Easier than they look
I really like quilt blocks that are fairly easy to make but look difficult. I have read and bookmarked all of Rhonda's instructions and have made a few blocks. I like the D9P, and I have just completed a 'Square Dance' quilt top using Cheryl Petreman's instructions. (http://cheryl.thisbe.org/SquareDance.pdf)
Does anyone know of other quilts that look complicated but are actually fairly easy to make? |
Do aTwister quilt! They are addictive and are easy to make.

There's various ways to do the disappearing 9 patch, the 10 minute block, which looks like the Cathedral Windows, but is a whole lot less time consuming, I would also suggest going to Quilter's Cache. She has tons of free patterns.

I am new to quilting also. 6 months now. I am working on "Winter Stars" (www.FonsandPorter.com). Look under their $5.00 downloadable patterns. It looks difficult, but with the use of their templates, a piece of cake. I took the opportunity to try my hand at making plastic templates. I went to ACE Hardware and bought a plexiglass cutter and, using an old piece of plexi, cut the templates. They work great. Hope you like the pattern as much as I do.

My favorite really easy quilt is called "Weaver Fever" , it goes together really fast .
Here is a link to what it looks like http://subversivestitch.blogspot.com...ver-fever.html |
Go Twister fun and you get addicted and can make so many patterns.

Does anyone know of other quilts that look complicated but are actually fairly easy to make? go back to the old standards, 9 patch, 4 patch, 5 patch. Most are HST, sometimes with solid squares. You can enlarge them to make one block the center section on a big quilt. One of my favorites that shows up here quite often is the Carpenter's Wheel. It's HST and solid blocks and looks wonderful as a lone center block. |
