KYSS Me Quick! An Easy Quilt

To celebrate my 100th post, it is my pleasure to share with you, my latest finish!
I designed this quilt using my new KYSS (Keep Your Sewing Simple) policy.
Easy piecing - simple design.


I'm calling it....

KYSS Me Quick!


Perhaps this is the kind of quilt you would wish to give as a gift to a treasured friend?

What's that you say?  Hello!  There is a BONUS!

For those of you who have attachment issues.... You can make two of these quilts with one bundle!
And still have a little left over for the scrap stash!


I made this quilt with one scrumptious fat quarter bundle of Kate Spain's new line, Sunnyside.
However, a Fat Eighth bundle, plus yardage, is all that is required to make one quilt.


These pictures were taken on a queen size bed.
But this quilt measures 72" x 88" and nicely fits a double bed.


Using a 4.0 stitch length, I quilted with the walking foot in straight lines across the width of the quilt,
staggering the distance between each line - 1" and 3/4" apart.


This easy pattern includes instructions for two sizes - double and queen - and has been added to my Craftsy pattern shop here!

Also..... I just wanted to help spread the news....

Marelize has changed up her Anything Goes Quilt 'n Sew linky party

Stitch by Stitch

It runs every Monday and will be open for 48 hours now, instead of the full week.  Looking for some inspiration? Click on the image to visit and see all the great projects that have been linked up this week!


Until next time....
Keep on Quilting on!

    I like the quilt design, the contrast border squares break it up and add interest - also love the policy and I'm sure its the key to actually finishing things when you have littlies.

    gorgeous quilt Lorna! I love the KYSS policy. Quilting is supposed to be fun after all! By the way, I think that shade of green is absolutely the perfect sashing choice!

    What a great quilt! It's much larger than I originally thought. It's a good idea to make two at once and have one to give away. Like a little bonus at the end of it all.

    Wow. This quilt looks amazing and not at all simple. I love the idea behind your KYSS philosophy and will definitely keep it in mind as I go forward.

    I love it! I am so glad you quilted it yourself. So many quilters where I live just pay for computerized long arm quilting and yes it looks good, but I think it isn't as personal and meaningful. Thanks for sharing!

    This quilt is beautiful! I love scrappy quilts and this one has such a great personality with the solid green fabric making squares. Nice finish.

    I love the quilt!
    I think maybe I should adopt the KYSS approach to quilting. I love intricate looks but simple would be done an awful lot faster!

    Hi Lorna. Would your KYSS Me Quick pattern still be available? I didn't find it in your shop and I'd like to use it for my Kate Spain Christmas charms I'll be getting from my charm swap. Thanks bunches.
