Quilting tutorials showing how to make a quilt including choosing fabrics and binding, nesting seams, basting, binding, quilting and more!
Hello again! This is Hetal from Itty Bitty Handmade. In our last guest post we taught you how to do the easy quilt basting method that’s used in our baby quilt kits (read to the end for a limited-time coupon code). This time, we’ll show you a hassle free way to bind a quilt.
This may not be a traditional quilt block, but I think it’s a new classic! Have you sewn a hashtag quilt block yet? It’s so easy, you have to add this to your sampler quilt.
And… did you see the Jumbo Hashtag Quilt Pattern that I made with a bigger version of this blog? Don’t miss it!
The easy Bow Tie Quilt Block is so fun to make – and it’s perfect when you want to make a baby quilt for a boy or a girl!
Learn how to sew a darling Pinwheel Mini Quilt Pattern made entirely from half-square triangles! Let’s talk about color value. Harnessing the power of color value can make key elements in your quilts really pop! It can make your quilts…
Would you like to know how to bind your quilt with your sewing machine? Let me show you all my tricks. As I have grown to love modern quilts, and as the time I have to make them has become less and less – I opt to sew my quilt binding on all by machine now – and it looks beautiful!
So who wants to design their own mini quilt? Mini’s are so much fun. They are quick to piece together, way easier to quilt than even a lap-size quilt, and they make truly memorable gifts (if you can bear to give yours away).
Is it really May already? I’m ready to go to the beach! I already have my beach house, lol! Our Classic Block: Fresh Fabric sewalong block this month is the House Block. It’s a classic block that quilters have made a million different ways. If you sewalong with us you can make any house block you want, and you might just win a sweet bundle of fabric!
Guess what??? Boys can sew too! You just need to find the right way to help them love it.
My little guy is really an engineer at heart, so when he saw me sewing half square triangles and flying geese using the stitch-then-cut method for our Sailboat Block Tutorial, he was fascinated. He had a whole new appreciation for quilt making once he realized that it requires BRAINS, lol.
You can sew the one of the oldest, sweetest quilt blocks around with my easy photo tutorial. The 9 Patch Block is a beloved favorite of quilters everywhere.
I’ve been counting the days until I could share this month’s Classic Blocks: Fresh Fabrics tutorial and giveaway with you! All because of the fabric Blend sent for us to use this month… the delightful collection ‘The Makers’ from Cori Dantini. It includes several panel prints with lovely ‘Makers’ sewing, knitting, and painting. They are so pretty and cinderella-ish. And the block that I chose for us to make this month – the Economy Block – is perfect for using fussy cut squares from your favorite fabrics.
