- Sewing for beginners, showing you a simple project making a warm winter bed quilt! Things to gather:
1. Sewing Machine - amzn.to/1KKAMOD
2. Cotton - amzn.to/1LWpeJT
3. Sewing Scissors - amzn.to/1ObmipT
4. Tape Measure - amzn.to/1Obmndq
5. Sewing Pins - amzn.to/1Obmrtq
6. Vintage Inspired Fabric
7. Backing Fabric
8. Lining Fabric
9. 8 ½” Square Card
10. 7 ½” Square Card
11. Pencil
12. Dacron - amzn.to/1KKBb3B
13. Lots of patience! (About 30 hours)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Measure bed and decide on your quilt’s dimensions.
2. Lay out a vintage inspired fabric of your choice on a flat surface, this is your top fabric.
3. Using the larger card template and pencil to trace, mark squares on your top fabric. In this tutorial I make 64 squares from an 8 ½ inch template.
4. Cut out squares, nice and straight, with sewing scissors.
5. Do this again with your smaller square template and backing fabric. I use a 7 ½” square for my lining fabric, which is an inch smaller than the top fabric for a medium weight quilt.
6. Put these into two neat piles in front of you.
7. Take one square of your top fabric and one of your base fabric and laying one on top of the other, carefully lining up the edges, pin the corners together.
8. Now take make a small fold or pleat in the top fabric along 3 of the 4 edges and pin to the base fabric. Make sure you have your fabric’s edges lining up neatly and smoothly and that you have left on side open for filling later.
9. Now you can sew along the three pinned edges, make sure you backstitch at the start and finish points so that the stitching won't unravel.
10. Once you have done this step, and have made your two piles of fabric into cells, you can begin to sew the cells together. Start with two cells and carefully line up the edges before you pin and then sew. You must be accurate or it will become very difficult later on. Make sure that the top fabric of each cell is facing the same side, and that the open edges all face one in one direction.
11. When you have sewed two cells together you can add a third and then a fourth and so on. In this tutorial my quilt is a big square: 8 cells by 8 cells, so I sewed together 8 cells like this in a long band, and then started my next band until I had 8 individual bands made up of 8 cells each.
12. Now you can stuff your cells with the padding, pinning the cells closed as you go with the neat little fold in the middle of each cell to keep the edges smooth.
13. Sew the stuffed bands closed.
14. Sew together the bands, it will be easier if you do this in smaller sections.
15.Now you can sew on the backing fabric by placing the two right sides together and then stitching all the way around leaving a generous opening to pull the quilt through. For help with ‘enveloping’ and ‘bagging out’ you might like to watch my tutorial ‘How to Sew For Beginners Part 8: Bagging-Out and Finishing’.
16. Give your quilt a good shake out and hand stitch the last bit closed.
17. Enjoy your lovely and warm heirloom quilt!

I made this quilt and it is very very warm. It’s ideal in these winter months of UKs cost of living crisis.
The thing I love about this tutorial is that you're demonstrating it without fancy equipment like a giant cutting table, or even a rotary cutter. When I see a tutorial where the person is using the fancy rotary cutter with the huge clear ruler and a bed-sized cutting mat, I feel like I can't make that item because I don't have those tools. Using the template and the scissors makes me feel like I could actually do that at my dining table, which is where I sew.
These remind me of what my grandma use to have on all the beds in the rooms.. she passed when I was very young and I always wanted to know how to do this.. THANK YOU 🤗 FOR YOU REMIND ME OF HOME 💕
I made one of these about 25 years ago for my then little girl, she's 27 now and a busy mum. You have inspired me to make another and the best thing is I still have the same fabric I used before. Thank you Astar.
+Susie Hale That's lovely! Good luck xx

what a despicable comment.
EHN Disgusting and pathetic
Cat Kola It wasnt susie .... EHN was the name
I’m going to try my hand at making one of these for 2023. Bless you for sharing all your wonderful talents.
I never got the hang of quilting, so I let my sister shine bright for her quilt making skills that are stunning.
Gorgeous saw this by you years ago recently wanted to make one in linen couldn’t remember the name but was searching fruitlessly for days then finally you popped up :)
My mom and I made this quilt for my aunt while she was going through treatment’s for cancer. We made it in old rose solid on one side and a lovely old rose with white roses on the other. She absolutely loved it and cherished it until she passed. Thank you for the refresher and I’m definitely going to make one for myself and each family member for winter. It’s such a warm snuggly quilt you can almost use for a mattress. I’m delighted to see your wonderful instruction’s and your video was appreciated. Thank you for refreshing my lovely memories. Dee💖
Dee, I am so pleased your Aunt loved her quilt. Special moments to hold on too. God bless Astar
I want to live on that quilt lol. I'm making a baby sized one (or trying to...) but seeing this makes me want to make a grown up one for myself too😊 Thanks for the clear instructions, this was very helpful!
I have only just discovered you and this wonderful video and I shall definitely watch again!
...And I mean this with absolute love when I say that you're like the Fanny Craddock of sewing... just wonderful!
+weehillywinky1 That's so lovely! Thank you xx
That is the most beautiful bedspread!
Thank you for sharing your work.
Don't you just love this woman?!
Simply for the way she teaches us. And how she wipes everything of the table with such passion.... 😂.
She makes me feel like I can make everything she teaches.
What a lovely powerful woman❤
This is called a "biscuit quilt" here in the South. Your version is so beautiful! Thank you for your videos!
Yes that’s what we know it as! It is a lovely warm cuddly quilt. ♥️
It annoys me but it won't annoy you because it won't be on your bed! Lol! Best line ever! Gotta love Astar!
I love the way she just shoved everything off the table when she was done showing how to use the materials. :)
I am going to make myself one of these in girly pink forals! Thank you for this wonderful video!
This will be warmer, more comfortable and luxurious than a bought one. Thank you
to the ladies who want to know what type of material to use, I used basic sheeting cotton for the top, and old duvet cut up for the underneath of the puffs and backed the whole thing onto an oversized fleece. I also attached each of the squares to the backing by sewing on small covered buttons where four squares joined. It looks amazing and is warm and snug. Brilliant Tutorial, thankyou.
mad but happy me What a great idea!!
I love how you looks so posh but you know what you're talking about.
It's beautiful! I can't wait until I have time to make one. Thank you.
Love her ...so funny ...no nonsense...practical instructions.......
Debbie shore
What a perfect tutorial!!!! Quick, to the point and makes you think that it's the easiest thing to make. I love the presenter and her style. Absolutely fantastic!!!! Thank you!
You do it SO different and so better! Starting this project this week, so that 'hopefully' it will make a good present for my newly married niece.
Wonderful! Just wonderful! Looks so warm and cozy. It's winter here right now and I would love to cuddle under that! Thanks for sharing. Love your video.
Astar this is so amazing. Thank you so much for sharing it.
I think this was lovely! I want to get back into sewing but I have no experience machine sewing. I want to learn! This is actually one of the biggest things I want to do! I can't find comforters that I like so I want to make one that I love! Thank you Astar!
Beautiful and thanks for sharing this video on how to puff quilt! Will give that a try someday soon. :)
This Video kept popping up on my suggested list, and I never watched because it looked overwhelming. sooooo glad I decided to watch this morning. I now love you. This has to hear the easiest way I've see to make this quilt, and by far the prettiest.
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us. After watching your video I am now excited to move on from the quilt top I have been finishing to making a eiderdown just like my Nana used to have.I just want to say that you are immaculately presented and look gorgeous. I love your sense of style.I will be watching more of your videos. Also I heard about you from a commenter on an American Quilting video. She said how good you were and commented on your ' darling accent ' LOL As I too am a Kiwi I found that really amusing.
Beautiful quilt!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
I am totally going to make this for my bed and my Mom's bed when she visits my house!!! Thanks for the videos! Love them all!
I made one of these in pastel colours for my daughter last year. To keep the puffs together with the fleece backing I sewed tiny polka dot buttons into corner where four squares joined. I am now making one for my son. Brilliant tutorial and a fabulous heirloom quilt. Thankyou. x
Thank you! Thank you ! Thank you! Years ago my brother gave me my Mom and sisters and niece puff quilts a friend made for him. I have searched for quilts like them. They are the warmest blankets ever. Thanks to you I can make one.

I made this. Very similar motif, color was ice blue.
Beautiful. Thank you for a top-notch tutorial.
Ty for showing us this! I just found your channel and have been trying to find someone who made thick comforters just like this!
What a great tutorial! I think I'm going to make a patchwork one in baby colors. I'll also use my rotary cutter to save time cutting. Thanks for the great idea. Sharon in Michigan, USA.
Talking about how that one little place didn't match up on the beautiful blanket absolutely cracked me up. BEEN THERE!!! No one else will ever notice, but to the seamstress.... OMGosh! LOL That is such a lovely puff blanket. I didn't know that was how they were made. Thank You!!!
Hello Rachel, to be really honest, even now that 'little piece' that didn't match up, it still annoys me. However as I keep telling myself there are far more important things to worry about! Astar
You are such a Great Teacher, you are absolutely So Good at all your projects, I am very happy to have found you. My grandma taught me how to sew and my mom always helped me finish my projects. You have replaced them both - just don't let them know I told you!!!
Focus That's so nice! Your secret is safe with me!
loved this, I have been searching for a comforter for months! This will be so much fun to make! Thank for sharing!
I've always wanted one of these... I made a stunning powder blue one to go into the nursery. Everyone loves it! Thanks for the tutorial xx
+Donna Williams No problem - good luck! xx
I absolutely LOVE her accent !!!!!!
Your handy work is amazing!! .love a tutorial where artists get right to the point, with concise instructions. Thank you....
I just loved the way you made it all look so clear and simple to do. I'm a newly quilter, but will definitely try this beautiful quilt. Thank you for a great tutorial
I've made one of these for my daughter and now am making one for my son. Hopefully they will become family heirlooms. Thankyou for your brilliant videos.
Thank you!!! I'm going to try this. Making for my grandson. From South Africa, Cape Town
Beautiful, I was looking. How to make baby ones, but your video was the most instructional. You inspired me to dream up one for my bed as well! Thanks so much
If you were my neighbor I'd borrow sugar everyday 😂🤣😂. You just seem like so proper and sophisticated like I could learn so much from you 😄.. until then I'll just subscribe 😂.
I was searching this kind of quilting for my fashion ideation, thank you!❤️❤️❤️
Great project. Will file that away until our Winter as it's Summer up here in Canada now.
I need to give quilting another try. That looks easy enough.
This is a wonderful video. I have a daybed that I am going to use as a couch and this would be a wonderful quilt to make. I have black and white fabric I purchased several yrs ago, 11 yrds to be exact. I will make it out of that. Cant wait.
Excellent ...Thanks so uch for sharing. You dont meet many people who want to share their talants. Thanks so much.
+Astar's Place This is delicious. Thank you, I just love it. Also I like the way you show us the pitfalls to watch out for. Thank you!!
Thank you Astar you make it look so easy/effortless and your accent is beautiful you are really "A Star"
Thank you! I've never done quilting before and this has inspired me to make a start! I need to make a liner for a large Moses basket and this has given me some guidance to help do that (with less padding) ;-)
I made this quilt following your video instructions. It is BEAUTIFUL!
DeBrina Diane Sanchez - there is a bit of work involved but how great does it feel looking at what you achieved. Well done you. I'm thrilled to hear you are pleased with your mighty effort. Hope it wasn't a marathon! X Astar
You bless me with the tutorials you present to us. I hope to accomplish one of these. Looks so comfy❗️✂️
Sorry I forgot to say it reminds me of my bedcover as a child. Treasured and loved, then passed down through the family it was already about 50years old when I had it. I'm nearly 60 and it's still going strong a testament to the hours of minute hand sewing. It was an eiderdown I think that is because it was filled with feathers lol your favourite.
I've just started watching your channel and I just wanted to say you are such a classy lady. I really enjoy your work. Thank you.
I've just found your video. Absolutely fabulous instructions, and oh you do make me laugh...
You have inspired me to make one of your gorgeous quilts. Love your fabric choice. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Brilliant. Best wishes Diane
I love it I been wanting to make this for last couple of year I love how you explain it
I love your dress! As well as the quilt and your humor of course 😊
You look soo like a young Joan Collins....its uncanny.:)
i like that fact that you talk n teach n demonstrates awesome !
I know you showed us your one little mistake and yes we all make them and whomever we give our gifted to they won't ever notice them unless they sew/quilt themselves! You are the reason I made a crib size boys puff quilt for my Best friends daughter and she loves it! But as you said they are a lot of work and I'm not sure I will ever do another but to see the persons face you made it for, makes it all worth the while!! Thank you for a Great tutorial on this quilt blanket!! You are Awesome!!!
Thank you for being a good inspiration to me I think I'm going to start making things for myself instead of buying them from now on
Oh wow! I just love the whole video! The quilt is an absolute bonus. 🤣😂 Astar, the enthusiasm and the wonderfully chatty way you instruct is brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing. I think your channel is going to be a favourite of mine. Absolute gem and I can not wait to have a go at this!
I love this, can not wait to try to make one. Thank you for sharing your talents, and awesome tutorial, easy to follow and understand. Look forward to watching more of your tutorials.
