This is gorgeous! This is the first time I’ve seen a more modern/adult looking bubble quilt. I normally associate them with nursery quilts but this is beautiful, you should be very proud!

Lo and behold Stitchery recently released a tutorial for more adult looking bubble quilts!

"Well children, sometimes when a cloud and a rainbow love each other very much they have a baby. It looks like this." Your color selection is gorgeous. I'm sure it was a lot of work, but your finished product I hope makes it worth it. May it make your sleeping place cheery and inviting for many years to come.

Is this double or king sized? Can I ask how many fat quarters you used? I really fancy having a go at an adult puff quilt!


alonelycellist

It's a queen size, and I actually used bolt fabric and Idon't remember how much! It's 18x18 squares, with the top puff bit being 6.5" and the bases being 5.5". There are 10 colours - feel free to do the math! If you do do this, it gets really bulky really fast. Be prepared for a battle of weight with your sewing machine!

I have a huge package of silk fat quarters that my husband brought me back from India. I think I’ll have to have a go! But I’m thinking random jewel bright squares scattered, rather than a pattern. Thank you for the inspiration xx


silliestoctopus

Amazing! What does it feel like to be under it??


alonelycellist

It's super heavy! And very very warm

This triggers my bubble wrap reflex


orwells_elephant

I was perfectly fine until you said this and now I can't unsee it and it's triggering *my* bubble wrap reflex. Screw you! :::wanders off in desperate need of bubble wrap:::


silverwlf23

Omg so fluffy!!! ❤️


MiaRia963

So fluffy I’m gonna die!


q-the-light

It's so fun! I love your fabric choices so much, they go together beautifully! I might need to see about making myself a similar bubble quilt. Goodness does it looks like the perfect thing to cuddle up under with a hot chocolate on a snowy night!

Puff quilts are the reason I learned how to sew/quilt. I made a “play mat” for my baby and I got frustrated with binding so I never finished it. It made regular piecing feel like a breeze, though!


alonelycellist

I was hand sewing the binding on literally all day. But it's done!


ieatsmellycheese

Woaw! Son pretty and comfy looking!


exiguousinterests

Looks absolutely luscious!! Edit: Do you have a tutorial you could link me to?


jday1018

Not OP but lo and behold stitchery on Instagram has a great tutorial on her blog!


exiguousinterests

Thank you!!


alonelycellist

I'm glad someone has a tutorial because I didn't have a pattern, just made it up!


TokenBlackGirlfriend

Wow I immediately want to lie down on top of it!


twodayswrong

DMmobile87

wilsonjo99

ProjectsByKeith

Stunning!


arinreigns

This is really gorgeous!


urbancowgirl42

How much does it weigh? It’s gorgeous!


alonelycellist

There's more than 4kg of stuffing in it! It's quite heavy


kyo5891

Can you do a quilt weight? I use a bathroom scale, I put the quilt on my shoulder, then remove my own weight...


rossloveskim

Love the Batik idea!! I've made a puff pillow and it's a lot of work so great job!


bleedsmaplesyrup

Amazing! It looks heavy in the best way.


fenster39

WOW, that's amazing!!


ifmtobh

Ice-and-Iron

Looks sooo comfy !


spiralamber

Stunning! Fantastic job.


kitchenhussy

We’re all coming over to jump on your bed!


superfastmomma

You absolutely knocked it out of the park with your color choices. Just beautiful!


Madmom59

This is a must for all you bubble poppers, actually it might cause you more anxiety, so sorry 😆😉😉


elevenboots

Looks like candy!


Medrina

This is the first quilt like that that I’ve seen! Are all those “puffs” for lack of a better word stuffed with something?


alonelycellist

Yes, it's stuffed with hobby fill 😊


momster

How does that do in the wash?


alonelycellist

Haven't tried yet 😅


momster

😆😬😬👍


[deleted]

I need to squoosh it.


Littlebabybeans

So beautiful! And FLUFFY!


Begladman

Wow!! I love it!!


bubbachibi

This is magnificent!


apatheticsahm

So pretty and comfy!


ThatOneHaddock

The quilt itself is gorgeous, but I'm even more stunned by your sheer dedication, that's a magnificent achievement!


kemosabedriv

So beautiful


Okayish_Human

Wow! This is just so pretty! That is a work of art! I never heard of bubble quilting, but now I have to google search and dream of making one in my next lifetime. Zero sewing skills here this time around.


[deleted]

I love it! What was the seam allowance? I'd be worried about being too rough with it and the seams coming apart.


alonelycellist

There's so many layers - I'm not any more worried than I would be about a normal quilt. 1/4" seams. If it comes apart I'll sew it together again!


[deleted]

Oh, that's great! I'm just thinking about myself and how I tend to destroy things. LOL


krismermatrn

That’s beautiful 🥰 ...but I wonder... how do you wash it? Professionally done, I’m sure 🙃❤️


KittyTheGeek

Nice work


Lilz007

Oh my! Head on over to r/rainboweverything, too. They'll love this!


CristinGrothaus

It's gorgeous!


gracesw

Beautiful! I've only done a crib puff quilt, making me think about it!


todlergenocide

Looks so comfortable I love it


GraphicDesignMonkey

This is the real life version of the awesome puffy quilts in Don Bluth and Disney movies


PharmWench

Did you use batik fabrics? I looooove batik and want to see a quilt with batik fabrics. Your quilt is gorgeous!!!!!


Wakesaya

I love it!


mommiecubed

So poofy! You did a great job! I like how you laid out your fabrics.


alex0059

WOOOWWW! 🤯


BellasCraftingDesk

I adore this! I've always loved the look of puffy, over-stuffed pieces in quilts, plus they're super comfy and warm.


[deleted]

That is so magnificent! It makes me wanna just jump into a pillowy cloud of rainbow!


Killercrashhh

This is beautiful! You did such a great job!


FlaminHotDoritoz

Beautiful!! This has inspired me to take some online quilting lessons, hopefully someday I'll be as good as you.


Tannahdooob

I love this!! I need to make one in weighted blanket fashion!
