Video Tutorial – 1 Hour Fat Quarter Quilt

July 12, 2023 by Shellie Wilson

The quilt design is based on a simple block, which makes it easy to put together. The quilt is made up of 12 large blocks, each made with a different fat quarter, that are sewn together to create the final quilt.

The fat quarters used in this quilt pattern are ideal for showcasing larger prints, making it a great way to use fabrics that might be too busy for smaller quilt blocks. The large blocks also make this quilt perfect for a quick gift, or as a fun project to work on in between more complex quilting projects. With this quilt, you can have a beautiful finished product in just a short amount of time.

This quilt is also very versatile in terms of size. The finished quilt measures 59 inches x 67 inches, but it can easily be adjusted to suit your needs. If you want to make the quilt bigger, you can simply add more fat quarters, and if you want to make it smaller, you can reduce the number of fat quarters used.

Overall, this quilt pattern is great for quilters of all skill levels and provides a perfect balance between ease and beauty. It is an ideal project for a quick and satisfying finish and great for showcasing special fabrics. Whether you’re looking for a fun weekend project or a quick and easy gift, this quilt pattern is the perfect solution.

 

One of the best ways to increase productivity when making quilts is to practice your cutting and piecing techniques. By becoming more efficient with these basic steps, you can save a lot of time when working on larger quilts. I suggest starting with simpler patterns and working your way up to more complex designs as you become more comfortable and confident with your skills.

Another tip to increase productivity is to invest in good quality quilting tools, such as a rotary cutter, ruler, and cutting mat. Having the right tools for the job can make a big difference in terms of speed and accuracy.

I try to take shortcuts when possible, such as using pre-cut fabrics like fat quarters, or using a quick-piecing method like the strip piecing technique. These shortcuts can save a lot of time and are especially useful when working on larger quilts.

I also like to plan ahead, so before I start working on a quilt, I create a detailed plan for what fabrics I will use, how I will cut and piece them, and how I will lay out the quilt top. Having a plan in place can help me work more efficiently and stay on track.

Finally, I try to find a quilting buddy or join a quilting group, to exchange ideas, tips and techniques. This can be a great way to learn new skills, stay motivated and make quilting a more productive and enjoyable experience. And also it allows to learn from others who may have experience in quilting that you don’t, and as a result, you could learn to make your quilting more productive and better.
