Sew a 3'x5' Quilt Before Waffles and Coffee! Yes! Simple and Fast!
You Can Create a Fun 3'x5' Quilt in 7 Simple, Lightening Fast Steps All Before Waffles and Coffee!
The Secret??? 6" Squares.
No Fancy Cutting and Matching to create Patterns with Shapes. The Beauty of this Quilt is in the Mixing of Fabrics and Patterns. A Crazy Quilt created from Simple 6" Square Blocks. The Sewing is Fast and the Results are So Very Fun!
Mix Cotton, Flannel, Linen Fabrics in Fun Patterns and Solids.
Cut the Fabric into 6" Squares.
A rotary cutter set makes cutting the squares fast and easy.

Six - 6" squares will create a 3' row. A perfect width for a child's quilt.
10 Rows will create a 5' long Quilt Top.
When you have 10 rows completed, spread the Rows out on a table and design your Quilt Top.
Try to line up the corners of the squares to keep the rows straight. But a little wonky adds to the charm. :)
The Back is larger than the Quilt Top. The Back will wrap around to the front to create an Edge. A Flannel Back is the perfect snuggle fabric for the Quilt Back.
First, Lay down the Flannel Back. Next add the Batting - Smooth out any lumps or wrinkles. Finish by topping with the Quilt Top. The Quilt Sandwich.
Sew around the edges to frame and secure the Quilt Top.
Top Stitch between the horizontal rows across the quilt. Then Top Stitch between the Long Vertical Rows down the quilt. Top Stitching or "quilting" keeps all the layers in place.
Mmm...Delicious. Both the Waffles and the Quilt!

I have never made a quilt, but I will now. You made it seem easy. Thanks for all the pertainent steps!
However, knowing me, it will take me through many meals before it's completed. My husband and daughter both love themed T-shirts and suggested I make a quilt from their well worn discards. Now I feel ready to approach the challenge.
