Puff Squares
1 Attachment(s)
This will probably be a lifetime project :)
|
Looks like it will be a sweet quilt.
|
Even if it is a lifetime project, it will be fun, and it is very pretty. I have not seen one of those in a while. What are you stuffing the squares with?
|
Looks like you have a good start. Keep it up,
|
Made a puff quilt myself and was a fun quilt to make.Like the scrappy look.....
|
Sweet! Love it
|
Very cute!
|
Yes, you are probably correct. It does take time to make one of these quilts.
|
these look like they're made different than I've seen before. they look gathered in the middle. would you share your method or point me to the directions. I've always wanted to make one of these...........thanks.
|
Pretty! The puffs are really cute!
|

I will take pictures of my pattern and process when I can...
|
I never wanted to make a biscuit quilt but I really like the way your squares look. What size are your finished squares? Did you start with a circle? Neat idea.
|
On my bucket list!!
|
Enjoy the "journey" and please show us the result when you reach the "destination".
|
looks great!!!
|
Love the scrappy look. Are you hand sewing your puffs. I would like a project to do when I am watching my favorite show. Looking forward to your method of putting the puffs together. Thanks for posting the picture!
|
It will be a very nice quilt and not need quilting. Good job.
|
it seems like it will take forever, but it doesn't -- but i had help, little hands are good at that! -- and it is also the most cherished because of that!

First installment of process
3 Attachment(s)
by lifetime project, I mean I may keep adding to it... :) I do enjoy the process of it, and in the middle stages it is easy to take along when I know I need something to do with my hands....
Here we go... I found the original pattern in a book that I no longer have. It is actually called Square YoYo. The pattern was for 11" squares, but I had 10" squares from a frabric exchange I was part of many many moons ago, so I modified it. I modified it futher to make it easier to use with rotary cutter. Also, folded the squares corner to corner twice to fit the modified pattern. |
Installment 2, cutting
6 Attachment(s)
Cutting, I use a ruler just to make sure I don't trim my pattern :P and scissors on the last step because of the slightly curved line.
|
Will be a fluffy sweet quilt.
|
Super cute. Looks like fun.
|
Very nice...thanks for sharing.
|
I just finished my third Rag Puff quilt, this one is 50 X 50. I cut the squares 8 1/2", eight rows across and down. This one is for my niece.
|
really like your puffy quilt-it will be beautiful when finished

Installment 3 Sewing

Fold in half with right sides together. Sew the outside edges, then fold the other way and match the other two sides and sew.
|
installment 4 Batting and finishing the square
7 Attachment(s)
Cut desired batting to approximate size of square (when all 4 edges are sewn together, open up the bottom so it sits flat and the sides stick up with a hole in the top) However thick you want.
The wrong side of the fabric will be facing out. The right side is inside. Using a large safety pin, pin the batting to the square from inside the hole (right side of fabric). Turn inside out, work the corners and batting out. Fold raw edges at the top of opening in and sew a large gathering stitch. I use a heavy duty thread, doubled for this part. Pull tight, tie off, make one quilt stitch through the bottom where the folds cross, back up and tie off again. Square is done :) |
Installment 5 Almost there :)
3 Attachment(s)
I just use a simple stitch to sew the squares together.
To make it easier, I finger press the edges before I start. Assemble a whole row, then put the row on the quilt.... Then go back and do small visible stitches in pretty colors to hold the squares tight to each other, and close the small gaps my simpler stitch left. No two fabrics alike, and I try not to put any two of the same color, value, or pattern style next to each other. whew, all done. I need to find my tripod. |
Awesome. Thanks for the tute.
|
thanks for posting your method-can't wait to try it
|
Wow oh wow!
|
It is a lot of fun, but gets tedious after a while, so I put it away until it calls to me again :) I hope some of you try it!
|
When I was a teenager, many 50+- years ago, a neighbor lady I would stay with when mom and dad went away, made these squares, sewed up 3 1/2 sides turned right side out and used poly fill, sewed opening closed and tied the center with yarn or heavy thread and tied a knot in center of each one. Then made rows and sewed them together to make a quilt. Never saw a finished quit that I noticed, but lots of squares that I remember. Love this pattern. Thanks for the pictures.
|
It will definatlely be warm.
|
Very pretty. I made a baby puff quilt that I just gave to my GD's friend last week. She just loved it. Always thought about making one for my bed too but you know how that goes! lol Just not enough hours in the day
|
Thank you so much for the tutorial. Seems like it would be doable.
