Taught by Faith Hale
Whether you call it a puff quilt or a biscuit quilt, this particular patchwork method provides maximum coziness and charm. Artist and quilter Faith Hale has explored the myriad methods of piecing, stuffing, quilting and binding this vintage-inspired quilt, and she walks you through her favorite methods, along with a few variations. First learn how to sew the puffs and assemble them together into a top, then decide whether you want to use bar tacks, machine-sewn lines, or hand ties to quilt it all together. In this class Faith demonstrates how to make a 14" square that can easily be enlarged to make lap or even bed-sized quilts right out of a story book.
Learn how to:
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Sewing machine
- Quilting ruler
- Scissors or rotary cutter and cutting mat
- Safety pins for basting
- Clips for binding
- Tapestry wool and sharp tapestry needle for ties
- Neutral polyester thread
- Quilting foot or 1/4" foot
- Zipper foot (optional)
- To make a 14" square you will need:
- 16 pieces 4.5" patchwork fabric
- 16 pieces 4" puff backing fabric (this won't be visible)
- One 16" square lightweight batting
- One 18" square of backing fabric (this will be visible on back of quilt)
- 1.5-3.5oz Polyfil stuffing
- For a throw-sized blanket measuring 52 x 60”, arrange your puffs in 15 rows of 13 puffs (195 puffs needed, plus 52 x 60" batting and 54 x 62" backing fabric )
- For a twin comforter measuring 68 x 88”, arrange your puffs in 22 rows of 17 puffs (308 completed puffs needed, plus 68 x 88" batting and 70 x 90" backing fabric)
- For a full comforter measuring 80 x 88”, arrange your puffs in 22 rows of 20 puffs (440 completed puffs needed, plus 80 x 88" batting and 82 x 90" backing fabric)
- Larger sizes will be difficult on a standard-sized sewing machine - proceed at your own risk!

Thank you so much for this class - I've always wanted to know how to make one of these puffy quilts! Can't wait to pull out my fabric scraps.

I liked the tips she gave as she was making the puff squares. I made a puff quilt and stuffed them too much. It is beautiful, but too heavy for a baby quilt. Now I know how to bind it and quilt it. I enjoyed her style of teaching. DB
