The Quilted Forest is a quilt shop in Iowa. It's my favorite online quilting channel.
First in a series of 11, The Quilted Forest (Iowa) shows how to make this simple (oh,so easy!) quilt: I think its a variation of the Rail Fence?
The second was pretty cool, too! And super easy.
The third quilt was a version of the Rail Fence Quilt. It wasn't quite a simple because you have to really pay attention to colors, making sure the two main colors are REALLY different.
Her fourth in the series was the standard jelly roll race quilt. She used homespuns and flannels for both of these. For the first she sewed the original strip together end to end, and for the second she sewed the strips together diagonally. She had a huge amount of strips for the first quilt - it ended up being 120 inches long - so she cut off some of the bottom rows to add to each side to make it wider. I love the black strip she added. Brilliant quilt!
Strip Quilt Number 5 is using a Moda pattern called Half Step. On the first she used a jelly roll, on the second she used scraps. She chose pastels and divided them into like colors.
The sixth strip quilt is made from a Moda pattern called Smoothie Time.
She made two - one from her leftover Halloween strips, and one from her leftover Christmas strips.
She made the Christmas one bigger than the Halloween, and added a black border so that it didn't appear too "busy." I like it.
Unfortunately, there never seems to be a photo of the whole quilt. Oh well.....
Her seventh quilt was from her Block of the Month series, December 2022. It makes a 16-inch block, and uses all scrappy fabrics. She had so many squares finished that she made this one a REVERSABLE quilt!
And here's the reverse:
The eighth quilt is made from a pattern called "Let's Dance" and she made a baby quilt using pastel colors. It's a HST quilt.
Here's the.YouTube instructional video.
The ninth quilt is a little more work, lots of small pieces with sashing that has cornerstones. It's really pretty, though! The pattern is called "Quadrangle
Here's the instructional video with all sorts of hints.
Quilt 10 is a pattern called "Spiny Peaks," and is quite striking, especially done in two very different colors like the black and bright pink. I think the pattern calls for one of the colors to be white, but I love the idea of using scraps.
Here's the YouTube videoYouTube video showing how it goes together.
Number 11 is called "Type It." Put together in an interesting way, without a lot of fussy measuring to get the lighter color in the middle to have an interesting "path."
