I love this tutorial; I saw this in a Quilt catalog...I wanted to see a tutorial on it before trying it...It's Beautiful...And would be great gifts for 2 legged and 4 legged kids...Thank You Brittany and Misty...Enjoy MSQ...
When I was a young girl, I remember a hand made quilt my Mom had that was hand tied and pieced and lined from old clothes...It was soo heavy, but so warm...My Mom or Grandma made it...
Whenever I sew anything, I can feel my grandmother and mother looking over my shoulder. Yeah, they're watching.
How sweet you having beautiful memories of your grandmother and mother making quilts. :)
I really like these tutorials where you have a guest quilter. It’s nice to see and hear from different people with the same hobby/interest. We love learning new tips and tricks to try. Great video, thanks 😊 🧵
My aunt used to make the cutest purses out of the puff squares. I still have two - a mom and a daughter one done all in reds at my request. I also used to have one done in all blues. Everytime she would go "to town", she would have her purse with her and someone was always ordering one. I think I'll pull mine out and start carrying it again! Thanks for a great tutorial.
I made one years ago …. I think simplicity or one of the other pattern companies had a pattern for it. We just put a fabric piece on the back and tied it between the squares. I did find it it was a simplicity 5950 done in the 70’s. Wow my son used that quilt forever. Thanks for the memories!
What a treat!! My mom died 6 years ago, she had started a puff quilt from 1950's fabrics and never finished it. We worked on it while she was suffering with dementia and could manage to stuff the little squares.. but it was not finished before she died. I took the project home with me and over the past 6 years worked on sewing the puff squares, then filling them with batting. I so wanted to finish this quilt, it has a real retro look to it! But I did not put a backing on it, but I will do that now! I love the quilt and will not part with it. Thank you!! Thank you Misty and Brittany!
I love using the backing folded over for the binding, it's SO much easier and quicker, and unites the front with the back visually. Future generations can add a bias binding if the edges are worn. :) FUN tutorial!
My grandmother used to make ombre like puffy quilts 50 plus years ago. She used to layer colours like this with both pastel colours and with standard colours. She used to make one for every newborn. I started the tradition again since she passed.
Oh just realise my question was a bit silly...lol...much easier single rows...but so love this ❤️❤️
My mother-in-law and I made one of these completely by hand back in the earl y 1970's. I have no idea how we did it. But this method is SO MUCH EASIER. I will have to try it. Sewing is my first "love" when it comes to crafting.
I learned to quilt from an elderly lady about 50 years ago in Canada doing puff quilts and hand stitching each one. They were made from whatever scraps she had and also stuffed with everything from scrap batting and fabric to nylon stockings. Her hands were so affected by arthritis that they almost didn't look like hands yet she could hand stitch with amazing speed.
Wow! A brilliant way to connect! Made these in the 70,s!❤️❤️
What a great trick of sewing the three sided "ravioli" puffs together in a row before stuffing! Wow, such a game changer. I remember trying this puff quilt many years ago and thought to myself, there must be an easier way to do this. And you've shown us how. Thanks so much.
Thanks to both of you for a new project. Enjoyed watching Misty say she felt nervous it encourages us new quilters that it is ok to feel that way. Happy Quilting one and all.
I the late 70s, a group us friends made quilts like this for the residents of the county nursing home. We stuffed them with OLD PANTYHOSE! The quilts weren’t as puffy and heavy but just as warm!
In the late 70's I did many craft shows. I made hundreds of pot holders in many styles. one of my most popular was the puff potholder. I used a foundation of interfacing and 9 puffs on top. Joined and stuffed by machine then the backing was applied with an inch and a half all around. I turned the border as you have. Sharon in Michigan
My Grandmother bound every quilt she made and she made 100's of quilts, with this method! Only she just machine stitched it closed. I love this binding method so easy! Thank you for sharing
Thank you, MSQC! Enjoyed the information and tips of Brittany’s puff quilt!
Best comeback quilt. I made an Eye Spy Biscuit/Bubble quilt for my one year old niece. Its her favorite. She loves to spy the 80 different bubbles.
I remember as a teenager, my Mom made a quilt like this using scraps and cut up old pantyhose to use as the stuffing. (This was back when girls had to wear dresses & hosiery to school). With 4 girls & my Mom we went thru a lot of pantyhose!
What a fun quilt! I know my three boys would love a puff quilt to snuggle with! 😊 I’ve done many quilts where I brought the backing around as the binding. They’ve all held up well and go so quickly!
I like to bind baby quilts with this method when I haven’t planned for a specific binding. I have also sewn it down with a machine decorative stitch. Loved the tutorial!
I have loved the puff quilts, but was very intimated by it. Thank you for making this so easy to follow. I think I’ll try one soon.
My mother-in-law made this quilt in the early 70s. It was a pattern from one of the major pattern catalogs. She sewed the entire top (all of the raviolis) together, unstuffed. Then she cut a slit in the lining through which she stuffed. This was hand basted then covered by the batting and backing. This allowed her to make a huge bed sized quilt.
I'm so glad to have found this tutorial! I want to make a puff quilt for my daughter and this has taught me so much from beginning to end. I like the old fashioned look of tying on the backing and I know my daughter will love it too! We love vintage!
I have never seen a tutorial before about either puff quilts, self binding, or quilt tying! I learned a lot!
My grandmother made pillows out of these. The pillow had puffs on both sides.
My Grandma was crafty. So was my mom. It fueled my love of crafting. Im teaching myself to quilt. Thanks for all the tutorials.
For backing I simply did the layering of back and front RST, with batting next to wrong side of backing. Sew around, leaving about a 10" gap for turning RSO.Worked great.Top stitched around to close hole. Then tied every other square intersection.
Size was 8 sq X 10sq.
My aunt & a cpl her friends made some of these when I was a child. They called them “biscuit” quilts, & also puff quilts. Theirs were smaller squares mostly though. They also made theirs a bit lighter weight by not putting extra batting, only adding a backing to it
I have been quilting 23 years. The method of using your backing as your binding is how I was taught. I have only started using a separate binding the last 5 years or so!! I think it’s wonderful to know that as always there is more than one way! Do what ever works best for you!!
I started making these about 22 years ago for my niece and nephew and then eventually made them for all of my grandchildren and some friends grandchildren I love this pattern
My grandma made hers with thick polyester fabric! You can’t even buy it anymore. My sister loved it. It was so heavy and warm. She slept under it and didn’t move all night.
Best tutorial I've seen on making a puff quilt, love these quilts!!
This was my first quilt 30 years ago! Made a king size for our waterbed and I stuffed each puff with a pair of pantyhose! Worked well, but man that quilt was heavy!
I loved this. I’ll be getting a new grand dog in a few weeks. He’s very tiny so it shouldn’t be too hard. Thank you.
How manny charms packs please
@@yomeidagarza469 Misty used 2 charm packs, but any coordination of yardage could work. She says she used 84, just replay video . 2 x 40 would be 80. Mentioned it was 10 puffs x 12 rows, only limited by your imagination or find the free pattern link?
The way I was taught you brought the back up for your binding. Until this passed year is when I learned to cut and use binding
I started a puff quilt several years back and abandoned it after all the puffs were done and half of it was sewn together, because it was sooooo much bulk. Wish I had thought of this clever way to sew it together. However seeing how you finished it, I need to go back to it and get it done. I might rearrange the puffs and make it into two quilts for an easier approach. If I decide to make another one, at least I will know how to make it more fun. Thank you for the clever ideas.
I was so thrilled to see this tutorial! I am in the midst of making a 12 puff by 12 puff blanket. I plan to back it with fleece, probably no batting. Your method of binding makes lots of sense. So thanks all around for the info. 🙂
Polar fleece? I just scored a box load of novelty prints. But should I use o front or back, so many options
I made a puff quilt many years ago and the method I was shown was easier. All puffs were sewn on 4 sides, joined in rows then turn over and use a seam ripper making a small slit in the back fabric , fill as desired then hand stitch to close up. A backing is then placed right sides together- pillowcase method sewn on 3 sides and turned through. Close up the last edge and wide gathered lace sewn on the edge to finish off. Colours were set in a diamond shape layout. Easier sewing all together without puffiness getting in the way.👍🇦🇺
My mom made several puff quilts before she passed! I think she called them biscuit quilts!
I made each of my 11 nieces and nephews (except for the 4 month old) and my 2 kids all over (3") triangle quilts and I hand tied them all with cotton crochet thread. The triangles were cut from various fabrics, like cotton, corduroy, flannel, etc., to add texture to them. I actually surged all the triangles together to help add stability. I started out sewing as a young child handsewing and making clothing and expanded to other things, like household items; including quilts, as I got married and we had our kids (now age 19 and almost 16). I plan to make one of these puff quilts soon. It's been on my list for a while now. Thanks for the informative video. :) I also quite frequently bind my quilts by flipping from the backing to the front... my RA hands make handsewing a bit harder these days, and I machine sew it down.
Always a fun chat to listen to while I hand quilt! Thank you for sharing and your efforts!
Thank you Misty! Love Love Love!
Finally, a quilt pattern where sewing in the 'pleats' are on PURPOSE!!! LOL! Wouldn't it be fun if someone could invent a metal ruler, that we could use with charm squares to 'iron in the pleat' exactly in the middle, with a 1/2" tuck!
I have always done my binding this way. I just seemed right. Been quilting for 30 years.
I’ve never tied a quilt before but I have folded the backing over to make the binding a few times. Love this quilt, I’ll have to make one. TY
I've made many of these biscuit quilts back in the days before the charm packs were readily available. I used smaller squares but the charm packs would have saved a ton of cutting as my quilts were a bit larger. This would really go quick with the charm packs. I think I tied about every 3 squares. I used eyelet trim, sewed onto the front and then sewed the back to turn inside out, no binding necessary just a little hand stitching the opening used to turn it right side out. In this case you have to tie it at the end as the last step. My friend just sent me a picture of the quilt I made his daughter over 20 years ago. These hold up great! Good luck, fun technique.
That was such a great show - love the quilt and it was such a nice story behind it! Thanks for the uplifting quilt show❤️.
Great idea. Love the modern twist to the pattern. I haven't done one but will certainly give it a try. I have done that method of binding. So much easier way to bind although I machine sewed it instead of hand sewing. Thank you. Once again you have provided inspiration!
Oh my word!! How awesome!!
Thank you Brittany, Misty and Liz ❤️
Going to start one today. Just finishing a project. I do fold over binding and have great results.
I’m not good at cutting stripes and doing the traditional way.
Fold over after long-arm service looks perfect with mitered
Corners. Can’t wait to do this project. Wonderful instructions.
A friend made one of these years ago for her daughter. She used wide eyelet lace for a border on it. So pretty and feminine.
Our church quilters always use the backing fabric, folded over, as the binding on our mission quilts.
Loved this video. I want to make one. That is what brought me to your channel. This will be a good project for my granddaughter and I to create together. Much appreciated.
You could also make this into a weighted blanket/quilt - great idea!
Thank you so much. My grandma had made one and now I what to make one my self. 🌼
What a wonderful quilt! All inspired to try it now. I’ve never tied a quilt but have wanted to try one for a while. Thank you Brittany and Misty.
I have often wrapped my backing fabric forward. Initially it was because I was timid to add binding, but also I make a lot of baby quilts and I felt it would be more secure given the many, many washings a baby quilt will receive.
I love Britney’s projects!!!!!
Wonderful! I have only done the backing fold over binding once, on a table runner because that was what was written! Why did I not know about this? I too am a quilter because of my grandmother. There was always a quilt “on” frames in the parlour and the ladies of the community came and helped quilt whenever they could.
I think I've only tied the one quilt YEARS ago, but for bringing the backing fabric to the front for the binding-have done that for almost all of my quilts/wall hangings & they've held up fine :)
I've always wanted to make one of these!! Now I have a tutorial!! Thank you MSQC, Misty and Brittany!!
Mocha Frappuccino with coconut milk. Yum Love everything you do Kimberly.
This was really different but I love this because it is so different!
So pretty! I have only tied a quilt once but I love the look! I will be making this quilt for sure!
Thoroughly enjoyed this video!!! Thank you! Will definitely try.
Love love this tutorial..thank you ladies
In my first quilts, I backed them with sheets and pulled the fabric to the front to make a "self" binding. Also tied them. My quilt group showed me how to make real bindings so I stopped the old way.
I often bring my back to the front as my binding. I have done it for years and didn't realize until just now that most quilters don't use this method.
Marti, I also finished my quilts by bringing the back edge over the front for years. I've not been very successful doing the separate binding that seems to be the preferred method. Going back to my way!
@@shirleyhanson6132 Thanks Shirley! I emailed Sugaridoo to see if she can make binding easier for me. It's the corners that don't work for me. 😫
Cant wait to see how you do this. This is my next quilt that I will be making once I finish my current one!
Is there actually something like only doing one quilt at a time? Lol
Lol I try to do just one project at a time....trying!
Really enjoyed the program . I made one of these puff quilts many, many years ago. This way was definitely an easier way. Thanks!
I love this puff quilt! I’ve seen other videos but this one looks so much easier and less bulky. Thank you for this video!
On another note I kept smacking my tv thinking Britney’s mouse was a bug on my tv. 😂😂
I made a throw size puff quilt a few weeks back and it turned out great! The only problem i had is the WEIGHT!! Sewing those last few rows together was rough but it turned out great!
I frequently fold over the backing to be the binding. Initially it was because I was almost completely self-taught and didn't know any better! One suggestion if you're careful with your rotary cutter and want to even out your edging, you can fold under the backing out of the way and use your straight edge and rotary cutter to make a smooth, straight edge to then fold over your backing and have a cleaner line to bind along. I'm sure this matters more with a "flat" quilt than a puffy one. :)
I actually have a pattern from one of the major pattern companies for this type of quilt, I bought it over 20 years ago but have never made one, Low & Behold Stitchery's pattern seems way easier but I like having the pattern as a display item in my quilting room.
Very cute quilt. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
I love the look of this. I might be able to do this.
I like to use this binding method. I make it even easier by using one of my decorative machine stitches and sewing the binding on my sewing machine instead of sewing it down by hand. It looks pretty and the binding is very securely attached.
Great idea! I would love to work on while spending time with the family! Thanks for this pattern
I'm purchasing new kitchen chair - dk. wood and very simple. I was thinking I need to make chair pads and this method would work great. Maybe some bright Kaffe fabrics. Great tutorial thank you all for this one!
Wonderful idea! I have my mother’s antique Windsor rocking chair & have been wanting to do a seat pad. Everything you buy in the stores is too big. Now I know what to do & using some 30s fabrics scraps will fit the vintage feel perfectly!
Yes!
Genius!!
Now i must try it!
Thankyou!
I will try it with flannel
What an awesome idea for doll bedding…(hint, hint Jenny)….and the holidays are fast approaching!
I know a quilter that folds the backing over to bind. She calls it
“hemming “ the quilt 😊
Wow, I love this quilt! I shall be making at least one of these.
Wish it got cold enough in FL for one of these! We don’t even use fireplaces. 😂
I was taught this binding method by my mother several years ago, and I have several quilts with this method. But I do prefer the modern method of attaching a 2.5 inch strip to the edge of a quilt. I have never tied a quilt. I have one my mom made with polyester material and it’s tied.
My mother made a quilt like this back in the 1960s . she used old knee high hose and legs of panty hose for the filling.
I did this years ago, scrappy, round the world, KING size. My friend has loved this to death and frequently asks me to repair worn out fabric. With this new method, I will make him a new one. Oh yes, my kids are still upset that he got the puff quilt!
Love the new music!!
The first time I made these was in the early 1970s. It was in a magazine.
So fun. Thanks for sharing this.
Omgosh sooooo cute thank you! Next project
Loved your quilt!
The fold-over binding method is easy, fun and great for donation or baby quilts. For quilts with higher or harder intended use, a double-folded traditional binding is preferable for better wear.
Hi Misty i love this bubble quilt blanket. How about washing the blanket? Thank you for sharing this ❤️
Great video. Can't wait to try this.
Maybe use cuddle on back with no batting --or make like rag quilt using flannel and having raw edges on back
How adorble!!
