* Please note that this post is a redrafted version of a post released earlier this week, with changes made to reflect how awesome people can be when they work for a common good.
Sometimes the stars align and two amazing and sex-postive quilt designers are working on designs that run along the same theme. Sometimes they never know about each other’s desire to release their work to the public and they toil away none-the-wiser and sometimes the internet brings them together with a cosmic crash and what results can go one of two ways.
- It can be a blaming, hate filled cat fight
- It can be a working through of timelines, understanding and appreciation for each other’s talents. <–they went for this option!
After all you have to be something really BadAss to be drafting and sewing countless representations of sex toys and these two quilters define BadAss in my book! I know that I can say that both Amy and Julie appreciate all the people in their lives that expressed concern over what could have been a very ugly matter and want to assure everyone that things are cool now and that a little bit of understanding and talking face to face (errr…. phone to phone?) can help us connect as people and work past most any issue.
By the way, this post is STILL NOT SAFE FOR WORK {NSFW} if you keep scrolling you will see sex toys.
I told you….. are you still scrolling???
SEX TOYS ON QUILTS….still with me??
Two designers, and a whole bunch of very fun and sexy designs might not be right for every quilt you make but might just make you the most popular quilter at the next retreat as you are piecing these blocks!!
These two quilters are out to smash taboos and make us all a bit more comfortable with our own pleasure or that of our partner.
The blocks on the left are by Vulgar Quilts collection by Owly Patterns. The blocks on the right are by Amy Dame and are listed on Amy Dame Makes Stuff Both of these collections make up 8 inch blocks and will work wonderfully together on any kinky quilt you care to make. (Can I just say that I never dreamed I would type the phrase “Kinky quilt” but there you go, life is full of surprises!)
That said, maybe just one block to start.. make it into a pillow with a secret pocket in the back to hide your own toy…. come on, I know you have one! (South Dakota I am looking at you!)
Read more about the designer Amy Dame right here! Yep, click here, you know you want to!
Read more about Julie and Owly Patterns right here, click it… click it good!
I know that I have more than one marvelously naughty person in my life who would adore a cheeky gift made from one of these blocks… how about you??
Question for you Maddie – do you know if the 8″ is the “finished” or “unfinished” size? 😅 Sorry, I couldn’t resist!
OMG! OMG! OMFG! LOVE it!!!
My friend calls her BOB, her battery operated boyfriend. The nights and winters are apparently long in SD.
Thank you so much for taking the extra time to make this edit Maddie.
I think it was nerve wracking for all three of us… but I’m so pleased that (despite time zones and schedules) we were able to communicate clearly, connect on a personal level, and explain the situation.
I am so glad to be a part of a subset of the quilting community that includes such amazing BAQs as Amy and Maddie. And while I never use this… #blessed comes to mind to describe the emotions in one overused hashtag.
Thank you to everyone who showed concern and support for both of us. It’s important to support the designers in your life.
Thank you for allowing us the time we needed to get in touch with each other and talk.
Thank you for your understanding, as we move forward, supporting each other and all of our hard work, together.

Can I ask where you got the idea for these? A couple look EXACTLY like someone else’s work.
Interesting.
I saw very similar patterns at the Bad Ass Quilters Skin Deep exhibit, – do you think she copied yours?
I would just like to point out that these designs very closely resemble some paper pieced sex toy blocks that my friend Amy Dame make about 8 months ago and posted her to her social media accounts. I would love to know if the designer has consulted with her on these. They are so similar, I actually thought that Amy had released a pattern until I read the whole article.
OMG thank you Maddie! I have already had to explain to my guild what steampunk is when I turned up with a steamy quilt… my as well finish giving them a fright!
😆😆😆 I love it! And yes, I know what they are
Oh girls! Come on! I don’t believe that you don’t recognise these toys…..
OMG, OMG, OMG!!!!!!! ;-0
I love this!! I know what they are…😶.i love someone made blocks! I will be buying each one!😊
At 62..tonight admit I know what they are, general idea of how they are used and swear I’ve never because I’m married to not a purd, but omg that’s not normal. To bad I’m with a guild whom would more than likely escort me to the door if I built one.

I LOVE THIS QUILT…EVEN IF I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SOME OF THESE THINGS ARE.Guess I’ll ask my grands..lol
The problem is these put me in the same predicament that playing Cards Against Humanity does – explaining to my kids how their boring mother knows what these things are.

You win the Internet. I can make my kid speechless!
Love love love!
So I have no idea what some of those things are. I see a tree. A retainer for your teeth. That top right corner that one…scary. Flaming asshole. Not sure I want mine flaming lol. Then a bookmark with a heart. Next a headband for karate. Then the obvious wiener and vibrators. Then I see the solar system in hot pink! Lol just having fun!! Thanks for sharing. Our imaginations have no boundaries.
Nope, I won’t go there. I have a hard enough time with the x-rated fabric.
Oh, Maddie- you are such a bright spot in my day!
Let’s see, how about an ITH battery keeper as well 😉
I may be almost-60, but the saucy minx in me lives on lol
Fabulous! Wish I had known about this when I made an appliqued mini for a friend a few weeks ago. https://www.instagram.com/p/BThnOEYFxD0/
Those are awesome!
Hmmm …. well, I thought I was well educated. There’s one that I have no clue what it is. Haha! So, what *IS* that blue ‘c’-thing?
It’s called the We-vibe!
Google we vibe.
G spot vibrator
OK, quick glimpse at the first one had me thinking, “what the hell do you use a Dremel for in sex??”
Cause, you know. Inquiring minds and all that.
Butt plug.
