Making Quilted Fabric Bins with Quiltable.com

Add a bit of quilty organization to your life with versatile fabric bins. These designs make truly unique gift baskets and classroom organization options. They quilt nicely and are quick to finish.  Create them in pre-determined styles or use a blank fabric bin template, available in three size ratios, to customize your bin. A printable PDF set of directions is included with every fabric bin template purchase.

Supplies

*Keep in mind, with all digital quilting designs, these bin sizes and fabric requirements may vary if you opt to scale the design in your robotic quilting software.

For this project, we are showcasing the 11″ x 11″ x 11″ cube bin and it requires the following:

• Fabric Bin digital quilting file
• 1-1/4 yard x 18” fabric (front)
• 1-1/3 yard x 24” fabric (backing)
• 46″ x 18” batting or foam stabilizer
• 1-1/4 yard fabric (lining) * optional
• Binding

Construction

Load your fabric normally on your longarm quilting frame.

Set up your digital file to quilt your fabric. Keep in mind, the files may look interesting, but make a wonderful finished bin.

The longarm robotic system will stitch the perimeter first.

The longarm will continue to stitch the bottom and side panels.

The order may vary depending on your design.

Remove the quilted piece. Cut around the quilted design near the 1/4″ stitched outline.

Use this quilted shape as a guide to cut lining fabric.

Per the bin directions, sew the bottom and bottom-corner seams on the outer bin and bin lining pieces.

Tip: Use binder clips or wonder clips when holding pieces together as the project is thick.

Turn the bin right side out.

Place the lining inside the bin. Baste it in place along the top edge.

Prepare and apply binding to the top edge of the bin.

Finish the binding by hand or machine depending on your preferred method.

Gallery

There are many options with the bin. Consider stitching a coordinated set for a particular room or holiday.

Choose a design that allows you to embellish your design with fabric paints/pencils.

Consider adding different themes to each side of the bin to maximize your yearly use.

The possibilities are endless!
