silent laugh seeing a 'clone' of myself in most of the things you were doing! I prefer to join the seam on the backing fabric running from left to right when it is loaded onto the longarm. That way the seam goes through the roller only once. If the seam was joined and have it run verticallyie (ie top to bottom) on the longarm machine, then each time the quilt is advanced that particular seam would just keep piling up on itself over and over again. I agree with how you did it. A beautiful quilt indeed. And one down from the UFO list. Thank you very much for sharing.
I like the idea of a toddler quilt. The size seems more versatile. 💕🥰
Everyone loves a rain bow. Thank you.
Love the quilt. You did a great job. Thank you.
Thanks!
Very pretty! Tfs, Laura ❤
Thanks!
Nice finish! Beautiful baby quilt that will be loved for many years! ❤
Thanks!
Great work completing the rainbow on point quilt!😊🧡💛
Thanks!

Thanks! Yes I can see how you’d need the triangle for pieced blocks!
I find you so relatable! Congratulations on completing this beautiful quilt.
I like your quilting design and would like to see more examples ❤
Thanks so much! 💕

Thanks so much! I did not stress about pattern matching the stars to be honest! 😂
That turned out so cute !

Thanks! Yes it was definitely easier in reality than in my head! 😂
@@ScrapFabricLove absolutely!
A. Very nice baby quilt!! Lots of color!
Thanks!

There is no right way! I just know my way probably isn’t the most precise 😂. I’m sure you do it better than me! 😀
I do enjoy watching you, I like how you use scraps.xx🐝🐝
Thanks so much!
You can do whatever you want when you quilt, no right or wrong way, just like all the stupid rules, enjoy the sew, that's all! ❤ it turned out beautiful

I really like this quilt ❤❤❤
Thanks!
My fabric is in a chest too. I finally have a dowel to place in to hold open. That’s a beautiful quilt.
Yes I need something to hold that bench open 😂
It turned out great!
Thanks!
The quilt has turned out really lovely. It’s better being squared up.
Thanks!
❤ I like your quilt, nice quilting…………
Thank you!!
It’s looks beautiful. I prefer plain pattern squares, just my preference. The pattern really works.
Thanks
It’s beautiful! I almost always have my backing seam run with the bars as quilt rolls better. Also I just lay batting on back and just over lap a inch or two. I do not sew them together. Just my choice for Frankin batting.
I keep meaning to try that with the batting! On my list of things to do.
Kudos on a super fast finish, Kristen! I thought the black was there at the top of the quilt to add some sort of applique - like the baby's name or something. Embellished or plain, the quilt turned out great!
Nope - don’t know the name yet!

Thanks!!
Nice😊 I join my wadding with a fusible webbing no sewing involved works ok for me but I’m not using a long arm just domestic machine
Ssnip it and rip it !!

It’s a tefal cordless iron. I like it except from the beeping when it’s cooled down. Didn’t know it did that when I bought it! 😂

Shhh don’t call it hoarding you just haven’t found the perfect project yet😊 Bright fabric is my genre too
Thanks Debee

I was told not to do it that way as you could bust the seam if you pull it too tight but honestly I rarely pay attention to that advice!
