- Quilting on a budget can be tricky! Let me help you with tips and tricks on how I do it in this budget friendly quilting tutorial. This free pattern and video tutorial will help you save money and make a beautiful quilt! This is a perfect beginner friendly quilt pattern, too!
Here are all the instructions:
Press and cut all of the fabric into 2.5” Strips
We will get 7 strips per ½ yard = 56 strips, but we only need 32 strips-we will have extra but want variety, too.
Split Rail Fence Units
Need 15 blocks
Need at least 16 assorted strips; more strip sets will give you more variety. I am going to use 20 because of that.
Long Strip Set Units:
We need 12 assorted strips; set these aside You may want to have a bit of control over this; up to you. I used the navy to separate the sets, but you could make this completely scrappy-looking, too!
Split Rail Fence Blocks:
Make at least (4) strip sets that are made up of (4) strips each
Sub-cut these into 8.5” units (or the width of your set)
Lay out your blocks and strips and decide where you want them. Play with the design, turning the blocks and finding a layout you like
Once you have a layout you like, sew your strips together.

The budget fabrics pop more! Like the budget better. I get the quality issues as well having designer fabrics, so good that we have choices.
Budget the colours pop so much better
I love that one, too! I am pleasantly surprised! So grateful for my son's help with this one. He is a gem! Hope you enjoyed that footage, too. ❤️
The knock off is my favorite!
It's great, isn't it? I am so surprised at how much I love it!
I love the budget quilt!
Me too! I am pleasantly surprised since I loved the first one so much! Can't wait to see them both finished!

It turned out great, didn't it? I love it, too!

YESS! The different is amazing. I am trying to not be a fabric snob but... 😂
I know I like of the look of the knock-off
I like the budget fabric prints better. 😜
Me too! It is not what I thought would happen! LOL!
@@SewtheDistance I am a bit jealous. You now have 2 quilt tops done. Yay!!!
@@divadeb2u True! Lol! I can add them to the pile. 😬
Well your son is darling, and I like both quilts but the knock off is my preference ❤😊my goodness such a price differential, I did not know it would be that much of a difference
Thank you! He's a great kid!
I didn't either, when I started! I was shocked at the savings. So glad you enjoyed this video!
I liked the budget one better as far as eye candy but I certainly notice in my own quilting that better fabric is quite wonderful
Yes! Thank you! I feel the same way. ❤️
I love the knock off
Me too! I am pleasantly surprised at how well it turned out.
I like the designer fabrics better. Nice quilt.
Thank you! 😊 I do, too! I am so surprised!
Knock off is brighter colors so I vote for this
I like this one, too! We both have good taste! 😎
Kris I totally love the budget quilt fabric ❤
Me too! I am so surprised! I loved the designer one when I made it, but I really love the budget one now! I am looking forward to finishing them both. ❤️
The knock off- except the green was giving 4th of July picnic blanket vibes to me.
I like to feel the fabric!❤
Me too! ❤️
Love the knock off
Me too! ❤️
Enjoyed the shopping footage. I would like to see more.
Thank you! It was fun! I will see what I can do!
I like both of your quilts!
Aren't they great? I need to quilt them. Still haven't yet. I think quilting will make them sing even more. I will definitely share them when I do finished quilting them.
I like the knock off better. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!
I really like the knock off quilt more than the other. The colors are prettier.
Thank you! I think so, too! I was pleasantly surprised!
I like them both, you did a good job with the knock off one. Yay!
Thank you! They were both fun to make! ❤️
the knock off is really great
I like that one, too! ❤️
😊I love the knock off.❤
Me too! I am so surprised since I loved the original so much! Thanks for watching! ❤️
I like the designer fabric
They are pretty, aren't they?
I like the look of the knock off fabrics better. You’re making me want to go fabric shopping! Great video!
Thank you! I like the knock off, too! I think it is the navy blue that does it for me. Pleasantly surprised!
I really enjoyed the knock-off version. You did clearly explain very well how to get the quilt straight. Thanks
You are so welcome! ❤️
I love Bonnie and Camille
My favorite, too! ❤️❤️❤️
I love love the quilt tops both
Thank you! ❤️
Hey!
Your awesome!
What a great idea!🧵
Awww! Thank you! So glad you love it!
aka KPDuty Quilts. I was really surprised at how well you did matching the "bargain" fabrics to the original. I like them both!
Thank you so much! Honestly, we were a bit surprised, too! LOL! I had no idea if it would work or not!
I hear you, designer are easier to quilt with. But they are both wonderful! Thanks
Thank you so much! ❤️
I like the budget fabrics quilt best. I do agree that the more expensive fabrics are nicer to sew with though. Thanks for sharing your ideas! Making great memories with your son is the best. New subscriber today. Happy sewing! 💕
Oh, thank you so much for watching, subscribing, and commenting! It was so much fun to make this video with him. ❤️ so happy you love this!!
I love navy blue, so my favorite is of course the budget quilt
Thank you! It does make it pop!
Ohhh! I love the shopping footage and I love that you didn’t try to find a jelly roll with similar prints and shopped yardage! That’s a great idea! Plus yardage often has better deals when precuts don’t.
Yes! Thank you! I just had to put the shopping footage at the end. We had so much fun doing it together! Thanks so much, Fallon!
Knock offs is so “picnic…y! Love it!! Very cute idea
Thank you! 😊
The navy sashes of the knockoff prints are much more striking. It does a great job of pulling the design together. The turquoise of the jelly roll spreads out the design to the eye.
Great observation! Thank you so much! ❤️
I actually prefer the budget version, and it was enjoyable and informative to watch your process in the store. Thanks for a really thorough tutorial.
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it! We had a lot of fun picking fabric.
I like both quilt tops...great job on both❤
Thank you so much! 🥰
I like the knock off fabrics!
Me too! I was so surprised at home much I love this quilt. Thank you for watching! 🥰
Love, love that your son went and helped you!
He is the best! He is coming home again sometime this spring, and we are doing another project together. Stay tuned! ❤️
I like the knock off fabric colors much better.
I think I do, too! I didn't think I would, but that navy blue sure does make it pop! Thanks so much for watching!
i agree
it’s more cohesive
I agree! I like the knockoff better.
Agree…the turquoise was a distraction.
Your son really does have a good eye, and I enjoyed his thought process. Thank you for taking us along 🩵
Our pleasure! He is very good at color and design. I just wish he lived closer! He is in Vermont and I am in Pennsylvania. We did this back in May when he was visiting. ❤️
I totally LOVE this Idea!!!! WOW this is EXACTLY what I need to know also
Yay! So glad you like this idea! 🥰
I really enjoyed the shopping footage with your son. It would be so much fun to have a shopping buddy.
Thank you for showing the sewing tips and how to sew on a budget!
Glad you enjoyed it! I wish he lived closer. He lives in Vermont and we are in Pennsylvania. It was so nice of him to take time out of his visit to help his mom! ❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words! ❤️ I am happy it helps!
Both turned out cute but I have to admit that I am a designer snob also. We are all different and that’s what makes the world go ‘round, right? 😊
Thank you! So true! 🥰
I like the knock off colours better❤
I am with you, too! I am so surprised at how well the colors went together. ❤️
I enjoyed watching your son help you decided on fabrics. He is helpful! Good eye.
Thank you! He really does. I wish he lived closer. He is coming home this spring, so hopefully we can do another video together. Thank you for watching and for your kind words. ❤️
Fun video! I really like your teaching style.
Thanks so much! 🥰
What a wonderful project breakdown! I like how your son sees color. Can’t wait to see your blog!
Thank you so much! I love his eye for color, too! Now if he would only move closer so I can take him shopping more! LOL! The website will be up soon, I hope! Working on it today!
I like them both
Thank you! 🥰
I think quilt with what you can afford. Both turned beautifully
Great point! ❤️ Thank you so much!
There is no way that you are old enough to have a son that old. He's a real trooper too.
You are my new favorite person! Lol! I actually have another son who is four years older than him! I’m almost 52. ❤️
@@SewtheDistance you look so young....and pretty
@@leannemori9688 Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
I like the knock-off better. I thoroughly enjoyed your tutorial. Your spirit and energy and personality are delightful. I will definitely be watching more of your tutorials. Your son also added to the fun in finding fabrics. He really does have an artist's eye for color and scale.
Thank you for sharing your enthusiastic talent.
Oh wow! Thank YOU so much! You are so sweet!
My son is so good at this! I wish he lived closer. He lives in Vermont and I live in Pennsylvania, but when he comes home to visit, he always helps me with this kind of stuff. My other lives close by, but he isn't really into this kind of stuff. He does have other wonderful talents, however! Both great blessings in our lives. ❤️
I LOVE your video idea Kris❣So much fun🎉And your son helping you pick colors was golden!!!!!
Thank you so much! ❤️
Kristen, I really enjoy your tutorials. It was awesome to see your son helping select fabrics. I have a daughter that has no interest in sewing. She welcomes the quilts I make for her so I guess that's a good thing. Keep on keepin on girlfriend.
Thank you so much! I wish my son (in the video) lived closer. He is in Vermont while we are in Pennsylvania. My oldest son lives close by and is like your daughter. ❤️
I must say that I prefer the quilt with the fabrics you chose! I do know that the other fabrics are higher quality and feel better! I try to always get my designer fabrics on sale, so it might be worth it to spend a little more and get one you like better.
I agree. I am so surprised at how much I love the JoAnn Fabrics quilt, other than the feel. Thanks so much for watching and sharing! ❤️
I like the knock off colors. There are lots of non-designer fabrics that are gorgeous.
So true! I am partial to the knock off colors, too! ❤️
They both are pretty.
Thank you! ❤️
I like the budget much better.
Surprisingly, I do, too! ❤️ Thank you for watching!
Both are very pretty
Thank you! 🥰
Great tutorial. I like the colors in the knock off fabric. I like less busyness. Chis was a good sport shopping with his mom.
Thank you! 😊 He is a good kid!
I really like the knock off colors and quilt
Me too! I am pleasantly surprised since I loved the original so much. ❤️ Thank you for watching!
I like the colors in the knock off best
Me, too! Isn't it pretty? Thank you for watching and sharing!
I enjoy putting colors and fabrics together myself so seldom buy fabrics from just one line to use for a project. Part of the creative process for me is figuring that out myself. I do buy designer fabrics to use, just not collections. EXCEPT I just finished a gorgeous quilt using 20 1/3 yards of different Tilde prints ($200 with background) and I can say it’s one of my favorite quilts. It was special for my DIL so I was ok with spending that kind of money. Love your channel!
Oh wow! That is so interesting! LOVE Tilde so I get it! LOL! Thank you so much for sharing and for your kind words! You are so sweet! ❤️
Your knockoff quilt turned out great! So fun shopping with your son. He did a great job. 😄
Thank you! 😊 He is a great kid! I wish he lived closer. ❤️
@@SewtheDistance I hear you. My son lives about 13 hours away from us. I sure wish he was closer.
Except for the checked fabric, I like the second one because it is brighter and the darker striped fabric stands out more.
I agree! I am pleasantly surprised! ❤️
I have several jelly rolls - but I’ve never paid full price. I like using designer fabrics however… I’ve gotten a fat quarter bundle from a well known designer and it was very thin fabric and frays easily. I’ve gotten some very nice fabric at both JoAnn’s and Hobby Lobby it just take time to carefully select. Thanks for this video. Good job.
So smart! I do notice the quality even within Joann Fabrics are different.
Thank you so much!
I have had the same experience. It’s really disheartening to spent $13 yd on fabric and it feel “cheap”.
Sounds like Kaffe Fassett fabrics. They are beautiful, but way too thin with scads of loose threads.
I just opened a name brand jelly roll last week and let me say the strips were 2 3/8th inches. Boy, was I ticked when my blocks didn't work out. It took some math and I adjusted but I was pretty miffed as it messed up the quilt size. It had been on my shelf for a few years so I don't even know where I bought it. I do generally prefer name brand because my expectation is for a better quality fabric. You are right, you have to know the "feel" of a good fabric.
I like the knock off colours better too! More cohesive. Excellent idea, thanks for a really good video.
You are so welcome! I agree! I was pleasantly surprised!
Thank you for thinking of us with NOT deep pockets. I struggle to buy food, so fabric is never on my list but I always look at the remnants section. Never know...
You are so welcome! Love to you. I will keep the budget quilting ideas coming. 🥰
I really like both versions
Thank you! ❤️
I think you did a great job with your knock off well I really enjoyed it. I also loved the JoAnn shopping trip footage it is fun to watch how other people pick fabric. I would absolutely watch it if you put out more of the shopping trip with your son.
Thank you so much! It was a lot of fun working with my youngest on this project. I love that you loved it, too!
I love knock off ❤
Thank you! i am loving that one, too!
Your young gentleman is a peach!!
I like the knockoff better because it is not quite so busy and seems a little more coherent than the designer one. However. I am also enamored with the higher end fabric because of the drape and all those other quality issues.
My way of keeping costs under control is to buy a couple of must-haves at full price and the others on sale. And (with your encouragement in several videos) I am using my stash for backings and focusing on getting my stash in really good order so utilizing the fabrics is easier.
Thank you for the thoughtful video on the budget friendly approach. Quilting can be a luxury activity for many people. I think they appreciate the acknowledgement that not everyone can spend top dollar for fabric. But still make beautiful quilts.
You rock, Kris
Wow! Thank you so much! You are sweet! ❤️❤️❤️
Mitchell (my youngest son who is in the video) is a sweetie and loves challenges like this. I wish he lived closer! He is in Vermont and we are in Pennsylvania. My oldest son is in Pennsylvania, but he isn't into design like Mitchell is, but he has wonderful qualities, too, of course. Maybe I can get him on camera one of these days.
I like the knockoff better, too, much to my surprise! I am curious as to how it will wash. Stay tuned!
Great tips! I need to use my stash more, too! 😊
Again, thank you for your support and kindness. ❤️
Great video! I love how engaged your son was in helping you choose your fabric at the store… I like both quilts. What I don’t like is that you were shorted fabric which for this project wasn’t much of an issues but when you are making the one yard quilts it definitely is an issue… ask me how I know😂… congratulations on your new website
Thank you so much! As for the shortage of fabric, I didn't think of that! You are so right!
I actually love the fewer fabrics in the budget one, but I am a bit of a fabric " snob" and love the feel of the better quality ones!
Same! LOL! I am with you. It is fun to push myself out of my comfort zone, but I tend to always go back to the fancy-pants fabric. ❤️
I like them both, go with your budget . Oh you are blessed your son helped you mine they would say no way mom lol. Now if I need my car worked on or something fixed around the house they are in for that, so I'm blessed also❤
Thank you so much! If it makes you feel any better, my older son would have been rolling his eyes and asking if we could leave. LOL! They are so different! Blessings all around. ❤️
Thanks so much for making this video! You really gave me inspiration to save money. My beloved hobby is getting soooo expensive.
It really is, isn't it? I have more budget-friendly videos coming soon!
love your video 😊
Thank you so much 🥰
Your budget friendly one would make a great picnic quilt. I do prefer using quilt shop fabrics in my quilts, but budget often say, Joann's.
I totally agree! Thank you so much!
I like the designer because you can pull strips from your scraps, no expense.
You could certainly make this pattern from your scraps, designer or not. Great point!
I liike the knock off. 😊
Isn't it great? I am surprised by how much I like it, too! ❤️
I love the fact you are using Joann’s fabrics. Quilting was started by using scraps. ❤
I prefer the look of the budget friendly version. You made a perfect selection of fabrics. I particularly like the large red floral you chose.
Thank you so much! I am partial to the budget one, too. ❤️
I’m with you when it comes to gravitating to designer fabrics, Moda, Riley Blake etc. Their fabrics are a much better quality. 😊
I totally agree! Although I have to say that I love the way the knock-off quilt looks much more than the designer quilt. Go figure!
Actually, I like the knock off better .. the navy really stands out .. good job 👍
Thank you! I think the navy makes it sparkle, too! ❤️
Just by looks as we see it....l prefer the knock-off. lt seems like the color placement/contrast is better balanced. Of course, the price difference is MASSIVE!!! Good job....
Thank you so much! I agree--the savings is shocking!
I like them both, think I like the knock off better.
Thank you! I agree! ❤️
I like the knock off colors better.😀
I agree! I was pleasantly surprised by this!
I love the knockoff quilt best!
Me, too! So surprising!
That blue spotty fabric looked god in the video clip.
It was okay, but it really didn't "go' with the fabrics. We debated it, however, which you can see at the end. I also think the lighting at the store on camera didn't help. It really didn't match at all, unfortunately. I really wanted to put blue in it, but just couldn't find the right shade. Thank you so much for sharing this, however! And for watching! ❤️
I like the designer better. I love peach color and blue
It is pretty, isn't it? ❤️
Thank you. You just proved what I have been saying all along. I feel that the fabrics I get at the local quilt shop are so much easier to work with and the fabrics just feel of a better weight and the colors are just richer. I also liked your ending of this video; it is always interesting to see someone else's thought process as to fabric and color choices. I personally find one or two fabrics the coordinate that I absolutely love and fill in from there. Loving the fabrics help you to finish the quilt even if you are struggling with a pattern design that is a bit above your comfort zone.
You are so welcome. Very true! Great insight on this! Interestingly, some of the fabric from Joann's was super thick while others was super thin. I didn't like that either. I am curious as to how this works out when they are finished and washed. Stay tuned! I am planning an update on that. Now to get them finished....😊
I like the budget colors. I enjoy designer fabrics but I watch for good sales online and never pay designer full price. Not so long ago, I wanted some 5" squares with lots of variety of colors and patterns for a children's quilt so I drove an hour to a JoAnn Fabrics, and I was really quite pleased with all the selection. But I limited myself to 6" (1/6 yd) of each fabric I liked - and I came home with a lot. The saleswoman at Joann's was so helpful and was so careful to make sure that her cuts were more than 6" on all (shop early when there is less of a crowd and they have more time to help you). I think when I make your budget quilt, I will buy more colors than you used, cut at 1/3 yd (which would give 4 strips and a leftover of 2" which you could use in a border or binding.) I live very rural so trips to an actual fabric store are special and I always allow unlimited time to browse. Anyway, I love both of your quilts and I look forward to using your design. Thank you for sharing. (I would love to hear more of your son's 'Shop With Mom" day.)
Thank you so much! Great tips! We are also very rural, with Joann's being about 30 minutes away, on a good day! I love that you are going to make it! If you have any questions, please let me know! I am happy to help! Thank you for your kind words, too! ❤️
The prints you got are beautiful
Thank you! It took us almost two hours to decide. In the footage at the end, we are on the last leg of picking. We started with a completely different grouping. 😂
I like both quilts and appreciate you sharing your experience using both types of fabric. Thank you for sharing this pattern and tutorial!
You are so welcome! Thank you for your kind words! ❤️🥰❤️
I like the budget one better🙂
Your son is a great shopping buddy. I am so jealous. I really like the knock off.
He really is! My other son wouldn't have done this. LOL! But he has other wonderful talents and attributes. 🥰
I like the visual impact of the knockoff quilt better than the designer one. Your colors are stronger and there are not as many. Sometimes two many colors dilutes the impact. And what's with this trend that so many lines of fabric have to have turquoise in them?!
You are correct about the designer fabrics being printed on a higher quality base which also has a higher thread count.
The quilt stores.tend to be less stingy about making sure you get a full half yard or fat quarter than Joanns.
Great video and idea! I try to pick up pre cuts when they are on sale, which helps on the cost.
Keep watching the Sew Yeah sales to get some bargins 😉
So funny you should say that! LOL! I was just at Sew Yeah doing a collab with them last week! Videos will be out in a few weeks of our fun projects! They are a hoot and the kindest people you can imagine. What you see on camera is exactly who they are! And the shop it amazing, too! Here's a short video I made while I was there. Stay to the end to see Teancum. czcams.com/video/TjBiR5KWsrU/video.html
I agree with the visual impact. I learned a lot about color from this, even though I thought I was pretty good with it before making the knock off quilt. It has been enlightening to say the least.
Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️
I liked the appearance of the knock off with the repeat of the navy and whits stripe as it gave a more structured appearance, but I understand the difference better fabric has to the sewing, you could customise your fabrics by buying better quality yardage, this is what I would consider.
Thank you! Great idea! I thought of that afterward, too. I didn't think I'd like the knock-off one as much as I do. Total surprise!
