I believe that everyone needs a creative outlet and since you are here, I'm guessing you want to make a quilt! Stick with me while I share my best tips and tricks for making the quilt that you want to make.
Even the most simple quilts are beautiful when made with love!
If we haven't met yet, I'm Amy Ellis. I've done many things in the quilting industry in the past few years, including five books that I've published with Martingale/That Patchwork Place, fabric lines that I designed for Moda Fabrics, I've been in lots of quilting magazines with patterns and articles, compilation books, and work with brands like Baby Lock, OLFA, Aurifil and more!
I'm a recovering perfectionist that will help you understand the basics and beyond in quilting. Let's make a quilt that you can proudly show off to friends and family, or gift to that new family member with love.

For tutorial purposes, it would probably be a good idea to use a contrasting thread color
I just found this. So disappointed that the blocks are 3,50 each. Cannot afford $350 for the patterns.
I love the last few minutes of each of these videos where you show mock ups of the block turned or paired with other blocks in the series. There are some fantastic ideas here!
I’m new to quilting and love your modern aesthetic. Yours seems to be the only truly modern quilting channel that I can find. I hope you’re ok and that you are still on the modern quilting journey.
Awesome!
Although this is an older video- thanks for showing the pressed open seam allowance. Every other video I have seen is all about nesting and I am an open seam girl.
❤❤❤
How do I get pattern?
Thank you! This is the quick and easy improv triangle I’ve been looking for!
My account has been suspended. How do I get to the patterns that I have bought?
Please email me amy@amyscreativeside.com and we will make sure you have access- thanks!
Just watched your Table Runner video. This block would be great for that with some neutral strip blocks in between! This was kind of a blast from the past in a good way. I remember looking forward to your weekly challenge (100 blocks) you created for yourself during the Pan!
Really enjoyed this series! Thank you
AMY, dahling...I love gradient color quilts and this one is an awesome one for a beginner. I think I will be teaching it for sure!
Wonderful!
Love the various settings.
Love your ideas. Can’t wait to try out some
Yay! Thank you!
Love this quilt!
It would be so helpful if you would number number your quilt-along videos.
love your site.
Love it!
Thank you for this video, I love the block! I had made some color controlled crumb blocks, but hadn’t decided how to use them. They’ll be great in this block! I can’t wait to try this!
Love the Undercurrent Itself! The subtle color makes a wonderful movement. Love it!
I love this design. Trying to work on negative space and this is a great inspiration!
Bonnie sent me! Lol I saw a post on Quiltville today regarding your url
Have made two of these. Trying to make one for myself but keep giving them away. It’s a very popular pattern! Thank you so much!!! Great tutorial. 😉
Love this ❤ especially the pink thread quilting 👍👍🇬🇧
Just found this video and the quilt looks gorgeous 👏👏🇬🇧
Glad you like it!
Getting ready for my second tipsy triangle.
Your info is insightful and would so be most helpful in a larger scale. Your hands are in the way. If the fabric were 5” it would be great. Hope that’s helpful as that is how it is intended. Thx again.
So you mentioned about those pins, always looking for something better, can you tell us which pins you use? Also desperately need sharp safety pins for quilting, have lots of the curved typed but they are not sharp enough and annoy me grrrr!
I believe there’s a link in the description to the pins.
simple but effective, just the way I like it! I'm wondering what it would look like with the scale block turned 90 degrees a time into a four patch (like you would a traditional pinwheel block) - I think that could be pretty striking
I have never paper pieced. Do you have your fabric numbered?
The last one
This is a very good way to use up your stash. I will try it out. Thank you.
Great job of inspiration, Amy.
Wonderful! Love the Dart quilt!
I made Dart too in yellows, greens and black and white and gifted it to a 2023 graduate from our local high school. She loved it!
As usual, in love with your color choices plus envious of your ability to get projects completed!
I enjoyed seeing your accomplishments, why do all of us seem to have trouble with getting the bindings done😀 I used wool batting for the first time and loved the loft and drape of it and the ease of quilting only added to my pleasure. I'm still working on a quilt for Ukraine, have liked the large blocks and am looking forward to my next improv creation, wanting to get rid of my barrel of scraps I have accumulated. Have a great week.
Hello, great to see you. I am stuck in my summer improve project. I don't know how to quilt it. I did a lot of piecing, there's so much seams. Maybe match stick quilting?
Hi Amy, Loved seeing your projects. A while back I used up scraps using the Supreme pattern and have just finished some hand quilting on it. So it is now waiting for binding. In between I have done some table runners and other small projects. Next on my list is to finish putting the blocks of my Dart quilt into rows.
They are all so pretty and unique! You have inspired me!
I was watching this video. You gave out no measurements? Is this a book your following?
Beautiful work. Congratulations. What should I study to learn quilt?
Such a fun series! :)
Thank you, I have started today! Hope make it soon. Wonderful! Enjoy a lot!
I realize this is an older post...but I just wanted to say, I learned alot. I do love those pins too. Thanks
Thank you for your time and efforts on this,I love improv, this all makes me happy!
Hello! I hope you had a delightful day. I'm having trouble keeping up with all the UA-cam Videos that I like to watch with my grandkids popping in and out of this home but they are so much fun to be around. I hope you have a happy week ahead. Thank you for sharing your time, talent and video!
This reckless abandon makes me very anxious. So, I'm probably more in the mug rug size than table runner.
A mug rug is a good idea to start but do try improv, you may find a new way od quilting.
Loving The Summer of Improve, thank you!
