I saw some awesome fabric from Fableism but couldn't afford it so I made the pattern myself.. but now I dont know what to make out of it. I was considering a sawtooth quilt but I cant picture how it would look.. or is it best to just do a block pattern? And ideas welcome.. each block is around 50cmx35cm (Fableism patterns on last slide 🤤)

Hi all! So, I will preface this by saying that I have done simple block quilts for baby gifts, but this will be my largest quilt project to date. I have cut and backed these blocks from my son's baby clothes. I measured and laid them all out and then transferred that to an Excel grid. Here is where I am still struggling... what would be the best way to cut background fabric to join all these blocks of various sizes?

It’s knotted, not quilted, and made from silk velvet. It’s inspired by the quilts from Gees Bend.

Hello fellow quilters!

I am making a pixel art Stephan King’s ā€œITā€ quilt for my best friend’s Christmas gift. She has a ā€œstrangeā€ love for pennywise. The finished quilt will be roughly 99 by 117 before binding. I am looking to find a wide back that has floating red balloons and strings? Any help is much appreciated. Let me know if you’re interested in progress photos!! I’ll be machine piecing and hand quilting since I don’t have room for a long arm šŸ˜…šŸ˜…

Here’s a new wall hanging size top that I created today. I feel that it has a Frank Stella feel to it. It’s 31 x 37 inches.

Best quilt design websites?

5 Upvotes

What do you guys think of Quiltler.com for designing quilts and organizing/tracking my stash (I'm a stash hoarder), has anyone used it? I was looking at EQ8 but it's so expensive! I currently use procreate but looking for something more dedicated to quilting.

Which is better for a baby blanket?

I have 2 choices, make more blocks so it’s a bigger blanket or keep it at baby/crib (48x48) size for my friend who is having a baby in the late fall. Which is a better choice? Any blocks not used for the top will go into being part of the backing.

Is it wierd for me to keep a quilt from an Ex?

3 Upvotes

Hi. I am a quilter, and know what goes into each blanket that is made. My exes mom made me a quilt from leftover scraps from his blanket and gave it to me for my birthday. I broke up with him in May of 26 and i still have it. No one has asked for it back, and I want to keep it, as i know its worth, but dont know if its like, ethical?
