Some 5 Yard Quilts that have made and quilted with Minky backs
 

These are a couple of the 5 yard quilts that I have made and quilted these past couple of months. The Aqua one started out as a five yard quilted and I ended up tripling it.I really liked the colors and decided we would use if for our queen bed. I quilted it with a all over feather meander, the horse one I quilted with a Rodeo design, and the black and red one with swirly feather design, the pink one with Maggie's rose design.

And there were more 5 yard Quilts
 

A couple more of the 5 yard quilts, they are so much fun to make.....and quilt.....and love seeing how they change with a different fabric line. Also the Deer one was a panel that my son really like and he loves the color orange so tada it is his quilt. These all also have Minky on that back too.

They are all so lovely, no wonder he likes the deer & stag, Wow!

P.S Forgot to ask.... the second last quilt is a pattern I really want to make, do you know what it is called? Thanks....

I do love your work!

Heather all of them except the deer one here is the same pattern and is called a "5 yard quilt" it is free over the Internet just put in 5 yard quilt and you will come up with a few different ones. I actually have seen I think 6 different free 5 yard quilts. If you can't find it let me know.

I like them all, very nice.

very nice quilta!!!

very nice!!!

WOW!!!! Those are beautiful. Thanks for showing them.

Where did you find the horse fabric?

The first quilt with horses is some I had gotten quite a few years ago in Edgemont, Sd at Nuts And Bolts Fabric Store. The second horse quilt was more recent it was a line out this year called Horse Pond, I had made these as samples for Quilt Connection. They are out of the fabric but may be able to do a Internet search and find it.

Thank you all for the very kind remarks.

You have been very productive. good for you.

Very, very nice!

Thanks heaps! Will look it up :)

Wow! These quilts are all fabulous. Thank you for sharing.

Gosh, I don't know which one I like best.

You've got some wonderful quilts done!

Those are really pretty. Nice quilting too.

Thanks for sharing......as a new quilter it helps to see how different the quilt looks with different fabrics! Very nice!

All are simply stunning!!!!!!!

All of your quilts are just beautiful. Your quilting and the Minkee make them even more so.

Thanks JAGSD. I was able to print the instructions. Looks like another fun one to do for charity.

They are all quite lovely.

Love the last one, with deer panel. All of them are really nice!

Enjoy. They go together rather quickly and would make nice charity quilts too. A lot have been making the for lChristmas presents since they are. Nice lap size. Be sure and post pictures would love to see more ways they are done.

All the quilts are lovely...
I haven't read on to see if anyone has put the pattern on so forgive me if this is a repeat.

Love the top and bottom quilts. What is a five yard quilt?

Wow they are all beUtiful. I actually have the horse fabric - love what you did with it. You have given me some wonderful ideas. I make a lot of quilts for hospice.

Thanks! I enjoyed seeing your quilts. Your quilting is amazing.

One question for you please... I made a quillow using minky for the backing.With a Quillow, you sew around the quilt sandwich and turn the quilt right sides out and slip stich the opening closed. I had a problem with the minky back stretching longer in length than the front , which was cotton.

What did I do wrong when quilting with the minky? I appreciate any tips you have learned while quilting with minky.

Thank you so much for the link, have it printed out, never heard of them before.

Nicely done. Are those lap quilts or full size? You did great.

I have a longarm, but when I quilt with Minky as long as I put the stretchiest direction left and right on my rollers, so when I roll it they do not for the most part stretch. Don't get me wrong it does but "very little" if it does.BUT not the curling crazy stuff. The Minky works well with these quilts too because of size. There is no piecing of it. If you are quilting on a domestic machine when quilting you usually work from the center out if I remember right and I would think the "stretches" would be a problem. But with just going around the edges, maybe make sure the same stretch goes the same direction for both top and back and possible a stabilizer. To be honest outside of using a stabilizer I don't know how to change that outcome and would love to hear what anybody else has been successful with.
The only other thing I can think of is Pin Pin Pin Pin.

Those are beautiful! !

I love them all but I like the deer one the best!! Great job!

A tremendous job!

Nicely done

They look great..

Thanks for the idea. I have some beautiful print fabric that I want to FINALLY make a quilt for myself and have been undecided about a pattern. This pattern is perfect. I will get to see the fabric and compliment with other colors. Thanks again.

Just read the book on 5 yard quilts interesting for sure ..I think my next quilts are all going to be panels with dp9 around them .. LOL I know getting lazy in my old age !LOL
