Quilting on a budget can be tricky! Let me help you with tips and tricks on how I do it in this budget friendly quilting tutorial. This free pattern and video tutorial will help you save money and make a beautiful quilt! This is a perfect beginner friendly quilt pattern, too!
Here are all the instructions:
Press and cut all of the fabric into 2.5” Strips
We will get 7 strips per ½ yard = 56 strips, but we only need 32 strips-we will have extra but want variety, too.
Split Rail Fence Units
Need 15 blocks
Need at least 16 assorted strips; more strip sets will give you more variety. I am going to use 20 because of that.
Long Strip Set Units:
We need 12 assorted strips; set these aside You may want to have a bit of control over this; up to you. I used the navy to separate the sets, but you could make this completely scrappy-looking, too!
Split Rail Fence Blocks:
Make at least (4) strip sets that are made up of (4) strips each
Sub-cut these into 8.5” units (or the width of your set)
Lay out your blocks and strips and decide where you want them. Play with the design, turning the blocks and finding a layout you like
Once you have a layout you like, sew your strips together.

The navy sashes of the knockoff prints are much more striking. It does a great job of pulling the design together. The turquoise of the jelly roll spreads out the design to the eye.

@victoriastewart2152 Год назад

I have several jelly rolls - but I’ve never paid full price. I like using designer fabrics however… I’ve gotten a fat quarter bundle from a well known designer and it was very thin fabric and frays easily. I’ve gotten some very nice fabric at both JoAnn’s and Hobby Lobby it just take time to carefully select. Thanks for this video. Good job.

@SewtheDistance Год назад

So smart! I do notice the quality even within Joann Fabrics are different. Thank you so much!

@cindyf181 Год назад

I have had the same experience. It’s really disheartening to spent $13 yd on fabric and it feel “cheap”.

@NannaLiz Год назад

Sounds like Kaffe Fassett fabrics. They are beautiful, but way too thin with scads of loose threads.

@adrienegrzenia4607 Год назад

I just opened a name brand jelly roll last week and let me say the strips were 2 3/8th inches. Boy, was I ticked when my blocks didn't work out. It took some math and I adjusted but I was pretty miffed as it messed up the quilt size. It had been on my shelf for a few years so I don't even know where I bought it. I do generally prefer name brand because my expectation is for a better quality fabric. You are right, you have to know the "feel" of a good fabric.

@sherryfaires7931 11 месяцев назад

I must say that I prefer the quilt with the fabrics you chose! I do know that the other fabrics are higher quality and feel better! I try to always get my designer fabrics on sale, so it might be worth it to spend a little more and get one you like better.

@SewtheDistance 11 месяцев назад

I agree. I am so surprised at how much I love the JoAnn Fabrics quilt, other than the feel. Thanks so much for watching and sharing! ❤️

@CopycatQuilter Год назад

I enjoy putting colors and fabrics together myself so seldom buy fabrics from just one line to use for a project. Part of the creative process for me is figuring that out myself. I do buy designer fabrics to use, just not collections. EXCEPT I just finished a gorgeous quilt using 20 1/3 yards of different Tilde prints ($200 with background) and I can say it’s one of my favorite quilts. It was special for my DIL so I was ok with spending that kind of money. Love your channel!

@melindamckenry6368 Год назад

I like the budget colors. I enjoy designer fabrics but I watch for good sales online and never pay designer full price. Not so long ago, I wanted some 5" squares with lots of variety of colors and patterns for a children's quilt so I drove an hour to a JoAnn Fabrics, and I was really quite pleased with all the selection. But I limited myself to 6" (1/6 yd) of each fabric I liked - and I came home with a lot. The saleswoman at Joann's was so helpful and was so careful to make sure that her cuts were more than 6" on all (shop early when there is less of a crowd and they have more time to help you). I think when I make your budget quilt, I will buy more colors than you used, cut at 1/3 yd (which would give 4 strips and a leftover of 2" which you could use in a border or binding.) I live very rural so trips to an actual fabric store are special and I always allow unlimited time to browse. Anyway, I love both of your quilts and I look forward to using your design. Thank you for sharing. (I would love to hear more of your son's 'Shop With Mom" day.)

@SewtheDistance Год назад

Thank you so much! Great tips! We are also very rural, with Joann's being about 30 minutes away, on a good day! I love that you are going to make it! If you have any questions, please let me know! I am happy to help! Thank you for your kind words, too! ❤️

@thereseborden9842 Год назад

Your young gentleman is a peach!! I like the knockoff better because it is not quite so busy and seems a little more coherent than the designer one. However. I am also enamored with the higher end fabric because of the drape and all those other quality issues. My way of keeping costs under control is to buy a couple of must-haves at full price and the others on sale. And (with your encouragement in several videos) I am using my stash for backings and focusing on getting my stash in really good order so utilizing the fabrics is easier. Thank you for the thoughtful video on the budget friendly approach. Quilting can be a luxury activity for many people. I think they appreciate the acknowledgement that not everyone can spend top dollar for fabric. But still make beautiful quilts. You rock, Kris

@SewtheDistance Год назад

Wow! Thank you so much! You are sweet! ❤️❤️❤️ Mitchell (my youngest son who is in the video) is a sweetie and loves challenges like this. I wish he lived closer! He is in Vermont and we are in Pennsylvania. My oldest son is in Pennsylvania, but he isn't into design like Mitchell is, but he has wonderful qualities, too, of course. Maybe I can get him on camera one of these days. I like the knockoff better, too, much to my surprise! I am curious as to how it will wash. Stay tuned! Great tips! I need to use my stash more, too! 😊 Again, thank you for your support and kindness. ❤️

@bethcarter3737 Год назад

They are both nice. It’s just my personal preference to get my fabrics from quilt stores/designers. And, I don’t ever take for granted that I am able to pay the higher prices & completely understand it’s not always a choice. You were definitely able to make a very nice quilt from Joann’s. My biggest issue is how badly Joanne’s type fabric frays & it’s not as soft. It’s ok if we don’t all agree. Whatever works for each of us & brings us joy is all that matters. I’m a new quilter & I did my first couple quilts with Joanne fabrics because I didn’t think I was good enough to use & spend money on designer fabric. However with the issues I had as mentioned above, it didn’t help me get better at quilting. The most important thing is for us all to enjoy the process.

@SewtheDistance Год назад

That is a wonderful point. The "bargain" fabrics are harder to work with, especially for beginners. I didn't think about this. Great thought! Thank you! I agree with all of this, especially about it bringing us joy. ❤️

@marlenethompson864 Год назад

Great video... I am a fabric snob & prefer designer fabric but try to get it on sale to save money. I do not use fabric from Joann's or Walmart since I don't trust the fabric quality. I do buy from a local quilt shop & always check her sale area first. In the past, I have bought a lot of precuts from Missouri Star on their daily deal sales so have quite a stash. Quilting is not a cheap hobby & you have to consider how long you want your quilt to last. I will stick with designer fabric if it's in my budget! I do like both of your demo quilts.. great colors!

@SewtheDistance Год назад

@SewtheDistance Год назад

Same! LOL! I am with you. It is fun to push myself out of my comfort zone, but I tend to always go back to the fancy-pants fabric. ❤️

@kristenlauster3746 Год назад

Thank you. You just proved what I have been saying all along. I feel that the fabrics I get at the local quilt shop are so much easier to work with and the fabrics just feel of a better weight and the colors are just richer. I also liked your ending of this video; it is always interesting to see someone else's thought process as to fabric and color choices. I personally find one or two fabrics the coordinate that I absolutely love and fill in from there. Loving the fabrics help you to finish the quilt even if you are struggling with a pattern design that is a bit above your comfort zone.

@SewtheDistance Год назад

You are so welcome. Very true! Great insight on this! Interestingly, some of the fabric from Joann's was super thick while others was super thin. I didn't like that either. I am curious as to how this works out when they are finished and washed. Stay tuned! I am planning an update on that. Now to get them finished....😊

@SewtheDistance Год назад

Thank you so much! As for the shortage of fabric, I didn't think of that! You are so right!

@jshigginbotham2303 Год назад

I used to work at Joann. The first thing they teach you is to measure and cut exactly on the mark, never give ANY extra. We got a lecture on giving away fabric. Unfortunately when fabric is rolled on the bolt it gets distorted and doesn't cut straight. I usually don't shop there for quilting fabric but I do for garment fabric. I have been shorted more than a forth of a yard.

Oh wow! That is so interesting! I couldn't believe it when I started cutting. At first I thought it was me, but then when I measured it all, I realized i was shorted. I will pay closer attention next time! Thank you so much. ❤️

You lost me at them cutting the yardage short. It’s why I don’t shop at Joann’s anymore. I swear, they stretch the fabric! Lol. Unfortunately, some of the designer fabric isn’t printed straight either, so there is that. I have the means (and desire) to use the designer fabric, but am a bargain hunter, so very rarely pay full price. I go for the designer fabric. That being said, there are a lot of people who can’t afford designer fabric and want to quilt. So, my vote goes for buy what you can afford and like. I love this video and love that your son went with you. He looks just like you :D. I’m going to edit to add that you can pick and choose the better fabric by feel too. That allows you to find a bit of the better fabric. I like Hobby Lobby fabric, but you do have to ferret out the better feeling fabric. Sorry for the rambling. I could talk fabric forever! Lol

Thank you so much! Great ideas, too! I agree--not everyone can afford designer fabric. I am trying to be better at that and keeping that in mind with my tutorials. Thank you so much for your ideas! It is so funny---people say he looks just like me until they see my husband. He is the spitting image of him! My older son, one the other hand, is the spitting image of me. So weird how that happens! I am not sure if would be game to be in a video or now. I will have to ask him! ❤️

I’m with you on the quality issue. Perfect example, making a baby quilt for my oldest friends first grandchild. I love to use flannel for the backing…always bought at the store that I don’t buy my fabric from…I found out at my quilt shop that they carry some Moda flannel. The is no comparison it is so soft and plushy, it’s not loosely woven like the other flannels. I am absolutely in love!♥️ If that makes me a fabric snob then, sew be it!

Thank you! It took us almost two hours to decide. In the footage at the end, we are on the last leg of picking. We started with a completely different grouping. 😂

I like the visual impact of the knockoff quilt better than the designer one. Your colors are stronger and there are not as many. Sometimes two many colors dilutes the impact. And what's with this trend that so many lines of fabric have to have turquoise in them?! You are correct about the designer fabrics being printed on a higher quality base which also has a higher thread count. The quilt stores.tend to be less stingy about making sure you get a full half yard or fat quarter than Joanns. Great video and idea! I try to pick up pre cuts when they are on sale, which helps on the cost. Keep watching the Sew Yeah sales to get some bargins 😉

@SewtheDistance Год назад

So funny you should say that! LOL! I was just at Sew Yeah doing a collab with them last week! Videos will be out in a few weeks of our fun projects! They are a hoot and the kindest people you can imagine. What you see on camera is exactly who they are! And the shop it amazing, too! Here's a short video I made while I was there. Stay to the end to see Teancum. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TjBiR5KWsrU.html I agree with the visual impact. I learned a lot about color from this, even though I thought I was pretty good with it before making the knock off quilt. It has been enlightening to say the least. Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️

@theresaschimelpfening4645 Год назад

I think they are both really pretty! You did a great job with fabric color selections! While the savings is awesome, if I am going to put the time and effort into a project I want the fabric to be good quality. Fading, shrinkage, designs not straight, and feel of a fabric might matter in the long run. Keep that in mind as you decide the type of fabric to use. Quilt stores often have a clearance section where good quality fabric can be purchased reasonably. Several online shops have daily deals, too. With a little patience, even as a beginner, you can make a gorgeous quilt with fabric that will last. Just takes a little more planning. Thank you for the tutorials! I love your projects and your enthusiasm ! ❤️🪡🧵

I prefer the designer fabric for the quailty, but you're right that you should consider the use of the quilt. If I were going to lay it on the ground and picnic on it, I'd go less expensive. I made a boatload of baby quilts and because they will be washed quite a bit, I want to make sure they will hold up. I think the incredible price increase we've seen since 2020 has made many of us turn to our stash and just buy background fabric, batting, backing. Let's face it, many of us could sew daily and still outlive our stash.

@SewtheDistance Год назад

Sooooo true! Everything you just said, especially the last sentence. I have so much fabric. I have no business buying more! 😊 2020 sure did a number on our industry. Some good like online classes/zooms but some bad like the cost of everything. Great points and insight! Thank you!

Kris, this is an amazing idea for a budget friendly quilt and I will be sure to try it out! I made some large quilt squares using fabric from Michael's to throw around the house for my cats to lie on. I am amazed how well they have held up to frequent machine washings. It didn't feel as nice or behave as well as designer fabric, but once washed...it felt the same as the good stuff. Coincidentally, I just made a charity quilt with two Sunday Stroll charm packs and some background fabric..

@SewtheDistance Год назад

Thank you! I am amazed at how the $20 quilt I made a few months ago holds up and am excited to see how this one does, too. I am hoping to quilt/finish them next week and give an update after they are both washed. Thanks so much for input! Also, thank you for watching and commenting. ❤️

I like the designer quilt better, but the budget quilt looks nice, too. When I started quilting about 10 years ago, I bought fabrics from Walmart, Hobby Lobby, and Joann Fabrics, but I quickly realized you get what you pay for...cheap price, cheap fabric. Now, however, I always buy designer precuts on sale from MSQC and Jordan Fabrics, so it's not too painful. I go for quality now, even for my donation quilts. Thanks for the tutorial!

I love the fabrics you and your partner choose for the knockout quilt! I prefer the knockout over the designer. The only con I have is that the check fabric is printed crooked.

@SewtheDistance Год назад

Thank you! My partner was the best, wasn't he? I just wish he lived closer! I would take him with more often. LOL! That gingham fabric was so disappointing. 😔
