How to make a puff or biscuit quilt video tutorial – part 2

1 Comment

This is part 2 of my tutorial how to make a puff or biscuit quilt.  In today’s tutorial I’ll finish my cat’s puff bed now.

Just a small note: My quilt is small so I didn’t tie it. I’ve washed it and when I do it comes out fine.

For a larger quilt, it may be best to tie it every set of 4 puffs in a square if that makes sense.  This explains how to tie a quilt.

I think my cat Spécial likes it. Do you agree?

Did you miss part 1? Do you need to watch the tutorial again? Here it is:


My book Turnabout Patchwork

“Turnabout Patchwork. Simple quilts with a twist” is all about playing with blocks – making a block, slicing it up, and turning or repositioning the pieces to make a completely different block (sometimes two smaller blocks) to yield endless quilt tops.

How to make a puff or biscuit quilt video tutorial – part 1

Puff quilts or biscuit quilts are very special quilts and they’re very easy to make as I’ll demonstrate.

For this project I made a puff quilt as a cat’s bed and my cat loves it. I think he particularly loves it in summer because cotton is a lot cooler than his polyester store bought bed.

The tutorial is in 2 parts. Check it out!

These two star blocks, Split star and Blueberry pie, are two of my star block favorites.

Use high contrasting fabrics for best results.

Crumby sawtooth star quilt block video tutorial

6 Comments

This is a classic block but I’m making it modern by using crumb quilting for the centre of the star.

What do you think?

So let’s make a crumby sawtooth star quilt block:

Learn crumb quilting

In case you missed my tutorial on crumb quilting, here it is again.

So how can you use this block. You can make a mini quilt but you can use this block in a quilt.

My lucky stars pattern

Sawtooth star is one of the blocks in My lucky stars quilt.
The pattern can be easily adapted to use crumb quilting by replacing just some parts of each block. See some designs below.

If you’re in need to make something handmade for someone else, or for yourself, this tutorial will help!

Hot water bottle cozies seem like a thing from the past but they’re always good to have around in case you have some back pain or you need to warm up quickly after a very cold day out.

And who doesn’t need a tote bag? The tutorial is for a simple bag that uses charm squares. You can make it in an afternoon.

Did you enjoy the tutorials?
