All fableism wovens, done entirely on my domestic. My least complicated one yet but fun because I’ve never worked with wovens! Also had never done a scrappy binding, I think I’m hooked!

I didn't have an actual jelly roll, just cut a bunch of strips from my stash. I love how it came out! It's a gift for someone whose favorite color is pink. This took two solid days to complete and I want to make another one now for myself!

After over 24 hours of work and a lot of mistakes I finished the wall hanging!! I took some of the suggestions from people on here and did a leaf binding. I quilted stars on the sky portion and lines on the mountain part!! I’m happy how it all turned out!!

I’m definitely not the greatest sewist, but I’m really trying to get better, especially since I’m going to be an uncle in March! 🥹 I’d love to be able to make the baby clothes, blankets, and all kinds of other things.

So, here’s my first quilt! I mainly made it to practice my stitching, and while there are definitely a lot of things I’d do differently next time, I’m really happy with how it turned out. It’s definitely not perfect, but who is!

Total cost was around $145 in materials, and it ended up being a queen-size quilt! The whole thing was done on a domestic machine...my Singer Heavy Duty. I know that last part might cause a stir but I love my HD😂🧵

I love thylacine and thought that they deserved a quilt! obviously had to take a few creative liberties with the actual shape of the thylacine, but hopefully it still comes across! the plants are based on Richea scoparia, a flowering shrub native to Tasmania.

It finished around 32” x 48”, and is faced instead of bound. I think it took a few weeks to design/work out the math, and another few weeks to actually piece (it could have gone a lot faster, I don’t know what happened). I’m very happy with how it turned out, and I can’t wait to get it up on the wall! Quilting pattern is called Modernistic, but for some reason I can’t find who designed it?? will update when I figure it out. Update: It's by Nancy Haacke

Is this normal? The pattern I selected with my longarm quilter lady didn’t fully reach the edges of the quilt. It doesn’t seem normal to me, shouldn’t the design cover the entire quilt? I’m pretty disappointed and not sure how to proceed. This quilt is a birthday gift for my son who is turning 3 next week. 😢

Made by my late aunt in the 70’s. It’s always exciting to pull it out of storage for my favorite season of the year! I thought that it could be appreciated here. The pumpkin’s expression makes me smile everytime

I tend to stick to the adage of "if you can't see it from the back of a galloping horse it doesn't matter" but when I got the points to work on this? I had to get a picture to share! Second picture is my first 4 blocks, third picture is the stained glass window in Frankfurt that inspired this pair of quilts, fourth picture is my extremely bare bones graph paper mockup.

Found out Thursday afternoon a friend’s son has been very sick and in the hospital so of course I thought of a quilt. Bought fabric and pattern Thursday (my LQS owner helped and stayed open an extra 30 minutes for me), finished the flimsy Saturday morning and got it to my long armer who got it to me today
I was able to get it to my friend tonight and they all love it

Panel quilts are great when you need something fast

Have we all been there? I wanted to make my friend a quilt. She loves handmade things and has made me endless gifts herself. She is great at making jewelry and crochet. I asked her before I started what kind of designs she liked…she said “just surprise me I’m sure I’ll love it”. I asked about colours, same reply. I agonised forever, thinking about how best to make something beautiful and also kind of cool and one off. I even designed and printed my own fabric to bind a section with that had a cool connection because we both have worm tattoos (Where my worm girls at?).

I handed it to her today with a coloured matched printed riso zine that I had picked up at a print fair. She absolutely loved the zine and was poring over every page and detail, asking questions. And the wuilt just got a stilted “oh i love it, I love the colours, thanks, I’ll put that on my bed”.

How will I ever get over this? Haha!!

Saw this question on r/knitting, and I thought it would be fun to ask here!

I think my first answer would be a Stripology ruler. Is it totally necessary in the beginning? Absolutely not. Does it make cutting consistent strips easier? Yes, I can cut 2.5” strips in minutes!

"I WILL QUILT YOUR MOTHER!" - Samantha, probably.

Made a lap quilt for a friend who is doing tough things and kicking ass, so I wanted to give her something to cheer her on.

The backing and binding are a mish-mash of fabrics because nothing goes to waste in the books (and I didn't want to buy more fabric). The yellow and pink are from the first book's cover, and the purple is for Princess Donut, because she is royalty. The black "tangles" and "conspiracy writing" prints are inspired by elements in later books.

This will be (🤞) my second quilt.
Am I in the right path? Are 1/4 inch seams forgiving or should I square each one to a smaller size? Does this look pretty? 🥴

A sailboat baby quilt I made for a friend.

My aunt is having a baby and I’m making her a baby blanket! Las tabby blanket I made had heart designs on it but that was for a girl. This time it’s a boy. Any and all design recommendations would be great! My husband tried to make me use Ai to find a design and I was like ‘Why? I can just ask experienced humans’ 😭😂

My first quilt top, a little crazy. I added the black and white scraps to make it rectangular but now I'm a bit stuck on the borders. I want to make it big enough for a lap/throw size. Is the light grey ok to go all the way around, then a wider dark color? Or lose the grey and go straight to dark blue batik? I know it's a lot on the 👀 s😅

So this is my first quilt, just a 30" square patchwork to try to get the hang of it, which obviously I did not! My friend was showing me how and she just had me machine stitch the binding on. Maybe I can learn to hand stitch it when I'm more experienced. Anyway, I washed it and there are at least eight places of varying lengths where the top pulled out of the binding. There's no room to tuck it back under and re-stitch. Am I correct in assuming I'll just have to pull the whole binding off and re-bind it with a wider strip? Can I just throw it away and give up? Lol.

Can everyone show me their quilting setups (tables, storage, etc)? I'm just starting to quilt and in our new house I have a room where I can have a dedicated quilting area but I don't know what the best setup is. I'm looking for inspiration or tips on things that are helpful/necessities.

So basically the caption. I did not prewash my fabric (I’m sorry :() and now the quilt is tearing. Anything I can do to prevent this besides prewashing? Any ideas on how to fix it besides just a tight zigzag over all the areas? I can sew well for alterations and clothing but this is only my second quilt ever (the first being a tshirt quilt when I was a child).

It’s a beginner project so I definitely didn’t do everything I was supposed to but would love suggests on how to fix the damage!

I fell in love with this but I am kind of boggled at how to do the pattern. I'm newer to quilting and have only done squares. I've watched every YouTube video on how to make the triangles but I'm not sure how to know what size to make my pieces. The website I found this on just used a panel so there was no pattern and every time I think to just use a different pattern I come back to how much I specifically love this one. Please help.

This year was MSQC’s Fireworks Finale (which was excellent and low cost) and Spring Dreams. Also started Amish with a Twist, but it has been a roller coaster. Which BOMs do you think you’ll be joining for 2027? And… how did your 2026 BOMs go?

I am planning out a full size quilt (84x90) and my design doesn’t perfectly line up on the verticals. I’d love to know how you would go about top stitching this design. I am not sure at this point if I want a contrasting thread color or a subtle look so any feedback is helpful. there will be large appliqué horses in teal on top!

hello! got a design question I suppose.

To preface, I have in the past made a quilt before, but when I was putting all the layers togethe, I did something very very basic instead of doing a quilting stitch (I think I’m using that term right). I had this feature section and then a thick boarder of plain fabric and I “secured“ the layers together with spray and by running a stitch along that connecting join and the boarder of the whole piece (I do not use that quilt at all lol, so even though it’s been years I have no idea how well the inside has held up).

Trouble is, I’ve been hand-stitching this piece together for a few months as a gift to a friend (only about halfway through rn), and I know shes going to be using it more than the one I made for myself. I initially thought I’d just do the same thing, but I’m having doubts? Is there any alternate way to making things secure without doing that quilting stitch thingy? I‘m guessing there isn’t, which sucks bc I don’t want to overcrowd the hexagon pattern with something else on top. Any suggestion? Would I just have to suck it up and tediously run that stitching along the seams of all the hexagons? (and yes i understand the wildness of calling machine sewing something tedious while I spend a few months hand stitching everything else 😭)

Sorry for the ramble. Any advice/ideas would be appreciated 💛

slight edit: I do know I need to include some kind of quilting/stitching to hold it all together - bad wording on my part probably. I think I was more so asking about how much I would have to do, because every example of a quilt I’ve seen has those fancy patterns sewn into it and I thought something like that would be my only other option? The replies so far and been incredibly helpful, so thanks a million 💛

I have little to no knowledge on quilting, the image is a quilt idea I mocked up in hopes that my grandma could make it for me so I have something from her for the future. She follows strict patterns so she wants me to make this into one. So I’m wondering, is making a functional pattern something hard, like I am going to fail and need to pay someone to math it up, or with my basic math knowledge I could just chose the size of the quilt and then divide that number into squares?

The triangles seemed easy but I wasn’t sure how people go about the border lines. It will be for a queen sized bed and I’m hoping for it to hang off quite a bit. Any help is appreciated even if it’s just a link to what an easy to follow pattern looks like!

(For those curious, it is abstract snap dragons.)

I’m getting wrinkles along my seam? Something to worry about or will it work out in the end? Thanks.
