    Default Quick quilt need help quilting?

    I have not quilted in years and have to finish 3 kids quilts for Easter. Can someone suggest the quickest quilting for this on a fleece backing. I do not free motion well at all. Thanks for any suggestions. Diane

    A simple cross hatch always works. Quick and easy

    Not to sound like a broken record (I posted this tip in another post!), but tying works. When I started quilting I either tied them or hand quilted. You don't have time for the latter!

    Use your walking foot and straight line anywhere and everywhere you think it needs it.

    I vote for tying -- fleece on the back (without batting) does not need as much to keep it from shifting, and is more likely to bunch up on the back when machine quilted.

    ​I would do rows of the serpentine stitch.

    My question would be "What kind of batting do you have?" That would determine the amount of quilting that would be needed. I use Warm and Natural and I can quilt as far as 10 inches (usually stick to 5-6 inches). Hope this helps.

    I have made a few jelly roll race quilts with fleece backing. I used spray adhesive to put the quilt and the fleece together. It is true that you won't have to do a lot of quilting as there is no batting and no restrictions. You just want to keep the fleece from shifting. All suggestions are good. I believe having fleece on the back helps speed up the process. Also, if you "google" 5-minute and 10-minute blocks, you will find something that is quick and easy to make and the blocks are as large as you want them and will not need a lot of quilting. Good luck.
