I love this, it looks so inviting. What size did you make the squares

I added a backing for hiding the raw edges. Batting is optional!

I just finished one - it's sooo heavy - I stuffed it too much. It was a booger to put the back on tho. I'll try to post a pix later.

THanks for explaining this. I made one yrs. ago & couldn't remember how the back turned out. I sure love yours.

I made one pillow many years ago, and that was it. The pattern was in a Family Circle magazine in the late 1970's. Lovely work, Geta.

Gosh, this brings back memories! I remember seeing that pattern 30-40 yrs ago, and thinking I would like to make one some day.

Thank you for showing your beautiful quilt (reminder for me)

I Love Puff Quilts. I have never used a sewing machine. I've been sewing quilts for 5 years by hand. I am now on Quilt #72. I am a Cherokee Indian. When I 1st put videos on youtube a few years ago, people picked up on my Hello Video, showing my 1st Quilt ever, 955 puff patches, no 2 the same fabric. I keep making quilts. Most quilts look flat to me, I like them warm, thick. I wish other quilters would learn my simple style of fast, cheap recycled puff quilts. I have Asperger's. I am 36 years old.
