    Quick Quilts from Pre-cuts

    Last Modified: May 5, 2017 by Amy · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads · 503 Comments

    Amy Smart Craftsy Class Quilts

    I’m finally getting around to sharing a few of the new quilts I created this spring for my Pre-cuts Short-cuts: Quilt Tops in Less Time online Craftsy class. I loved making them and the fabric is now in shops so I thought it would be fun to give them their own feature. Plus a chance to give away some fabric. 😉

    Amy Smart Crosshatch quilt

    The first is this Crosshatch quilt made from Lella Boutique’s latest collection, Little Miss Sunshine. It’s such a fun, summer-y, cheerful collection of colors and prints. I love how the navy blue in there provides some contrast and helps the other colors pop.

    Pre-Cut Short-Cuts Craftsy Class by Amy Smart

    This quilt is totally pre-cuts friendly. I made this quilt for my Craftsy class using a Layer Cake – or set of 10″ x 10″ squares. But it can also be made with Charm squares (5″ x 5″) and a Jelly Roll (2 ½″ strips). The pattern is really versatile and great for showing off a variety of fabrics.

    S

    Little Miss Sunshine is available from Lou Lou’s Fabric Shop, Bloomerie Fabrics, Westwood Acres, Southern Fabrics, and the Fat Quarter Shop.
    Bonnie and Camille Little Ruby Basketweave Quilt

    The second quilt is a brand new design for me called Basket Weave and it’s exclusive to this class.  This quilt is also pre-cuts friendly. With the exception of the borders/binding, the entire quilt top is made from 2 sets of 10″ x 10″ squares (aka Layer Cakes). It also involves strip-piecing (with squares! I know!) to save time and make it a deceptively quick project!

    Basketweave Quilt by Amy Smart

    The fabric for this quilt is Bonnie and Camille’s latest collection for Moda, Little Ruby in some of their signature colors. There are a lot of great small-scale prints – many that make great blenders in this collection. Little Ruby is available from Fort Worth Fabric Studio, Pink Castle Fabrics, Lady Belle Fabrics, and the Fat Quarter Shop.

    Quilting Amy Smart Basket Weave quilt

    The quilting on both quilts was done by Sew Shabby Quilting. I especially love the Nifty Feather pattern she used on this one to give it a soft, vintage look that works so well with the vintage feel of the fabric and colors.

    Amy Smart Basketweave quilt pattern

    I think this picture is my favorite. Monday night my husband and I dragged our kids up the nearby canyon for a hike in the mountains. It was SO wonderful. (I love escaping the heat to the mountains this time of year.) Once again I just happened to bring a quilt with me for a quick picture. My family is no longer surprised when I do this. 😉

    You can see the rest of the quilts from my Craftsy class here.

    Moda Little Miss Sunshine giveawayIn honor of my class release a few weeks ago and all of the kind support I’ve received from so many of you, I’ve got 2 sets of fabric to give away so that one of you out there can make your own! (Or do with whatever your heart desires!)

    Thanks to the generosity of Moda Fabrics I’m giving away a Jelly Roll and Charm pack of Little Miss Sunshine…

    Bonnie and Camille Little Ruby Giveaway

    … and I’ve also got two 10″ x 10″ Layer Cakes to make the Basket Weave quilt top: One Layer Cake of Little Ruby and one set of Kona Snow 10″ x 10″ squares. Good stuff!

    To enter to win, leave a comment on this post (to comment, click the ‘word bubble’ with the number at the top right of this post). If you want, tell me something new you’d love to learn about quilting! Giveaway open until Wednesday, June 29 at midnight MST. I will randomly choose 2 winners – 1 for each prize. GIVEAWAY CLOSED

    I love your new ideas for layer cakes. They are harder for me to come up with new ideas for. Especially ideas that don’t involve a really big block. Your Basket Weave quilt it perfect.

    and

    VIKKIB June 25, 2016 at 10:47 am

    What great quilts! I love them (and that they use precuts). Both fabric choices are so lovely as well! I love learning new things and I think my next challenge will be to get better at curves (I keep attempting and then giving up after 1 square, lol).

    Amy Smart Pre-cuts ShortCuts Craftsy

    As I mentioned, both quilts are 2 of the 7 patterns taught in my class. In addition to the instructions for the quilts themselves, the class also has lots of tips for working with pre-cuts in general as well as choosing fabric and color placement in your quilts. And because I love you all, you can click here to get this class for 50% off!

    (This post contains an affiliate link to my class -which means, I get paid if you buy this class. 😉 )

      Amy,
      The one thing above all you have taught me is perseverance! You make quilting look effortless. Being a novice quilter your teachings have shown me that it not always the end result, but the process of learning. I now have more confidence to do what I thought before, was a daunting task. Your quilting is beautiful and done so well. I hope I can someday reach a point where I can call myself a quiltist!
      Thank you for all that you do.

It would be magnificent to win either of these wonderful fabric prizes. The one thing that I would love to learn is Free Motion Quilting. I just can not seem to get the speed and hand movement to balance together on top of which I end up with all sorts of tension problems on the underside of the quilt. Yet, I do continue to try! Thank you for sharing and offering this great chance at the two prizes. Have a fantastic creative day!

      When using precuts, I always struggle with the pinked edges and the seam allowance. How do you make sure the seam is secure? Which part of the pinked edge is really the edge? I have had a completed quilt pop a seam with precuts. I’m not sure how to repair it, short of unpicking the quilting. Thanks!

      I always enjoy seeing new ideas for using pre-cuts because there are so many beautiful ones out there and they save a ton of time! I also love that I can get 20 or 30 (or sometimes even 40!) different prints all in one pkg. which takes the guess/planning work out of picking fabrics. Thanks for sharing your ideas!

      I’d love a basics tutorial. It seems silly, but when I cut my fabric for a pattern, lets say 4.5 x4.5, does the fabric fall under the markings, a little past, a little prior? All this talk about threads has got me wondering how to stay consistent so my pieceing doesn’t begin to misalign by the lovely 1/4″.

      Not exactly something new but a class that shows tips n techniques for troubleshooting during the basting and the quilting process. I have big issues such as best way to quilt for major seams (without using stitch in the ditch) and lessening the shifting of layers.

      I’ve just startesd looking into an ancient quilting technique called Kantha. It uses old worn out saris sewn together in stacks instead of a batting. It uses a running stitch in several patterns, but it proves our ancestors were frugal and made blankets for their loved ones even long ago. Other than that, I am hoping to wedge some quilting time in during the summer school break!

      I enjoy piecing quilts a lot and have made many. There always seems to be something new to learn. What I would like to learn next is how to do my own quilting. The hardest part of that is getting it basted. I have attempted to quilt a top that was not basted properly and it was not pretty. I am still ripping.

They love to go to the fabric store with me. So I’m thinking they could pick out the fabric, decide on the layout for the top, and sit on my lap while we quilt. One of these bundles would be great for my youngest’s quilt. Can’t wait to take your Craftsy class either!

      I love pre-cuts but need to stretch the patterns I traditionally see for them.

      You have made really beautiful quilt with precuts. They are so handy, and I love that I don’t have to match up so many fabrics myself!

      I’ve been dying to make my first quilt for a while now, but I just haven’t been able to find the time to start! Hopefully that can change soon, cause these look gorgeous =)

      I am on my 9th quilt thanks to YOU!! I found your beginners tutorials and was hooked. I’m actually starting my first precut quilt and it’s the fig tree farmhouse that you did.
      I would love to win something from your website. I’m actually 6th day into recovery from a double mastectomy. Good ole breast cancer snuck into my life a month ago. Thank the lord it’s not in my lymph.
      Thank you for your website, beautiful photos and the inspiration you gave me.

        Good for you on 9 quilts! That’s so awesome! Not awesome about the double mastectomy. A good friend of mine just went through that a few months ago and it was tough to watch. I’m so sorry, but so glad it wasn’t in your lymph nodes! Thank you for your kind words. Wishing you the very best in your recovery – I hope each day gets a little better. xoxo

      I would like to learn to be both more patient and more precise. I just started quilting this past February. I absolutely love it. Unfortunately, I am out of control and trying to do so much – like a kid at the fair. Your projects look so good: uniform, balanced, precise. Really good stuff 😀

      I am interested in hand binding and the best tools for quilting at home (specifically how to mark quilts). I have tried different products and find that I am not really sure what I am doing. I used one of those blue marking pencils and it never would wash out. I have tried painting tape as well, but it doesn’t stay stuck to the quilt.

Luckily that warm quilt coming out of the dryer for the first time inspires me to do more. Thanks for your inspiration!

      Such gorgeous quilts! I love precuts! As a beginner quilter I have found precuts to be so helpful. Walking into my local quilt shop, it is so intimidating to me to pick out colors and patterns that both work well together and work with the pattern I’m using. They are also such time savers which comes in handy with my active household.
