Hi dbarbey
Is this puff quilt hard to make? Any chance of a tutorial
one this? Any info appreciated. Thanks

that's really pretty! I've never heard of a puff quilt before! Cool!

Love your quilt. Here's my version which is VERY, VERY easy. It doesn't "puff" as much, but gives the same effect.

I love the looks of it!! I would love to have the pattern & directions. Haven't seen one before. I'm new here.

Love it, but so right about not wanting to do that much work again! The one I made is in my Avatar. Love your colors!

This is beautiful! I've never tackled one of these but have made 2 biscuit quilts and will probably tackle another one as it has turned out to be my oldest granddaughter's favorite throw and the biscuit throw is mine. The biscuit quilt is a huge queen throw so she has no need for that yet but it needs to have some of the biscuits stitched together and I may suggest she use it during her next visit and may just wait and show her how to do the mending and see if she would like to have it. I love your puff quilt but don't know if I'd have the patience to do it. I only tolerated the biscuit quilt because I'm a scrap quilter and every time I worked with a fabric, I'd also cut out a biscuit and accumulated them in a laundry basket until there were enough to put together. The putting together was honestly the worst part as I had to do them by hand. I assume you had to put your puffs together by hand as well.

Do you have a link for biscuit quilt? and maybe a pic? I thought they were the same, what is the difference?
Thanks a bunch!

Ditto! And it's also the ONLY puff quilt I've ever seen.

I know what you mean. I started one 3 years ago and it is still in pieces. I only have 13 rows sewn together. I think I got burned out making the puffs but my goal is to finish it but I'm not sure just what year. :oops: :oops:

That's why I only did a child's one, figured I would never get finished if it was too big. Though I admit the full size one in the book I had was tempting.
