90 Minute Quilt --I am a believer!
 

I looked at the you-tube video that was posted under "resources & links" telling how to do "90 minute"
quilts. I couldn't quite believe that was possible, but at 8:00 I decided to try. I used fleece on mine and was indeed done in under 2 hours. I was amazed! I will be using this technique more often on charity quilts, etc. I realized after I had cut out my blocks, that I had cut up a couple of pillow cases I had not sewn together. This "older" brain does not always compute things as rapidly as it once did. Here's the pictures.

Beautiful quilt!

Very nice.

Love it and the pattern.

Did you fold or roll the edges? It is a very handsome quilt.

We must be sharing the same brain! That's the kind of stuff I do! Love the 90 minute quilt! Thanks for sharing.

I'm curious about the backing/edging/binding. I can't find the 90 minute quilt tutorial on this board. Can you share a link?
Thanks!

Very nice job!

Very nice! At least the pillow cases were repurposed. :rolleyes: Does the 90 minutes include the quilting?

I just turn the backing to the front and stitch with a decorative stitch--I do not turn the edge under. The fleece doesn't ravel so doesn't really need to be turned.

Another reader shared it below (probably "above" since I read it before writing this post.)

Great idea. Nice quilt. Thanks for sharing.

Looks very nice I am surprised a quilt can be done in 90 mins also but it looks nice. Sue

VERY nice! I love the cozy backing! :) :)

I see I didn't fully answer your question. I use fleece for my backing, but the tutorial uses batting and a backing--either works well. With fleece and then turning it to the front as the facing, it is pretty quick and easy. I use a decorative stitch on the edge of the binding--with fleece you do not need to turn it under.

Yes--the tutorial just used a straight stitch running diagonally thru the blocks. The tutorial shows how to do it with continuous stitching. With fleece, I felt like having the columns sewn down was plenty without additional quilting.

I would like to see the 90 minute tute also. Canyou sesnd me the link?

great job - looks very nice.

Very cool - thanks for sharing! I hope this "older" brain remembers this when I get back to making charity quilts. :)

That is neat, I think I try it also.

Nice job! I'm sure someone will be warm and cozy under that quilt. What a great idea for a quick and simple kids quilt too!:thumbup:

Try this and see if it works. It is a tutorial on 90 minute quilts.

There's another one on you-tube that's fast called the jellyroll 1600. After cutting the strips and sewing them together it took 35 minutes for one lady to finish.

Love your 90 minute quilt. Occasionally, I need an instant gratification quilt, especially after making several challenging quilts, this could be that quilt. Love yours

Nicely done!! :)

Thank you so much for the video on how to do this. I make a lot of charity quilts and will definitely use this method....especially the binding. I can't wait to try it out.......:)

That looks nice...I will have to try this...thanks for sharing.

Did you wash the fleece first. I don't know if fleece shrinks. Thank you for showing this I will try making one.

Wash fleece???
 

No, I do not prewash fleece--there is really nothing in the fiber content to shrink.
