I do love a good teal fabric. I will likely always love a good teal fabric. But my stash is currently a bit teal heavy, so what better way to purge a few than to take part in Giveaway Day over at Sew Mama Sew!
Up for giveaway are five 1/3 cuts of some pretty teal-reading fabrics. Meaning that in my stash organization, they would be filed under teal. Your interpretation may differ. I will not be in your studio watching you put them away and harumphing behind your back should you decide they go in the greens, so file them wherever you please. (Note: You may find the word "organization" in relation to "my stash" can be interpreted quite loosely.)
 |
| Teal, lime, whatever. It's all good. |
Also included in the giveaway - a copy of my best selling "Kickin' Stash" pattern.
 |
| HA! You thought you knew what photo would be here! Fooled you! A version that didn't make the cut due to white lines all over it. But still pretty. |
You'll want to use more fabrics than just these in your quilt when you make it up, and you'll want to make it up because it is a fantastic block and pattern, but these will give you a nice start. See, I even mocked a block up, using the "planned scrappy" version, so you could see.
 |
| I'm nothing if not helpful. |
Giveaway "Day" is not aptly named. But it is all to our benefit.
But Wait! There is more! For the length of Giveaway Day, ie until Sunday noonish, I have lowered the price of Kickin' Stash on Craftsy to $6.00! 33% off! Why? I have no idea. I guess because I felt like it. You just never know what I might do next, do you?
Well, let me tell you what I might do next. I also lowered the price of "Taking Names" on Craftsy because what is Kickin' Stash without Taking Names? Not much of a schoolyard brawl, that's for sure.
Should you be my winner and should you have bought KS this week, your $6.00 will be refunded in it's entirety.
How to enter:
- Leave a comment below telling me a little bit about the worst quilt you ever made. I'm currently working on one that might qualify for me, so make me feel better.
- For an extra entry, become a follower or let me know that you follow QHH some way or another.
- For a third entry, head on over to my EPQD facebook page and see if it is a community you would like to join to snark it up and share fun quilt stories. If so, become a member there too! Then let me know you did.
Good luck!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 376 of 376I'm a teal girl too :) My worst quilt was my first made from 3 mens shirts and not quilted but tied. It is horrible! I show NO ONE!
Probably my boring baby quilt I made. I was just dull and now I am so much more of a modern quilter so I like them WAY more :)
Ok so I make a lot of quilts I am not happy with that other people like but I guess I see things they don't. The worst of all time was my first I didn't even know how to use a sewing machine properly I didn't let the fabric feed thru I pulled it thru what a mess it was in pieces after the second washing

Worst quilt would be one I made with minky fabric. I highly recommend NEVER using minky!!! That stuff slides all over.
I've just done some scrap quilts, and I like them pretty much :) thanks!
My least favorite quilt has too many "muddy" colors - I won't make that mistake again.
To be honest, I'm so happy to finish a quilt that I can't say I have a worst!
Thanks for the giveaway!

The worst quilt I ever made was probably my first. I used a weird yellow fabric that frayed like crazy when washed. All that work washed away with one washing.
I've only quilted one thing, a table runner. I made many mistakes, so I'm hoping it will be my worst quilt ever!
Thanks for the chance.
Worst Quilt/Best Quilt When I was 10 in 1962, I decided to make a quilt. I asked all the neighbor ladies for scrap fabric and with the help of my mom I hand pieced enough 9 patch blocks to make a quilt. My dad built a quilt frame and the whole family got involved. My dad and both older brother helped my mom and me do the quilting. Lots of pricked fingers but we got it done and I still have it today. It is a well loved memory of my first sewing project. Thanks, Kathy

I'm still working on the worst one. It is a queen size ocean waves with a zillion billion teensy triangles. I work on it, get 10 blocks, work on it a year later, put it away. Maybe this year I'll finish.
since I am new to quilting, I haven't made a horrible one yet...not bragging, I just haven't tried anything difficult yet! Love your attitude!
Just got back from following you on FB...you are a breathe of fresh air in a somewhat stodgy world...
I made a quilt using red and blue in the log cabin type block. One side was re/blue and the other whites. There was too much white on it and it looked horrible!
My worst quilting project would have to be my first table runner. It was just a pack of charms all pieced together and bound. What made it a train-wreck was the type of batting I used. I didn't know any better and I got this high loft polyester stuff. It seemed to work okay at first but after about a month my husband asked if one of the cats was laying on it because there was fur all over it. I told him "No, honey, that's what is referred to as bearding in the quilting world." Oh well, live and learn!
Probably a velvet crazy quilt in the 70s.
My first quilt is the worst its still unfinished! Great giveaway hope I win, Thanks!

all my quilts are terrible!

I'm making my first quilt now and I'm hoping this is the worst one!
A quilt for my couch out of upholstery scraps looked good for a couple of weeks and then the seams started to rip out.
I haven't yet, but I'm sure there will be some to come.
i've only just started quilting, thankfully the two i've made have turned out, but wow have i made some funky clothes in my day! plenty of what was i thinking moments, haha!
The worst one I made was actually a set of quilted placemats. I pieced 4 and hand quilted 1 and a half then put them away for maybe 6 or 7 years. I pulled them out last year and made the brave decision to toss 3 and put a bright pink binding on the quilted one. It is wonky in all the wrong ways but my daughter thinks it makes an excellent doll quilt.

The simply woven quilt pattern on moda bake shop. I adore the fabroc and the pattern but couldn't get a freaking single one of the blocks to measure up to a 12 1/2" square. Every single one was wonky. And I even went out and purchased a 1/4" foot to ensure my seam allowance wasn't the issue. No clue what was awry, but I ended up havi g to measure every single piece and draw 1/4" lines as I pieced together block - then do the same with every block! Took forever!
I am still working up the courage to start my first quilt! I'l report back:) Thanks for the giveaway! Amy @ gasudimack(at)sbcglobal(dot)net
My sister and I married brothers. Our dear mother in law wanted us both to know what it took to make quilts. We sewed clothes not quilts. She enrolled us all in a class. My sister and I decided to see who could finish first! Speed was the name of the game. Poor Jean, she tore my sisters apart it was so bad, and I salvaged mine to a pillow in our first apartment. You would never believe the quilts we have both made sense. We made her proud eventually!!!

The worst might be a Halloween quilt I made -- I sewed the binding wrong-side-out when I joined the two ends.
I think that my first quilt was the worst. I had seen a pattern in one of the women's magazines and so I decided to make it...king size! This was about 28 years ago, before rotary cutters and mats, before strip piecing, before Eleanor Burns and her Quilt in a Day books! The pattern was Trip Around the World, done in 4" squares...drawn and cut by hand. The actual quilt was fantastic but it wasn't the best experience!

I'm newer to quilting and don't actually have a worst quilt. Just one quilt that took way to many hours to finish and was glad to have finally finished it. (dezarae_jamie@hotmail.com
My worst quilt is the one I made as a beginner quilter and didn't know about good quality fabrics. The quilt was pieced very nicely but the feel of the fabric was not good.
I really like your kickin stash block. It's just what I need to do.
WOW I made a baby Comforter with upholstery fabric and stitch length in the quilting was a 2.....it was all puffy poly batting..

My first quilt top was pretty hideous (and thus sitting unquilted, because I decidedly do not love it). The sashing is practically as big as the blocks. Maybe if I'd followed some sort of pattern it might have been better thought out.
I've only made a few quilts, so I don't really have one I dislike, yet. The first one I made could definitely be better, but it was for my first son, so I still love it :)
too many stories here to count but the worst would be when I ran out of backing fabric so I assembled the final quilt in not the best way
Well I've only finished two so far, but I love them both! I'm sure I will end up with some bad ones as I keep quilting though!
There are some projects that I really don't want to think about. You probably aren't old enough to remember the wild colors of the long shorts that boys wore in the seventies. I bet I made over 50 pairs of these shorts. Well I couldn't throw out the scraps so I thought I would do a log cabin in these garish prints.... It never made it past quilt top.. it was unbelievably ugly.
I've only finished one quilt. It turned out pretty good for my first! So, I don't have a horror story. I'm sure yours isn't as bad as you think!!
I like your FB page!
My first quilt was a giant star pattern. There were folds all over the back of the quilt. I still liked it but have learned so much since then.
I don't have a worst quilt... I just made one twin-size quilt (which I love) and two baby quilts (which I think are cute) :) I have time to make my worst quilt :) thanks for the chance to win

It was so busy, but so busy, that my oldest son told me he did not know where to look, where to focus. It disappeared after that. Seriously, I don't remember what I did with it, but it is not in my house!
I recently made a quilt and decided to quilt it using my embroidery machine. It was going beautifully but then the machine got the hiccups. I had to get it finished by the next day for a friend coming in from out of town and nearly shot that machine! Somehow we both made it through but the quilting was so bad and I felt bad.
I made a rail fence quilt for my son and it was tied. But just with a few knots. Later on, I did knot it all over.
My worst quilt was definitely my first. I wanted something that I could carry around and sew by hand. Well none of my blocks were square. It was a nightmare.
My worst quilt was my very first quilt, which also makes it one of the best. I am self taught and had NO instructions. I just drew from cardboard a small square and cut out hundreds of squares from scraps. I sewed them together in strips and sewed the strips together. There was NO matching corners. Never thought about it. Used all kinds of fabrics too. Cottons, polyesters, flannels. But you know what? As ugly as the thing was, the recipient was my 5 year old daughter and she slept with that thing every night and even took it with her to college. I laugh when I think about it.

The worst is still in block form. 2 1/2 in square in rows of 5 x 5. They do't line up at all. It is bad enough that the blocks may be turned in ugly hotpads instead. Thanks for chance to win.

Yellow Brick Road. Ya, I had no idea what I was doing then. I cut everything wrong, starting at 1 inch to count doesn't work, ha! Realizing it half way through, I had to finish cutting it all wrong! It ended up a bit small lol. So funny looking back how hard I made something that's so easy :)
Worst was a doll quilt with minimal quilting and a 3D doll appliqued to it - Ugly
and liked you on FB
I have only made two quilts and repaired one so I don't have a worst quilt as I have been happy with how each of them turned out. But they sure taught me lots of lessons along the way.
The worst quilt I've ever made was actually one I did not finish. I started it and I decided it was the worst quilt in the world so I quit. But it was a quilt as you go, and I decided to try to quilt as you go with the entire backing in one piece (quilting onto it). yeah horrible idea.
Oh gosh I hope it's not going to be the one I'm working on now. I designed it and it's round and I'm NOT confident that my design skills are going to work out.
I have only worked on 2 quilts so far, I'm a noob I know, but my first was by far worst than my second. The binding was great but the actually blocks, it was a rail fence design, did not line up correctly :(! Finished product did not look as I wanted but it was my first so I hope with practice it will get better.
I am new to quilting and have only made 2 quilts but it has to be the second one, I have learned now not ti use a plain backing fabric because it shows up all of your imperfect sewing. Thanks for a great giveaway, I love teal.

I don't quilt, but I have made clothes that I don't care for at all.
I've never made a quilt before! I'm much more of a small project person... purses, dolls, that kind of thing. But I can imagine my quilts would be truly terrible!
My worst quilt was a shoe quilt that was pieced the pattern was not accurate and wound up being a headache.
I haven't actually finished many quilts but my worst one would have to be an I-Spy quilt I helped my sister make for my nephew. We were flying by the seat of our pants and didn't really know what we were doing so the seams don't line up, some sashing is bigger than others, it's just a disaster. My nephew loved it though and I guess that's what counts!
My first quilt I made was the one I didnt like. It was horrible colors and the seams didnt match. Still have but I dont like it.

hmmm. yeah ... a doll quilt back when I did my first quilting ... made it into the trash bin actually ...
Ha - I've only finished one. It's far from perfect as an experienced sewer would notice, but my son doesn't mind!
So far my biggest problem is with puckers on the back. My machine is OLD and the FMQ foot that's supposed to fit it doesn't and...yuck. Nothing I've had to pitch, but I've sure said a mountain of choice words! Thanks.
My worst quilt is one I'll never finish - it was a fabric origami one that I decided to make lap quilt sized, but didn't think "hey, this origami has a bunch of raw edges that will shred to nothing if I stick it in the washing machine". Which isn't actually the worst thing about it, that might be the atrocious quilting or possibly the fact that one of the borders was somehow so much too large that when I was quilting it, I had a solid couple inches to FOLD over, stitch down, and pretend was an existing seam in the border. Ugh. If I could, I would burn it in the back yard. As it stands, I haven't figured out quite how to get rid of it.

My worst quilt was a baby blanket I made out of fleece. Fleece does not piece well!
The worst was the one I made for my son's first grade teacher, when I was a very newbie at quilting! Horrible fabrics in it! Thanks for the chance.
I do love a good snark, I'll FB like away.
I would say my first ever one...batting was too thick, then the stitching was wonky...a lot to be desired and still to be learned back then :)
Thanks for the chance!
not a quilt but a potholder. It was for halloween and the haunted house I made was perfection and then I went and tried to bind it in like 10 minutes and it was disastrous! Wrinkles and bubbles and non-sewn bit. I still had to bring it with me to a party as I'd promised it as a hostess gift. hurrumph.
My worst quilt was one I put together and quilted using blocks made by someone else. The seams kept popping. Once I got them controlled, I had to deal with seriously puffy batting that my machine hated! Thanks for the chance to win.

The worse quilt I made is my first applique quilt. It is hanging but I really want to donate it to charity.
The worst quilt I ever made was from a block swap where apparently not everyone read the dimensions right and wonky is a polite way to describe what ended up as a quilt for my dog!
My worst quilt was a chevron circle quilt an dfound that my machine di dnot do a variable blanket stitch did not like what it did after sewing htem all so had to pull it all out and aplique each circle, but it looked good in the end, after months of frustration
I made a wall hanging for my daughter in law recently and really did a horrible job on the binding. It was my first attempt so I hope I get better.

I am an aspiring quilter... I did a little at school, many years ago, when I accidentally sewed one of the blocks of my pillow slip the wrong way. More recently I bought some lovely woodland print fabric to make a bag for my SiL for Christmas. But, Christmas is now just around the corner... eek!
My worst quilt is not finished after many years. The batting didn't work out.

I made a quilt for my sister but the back was too loose so I opened it up and put more batting in the areas it was loose. So parts of the quilt are thin and part is so thick you can't fold it. I really loved it before I quilt it. May I saw it's the first one I quilted by my machine.
The worst quilt I ever made was a small quilt that I made for my cat... I didn't quite get the hangs of the smallish size and just did a poor job of colorway.
I have two that i hate and have yet to finish. One is a plus quilt that is scrappy but my color choices were really bad!!! the other was a quilt for my son in law which was my interpretation of camo... ugh... he liked it but I just cant bring myself to finish it!

My worst quilts are those first ones! With no instruction, I have one with knots and wild stitching all over the back!
I really haven't "hated" an entire quilt I've made, but there are definitely things that annoy me about my quilts. Like, points that are cut off, seams than don't line up, stitches that aren't even. Luckily I have a short term memory and forget where they are and I've also heard "you can't see those details while riding my on a galloping horse, then it's fine!" mrscwatson81@hotmail.com
the worst quilt i ever made was my first. i used 2 inch squares and some of them are a half inch off! it was terrible!
I don't think I've ever had a bad quilt! I've loved all the fabrics and sometimes hated to give them away to the recipient.
The worst quilt I made was back when I didn't know there was a difference between quilt shop fabric and craft store fabric. I bought a ton of rough fabric and wound up making dog quits. They have lasted, but they are neither soft nor lovely.

my first quilt was my worst one ever.. I had cut up my husbands old shirts and cut blocks, sewed them together and tied the quilt.. It was awful, I said I would never do that again... but I did make more after not quilting for many, many years.
I am new to quilting, so I haven't had a total disaster yet. I am sure I will!
I'm new to quilting and have made only one mini quilt . As its difficult to get fabric lines out here(U.A.E) the fabric are of different quality and tone . Its purple , white and grey but because it random pieces of fabric just dont match. Cant buy online because the shipping rates are more than the fabric cost :(
My worse quilt ever might be my first rag quilt. midwayfarms@hughes.net
Sorry I don't have a worst quilt. I have only made a few and so far I like them all.
I'm a novice quilter, but I do try. I'd say one I just finished for my daughter is my worst yet, I used her baby receiving blankets (she's 8 now) and I don't think I did it justice. Luckily she loves it!

Well, the quilt started out with 1930's fabrics and no plan -- and, after lots of sewing, it ended with no plan. It is now sitting in a basket of "worst UFOs" waiting for inspiration on how to chop it up and re-sew it.

Well, here it is, the last day of Giveaway week and I'm trying to sneak in a few more entries before I get the kids off to school and my day runs away from me. So pick a high number, m'kay. My stash is also pretty heavy in the blue-teal-green range, but that's okay because I LOVE them and I am currently working on a quilt made of squares in that color range. They are small and the finished quilt will have, oh, more than 3600 of them!

Worst quilt is one I started this summer and cant seem to finish. I tried out free motion quilting and agh its tough. Need to do a lot of unpicking.
My worst quilt was my first quilt, a 9-patch memory quilt for my mother. I didn't know what I was doing when I made it, and whenever I look at it, I cringe at the awful stipple quilting. But you've got to start somewhere, and this got me started on a quilting journey that has become my passion. So no regrets.
i tried a pattern in an old magazine for my brothers wedding and the pattern was wrong although I didn't know it until I had cut all the pieces out and sewed most together. it was awful.

I'm worse, I don't even dare to start on another quilt, mainly 'cause I'm not 200% sure it'll look good together. So I keep on watching that pile of fabrics, don't dare to cut...
Talk me into it? ;)
Love those fabrics though, teal is awesome! Thanks for the giveaway!
My worst quilt was from a kit I purchased. The pieces didn't fit together well and the border (which contained fabric with lines on it) did not match up. It was a nightmare and it was a gift. I have never purchased another kit.
I joined the community on Facebook.
My first true attempt at a quilt was a crazy patch quilt. It used cheap fabric, in way too many colors, has a blanket inside for batting, and a flannel sheet for backing...NONE of which I'd do now. It's fraying all over the place, but is warm, and my first quilt, so I can't bear to part with it!
I've never made a quilt but it's next on my list of to tries. I'm excited about it!
I've never made a quilt,
I'd give this as a gift. Thanks!

My first one was pretty terrible. I tried to make up my own pattern, and as a complete novice I should have stuck to squares but noooo... I had to be creative. No points matched, and the diagonal lines where points that should have matched but didn't should have at least all gone in the same direction but I didn't pay enough attention and all but one go the same way. Oh well, a learning experience!
I made a hexagonal pieced quilt that wasn't a quilt - I made it into a duvet cover!

My worst quilt would probably be one i never finished...it was just way too pink. I kept adding other things to tone it down but it never looked anything except too pink.

thank you for the chance to win. i am making a baby quilt using minky for the first time...its beyond wonky but i am sticking with it
The one I am working on now. Had an applique pattern, cut it out, it looked to small for the center, wanted it bigger. Enlarged it, recut fabrics and started to put together. Colors did not look good once they were in the quilt. Changed some colors. It just keeps going like that! But this is a quilt for my Grandson for Christmas. I asked him if he wanted something other that Legos and he said "Well, I'm glad you asked. You make really warm qults and I want one with a Moose cause that is my favorite animal, and I want the glow in the dark stars like the quilt you made me when I was little." He is now nine. Who could say no to that! The problems making the quilt are just little bumps in the road!
HI there,
Thanks for the chance to win that gorgeous fabric! My worse quilt was made with bright purple and pink fabric. I gave it to a Japenese friend and she loved it. Who would have known? Have a Merry Christmas!

What a good question for a giveaway! Although it could bring up some bad memories. There was the Quiltastrophe, which was a split 9 patch that was fine until I washed it and the maroon fabric bled. And then I tried to fix it with some kind of bleed-removing chemical and all the OTHER reds turned oranges. Disaster. But as far as one I actually made that just didn't work out as planned, there was the "ugly quilt" :) http://katandcatquilts.blogspot.com/2011/08/finish-ugly-quilt.html Thanks!
What a fun question! The worst quilt I ever made was made out of old polyester fabric that I got at a rummage sale. I couldn't afford to buy quilting cotton, this fabric looked ok, and I thought, "What the heck?" Bad idea. It just doesn't quilt up nice. Thanks for your great giveaway. I'm going to be contemplating the difference betwwe green and teal for awhile.
Hmm. Right now I'm disliking my current quilt. It's just not behaving.
But, in terms of design, color and "not living up to expectations, my worst-worst quilt might happen to be one of the early ones, I didn't use cottons and so the fabric sagged and pilled and wasn't soft and nice after only a short while... I've since ditched it. I mean really. I threw it out in a dumpster... there was no way to save it.
(I knew you'd be proud.)
BTW, I already follow you on Facebook! I usually am prompted to read your blog posts when you mention them there!
None of my worst quilts ever get finished. Eventually I wise up and toss it out before I waste any more quilting time or fabric. My worst ever was supposed to be a mosaic quilt and I used faux suede as the backing so it could have a grout texture, but faux suede is really stretchy so I had to wonder under muslin to the back. Then I drew the picture on with a washout pen and fused little bits of fabric down. On the top part of the fabric tiles I used a lighter thread to appliqué and a darker thread on the bottom so it could have a light source. Do you know how long it takes to appliqué itty bitty pieces of fabric with 2 different threads each! It was as stiff as a carpet besides. When a humid spell erased my drawing before it's time I threw in the towel. You have to know when a project can be salvaged and when enough is enough. :)
I follow you on FB. Does that count?
If a quilt falls into my yuck category, then it is perfect to practice FMQ on and then maybe donate it (to the blind?). That way, all is not lost!

My worst quilt ever is a "rag" style one I made using leftover home dec fabric. Ummm yeah, it was stiff. But my friend liked it so I was happy to give it to her.
Since I'm a new quilter, having finished only 3 quilts so far...3 more in progress...I'm not ready to qualify any of them as the "worst" quilt yet. just happy to be quilting!
I did a hoffman challenge quilt with a woman's head, it was rejected, I think her head was way too big.

one year a sewed a quilt for a new baby using the fabric the mom chose they didn't match or coordinate in any way.
I tried to make a t-shirt quilt but did not turn out well
1) My very first 'worst' quilt was when I 9 yrs old learning to hand quilt with my grandmother. My grandfather built two quilting frames; adult size for grandmother and a child size for me. I made a 'cuddle' quilt simply made with a top, mountain mist batting and muslin back. I penciled my drawing to hand quilt the design and had quilted the whole quilt all by myself. I was SO proud! After hand binding it, it was time to wash it...and lo and behold, we found the missing pins we were looking for ~ the pins were protruding out of the quilt like a porcupine!!!

I made a wall hanging which went quite well until it came to the quilting. I had just bought a new Bernina and was eager to try out the BSR. The BSR took over. Result: the stippling got out of hand - spikey, crossing lines, tight bits, broken threads, loose bits, UNeven stitches - in a word: ugly. What happened to the stitch REGULATOR?
Why, whenever I see it, do I think of Charlie Chaplin's "Modern Times"?
I have only been quilting for a couple of years so I am not sure I have a "worst quilt". I love all of them...just as a mother loves an ugly child. To me they are all beautiful..

my first quilt made with poly cotton blends from the j-store and quilt in a day log cabin, but i misread the instructions and tore the strips for the whole quilt. a neighbor was just starting to long arm and somehow tore a hole in the backing. it frayed to death with the first wash! my husband still takes it camping though
