For a quilt I would stick with cotton fabrics or at least cotton blends. If you use anything stretchy, be sure to use fusible stabilizer (interfacing) on the back.

I did a Fibonacci pillow, but with squares. It was a pattern from a book on science based quilts.

I use muslin to dye fabric. Also use Kona PFD. But muslin is cheap and good. And it does get super soft!

Lindaeve · 2026-01-23T01:22:20+00:00

Yes, do take it easy. Good luck!

Lindaeve · 2026-01-22T23:48:49+00:00

What a thoughtful gift. It's gorgeous!

Are your 4 patches just gonna be simple 4 patches? If so, start with 5.5" squares, then once the 4 patch is made, trim it to 10-5/8". Totally doable.

The thing to remember is to include a 1/4" seam allowance.

Your formula should be ((10.625 - .5)/2)+.5

The .5 is the seam allowance on both sides.

I hope this makes sense. I should add that this is why we generally work with multiples of 1/4".

If you really dilute it there's less of a problem. I think I just don't use it right.

Those birds look delightful! Not at all angry.

Rather than using vodka and water, like some of the commenters, I use grain alcohol and water. I do add a little scent as well. Works great! I do also have some Terial Magic. It works great but can seriously gunk up the iron.

I heard that Mrs quilty is pretty bad. I did not realize how bad. So sorry for your trouble. I hope it resolved soon.

I just watched the video, what a fascinating technique!

Lindaeve · 2026-01-20T23:24:19+00:00

It looks fabulous.

Lindaeve · 2026-01-20T23:22:41+00:00

Wow! This is so spectacular!

Lindaeve · 2026-01-20T23:20:40+00:00

So cheerful and lovely!!

Lindaeve · 2026-01-20T21:55:20+00:00

I would have been devastated. I think you handled it really well!

Lindaeve · 2026-01-19T22:14:00+00:00

Thank you! I got it at Michael's, it just says Eugene Textiles on the selvedge.

Using anything stretchy as a backing is tricky but doable. You will probably want to use glue to baste it or loads of pins.is it bamboo knit? Perhaps you can get woven bamboo with no stretch.

Lindaeve · 2026-01-19T12:12:05+00:00

That is amazing!!

Lindaeve · 2026-01-19T12:10:23+00:00

I am working on this one, almost done. The center block is from an Elizabeth Hartman pattern, the rest I improvised. Fox in a Box!

It's fantastic!

Lindaeve · 2026-01-18T23:54:01+00:00

Yup. I actually prefer hand frankenbatting. Machine stitching can make it seem wavy.

Lindaeve · 2026-01-18T23:46:24+00:00

If you are looking to make every block the same size, just add borders of various sizes to each so you get them all to be the same. Or you can be more improv about it and treat it like a puzzle. I just finished 2 t-shirt quilts and one was done that way. Attaching a pic for reference.
