Puff Quilt Instructions




Instruction for making Puff Quilt:

80 Squares- 6"x 6" color choices
80 Muslin Squares - 5.5" x 5.5"

Match corners and pin muslin sq 5.5" to front 6" sq with wrong sides together (see method link)
Sew 3 sides with 1/4-" 1/2" seam (one side is left opened)
Stuff opening with fiberfill
Sew opening to close


Suggestion tip: A zigzag or edge stitch sewn to each edge helps with fraying and strengthening edges prior to seaming puffs together.

Once enough puffs sewn, begin to arrange pattern of choice.

Begin sewing puff  (mini pillows) to one another ( in 2's) and to form a row.

Row to row, till doubling rows are formed.... etc till all rows of puffs are sewn together by rows.

Side sashes (4) were cut in 3" width and extend length allowing extra for sewing and some lead way for enough to go around  the puffs sewn together.

Ruffle trim work applied

Label Minky/soft comfy backing
Cut to size backing with layers of quilt top. 
       (Tip: allow extra for some shifts when sewing minky fabrics)

Hand sew to close opening after turning
Tack all layers of quilt sandwich  by hand-sewing with ties at back to tack.

My latest Quilt

Been busy finishing up with a new baby quilt this weekend. I decided 2 weeks ago, to make another Puff/biscuit/pillow quilt.  As soon as I located and purchased fabric for the puffs, I was right on it.  And to my luck, I already had a bag of filling and plenty of muslin for the backside to make the pillowing puffs. All I needed was the rainbow of pastel fabrics.  For this quilt, color choices included yellow and purple  with a few coordinating prints with hints of pink  after all, this is to be made for a newborn baby girl just born last week! I'm almost done today  and rather excited for it to be soon gifted.  However first, wanted to organize my journal progresses and edit my notes.  That made me begin to wonder, how many quilters really do journal their progresses  with notes, and as one is working on a project or quilt. I began to note how much better my work was flowing and as I kept up on my notes....
