Beachside Quilter Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 I was inspired by Threadtales blogspot to make this flannel quilt for my great niece. It's called "One Fell Swoop". Simply cut strips of fabric, load backing and backing and piece entirely on the longarm. Worked great on my Millie! The hardest part was piecing the backing as it is directional and when I pieced it one side was upside down. I noticed it when I loaded it so fixed it before quilting. Took about 3 hours from start to finish. Quilted with my Milky Way boards. Super fast and easy! I'm going to use this method again when I need a quick quilt. Now I just have to do the binding! https://www.flickr.com/photos/95121367@N02/sets/72157645309237625/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oma Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 I've seen that technique used with Minky. Turns out nice and it's easier than doing it on the DSM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CindyT Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Looks great! I made one all on the long arm last year for my nephew's early wedding present. It was king size though and took me all day. I stitched the binding on the front with the long arm, too. Cut my strips with the grain so I didn't have to piece them. I had very little material left. Makes for a quick quilt for sure.
