Oh my goodness ,I'm in my stash looking for something to make a baby quilt for a girl and I'm on a no buy month ,so stash is it. Lol thank you MS LEA LOUISE IS WILL WORK GREAT!!!
Yay, Neva! Our minds are thinking alike again! I want new spring fabric but need to use what I have first. This quilt pattern is great for scraps and especially for a last minute baby quilt! Have fun playing in your scrap pile. 🧵😀🥰 Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
I have made numerous quick baby quilts like this, with the stripes going side to side. I love YOUR colors and fabrics. Very pretty. Anyone would love a special gift like this. You explain and demonstrate very well. Thank you for sharing this with us.😊🎉❤
Glad you enjoyed this video, Liz! These two fabric worked really well together. An easy quilt is even better when it looks awesome, too. Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
I love strip quilting. I made one out of kid stuff, dinos, animals and such. Turned out really good. Now I'm pumped up to do another one. Thanks for the fun. 🤗😸
So glad you enjoyed this video, Pat! Easy quilts are a great way to showcase gorgeous fabrics to let them shine. This will also be a great Valentine and Easter quilt. I need to get busy! Thanks so much for watching. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
You win Lea, I made two for twins coming in October since I saw your awesome video. I loved how you shared to contrast a dark and a light. This is often so overwhelming to me when trying to choose fabrics that work amazingly together. Thank you!😊
YAY, that is awesome, Sheila! Great job. They will love their new quilts. So glad you gave it a try. Thanks so much for following along! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Awesome! Thanks for following along, Sandra! This is a great way quilt quickly and still add some interest. Thanks so much for subscribing! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Absolutely, Nancy! I've done it and they make a wonderful rag quilt that's goes together quickly. Here's the video you might enjoy watching. ruclips.net/video/G0hAYw_CdjU/видео.html Thanks for following along! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
@@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise Thank you. I have mentioned your channel in the rag quilting facebook group I am in, your tutorials are great learning tools.
I made one similar to this but, with different size Christmas fabric that all coordinated with each other. I used white in between each fabric strip. It turned out really cute. I love the colors you chose for this one.
The Christmas fabrics sound wonderful, Linda! I'm anxious to try some different ideas with this pattern. Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Hi Lea Louise, Yeah this is definitely an awesome baby quilt. I can see it bigger in colors that won’t show stains and use it for a picnic quilt. Wouldn’t that be so nice? Does people even go on picnics anymore? I don’t know, but it’s a good thought. Lol Good video, I’m learning lots, so thank you for sharing. God Bless ❤
Great idea, Pam! Yes, there are still a few picnic-ers out there. My dtr-in-law always brings along the denim rag quilt I made my son and it works perfectly for a picnic. Glad you enjoyed the tutorial! Thanks for watching and blessing to you and your family. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Right, Joann!? We all have some beautiful, favorite fabric we don't know what to do with. This is perfect and can become any size, too! Thanks for watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
I love the wavy line quilting you do! It is my "go to"!! I haven't been quilting THAT long yet, but I have learned a lot from you as well as several other quilting "vloggers"! Thank you so much for your time and videos!! Great KFC fabric!
Right, Lucille! So simple yet incredibly stunning. It's all about contrast and it really worked well here. Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
It really is super fast, Victoria! Love the contrasting color blocks - such an simple design technique. Glad you enjoyed watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Great idea, Sue! Many traditional quilt patterns use small pieces in their blocks That was great when everyone used calico - the very small print fabrics. But the new fabrics are too pretty to cut up so tiny! Have fun putting those favorite fabrics to use! Thanks for watching. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
When using a walking foot, it's not necessary to lower the feed dogs, Carolyn. The walking foot actually has feed dogs too to move the top fabric along. This way multiple layers move together reducing, if not eliminating uneven edges a the end of a seam. I use mine a lot and it reduces arm and shoulder strain from trying to keep the layers of fabric moving. Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
I've just watched your video and subscribed, I'm in awe of how simple but beautiful this quilting style is. Is there a tutorial for how you do the edging? Thank you so much 😘
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed this one. It's a super simple design but with the right fabrics and contrast it's a real stunner! Yes, I actually I have a binding tutorial I'll include below along with my 'How to Quilt' playlist. Sure appreciate you watching!

Love the material choices and the simplicity of this; I believe I can make my first quilt with your video and design. I am a bit curious of how your ombre backing looks. I love ombre pattern on everything.
I just posted an image of the backing on the Community Tab. Unfortunately, it seems I forgot to add it to the video. This is a great first quilt and you'll love the results! Thanks so much for watching. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Good question, Elaine! This is Fairfield Toasty Cotton which is a low loft so it's not too thick or heavy. It's great to quilt with and feels terrific! Try a small package and see what you think. Sure appreciate you watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
There's not a binding video for this quilt, but here's a tutorial link you may find helpful. I've also included a link to my 'How to Quilt' playlist that has lots of beginner tutorials.

I have a question about the spray basting. I have used it, but find that i get puckers on the back. I have tried everything and can’t seem to keep that from happening. Any suggestions?
There could be a couple reasons, Kathe. Here are the steps I take when basting. The backing is secured in place with either pins or tape, making sure it's taut. I spray it then center the batting on top, spray again and lay the quilt top in place. Let the quilt top lay loosely when you spray baste it. This way as you are quilting you can use your hands to hold the sandwich taut. As you're doing that you are also putting extra tension on the backing so it's less apt to bunch up as you quilt. Check out my walking foot videos if you haven't seen them. I'll include the playlist link below. ruclips.net/p/PLDqkQjWsSDqlKfvHKjyssSUq71XNt9kbJ Let me know if you're still unsure of what's happening. Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Thanks for those kinds words, Laura! When I go to a quilt shop or quilt show it's all about the fabric. When I see something I like I grab it as I've learned if you wait it's gone. The blue print is a Kaffe Fassett design called Millefiore and it comes in many colors. The white fabric with blue dots is by QT Fabrics but I don't see this exact design on their website. I'm sure most quilt shops would have something comparable. You can probably find these fabrics easily online, too. Have fun shopping! Sure appreciate you following along! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Great to have you following along, Chantel! A walking foot is a primary quilting foot for me. I use it to quilt all my quilt sandwiches as it keeps the fabrics moving together smoothly. That means less chance of tucks on the backing. I also use it for bindings as it works great going through multiple fabric layers. Plus it's perfect for rag quilts. You'll see me use one in many of my videos. Here's a playlist of walking foot tutorials that shows how it can be used. Thanks for watching! Happy Quilting, ruclips.net/p/PLDqkQjWsSDqlKfvHKjyssSUq71XNt9kbJ Lea Louise
Welcome, Janet! Nice to have you join me and glad you found my tutorial helpful. I add a binding to finish my quilt. I'll add a video that shows you what I mean. It looks nice and is very durable to keep the edges together over time. Happy Quilting, ruclips.net/video/wiCI-IHKfXA/видео.html Lea Louise
Hello Louise, I'm watching this video I think it's a great idea using strips to make a quilt top. But you did not say what the final size came out to be? I was wondering if you could give me that information please. Because I'm wanting to make a quilt say for a 5 to 8 year old. Using this method because I think it will be put together quickly. Thank You for the video.
This quilt used seven 6" strips cut from the width of fabric, Marion. It measures apx 38" x 40" making is a perfect size for a baby quilt. It could be fun if you make it a large square and join four of them together for a larger size, too! Sure appreciate you following along! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Yes, I use #11 Schmetz Quilting Needles and like how they sew. I also keep #14's & 16's on hand for heavier fabrics and rag quilts. You can find the like below the video in the description box. A good, sharp needle makes such a difference in how easily you can sew. Don't continue with a dull needle because it'll make larger holds in your fabric and sometimes pull threads. Little things can make a big difference! Thanks for watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
For general quilting I use Schmetz #11 Quilting Needles. I keep both #14 and #16 needles on hand for heavier projects. Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
I'm so sorry, Kellie! There are some more baby quilts I want to do and I'll make sure the bindings are included! Thanks for watching. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Sometimes I get to talking and not paying attention, Kathleen! You're right b/c those cutters are incredibly sharp! Thanks so much for watching and looking out for me! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
