help with buscuit puff quilt.
 

Making an infant size. I've looked at some videos and images. I understand the puffs. So there is no batting? What is the best way to attach it to the back?

When you say you understand the puffs, does that mean you know they can be filled with a fiberfill product as this website shows? http://quilting.about.com/od/quiltpa...uff-Quilts.htm One of the steps says to tie with embroidery floss at the block corners.

This website http://www.womenfolk.com/baby_quilts/biscuitpattern.htm says to sew a button through all the layers in each flower block.

This website eliminated the center layer of fabric and stuffed each block as she was sewing them together. http://cookcleancraft.com/2013/03/qu...tmat-tutorial/

Seems that the bottom line is however you want to do it as long as you secure the front biscuit puffs to the back in some manner to stabilize it. Hope we get to see a picture one of these days.

This is on my bucket list. Still not exactly sure how the backing goes on . Looks like a quilt coming on.

I used a very thin ply. cotton batting.Tied with pearl cotton.batting is needed if you have borders or you have to quilt each border before attaching to main quilt......

I machine sewed all my puffs together, with the seams looking very messy, and then I stitched the resulting top to a backing using the birthing method, making sure I caught all the seams when I sewed around the edges. I actually made a pillow, so I had an opening on the back; otherwise I would have left a hole for turning and then stitched it closed afterwards.

When you make the puff, part of the puff is the backing. You need pins to keep the the tucks in place and then you stuff it lightly with poly stuffing. At least that the way it was done back in the stone age.

Did you polyfil the puffs and also put a batting on? I guess I want to know if that would over do it. I making this for a late December baby that lives in freezing New Jersey and would like it to be warm. I didn't plan on doing borders.

Here's one I did a few weeks ago http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...t-t268204.html
Used the method shown at www. awaitingada.com . Not easy for sure, but working on it helped to relieve some really severe anxiety, kept me from tearing my face off!

I have made about 10 biscuit quilts.
The bottom square is cut at 3-1/2", top at 4-1/2". Sew 3 sides together, put a tuck on each side to make same size as bottom. stuff loosely with polyfil. If you stuff too full it will be hard to sew them together. After they are all sewn together, cut back and use the pillow case method. Bind and tie at each intersection. I have a pamphlet type book with instructions.

Gee....back before I knew there were rules for quilting, I made a biscuit quilt. I cut, sewed, stuffed with poly and sewed the seam shut. Then I blind stitched the blocks together. Never put a backing on it!!!!!!! Now I'm wondering just how that looked!!!!!! ROL ROL....my grandson is 19 now....wonder if they still have it!!!!!

That is the way I made mine also.!!And to top it off, it was made of polyester knits!! We used it as a play pad for the baby, nice and soft and when one side got dirty we flipped it over for a little more use before washing.

I just made a small one using the row method for stuffing rather than stuffing each individual one. As for the backing, I used fleece and did one row of quilting clear around the puffs. The sides are held by the binding. Nothing else required in my opinion.

I made a biscuit quilt years ago. There was no batting. Each puff was individually stuffed and sewn to each other as I went along. It was tedious, but the resulting quilt was wonderful. I wish I had a picture. It was gifted. It was perfect for Laing a baby on top of.

Back in the Stone Age, some people used cut-up nylon hose to stuff the puffs. Her friends all saved their ruined hose for her.

I'd not put buttons it if it's to be used for a baby - chocking hazard. I made several tree skirt eons ago using this method with triangles. After the biscuits are made, right sides together with the backing, sew around, leave an opening and turn and stitch the opening closed. And do not stuff too full because it really is hard to sew pieces together. (ask me how I know this - and it was just last fall!)

Why do I think, in the olden days, LOL, they used to used old stockings?? Or is that something different?

I sure do like your little puff quilt. I have always wanted to make one, so maybe i will see what's on youtube about them. My new little GGD would look so cute laying on top of the one you made. Shall I lend her to you for photos?
