7 Quilt Patterns That Get It Done Fast

hi everyone Donna Robertson with fabric cafe thanks for joining us for another virtual quilt show and today we're going to talk about get her done quilts this was inspired by Clarinda she wrote me an email yesterday and she was we were chatting about which which one of my patterns is the fastest if you needed a quilt and a hurry which one is the fastest so she inspired me to do this because sometimes pictures are deceiving you might look at a quilt and pattern and you think this looks really easy and I'd really like to to to make it in a hurry but with my patterns the way that I write the pattern in the way that I do the strip piecing some of them are faster than others even though all of my quilts are pretty quick and easy then this morning joy from Florida called me and she said I'm getting ready to do 14 quilts for my great grand nieces and nephews and she said you are a lifesaver because I'm gonna use your patterns because these patterns are going to be given to them for Christmas this year so she has quite the little trick in front of her to make 14 quilts for these kids another time I had a lady that came in to the plano show and i'm sorry i do not remember her name but if you're watching i think this is a great story this was in august one year and she actually bought like 20 kids and she was wanting me to go through and help her pick out the quilts and the patterns and everything and she said now these are Christmas presents for my grandchildren and my great-grandchildren and she she had 20 that she picked out and she said they're getting them for Christmas this year she had her own long-arm quilter so she was going to do her own quilting but I thought 20 of them before Christmas was amazing in August however about three weeks later she called me and got ten more quilt kits because she decided she thought of some other people and when I saw her the next year in August I said did you get all those quilts done and she said yes ma'am I did 30 quilts so today I'm going to show you some my top six down until you're seven seven my top seven quilts that you can make in a hurry if you want to get her done then these are the ones that I would recommend first of all this one is called the big picture quilt now the big picture is probably one of the very fastest ones that I have the center of this quilt you cut thirty four and a half inches of a regular fabric and this particular one had kitty cats all over it you know how crazy we are about cats around here but I thought I'd show you this picture I mean this fabric because this would be a good one and this one is on our website it's just an adorable rabbit print but can't you just see that in the center of this quilt pattern here 34 and a half inches is how you cut your Center and then you strip piece the border and so the but I mean this would would go together in just a couple of hours it's so quick and easy now this pattern is available on free caring quilt patterns calm we also have it that you could buy it but we we do have it on though our free pattern site so you can check it out there okay now then what's the number on that day oh this but on the fabric well that's just what I wanted to find that because they might like that it's gonna be five five one nine nine five that's the fabric number by five one nine five five right then the next one I want to show you and you've seen this one a couple of times but this is my next fastest quilt so that's our fastest one if you want one in a real big hurry this one is checkmate we've shown you this one before but it is absolutely a fast one and the reason is let me put it up here so I can point you're cutting this this strip is the width of the fabric I think I think I cut it at 40 and a half inches that way you have it comes out even with your four inch checkerboard and this is all done in strip piecing so this is just one big strip and you've got four strips and then I make my four patches and they're all strip pieced so this one would go together and maybe four to five hours it's just really really fast now that's even with the cutting so this one is a very very fast one the other ones probably and it depends a little bit on whether you're a fast you know I put the pedal to the metal when I sew I have to actually adjust my sewing machine down to the half you know I push the little half button so it goes at half speed because I'll just go too fast but checkmate is my second fastest one and checkmate is available on our website it's available as a pattern a paper pattern it's also available as a download and here's the number John if you want to catch this so it's available as a downloadable pattern remember that when you download a pattern if you purchase a downloadable pattern you have to have an account for us to send that pattern to so make sure you set up a password-protected account on our website and then you can download your pattern whenever you want and then we have the paper pattern that will mail to you if you want to purchase that or it's also in our three yard quilts for kids so if you have this book you already have the pattern for our checkmate we are in the throes of spring in East Texas okay the next one that I want to show you now this particular fabric we ran out of the brown so I'm going to show you a different kit it has the ADIZ and it has this little green sprig and it's made with so quick now so quick pattern is absolutely our number three most people can make this in about five to six hours it has a big 10 inch block and then it has a strip pieced for patch that you make to go alongside and this one goes super fast it's excellent for beginner quilters for putting it together in a hurry I've told y'all the story before but I'm gonna tell you again about my sister Judy who retired and she told me she wanted to make a quilt and she'd just gotten chickens so I sent her chicken fabric in the so quick pattern and a couple of weeks later she said I got up this morning and decided to make that quilt and she said I made it in six hours is that like normal or something I love that story I said well you're just a super quilter and you didn't know it so it was one of her first forays into quilting and she did a great job and made her chicken quilt in about six hours and it was one of her very first quilts so it went together fast this is the fabric now that one is made with the brown we were kind of pulling out the brown in our nest with that one but we ran out of the brown and we created this new kit it has this pretty green to replace the brown and when we put this together a couple of people in the office said I think I like that one even better than the original and it is really pretty and this one's called spring forest too it's only 24 dollars for this kit you get the so quick pattern free with the kit or if you want a down one two down the book it is available in the favourites we do have that special where you can buy three kits and get a free book and if you wanted you can get this book free we just provide a code for you to go in and download it this is the pattern so quick quilts and that one is going to come free with your fabric so a $24 kit and it is spring for us to sew Elaine just sure yes this one does go together fast she's made a couple for her grandkids awesome it's really pretty too thanks Elaine we'll put this one over here the next one that is a fast one is the porch rails pattern and this one's made with the friends-and-family fabric that's one of my lines that I did with quilting treasures fabrics and this one is super easy because put this down so you can see you're going to do strip piecing and you sew three pieces the width of the fabric together and then you cut that and you have your block you set it in with a plain block and voila you've got so this one is called porch rails and it is my number four fastest is it for one two okay I can't count so no we have this one we had this one so that was number one so this is number four tell somebody to keep track of how many I'm showing this is the fabric hi Janet okay this is the fabric for that the beautiful friends and family fabric that's been so popular and it comes in the purple with the two greens and in case you've never noticed on this little sprig it has little purple berries so that ties it together with the purple in the friends-and-family fabrics and then I love the this dot is just it's nice and subtle but it's such pretty pretty fabric even if I do say so myself the pattern is ports rails it'll come free when you order the kit or if you order three kits you can get the pretty darn quick book and that one has porch rails right here here's our little piece of paper so this is the quilt kit code and this one is a $34 one I'll put that over here okay am i up to number five the next one is sweet times sweet times is super super easy and what a cute quilt looks really good has anybody made this one let us know if you've made this one it is so much fun to make not hard at all you're going to cut the ten inch blocks that's what we have here is a ten inch block and I'm knocking things over [Music] and then it has the the each block is bordered and that would go very very fast for you to border your blocks and it is done with the sweet x pattern this is from the easy-peasy book and it even has this fabric on the cover it got to be the star this is your information it's called pet portraits it's $29 and this is your code it comes with the free pattern sweet times or if you buy three kits you can get a book free and that's easy-peasy 3-yard quilts and it's done in a pink here so a pink and grey so just really cute so this is my fifth quickest pattern tumescent SJ tells us she made this with Disney fabrics first stepdaughter oh how fun very easy does she remember how long it took her okay here's the fabric up-close-and-personal if you want to see it just adorable as you know I do I like dogs but I'm kind of partial to black kitties I've had a couple of black kitties in my lifetime and they're just precious so this is the cute little fabric fishbones cute and I love this Wiggly wavy stripe that's really nice and that's just together in this part of the fabric line so super cute so pet portraits $29 sweet timing pattern comes free when you buy the kit or you can buy three kits any three kits and get easy-peasy three yard quilts book it has eight different patterns in there and we'll put this over here next we have bold blocks both blocks is a little different from some it's kind of an asymmetrical John keeps laughing because he can see what you're saying yeah SJ just told us it took her a weekend but she has kids that's great and it is you know it's a miracle sometimes oh he's not here so I'm gonna say it's a miracle I can get much done because I have a husband no I love my man but it's amazing how much time they take okay this one is called bold blocks and I did this is kind of a modern quilt kind of the asymmetrical look and it's fun to put together it only has borders on two sides it almost ties with sweet times as far as the speed with which you could get this done so this one is called bold blocks and it would be my number six quilt as far as the the speed with which you can get it done so it's called violet Gardens this is also one of my fabric lines that I did with QT and will look at this and remember earlier I showed you the gray of the green sprig with the purple berries well this one is a teal with the purple berries and it has the coordinating fabrics it's called violent gardens uses the bold block pattern it comes free when you buy the kit the kits $34 or if you want to do pretty darn quick yes here's pretty good no I did get it I just forgot where I put it okay so pretty darn quick three yard quilts and it's the cover quilt so that one so you'd have two of these patterns that are super quick this one is the porch rails and here's the bow blocks all and this one's called pretty darn quick because all of my quilts are pretty darn quick to make so that one is violent gardens and bold blocks and bold blocks is our sixth fastest quilt now the seventh one is available in easy does it three yard quilts and it's called overnight sensation this one is a mate it's we called I called it an overnight sensation because I keep hearing about all these people that do the lock-ins and they sew all night I'm too old for that what my bed at night okay so this one's called overnight sensation but if you're doing one of those lock-ins and sewing till late in the night and you can get this one finished in a hurry to block is actually 16 inches let me put this up here and show you what I'm talking about so this block is one big four patch and it's got eight inch blocks in that strip piece so I so with all long strips and then I cut it so this is cut into a strip like so and those blocks are just turned so you've got this block and it's just turned that way it goes together so fast and I called it overnight sensation and if most of these are probably tied one it to another which one it is this the quickest and the easiest this pattern is only available in this book easy does it it hasn't a book has to be out about two years before we start bringing out the patterns and then we do it slowly because there's such a large investment in doing one of the pattern books but one of the big pleasures of the books is that you get three sizes so this one has the lap the twin and the king queen every pattern in every book has multiple sizes so be sure to check that out and again you can get a book free when you buy three kits this one is called overnight sensation it's from the book easy does it let me put this over here and we'll look at the fabric up close okay Leisha tells us she really likes that way hi Felicia okay so this is pretty posies and Felicia it's Felicia chords my right no no Smith Smith oh sorry Felicia your package shipped today okay this is $29 and it's 802 0:08 its Town Square is the substitute pattern and in other words this books only available in the book the patterns only available in this book but if you buy a kit we will send you a free Town Square as the substitute pattern otherwise buy three kits and you would get the pattern in the book and that's free so there you have it if you want to get a quilt done and get it done in a hurry then you'll want to do one of our seven fast just quilt and we really will think you'll agree with us when you make them up so it's Donna Robertson with fabric cafe and you have a great evening
