.Welcome to another “Three of 3 on A Tuesday”. I will have THREE things or links of 3 topics for you to visit/read on Tuesday to either showcase tutorials, inspirations, random daily thoughts or it could be any fabric/notion sales running that particular week. So for today, here are the THREE of 3 things:
How to know when to buy yards and yards of fabrics for backing?
Do you stash fabrics that are specifically for backing a quilt?
They need to be a large piece for sure and buying large pieces of fabrics is risky.
In the end, it may seems that all of your quilt doesn’t match the backing fabric you have in stash. Have you been in this situation before?
And if there are any fabrics, the fabric is not enough to back a quilt. Ughhh.
That’s me. Cause I rarely ever buy more than 3 yards of the same fabric. Not even on when they’re on sale.
I think 3 yards is the max.
Unless it’s a white solid. I buy those on bolts.
In today’s post, I’ll let you know how I get around with that and share with you some of the ways to work mix matching fabrics to make a quilt back large enough for your quilt.
This post is just going to be a fun one to share. Feel free to add more in the comment so we can have a laugh at it together.
Maybe something we quilters can relate to.
Or maybe a friend of a quilter, or a husband in particular. They pretty much understand these things cause theylive with one. 😛

So for today, here are the THREE of 3 things:
Whether that is just to quilt by stitching in the ditch, to stitch straight lines or even free motion quilting it. Or hand quilting it (which I believe will take even longer).
In the end, it will depend mostly on two factors.
Whether you want it densely quilted, the overall fluffiness of the quilt, the look you are targetting for etc.
Time will vary for different people depending on their capabilities. However, I do believe that with enough practice and motivation, one can master all type of design motif easily.
Though, they’ll still have to think about the time for some quilting designs are denser and requires a longer time to get it done.
There is always room for improvement.
And that has always been my motto for life. And I am always trying to simply improve little by little. Including my sewing skill.
In this post, I am going to be sharing with you 6 tips to improve accuracy for patchwork quilt making, so that you can be happily sewing blocks together into rows, and have those blocks all the same exact size.
Let me know if you have more tips to share. The comment box is always open for new input.
Just popping in with another work in progress: The Scrappy Trip Around the World Quilt
This was long due as it is a commision quilt, but whenever I do make commission quilt, I tend to procrastinate a lot. Not sure why.
I guess the scary part where you kind of worry that it might not match the expectation, or probably the restriction of the design or colors.
But I am braving through, hopefully, the owner will love it once it’s done.
