The autumn forest quilt. With lots of close ups of the quilt and the process. Still one of my favourite quilts. I like how the blocks are different sizes and it means I was able to do more of an overall design than nine individual designs. (Though I do also really like that style as well, but more ways of doing things is always nice!)

Done and displayed!

I learned so much about basting and quilting by completing this quilt with an experienced teacher.

Making this for my neighbor for Christmas, I am a beginner and want to quilt this using my poolin EOC02. I’m thinking using a red thread on top and maybe green on the back? The back is the same as the white sparkles, just snowflakes instead of sparkles. How should I quilt it? Criss cross? Up and down 1 in apart? 3 in apart? Help!

All done! Currently stitching the binding down, but that doesn't really count. These two were my first proper attempts at FMQ, so be gentle!

This is my first quilt I’ve ever made it was a lot of fun and is definitely gonna be my new hobby, my next one I want to make it brighter patterns and lots of colours if any one knows a cute pattern please let me know😁

Pics 1,2&3 are the first one

Pics 4,5,6 are the second

Pics 7-11 are the third

12-15 are the fourth

And 16-17 are the fifth

thanks!

This is only my second quilt top, both of the same pattern, and each time I’ve had issues with the squares not lining up when I stitch the rows together. I don’t know why that’s happening or how to fix it. They always line up at the end so I don’t understand why some squares in the middle are so drastically off. I even triple checked my cutting. How should I quilt this to make it look okay with the disjointed squares?

Since I totally screwed up the cutting on my last quilting attempt I am giving myself anxiety about cutting diamonds for a lonestar quilt.

Per the instructions, I cut the rough edges off my strip set and we getting ready to start cutting out my diamonds.... but I cant help but think that the angle isn't sharp enough.

I dont want to waste my fabric again. Am I doing this right? I've been watching tutorials on 45° angles all day and I swear I'm doing it right but it still looks so wrong.

I’ve been blessed with the lack of tension issues in my quilting career so far. I am quilting with a walking foot on my singer heavy duty. First my back thread was showing the top thread and was basically a straight line of thread. I always forget which direction to go with my tension number. A quick google search told me to turn the number down. I went from 4 to just above 2 and that fixed the straight back thread issue. Now my back thread feels very tight. So tight that if I pull the quilt, the back thread snaps.

Is this a bad thread issue (this is fairly new Guterman quilting cotton thread from Michael’s)? Or a tension issue (feels weird to keep going lower than 2)?

I’m also going to change my bobbin, needle, and rethread in case it’s one of those “simple” fixes. Any help or advice would be appreciated!

It’s Suzy Quilts Starling Pattern, and it’s my first quilt using more complex blocks, not just 5” squares. I’m so happy and proud, my husband took the photos 🥹🤍

I am a digital illustrator and have been fed up with ai lately that I got a sewing machine I want to be able to create with my hands and it’s always been a dream of mine to make a quilt. I just got a sewing machine and practice sewing yesterday I was so proud I was able to set it up by myself. I don’t have any friends that sew and would love any advice or book recommendations , YouTube channels or even things to practice? Everything in this channel looks incredible and I hope one day soon I’ll be able to show off a quilt I created!

Self Portrait(still untitled), 2026, 93"x 98", mixed with new and reclaimed textiles on felt.

I just finished this one up. I hear we're just covering things in gold these days. Am I powerful yet?

Taking suggestions on how I could quilt it!
It’s gonna be a wall hanging, with a pink and/or orange border

Edit: wow, thank you for all the lovely comments! really appreciate it <3

I wanted to at least get the top pieced and out of the way before I have to make Halloween costumes for the kids. I really like how it turned out but trimming the HSTs seams pressed open (per instructions) was a total pain!

FYI the pattern is Hello Summer by Sarah Made, but made with the Christmas themed kit.

Rainbow themed quilt top. Now to make the back. When i make the back, it'll have a quilt center and thick light blue borders. Haven't picked out the middle layer yet.

I started this pattern called thunderstruck, and they show various ways to layout the blocks. But I found many other ways to layout them out. Now I can’t decide which one to use.

I wanted to show off the final result. I had asked for advice regarding possible sashing/breaking up the chaos. I chose black sashing and alternating colors. I like it, it‘s growing on me. These are my two favorite colors and sometimes have to remind myself they don’t always go together. The background fabric is gorgeous and Dio De Los Muertos themed, and my son pointed out it’s pretty Halloween themed! In the end, I love the blocks (Scrappy Stars - I got the pdf version - totally worth the it!), but am not a fan of FPP. Too much paper removing.

This is the Harbor Stars quilt design and I would love to make it, but I’m a little stumped on how I would go about adding the checkered lines between the stars? I can’t tell if the checkers are quilted or if it’s just the pattern of the fabric. I am a super beginner as I’ve only just made one quilt. Any advice or links to YouTube videos would be super helpful! Thank you :)

I had a quilting bar that I felt was too loose for my machine (Singer Simple 2263) so I got the real one that’s meant for my machine. It seems to still have some wiggle, but this caused me to have crooked quilting lines last time. It is normal for it to wiggle a little or should it be tight/ not moving?

One block down and three more to go! Y'all, I'm so excited!!! This has been such an incredibly fun and challenging process so far. I may or may not already have a list going for future patterns. I miiiiiight be obsessed with quilting lol 🧵✨

I am so close to finishing a full size star pop quilt. But I was running out of steam so I needed to take a break by starting my next project, a big block queen quilt for my bestie using RSS Fireglow. I ordered two layer cakes early in the year and when they got here, I had no idea what I was going to do with them. I like the big block idea to show off the prints. Each block is about 25” and I plan to add sashing. I’m very new to quilting. Still just in my first year of sewing.

Baby bear quilt, with baby for scale.

Made a quilt from Quilt Alaska's Baby Bear pattern and kit. It was so great to get all the fabric I needed in one kit! I did the topper on my machine and then I hand quilted the layers together. I used a red flannel for the back and the only downside of that is I didn't want to give it away because a flannel blanket backer is just so comfy and cozy.

Also the cat fell in love with it and removing all the cat hair was a real pain in the patoot.

I saw this quilt on a tik tok and I am desperate to make it, but I can’t find the pattern anywhere! Does anyone know where this might be from?

TIA

This is my second finished quilt top and it's supposed to become a wall hanging. It's a mix of appliqué and foundation paper piecing. However I'm not sure how to quilt it. Does anyone have an idea? Thanks!
