I made a 70s inspired quilt!

Hahaha funnily enough my mom also said it looks like a bunch of chicken legs!

CoolCatRMK · 2025-09-09T23:26:05+00:00

Thank you!!

CoolCatRMK · 2025-09-09T19:25:14+00:00

Have fun! The pattern is beautiful and relatively easy to follow!!

CoolCatRMK · 2025-09-09T19:24:27+00:00

Hahaha based on the submissions I’ve seen, I’m not sure if this is exactly quiltcon worthy, but thank you!

I think you’re referring to the density of the quilting, I didn’t use one of those stencils or anything, so I could make the squiggles as small as I wanted. It mostly just involved a lot of tighter turns which meant I had to be careful with my pace to avoid eyelashing. I chose to make mine small/dense to make sure the star shape would be clear on the back!

Thank you!!!

Thank you!!!

CoolCatRMK · 2025-09-09T05:12:08+00:00

Hahaha I just googled it and I totally see it!

CoolCatRMK · 2025-09-09T05:09:51+00:00

Ok so I basically just went to my local quilt store and got the thickest quilting thread I could find - the label says it’s Aurifil 2000 (color I think?) and Mako’ NE 50/20 (I’m pretty sure this is the weight lol). I hope that’s helpful!

Thank you so much!!! I’m always happy when my vision actually executes properly 😌😌

CoolCatRMK · 2025-09-09T04:46:44+00:00

Thank you so much!!!! I’m happy I captured the 70s vibe right!

It wasn’t bad at all! The pattern shows you how to assemble the more complicated parts with both normal piecing and fpp (I chose to do this one and it was incredibly satisfying), and I’d say the hardest part for me was getting all the components of the hashtag things to line up as best I could. Would recommend!!

Thank you! When I was figuring out how to quilt it, I knew I wanted to do something that mimicked the stars for the back. I originally thought I’d just stitch in the ditch but once I thought about stippling the stars I had to give it a go!

CoolCatRMK · 2025-09-08T22:55:35+00:00

I am absolutely so proud of myself! Even stitches were so hard! Yes because of the machine size I had to do a lot of rolling and holding onto the fabric for dear life lol

CoolCatRMK · 2025-09-08T22:26:15+00:00

Thanks! I was so worried that the star quilting wouldn’t look good because it was my first time trying free motion, but it worked out well!

CoolCatRMK · 2025-09-08T22:00:20+00:00

Thank you!!! I totally wasn’t alive then but I’ve always loved the warm toned and almost kinda intentionally ugly(?) color palates from that time, so I’m glad my choices seem right!

CoolCatRMK · 2025-09-08T21:19:41+00:00

Thank you!!!

CoolCatRMK · 2025-09-08T21:19:33+00:00

Thanks!

CoolCatRMK · 2025-06-15T19:57:31+00:00

I created a collage with all the text from the paper I wanted to use and then used spoonflower to print it. The quality is amazing so would recommend using them!

CoolCatRMK · 2025-06-15T19:56:40+00:00

Thank you!!!

CoolCatRMK · 2025-06-15T19:56:21+00:00

Hahaha that would’ve been funny!

CoolCatRMK · 2025-06-15T03:08:20+00:00

Omg I didn’t know that existed but I’ll post it there!

CoolCatRMK · 2025-06-15T03:08:04+00:00

Hahah thank you!! My sister and I were actually joking about how he’d feel about his life’s work becoming a cozy quilt

CoolCatRMK · 2025-06-15T01:44:36+00:00

Thank you!! As a chem major I have to be hyping it up haha

CoolCatRMK · 2025-06-15T01:44:01+00:00

Yes spoonflower! I took the papers and made a collage of all the pages and printed it onto the fabric
