Just saw your beautiful quilt. My DD wants one and I was not really into it until I saw yours. Did you make that from a pattern? If so would you mind telling me where I can find it. She has a king sized bed but I am thinking I will make a queen to somewhat match her dust ruffle which is very pretty. Thanks for any help you can give me.

My boyfriend's mom showed me how to make this quilt. My squares are six by six inches. I sewed the top first then I sewed the back then I marked the wrong side of the backing fabric with rows of five inch by five inch. Then I sewed row by row making tubes. In the middle of each square I would make a half inch gather so that each square matched up per my markings. Once I sewed all the rows one way then I started with sewing down the middle of the quilt and stitched in the ditch and gather half inch all the way down. Then one row at a time I would push a handful of stuffing all the way down each tube and then sew all the way down closing the square and repeat until I got to the end of the quilt. Then turn the quilt around and stuff and sew the other side. It's gets a little bulky so make sure you have plenty of table space to help hold the quilt while sewing. I made three of these quilts before I made this queen size. I love it. I am so glad that I finally have a room to display it in. Happy Quilting!!!!!
