Okay, so full disclosure here--I am 71 years old and very rarely watch an entire video of this type, but you are hilarious and so full of life I just couldn't stop watching. Bravo to you for diving in to the deep end right off with your quilting adventure. I have been sewing since I was 14 years old and can tell you there have been a great many lovely crafting/sewing experiences that have made my life fulfilled and grateful so keep it up young lady and keep dreaming big, you are definitely talented and very entertaining. 😃💗
Totally agree. I am 86 and sewing with my grandmothers since a child. Miss Carly B is a refreshing gust of wind. Miss having that energy. 🙂 Keep going.
The diagonal seam is to avoid bulk by offsetting it. :) If it’s a straight seam, you double the thickness, which might leave little bumps.
INCREDIBLE!!!! Thank you so much!!!
I came here to say this! 😄
@@RavenAttwoode lol. So did I.
@@merryheart1553 Me too!
accurate!!
I showed my husband the clips of you repeating "spectacular" as evidence that there are more people just like me
😂
I marvel at your „audacity“ to attempt making a handquilted queen sized patchwork quilt in less than a week as your first quilt. Congrats on the finished project. You are an inspiration.
Bed sheets make a fantastic backing and no seam is needed 🥰 Also, you can tack a piece of fleece to a wall and your pieces will naturally “stick” to it so you can move them around while you find what feels right. Fantastic first quilt girl! I love making mine wonky and unique and full of personality! ❤
YOU'RE SO SMART FOR THAT !!! Some great ideas! I'll have to try next time! hehehe wonky and full and personality is the best 0
Absolutely LOVE your quilt! I love your chaotic attack at quilt making, which is 100% opposite of the old school, old lady versions (fiy, I AM a old lady 😉). I am 60 yrs. old, my mother & grandmother made lovely, wonderful quilts, but the thought of sitting there hand stitching for hours on end like they did, makes me wanna hurt someone. LOL I have just this past year gotten into quilting, and I've been doing several of the different quilt as you go methods, 10/10 recommend. I am now working on putting together a bunch of patches my mother & grandmother had cut out at some point in their lives. I pulled the hand me down bag from my closet, and almost cried thinking of those two cutting so many tiny squares. 😢 Sooooo, over the next month, or so, I will be putting together tiny squares forming bigger squares until I have a quilt top. I wish I had space to have one of the old timey drop from the ceiling quilting frames like my mother & grandmother had, even if it meant me hand quilting, which I hate, but it would transport me back to my childhood, and sitting under their quilt playing, while they quilted it. ❤ Fyi, I stumbled upon your channel, because I was looking up patchwork, and very glad I found you. ❤
❤ I’m 74, just last year started trying my hand at piecing/quilting small items. My M-I-L had the old hanging quilting frame, loved watching her quilt!
That was fun to watch! Straight-on-the-grain binding has only ONE thread along the whole edge of each side of the quilt. That is fine for wall hangings or items that won’t be handled or washed often. Bias binding has what, 50, 100, threads every INCH along the edge, so will endure years of love, handling and washing before the edges start to fray.
aw thank you for watching!!! THIS IS SO INFORMATIVE!!! I had to sit my boyfriend down & explain this concept to him because it needed to be immediately reshared hahahah!! Thank you!
Thank you for posting this information. It makes good sense! Bias binding here I come!
Me when I watch your content: spectacular, give me a million more.
Your quilt turned out awesome! I'm working on hemming pants (boring). Exciting projects in the future.
On a side note though, I hope you're okay. I know you were really hype about the place you had in your last video, and I hope the fancy towels found a place in your life. Please remember; your life is important and beautiful, you're not just a content creator. I hope you're taking care of yourself.
Have a great rest of your month!
hahahaha I LOVE THAT so sweet
Also thank you! I hope your pants hemming went well.
I appreciate your kindness so much by the way - for noticing the move! I just missed my old room & my family too much! I'm doing well thought & my towels are being cherished still. Thank you for the love - I hope you are doing well too!!
@@fromcarlyb the pants are still looming menacingly, but I appreciate YOUR kind words.
I understand missing family and all. I hope you're doing well, and your most recent video is also amazing. Have a great week!
I always find it so fascinating to see what people make when they don't know / don't care about the "rules". The quilt you made is beautiful.
If you haven't already, you should look up the quilts from Gees Bend. I think you'll really like them.
Next time you do binding, just keep the back longer and fold it over! I saw Rosery Apparel do her quilt that way and I JUST finished a quilt like that and it was brilliant!
Also, you join on the diagonal just to reduce bulk! Thats it 😊 love your quilt. Its perfectly chaotic and beautiful.
Ooooh I will definitely check out that video to understand more!! Thank you for the recommendation! CONGRATULATIONS on your finished quilt!!! What a feeling hey!
Also - that makes SO much sense. I can rest easily now hahahahah (also thank you!!! it is so chaotic and fun feeling)
Thank you for sharing your knowledge @jessjeans.
Friends forever, spare granny from Texas! I’m putting together a crocheted quilt. My close friend passed away three years ago, and her hubby gave me all her favorite yarns and 31 crocheted granny squares. I’m bordering them and crocheting them now. A huge job, but a true labor of love. That he trusted me with the job was huge! Plus I’m also using five different sock yarns to crochet a vest in stripes (all different variegated colours of purple. So gorgeous. I’ve got soooo many projects in the works. Love your channel.
Would LOVE to see a photo when you're finished!
I'm a quilter and all my quilts are warped. I like the look of it too. My work has always been heavily inspired by folk quilting where practicality is the primary goal with beauty as a more secondary goal that's determined by your stash. I try to do a lot of working from stash because of that. It creates an interesting look when you don't allow yourself to buy much, just like you did here.
Also, about quilt binding: bias binding stretches better to fit, so it can be good if you're rounding the corners of your quilt or something like that. It's not strictly necessary though, and kind of a pain, so people often skip it for scrappy bindings and things. The diagonal seam comes, in part, from the bias cut and in part from the need to reduce bulk when you're binding. If you use a straight across seam there, you get little seamed areas with a lot of bulk in one place, where if you use a diagonal seam it spreads that bulk out and makes it less noticable.
Also, you can do what's called a self-binding, which is where you make sure that your backing is long enough to fold over the front on all sides, and you just stitch it down that way. It makes for a lot simpler process and is used a lot in older quilts that were made for speed/practicality, and in beginner's quilts because it's so simple. I like a contrasting binding personally, bc color appeals to me but self-binding is awesome and I use it too.
Sometimes I use bias for quilt binding because it doesn't fray when the quilt gets old and worn.
oh that's so encouraging!!! it's such a sweet human touch hey...
i love that concept - i will have to look at more folk quilts! also thank you for all of your wisdom & education in this comment. i appreciate it so much!!! the self binding is SO SMART & I'll simply have to try it next time. LOVE IT!!
Take care friend & thank you for taking the time to write all of that!
Spectacular! I'll take 14 of those! You are a delight and so is your quilt! You just made a giant hug for yourself that you can give yourself over and over. Isn't that so lovely?
Darling Carly! I do not cut my binding on the bias because I am not a rule follower, and I think it is not that necessary. The reason the binding is connected on an angle has to do with bulky seams, it cuts down on bumpiness and helps the quilt lay flatter and hang better. Here again, I am not a rule follower and don't always do things the supposed "correct" way. I love that you are not concerned with perfectly straight edges, a lot of that strictness takes the fun out of the activity for me so I tend to IGNORE lots of rules. Have fun, number one priority when quilting for me. 💖
A fellow rule breaker!! Thank you so much for your input & encouragement I appreciate all the information so much! Having fun really is the best bit.
As a quilter and sewist, it feels so personal and just lovely to watch you go through this whole process. ❤️❤️
I'm a quilter also, in the more traditional style. But this quilt is beautiful; very improvisational and looks so warm and cozy and hand-made Love it.
Quilting is a slooowwww craft, 4 days is crazy! I'm working on a quilt, and we have such opposite methods, but we'll both have quilts we love by the end of it!
You and your boyfriend are lovely together and just love your quilt! I used a sheet as the backing when I made a quilt. Got a active collection of velvet, brocade and satin scraps to make my next quilt. It will never happen.
Aw that's so sweet. Thank you!! Also that's so smart! And ummmm the fabric concept sounds delightful - you must proceed!!!!
Haha!! I loved this so much! The diagonal binding is just to cut down on the bulk a bit when you’re sewing it to the quilt. You can do it either way! I’m a quilting “youtuber” and I try to really push back on the “rules” of quilting. It’s supposed to be fun and creative and experimental! You did a BEAUTIFUL job!!👏🏻👏🏻💖🍄🧵
hahah thank you!!!! that's so smart!!!! Oh I'll check out your channel now - yaay!
@@fromcarlyb omg I watched your video where you made a hoodie for your brother and it turned out SO good! 😍 now I wanna make one! 🥴
You are an absolute ray of sunshine! ALSO can we just take a moment to appreciate how long these things we use (like a quilt) ACTUALLY take to make! Incredible.
aw this is so sweet!!! hahahahaha so long. next time i'll work on a quilt over many many months instead of ONE WEEK haha!!!!
You are adorable, full of excitement and energy, and soooo talented! I admire your jumping into the unknown with such fervor❤. Keep it up, Sweetie, and continue to enjoy what you do……
kneeling on concrete while pinning your quilt sandwich. You are a miracle! If you have never checked out Dave's craftroom....siblings of another mother. Thanks for taking us along on your quilty adventure. So fun! Also if you have ever followed Tula Pink, sometimes she pulls out her first quilt and it reminds me a lot of yours. Diagonal binding makes it easier to attach it to your quilt without creating a bid bump in one spot. The diagonal distributes the seam. Sometimes people join head to head if they are trying to disguise a stripe or if they are frustrated with the diagonal. Your quilt is beautiful.
I love your quilt! Hand stitching is my favorite. I have ADHD and the repetitive motion is really soothing when I get into the flow of it.
Perhaps it’s different outside the US but I would think of patchwork as having a traditional or repeating design and what you did as improv piecing. You might enjoy videos about improv piecing and hand piecing.
I have made a lot of quilts but always get confused when making the last join in the binding and just do a straight join at the end. 😂
Aw thank you!! It is such a cathartic process hey... very enjoyable! Oh I like this perspective - I've never heard of improv piecing but it does sound like what I do! I'll watch some videos on it!
Quilts never seamed that appealing to me but now I want to make one 😍
Most quilters make their binding strips 2 1/2 inches wide,some 2 1/4 wide. This is the reason you were told to measure 2 1/2 inches longer than the end of the binding strip you were joining to. If your binding strip was 3 inches wide and you allowed 3 inches ,then it would have fit perfectly. You are so ambitious to hand quilt your first quilt! Kudos to you! I machine quilt my sandwich layers with my walking foot on my machine, so much easier for me.
Love the unbridled enthusiasm for a project that doesn't follow every rule 😊 from a several years quilter and lifetime sewist 🇦🇺🦘🪡🧵👍
I love your free spirit and natural approach to quilting your own way. I work the same way. While some people are surprised and this is not for them, I feel like buying a pattern and using somebody else this pattern is not for me. I like to invent the whole entire thing each time. Thank you so much for sharing your process with us
oh that's so sweet! it's so much fun that way hey! sometimes a pattern is awesome & sometimes it's fun to just PLAY!!
I didn’t catch you live but loved watching you and your process. We kind of do it the same way. Some of my lap quilts are just winging it and they turn out the best. I’m 81 years young and a very free spirit. Thanks for sharing
Awhh so glad I found you! I LOVE the style of randomness and it reminds me of what we used to call a cazy quilt!
hehehe random is just too fun!!! oh i love it!
Your improv quilt is just so pretty...looks vintage. The big stitching is wonderful and looks great on the back too. Love, love the pieced binding. Look how you attached it so professionally❤ I dont know if you are familiar with the Gee's Bend Quilters (USA) but they were so skillful in putting together scraps from old clothing into wonderful and colorful improv designs. Many of their quilts are in museums today. I encourage you to check it out. ❤ And another suggestion to search out is the modern Australian quilter, Kathy Doughty...fabulous!
I love improve quilts, yours is beautiful. Linda in Arizona
Oh thank you! That's so sweet. I will check out your recommendations - I appreciate it so much Linda! Take care.
I was going to say it reminded me of Gees bend quilts too - my utter favourite quilts, I drool over them xx
@@indiabilly I am in awe of them too. They are so unique and the color combinations just "sparkle "
gurl i love your style! its refreshing to see a quilt being made with no rules and just improv and fun. only thing i want to suggest is get yourself a rotary cutter and cutting mat. a quilt warrior needs her weapons to slay 😋
Awe! You two make such a cute couple! ❤❤❤ ETA Yes; we should be friends forever!
aw hehe that's so sweet - thank you!
Super fun. I love that you used the duck fabric that was meant to be cut out, I use those kinds of stuff all the time for my quick backing, they are fun. Nice quilt. perfection is way overrated, just do what you like and don’t stress over measurements, I never do, Hope you make more.
I just loved the daffy duck fabric! So sweet! It truly is - you're right!!! Thank you for the encouragement.
Now thats how a quilt is made. Great job Carly.
I hope you're doing okay! Having to move / getting evicted / renting troubles are so so stressful and can hurt a lot. But how lovely that you got to sink into a project like this, the quilt looks marvellous.
I got a really nice sewing machine two years ago, howeveeer my flat is tiny and I literally don't have space to use it. I'm moving in September into a slightly bigger flat and I already decided on my first project: A canopy for my bed!!! So so excited!!!
The diagonal seam is to reduce bulk, and it doesn't need to be on the bias unless your quilt is rounded/scalloped. Love your quilt!
Hello Carly. This is the first video I watched on your channel. I love your quilt and really enjoyed watching you making it. Well done, it's awesome xxx
Thank you for watching!! And for your kindness.
You sew the binding together on the diagonal so that when you fold it, there aren't a bunch of overlapping seams that you have to sew through. A cute tip: During or after you sew down your binding, you can add some decorative stitches (either by hand or machine) to add more texture and whimsy! Using a contrasting thread color or floss, throwing a few large cross stitches or running stitches, a lazy daisy or whatever, every so often is super cute. Google "decorative quilt binding stitches" for inspo!
I've been quilting for over 20 years and very much enjoyed your video. You can also use fleece in place of the cotton batting or even wool. The process you took is what people in the past did.......they used whatever material they had because it was extremely expensive and nothing was wasted. For fabric when making a quilt....it is best to use 100% cotton, you can use other material but cotton is best. Your question regarding the binding.......that is to reduce the amount of bulk in the material. Do you have the Quilting Bug now? I have quilts that I have made, some from my Grandmother, my Great-grandmother and one from my Great-great-grandmother. Cherished processions!
I make "traditional" sort of quilt blocks, with precise measurements, painstaking quarter-inch seams, and lots of planning. This chaotic business actually made my pulse race with fear and excitement. It's like learning a language, then someone walks in speaking a fancy new version of that language that you somehow understand.
Quilter tips! Don’t worry about “squaring up”, other than maybe just the corners so the binding goes on nicely. I’d call it backing, not lining. You can pull your knots through the fabric so it’s hidden. We call it burying a knot. There’s also the quilters knot to make the knots easier to make!
I always join binding on the diagonal because it spreads out the seam bulk when you sew it on.
I love this. It’s amazing
YOU'RE SO SMART!!!!!! I'm so happy to know this information!!!
👏👏👏😍
“I’m shocked because I didn’t feel I could do this for some reason”: this sums my own 1st quilt journey!
What a JOY to discover your project and intake on your creation process ! Looking forward for what is coming up!
Actually, truly love your organic aesthetic.
Love that "crazy" quilt! So unique
Not me watching this and immediately wanting to start just patch working based off my scraps.... :) lol
YES THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU SHOULD DO!!!!! (patchworking is the best)
I love bamboo batting for a warmer Aussie climate. It's anti bacterial / antimicrobial and always the perfect temp for a QLD winter.
I love your videos so much Carly! You’re the reason I started a sewing channel🥰🩷
Aw thank you so much mate - means a lot! Oh congratulations - that's amazing!!!!
subscribed!
@@fromcarlyb omg thank you so much😊
Bravo! 👏🏼 Next time you might try fusible batting for making the quilt sandwich. BTW, all battings/waddings have a recommended stitch guideline (usually around 4”) and that guideline should be followed so the batting maintains it’s place during use and laundering. When hand-stitching, it’s important to stitch even closer together since you have fewer anchor points than when you sew by machine. Happy Quilting! Steph
I love milanote! i use it mainly for shotlists/storyboarding long form content for work but you inspired me to start using it for my own creative projects! 💓💓
Love the colours on both sides, it’s awesome. I am busy doing EPP at the moment during the evenings. But have also built up a stash for machine patchwork to do during the day, as I have finished knitting bedsocks for this year. Much love from Torbay, North Shote, Auckland, New Zealand
You are a real doll I love your quilt! I’m a huge fan of scrappy! Keep up the great content! I’m a subscriber now🥰🥰
It turned out absolutely amazing 😍 you dont have to make bias binding since you are not binding a curve ☺️ when you are hand stitching like that look up sashiko techniques or thimbles to save your hands 😊
I love your videos so much! What an incredible feat to make a quilt so quickly and it turned out beautiful! You inspired me to try and make one too!
Aw thank you so much! I hope it goes well if you decide to take the plunge - I already am thinking about my next one hahaha!!
You can lay your binding pieces perpendicular and sew corner to corner on the diagonal then just trim off the remaining triangle. That way you don’t have to cut that biased edge and sew afterwards.
FANTASTIC!!!
I Love this quilt ❤ I really enjoy making a scrappy quilt when my scrap pile gets too big. It’s so much fun.
BTW. The weather in Australian winter seems similar to German summer judging by the summer clothes you wear outside 😅
Thank you so much!!! The BEST way to reduce the old scrap pile. hahahahah it is VERY MILD winter here in Brisbane - quite delightful on a sunny day!
I enjjoyed you so much. You are a breath of fresh air and I can't wait to see what your next project is.
this quilt turned out sooo….SPECTACULAR!!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
Hi Carly, first time watching and you are such a cutie, love your personality! I’m a quilter and I love your organic first quilt, beautiful! Looking forward to scroll through your videos. “I’ll take 14 of those”!😂
Thanks for mentioning Milanote! It’s what I’ve been looking for.
What a darling quilt. I hope you make another one soon
Thank you so much!!
How adorable this quilt is!!!
Okay seeing how simple and kind of easy this was for you, I am definitely inspired to make my friend a baby blanket
Oh a wonderful idea!!!!!! Good luck friend!
Your quilt looks great and you did AMAZING for 4 days. My fave part is that curved bit. I love curves in quilts but am daunted by the process. The first quilt I made I hand sewed stitching 1 inch apart and then around each pattern (pinwheel design) and it took me months.
A couple tips: the reason you had bunching on the back probably is when you were making your quilt sandwich. Pin basting can be fiddly and it needs to be absolutely flat. I’ve watched some videos about glue basting which is using washable school glue to seal the layers together perfectly and it looks waaaayy better. And then the glue gets washed out. That’s what I’m going to use on my next quilt which is a king size green scrappy one.
Also I saw you knotted your hand sewing thread on the outside. Usually hand quilting you make a knot and then keep the thread on the needle and pull it through the fabric which embeds the knot in the wadding. So your knot is secure and invisible. Maybe the crochet thread was too thick to do that though.
Also for backing I use a thrifted sheet and goes well with the colors or design. It saves soooo much money and is a seamless back. The second quilt I made I paid $120 just for the floral backing fabric and I said never again!
aw thank you so much!!! i think so too , although it took so much longer hahah. WOW THAT SOUNDS AMAZING!!! It must have taken sooo much effort. Thank you for all the tips & education - I appreicate it SO much.
I’m OBSESSED 🥰 and that green is perfect!
thank you so much!!!!
I love every project you make. Your work is so beautiful ❤
The quilt turned out great! The little teddy bear piece is my favourite, so cute!
Wow it’s great !! Well done. Have a fabulous Friday ❤️❤️
I love making quilts! I have only made 3 and I learn something new every time!! I am actually 3 whole babies/children behind, two nieces and one very good friend. This was a great reminder that I need to get on them if I want any of the kiddos to have them before they’re teenagers and 😂😂😂. This was so fun to watch. The only recommendation I was going to have was using safety pins and you already did that! I also don’t know why the binding is in the bias, but I just do as the quilting goddesses demand😊
I made my first quilt this past week as well! Still working on the hand quilting but very much enjoying the slow pace. Also can’t wait to see what you’ve been draping! Love from West Texas
The diagonal seam for the binding is to reduce the bulk of the seam so it is not all at one point. Straight cut binding is a more practical use of fabric and bias binding is only needed when there are curves in the edge of the quilt.
This video came to me at the perfect time - I am about to make my own quilted bathrobe. Going to hand quilt it too. Wish me luck!
Also your quilt looks amazing!
This quilt is slay 💅 every day 💃🏼✨
Beautiful quilt 😍
Your quilt turned out great! I’m glad you got yourself a thimble for this project.
I just moved and am currently putting my crafting room back together before I can get back to making stuff. I have too many ideas and can’t decide what I want my first project in the new space to be. 😅
Bias binding stretches more, and it has more threads that cross over the edge of the quilt, so it’s supposedly stronger. I’m a improv quilter, who designs as I go, so I loved that you just let yourself play! Trusting your creative instincts (and being free to find the joy in it) is the hardest thing to teach someone. I also love that you didn’t care about squaring it up. You’re right, you don’t have to, it’s your quilt! Brilliant!
The bunching comes from the fabric being stretched too much, and not ironed flat as you went. With quilting problems tend to snowball. Then you’ll see issues like bunching or it not being flat when you get to the quilting. Lots of bias in any type of curve. Mixing fabric types can cause warping too. 100% cotton is the ‘go to’ typically for quilters 😉.
You just have to decide what matters to you and what doesn’t and you’re very good at that. I think it’s very fun and pretty and it was fun to see you dive in!
This is my first time on your channel. You are literally adorable. Subbing just for dimples 😍
Great job! Love your devil may care attitude. Thats free spirited, fun. A good thing. Didn't know if you have that saying in AUS.
You are amazing! Love watching your videos!
Thanx for doing this video and just going for it. I have always wanted to make a quilt but I find people make it sound super difficult and technical which I mean it can be if you want to do it super perfectly.
I'm currently working on patchwork patches for jeans shorts that have a hole in the inner thigh area. I'm also going to place patches all around the shorts not just covering the hole.
love it!!! sounds like they are getting a super fun upgrade!!
Love your quilt! Very ambitus, I have some vintage quilts and your quilt give that vib.
Perhaps a little TOO ambitious haha!! Oh well sometimes you just have to dive straight in! How lovely to own some vintage quilts!!
@@fromcarlyb They were made by my mom and some she bought while she was with us, so very special to me.
As a Brisvegas resident I feel your residential shambling 😬 If you’re on the Northside I can 10/10 recommend The Nest Community- an op shop for sewing and yarn supplies! Blew my mind 😆
OMG You are a mini me! All the machines lined up and the bags of scraps!! Haha never loose your fun and keep quilting!
I love your New Yorker Italian American accent 😂I am currently working on fixing some pockets on some pants I made and drafting a gaming pillow for my love!
hahahaha THANK YOU !! oh i hope it all goes so well!!!
Your blouse is gorgeous!🖤
I’m so excited for this video! I just found you recently and I LOVE your channel. I finished my very first wearable project with your vids :)
Aw thank you mate! That's SO sweet. OH YAY!!!! That makes me so happy! What did you make?
@@fromcarlyb I made a babydoll Cecilie benson inspired matching set. I really wanted to make that one top Ariana grande wore by them so I did! but with sleeves. I made sure to enjoy the process and not rush, and it was really fun. Now I want to make a bubble skirt and a dress ahh so exciting! XD
I love your glasses! they the colour and shape are amazing and they look so good on you
and your quilt came out gorgeous! i love the horse pieces and the frog piece
I'm currently making my husband and toddler matching summer shorts from some op shop striped fabric. Very fun. Very wholesome ❤
!!!! aw that is just adorable. i hope it goes well!
1:39 look at that pinch 👌🏻😂 I knew I knew
Making a rainbow themed quilt at the moment Carly. Handstitching and having a fabulous time.
Ok...gosh darnit...I'll make a quilt! :)
yayyyyyyyy!!!!!
You are hysterical!!
I absolutely love this and would love to try it. I think I would try to make one of the tshirt quilts. Thank you so much for the inspiration.
Lovely! well done!
You are the first person to ever make sense of sewing binding to me. 😂 amazing.
Looks great.
I just finished a quilt for the first time as well and I felt every road block you came across so hard!!! incredible work; as always, I am thoroughly impressed
I'm currently working on making some decorative bunting for parties
I started a hand sewn quilt like three years ago and haven’t picked it up in ages. But this is so cool! I think I need to dig it out again!!
YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!! Imagine the feeling you'll have when you finish it!!!!! I'm cheering for you
@@fromcarlybthanks! I’m gonna pull it out this weekend!
You’re wild!! 4 days?? My teacher in school said that bias binding can be a stronger choice for binding a quilt because if a thread unravels it’s not parallel to the stitch holding it together. But bias can get annoying and stretch and torque as you go too. The only time I used poly batting for a quilt I ended up with a quilt that doesn’t hold in body heat which SUCKS unless it’s really hot then it’s the best. Cotton for the win. Also washing your quilt can help it become puffy in pretty ways but be careful cuz fabrics can bleed. Done that before!
