I like the biscuitt quilt which was very popular in the 70s. I think I'll have to put it on my list to make one. Colors go very nicely together. Like it.

Just saw your beautiful quilt. My DD wants one and I was not really into it until I saw yours. Did you make that from a pattern? If so would you mind telling me where I can find it. She has a king sized bed but I am thinking I will make a queen to somewhat match her dust ruffle which is very pretty. Thanks for any help you can give me.

HOw big were your squares for this Biscuit Quilt?

I'm another fan who will be adding a biscuit/puff quilt to my bucket list as a result of this post. It is a BEAUTIFUL quilt, and I love the carpenter's square too.

My boyfriend's mom showed me how to make this quilt. My squares are six by six inches. I sewed the top first then I sewed the back then I marked the wrong side of the backing fabric with rows of five inch by five inch. Then I sewed row by row making tubes. In the middle of each square I would make a half inch gather so that each square matched up per my markings. Once I sewed all the rows one way then I started with sewing down the middle of the quilt and stitched in the ditch and gather half inch all the way down. Then one row at a time I would push a handful of stuffing all the way down each tube and then sew all the way down closing the square and repeat until I got to the end of the quilt. Then turn the quilt around and stuff and sew the other side. It's gets a little bulky so make sure you have plenty of table space to help hold the quilt while sewing. I made three of these quilts before I made this queen size. I love it. I am so glad that I finally have a room to display it in. Happy Quilting!!!!!

WOW that is pretty

Ok so you sewed the entire top of 6 x 6 squares together in your design. Then on the back did you sew 5 x 5 squares into strips and do it one strip at a time? I am a little confused, but I am new and have never made one.

Lovely quilt and the whole room looks so inviting. I especially like the contrast you have with the white,red, and dark browns in the room.

Very pretty! I just learned how to make biscuits, it was fun and easy.

Wow! Is the biscuit quilt hard and fussy to do?
