I had to learn to give some of my quilts away (it took a therapist). And I’m getting older and running out of room. So my daughter’s college friends are getting married or establishing households so I have gifted them. We take a pic of three we think may work and let them choose. 4 so far, a new generation enjoying quilts. And my oldest friend and her mother that has severe dementia now but still remembers me with a smile when she touches the quilt. And my 3 high school forever friends and their spouses/significant others (separate quilts). And others. It has become fun and allows me to step outside my comfort zone with pattern and color.
I give away practically every quilt I make. I just don’t need many myself. But I am excited that I’ll be able enjoy the last “favorite” quilt I made… it’s for my son and daughter-in-law’s in-law suite! Lol… it was beautiful to sleep under. 💚
I have never made a quilt for myself. I have collected fabric to make several but I have only made quilts for family and friends kids and grandkids. I have a projects list of quilts to make, and cross stitch’s for friends listed for each month from now until December. I had a conversation with myself and realized I work a lot and I live alone with 2 kitties and I do not have anyone to cuddle with. I am not dating nor have anyone whom seems interested in me in that way. I was recently told by an old friend that I have no life because I am single. WOW!!! That really hurt!!! However, you have inspired me to start a quilt before the end of the year for myself. And, I started praying for someone to come into my life. You and your husband make an adorable couple!!! Your friends will love their quilt!! 💕
Love it! I would never have thought of using the flannel inside with the minky backing. It really worked out. I am now rethinking the quilt I promised my brother and his wife.
This quilt would be perfect for my sister. She recently redid her living room in grey and white and recently added area rugs that has some turquoise. Will have to think about doing one for her. It is beautiful! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's one of your favorites because you know you have to give it away! I know their colors were gray/white but now was the time to use that hideous 70s floral print you had laying around... I know you do...
At age 68 now, it feels like I want easy peasy. For example, I loved your original large block of strips before cutting it up. Lazy me says, make big blocks of strip sets. You did such a nice job on this beautiful quilt. Thank you....I surprised myself and gave one of my quilts to a dear friend recently.
Good thing my husband doesn't watch my special quilting channels. You are an inspiration. I have been putting off hemming a pair of jeans for my husband. A quilt. Oh my. Love the quilt. I know your husband must have something special planned for you.
I think we have a new product here…”the Quilky”! All of the vintage heritage of quilting a blanket for your family with the snuggability of the modern day throw! I like it!
Most of the quilts I make are to give away for Hospice so I don't really have an attachment to them. However, quilts I've made for myself earlier are precious to me and would be tough to give away. Thankfully my children will get them when I go to glory ❤. I love this pattern, Tracy, really well done!!
That is so awesome that you give your quilts to hospice… Such a great cause❣️ most of my quilts will also be handed down to my children and grandchildren eventually♥️
I love how you created such an amazing quilt so quickly. The use of the pelon vs the press-and-seal is such a better option. And minky binding is perfect!
yes! the lightweight stretch interfacing was a game changer for needing to be quick with minky. The best part is....it stays in the quilt...no picking out press n seal.
Ok, this video finally convinced me. I'm going to make a lap throw quilt and use the flannel and minky and minky binding. If that goes as well as yours I may do all my future quilts that way. It just looks so wonderfully soft and drapy. I hope you make a quilt like this for yourself soon. And thank you for the picture!
Yes...you need to do this....❣ If you look back in my videos I did a series on a 4 patch pink quilt that I made the same as this one...and it is my favorite...so I know this combo works!!!!!
I got the fabric and pattern for a quilt for our nephew and his wife. Hubby came into the sewing room, he said we can’t give that one away. We now have another quilt and I still have to make one for our nephew.
What a beautiful quilt! I will try that fusible when making scrappy donation quilts to stabilize the edges before layering to quilt. Thanks for this tutorial! 💕🧵🌸👏👏
Amazon used to sell GET THIS: 20 fat quarters from Free Spirit for $22-24 dollars. Well, I bought SEVERAL. I received Anna Marie Horner's collection of beautiful desaturated colors. I made a quilt with them. Desaturated colors/monochromatic are soothing to the eye. Thanks for demonstrating this.
When you said you loved the quilt, I hollered, "But you have to give it away!" I know how you feel, though. While I have several to give away or sell, I have a few that are mine. The Scrap Berry quilt is mine! That one is too precious. I like this grey one. I'm going to have to go through my slowly growing stash to figure out what color I want to try.
I couldn’t possibly keep all the quilts I make. I love to give them away and know they will be used and enjoyed by the recipients. I do keep some of course. And I keep photos of them all. So much easier to store a photo.
I’m with you I’m happy to make something to gift but don’t ask me to give away a quilt I was expecting to keep. The quilt looks great. It’s really helpful to know how to make a quick quilt.
I love that quilt,my hubby been asking when he gets his own quilt.i love the gray,but I think I'm going blues to match his beautiful eyes 😍 thanks for allvyour tutorials I get so much information.
I thought I was one of a very few quilters that keep their quilts. I also have no problem gifting my quilts if I made it for a specific person or event but the ones I make for fun or when creative juices are flowing are still in my house. Glad you and I are in the same "mine, mine, mine" club. Great tutorial again, thanks
Thanks for another great video Tracy. Love the monochromatic quilt can’t imagine the doing it quilt that fast have a great rest of your weekend. Suzanne
I agree! This turned out to be a beautiful quilt! Someday I am going to totally copy this. Ithink I already have the grays & whites I'll need. Thank you!
It was great seeing a photo of your hubby!!! Seeing the pic really personalized your channel! Love the quilt! His cousins will love it, I'm certain!!! Agree about hesitating to part with quilts. I have same maternal feeling about them sometimes LOL. But after a couple years I begin to be able to part with them. We can't take them with us when we die, so I limit myself to a certain number of them and then think about who they should go to when the Lord takes me home.
Right...there is a maternal factor there for sure....so weird that it's like that...I think it's because we work so intimately with the fabric when we make it.🩶 I agree..we can't take it with us...blessing someone with a homemade quilt does the heart good too❣
I am in awe of you. You’re one classy and gracious lady. Of course, once again I have gotten inspired. Even when you’re in a hurry you take the time to give helpful advice. TFS.
That is one nice monochromatic beauty, Tracy! Thank you for sharing all your tips and tricks and teaching us that sometimes going the road less traveled leads to wonderful creations. ❤❤❤
Beautiful colorway, great job. I only have 2 quilts I made, a QOV for my husband and a reject that my husband made no comment on when I showed him. The rest have been made for friends and family.
My husband told me once that I should sell some of my quilts bc I had so many! I only have 10 but they’re all HAND QUILTED!!! Are you serious I asked! He said yeah I said heck no! Never!!! Is he crazy!??? LoL they just don’t get it! I told him my quilts are all going to the kids and he said well don’t wait till you’re gone give them what you want them to have so they won’t have to fight over them. I said good idea I’ll make each one their OWN quilt but they’re not getting any of mine until I’m gone! 😂 So I took his advice and started making my 3 boys and my 7 grandchildren their own quilt! I only have 3 tops done so far with many more to go and I will quilt them on my Janome HD9 machine I just purchased 🥰 Your quilt is lovely especially with that beautiful minky on the back! It’s just yummy I’m gonna make one for myself with some minky! I should have put minky on the lap quilt I made for myself using feedsack fabrics and I’m hand quilting it also! I love hand quilting but I can’t hand quilt one to give away I just can’t 😂😍 Thank you for sharing all your inspirations 💞
Tracy, it turned out very nice. So many people like neutrals for their home decor. I’m sure this quilt will be a huge hit with the Cousins! ps your hubby is a cutie!
I love, love the word you use, “nuggy❣️” you’ve expanded my quilt vocabulary 😂❣️ This quilt was fast, scrappy and monochromatic! It will be loved for sure😍 Thanks for the great video and idea😊❤️🐥
Love watching your videos. You remind me so much of one of my very vest friends. I just listen and watch and think wow they sound n look so much alike.
Love this quilt! And i have decided to make one similar. Today is the day. Thank you for all the lovely shares you do, and the detailed instructions. :)
Wow! I'm so happy I caught your tutorial today! I'm just about to back a baby quilt with minky and I haven't ever tried it before. That said, I'm going to try a minky binding now too. Thanks for sharing that fusible tip too! I'm over the moon!!!❤🎉❤
I have only ever kept my very first quilt that I made 4+ years ago. Everything else from wedding quilts, graduation quilts, baby quilt, Christmas quilts and table toppers I have given away. Maybe it's time I made myself another quilt. hmmmm.
Excellent video. Beautiful quilt. I haven’t used minky yet but definitely want to. This video helped with my decision on it. I will be trying your method on a quilt. Thank you for sharing your time and expertise.
Working with minky is not that difficult...I kept trying minky until I got it right...this combo in this video is perfect. Maybe try a baby quilt first until you feel confident. Thank you for supporting my video🩶
@@TheSewingChannel Do we really have to discuss the list or the UFO’s??? 🤣 I can’t help it, I love everything you turn out! So off I go on to another 16” x 16” x 4” clear bin. But hey they are marked & all in the works. Yes, I start a new one every time you turn out an adorable quilt! But believe or not I get to rotate because I always try to finish my top one (oldest one in the stack). This is my Tracy quilt organizer😁 and it works for me. Believe it or not some times I have two empty ones just happily waiting on Tracy yummy quilts. Can you believe it. My absolute most favorite that I continue to add to which I had to give it a larger bin is the solid white FMQ Sampler Quilt Blocks. I love that one so much, As soon as I get it put together. I am starting another one. But I am thinking this will be the new and improved Glenda stitching! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha! I’ve kept all the quilts I’ve made ( well only 5). I’m way too attached to them. I have however made quilts to give to someone but I bought the fabric for that intention! Makes a big difference when you give a quilt away! 😅 Don’t you feel like a Picasso or a Monet when asked to make/giveaway a masterpiece. Hubby is clearly proud of you and your accomplishments.
I’m just like you! It is too hard to part with my quilts - they each hold a piece of my heart. If I know I’m giving it away from the beginning, I can usually give it away. But those quilts are few and far between. Having said that, I have given many quilts away, especially for charity. (I love the sound of your machine.)
Yep; it definitely makes a difference if you know ahead of time you will be giving a quilt away! Not allowing yourself to become too attached, to begin with, and thinking of what colors/theme/design they will appreciate, while you’re making it, as well as the delight of them receiving it, certainly makes it easier to part with once finished! But one you’re already attached to??? Shock/fight or flight/terror!!! 😱 I wd absolutely prefer making another to give as a gift!!!
I love this gray and white quilt. You should probably make another one. We LOVE watching you and I would watch you making a second one for sure. It’s beautiful absolutely stunning.
Wonderful quick method and a great result. Like you, I get attached to my quilts and it's hard to part with them. I can't store them all, let alone use them all! So I am getting better at 'letting go.' I keep them for a year or two, and then I'm ready to send them out into the world.
It’s so true, we can’t hold onto all of them! I do end up giving most away, but I typically know ahead of time that they’re leaving the house lol so no time to get attachedHaha😆
You hit a home run with this one. I'm going to have my sewing class do this pattern for their service project this year. I teach kids beginning sewing class after-school programs. They will love this one. I have my scraps for them to use in my classes. This will be sew fun. 🎉

I appreciate your humanity in quilting. Thank you 🙏.
I give away 99% of my quilts to Project Linus. I feel that love & loss each time. Sweet quilt gift.
That is such a great project to be a part of ❣
Great quilt, your husband is happy his cousin will be happy and problem solved without a meltdown. 😅😅😅😅😅
Absolutely true!❣️

I love sleeping under my favorite quilt too🩶
My quilts are my children. I enjoy your channel.
I forgot to say-ill bet your husband's host was really glad he asked him to stay. Lucky family to receive such a beautiful gift😊
They still don't know about it...but soon❣️

Right!!!! And I used up a lot of what was just hanging around in my sewing room! Great way to use it all up🩶
I have so many at home I need to give them away. I love making them and giving them a good home.

YES....my heart starting beating fast as my husband was pilfering through my beloved quilts haha🤣
@@TheSewingChannel 😱
😂
Oh I really want to try the flannel with minky! It looks dreamy!!
Totally dreamy❣️
Wow!
Tracy such creativity on the fly.
My quilts are my babies, I can't pick one.
Your quilt ideas are awesome. Thank you.
How could we pick just one....true❣
Great quilt. Love it. Will give it a go for my daughter who wants a grey tone quilt. 🐝🐝🇳🇿
What a beautiful quilt! I will try that fusible when making scrappy donation quilts to stabilize the edges before layering to quilt. Thanks for this tutorial! 💕🧵🌸👏👏
You’re welcome Michelle! Happy Quilting ❣️
Nicely done!!! I can see why you didn't want to part with it after finishing. Very nice! 💜
Thank you Dori....my husband is so excited to give it to his cousins❤️
Cracked me up when you talked about not being able to give up one of your quilts. I knew exactly what you were talking about. Lol❤😊

I’ve been quilting for over 30 years and never made a quilt for myself. Every quilt I’ve ever made I gave away.

Once again another beautiful quilt
Thanks for another great video Tracy. Love the monochromatic quilt can’t imagine the doing it quilt that fast have a great rest of your weekend. Suzanne
Trust me...my sewing room is a "hot mess" due to the fast hurricane of this quilt being made hahhaha🤣
I agree! This turned out to be a beautiful quilt! Someday I am going to totally copy this. Ithink I already have the grays & whites I'll need. Thank you!
That is a fantastic quilt. Just think of all the colors you could do. Thank you .❤🐾
Tracy, let me tell you a secret. For every quilt I have sold or given away, I secretly want it back! They are so hard to part with!
So true❣️
Love a good monochromatic color scheme!!
This quilt turned out so beautifully but I'm not surprised! You rock 😀💙

Great job, Tracy! So much work goes into making a quilt,so it's very hard to part with any of them!
Ohh the quilt! The recipient scored! Fantastic job, as usual Tracy.
Thank you so much Karin❣️
I love this quilt. You are really awesome at getting your wips done. It is sure to be loved by the recipients.
I'm best under pressure haha🤣 I'm sure they will love it...❣
I watched two times, the second time making notes. I have a gazillion stips and do intend to make this but using more colors.
Using a lot more color will look so good!❣️
The quilt is amazing and so are you. That is a great design.
You are so kind Janie...thank you for the encouragement..I appreciate it so much❣️
That is one nice monochromatic beauty, Tracy! Thank you for sharing all your tips and tricks and teaching us that sometimes going the road less traveled leads to wonderful creations. ❤❤❤

Beautiful quilt. I don't like to part with mine either😊.
Beautiful quilt!!!!!!!!
Beautiful colorway, great job. I only have 2 quilts I made, a QOV for my husband and a reject that my husband made no comment on when I showed him. The rest have been made for friends and family.
So empowering..estimulant.same here...easy giving away
My husband told me once that I should sell some of my quilts bc I had so many! I only have 10 but they’re all HAND QUILTED!!! Are you serious I asked! He said yeah I said heck no! Never!!! Is he crazy!??? LoL they just don’t get it! I told him my quilts are all going to the kids and he said well don’t wait till you’re gone give them what you want them to have so they won’t have to fight over them. I said good idea I’ll make each one their OWN quilt but they’re not getting any of mine until I’m gone! 😂 So I took his advice and started making my 3 boys and my 7 grandchildren their own quilt!

I love, love the word you use, “nuggy❣️” you’ve expanded my quilt vocabulary 😂❣️ This quilt was fast, scrappy and monochromatic! It will be loved for sure😍 Thanks for the great video and idea😊❤️🐥
When my kids were little that is how we said it...haha If it ain't nuggy then my kids would never sleep with it❣
It is gorgeous! I don’t know if I could have given it up! They will cherish it I’m sure. ❤
Thank you Kathy❣️
Wow, so simple and elegant. The color and the minky gives off a winter relaxation, sit by the fire when it's snowing vibe. Love it.
YES❣️Great visual of how I'd use this quilt❣️
I love this and alternating the large squares….. perfect!!! I’m putting it in my 60by60 file to do ❤❤
I would have had a hissy fit if my husband had asked for a quilt on such short notice 😳. But.. you pulled it off beautifully. ❤
Thank you Amy❣️
I love gray so this one is really a winner for me. I will have to try minky.
Well done! What a fantastic quilt. I'm sure the recipients will be really appreciative.
Lovely quilt.
That is a beautiful quilt. Gray is not my favorite, but that is really pretty!
Beautiful absolutely love ❤️ it

But those quilts are few and far between. Having said that, I have given many quilts away, especially for charity. (I love the sound of your machine.)
Yep; it definitely makes a difference if you know ahead of time you will be giving a quilt away! Not allowing yourself to become too attached, to begin with, and thinking of what colors/theme/design they will appreciate, while you’re making it, as well as the delight of them receiving it, certainly makes it easier to part with once finished!
But one you’re already attached to??? Shock/fight or flight/terror!!! 😱 I wd absolutely prefer making another to give as a gift!!!
You are absolutely right on❣️ and YES..oh the TERROR of someone pilfering through my quilts...LOL😱
Minky binding! I’m going to try it on my next quilt.
Yea! Perfect for last minute, love it!
Beautiful! I love it! I can see how hard it would be to give it up. But I am sure your husband’s family fell in love with it too.
That quilt is gorgeous!
Awesome cute and this is a great quilt.
I love this gray and white quilt. You should probably make another one. We LOVE watching you and I would watch you making a second one for sure. It’s beautiful absolutely stunning.
Awe...thank you for the kind words Debbie❤️
Wonderful quick method and a great result. Like you, I get attached to my quilts and it's hard to part with them. I can't store them all, let alone use them all! So I am getting better at 'letting go.' I keep them for a year or two, and then I'm ready to send them out into the world.
It’s so true, we can’t hold onto all of them! I do end up giving most away, but I typically know ahead of time that they’re leaving the house lol so no time to get attachedHaha😆
You hit a home run with this one. I'm going to have my sewing class do this pattern for their service project this year. I teach kids beginning sewing class after-school programs. They will love this one. I have my scraps for them to use in my classes. This will be sew fun. 🎉
Wow..sounds so fun...be sure to send me some pics to my email when the kids finish ( thesewingchannel33@gmail.com )
Wow, what a gorgeous quilt!!!! Love the pattern idea!!! Just beautiful ❤🧵🪡✂️💕
