I love your videos! It’s nice to see a quilter using affordable fabric from JoAnns too. Not everyone can afford designer fabrics. Sometimes on social media I see quilters put down fabrics from big box stores, but sometimes those affordable fabrics are just the ticket for a multitude of reasons. Thanks for making your wonderful videos! ❤

This was a really cute quilt...I think I can beat your cost of a quilt...I recently was trying to do something with all the scraps so I made a string quilt...so far no cost...then I used all the leftover batting and pieced it together...no cost...so the final was the backing and that was a sheet that I no longer used that was still very nearly unused...again no cost... Finished it off with scrap binding and a 46 x 46 quilt. I donated it to my church for our building fund and we raised $500.

Years ago when we traveled to South Carolina to visit relatives, we used beach towels to cover our luggage, etc. in the back of our station wagon.

What a great picnic quilt and for the beach 🏖️. Cute idea. I love doing a half inch shadow stitching on my seams, too. In this case, I would have also used a marking pencil and ruler to make diagonal lines going through the squares and stitched on those. Traditional but secures the squares and the geometric design contrasts well with the floral prints and wavy design on the towel backing.

Your quilt is very nice on both sides. I have wondered if anyone has ever used terry cloth to back a quilt? You just answered that question for me. Please don't forget to deep clean, oil, lubricate, change your needle, and polish your sewing machine. It has had a hard workout. I hemmed golf towels for a new Towel Factor that opened up here over twenty years ago. They were trying to get started (and needed samples for their sales staff to show). There were not any industrial sewing machines in their Factor at the time; so, I hemmed their small towels on my home sewing machines. The problems I had were:: 1. lots of lint (I had to clean my machines every hour), 2. no industrial quality thread (I had to use cotton thread from a Quilt Shop), 3. no hemming foot large enough to turn the hems on such heavy, 100 % cotton, terry cloth fabric (I had to turn the hems by hand), 4. no industrial, heavy duty, sewing machine needles to fit my machines (the heavy quilting and denim needles I had to buy and use, from the Quilt Shop, bent and broke when they got too hot). I dulled all my scissors (many times) cutting those towels apart (from the rolls). There was lint all over my sewing area, my clothes, on me, and inside my nose and lungs. I was very happy when the job was finished. After doing that small job for them, I did not want to work for them ever again.

I was watching. You know if you would have left the blue right side out. Then put a dark blue backing and had put a dark blue binding around the quilt. The blue in the quilt would most likely pop and make it look neat too. You can kind of get the idea when you see that blue towel laying against the front when you can see them both together. The mute color looks good. But I really believe you could have pulled the dark blue out with dark blue binding and been a beautiful quilt also

Just a thought…The more quilting you do, the less soft it may become, depending on the type of stitches you choose to use. 😊 I have many old sheets, that I could cut down for use as a quilt backing. Lots of people on KZitem use sheets they find at thrift shops for sewing/quilting projects.

Thanks for the tips! I love using sheets from thrift stores, too! Especially flannel sheets.

Love it! Did you use towels or Joann’s precuts? Or both? Thank you for watching!

You are so creative. What a great idea. Since I live near the beach it would be good to have for a table cloth if you come across a grotty looking table for your picnic, or a lap quilt while sitting in your beach chair when the wind is blowing to stop getting sand blasted, a picnic blanket down on the grass. It would be handy. Thanks for this Kris. I am off to Bribie on the weekend and after that you will hear from me.

I rewatched this after seeing your short video. I couldn't remember what you used for the backing. I imagine you drinking lemonade while sitting on your patio with this adorable lemon quilt.

Right? Honestly, it was in complete real time. I was so disappointed when I saw the dark up against the rest of the fabrics. At first, I was going to just go with it, but I am glad I went with my gut instinct on it. I love how it looks like faded denim. ❤️

I've used the back side of fabric in my quilts also. Sometimes it's the perfect foil, but I never considered a towel for the backing fabric. Great Idea! I'll have to keep that in my toolbox.

Thank you so much! The towel backing was a first for me, too! I will definitely use them again. It is so incredibly soft. I had no idea it would turn out as well as it did. ❤️
