    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)

    Hello Tiffany. You are AMAZING!! You explain each step so thoroughly! I've only made one quilt so far and I am currently ripping out the white thread on black fabric of my second quilt. I am glad I watched this video on how to center the back and the front. I'll check out all my fat quarters to see what I have to do the second quilt's back this way. Thank you so much!!!

    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.

    • @TiffanysQuiltingLife
      @TiffanysQuiltingLife  Месяц назад

      It's cause a longarmer wants at least 4 inches all the way around a backing. It's for pinning or clamping room.

    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.

    EVEN IF a FQ measures 18" across at the selvage, they are OFTEN cut crooked and so you lose some width when you straighten them up. You really need to square up the FQ before you decide how big it is.

    • @TiffanysQuiltingLife
