Do you just love colors? Can't decide your favorite? - or they are all your favorites?
Just love to look at pictures of quilts - and pet every quilt you get near?
No matter if you can handstitch or not, a sewing machine can be magic for you!
....and you are not likely to notice if it is hard or not!
Get four strips of fabric and for now not worrying too much about the stitches, sew them all together into one long piece four colors high. Now measure across the piece the shortest way. WRITE that number down. Take a ruler and measure the same number of inches along the edge of the long way.
Draw lines straight up and down to make a square. Cut it off with a pair of scissors, Now do that again and cut another square. and cut more squares until you can't cut any more.
Take one of those squares, take another square and turn it 90* Sew them together. Make sure the corners of both blocks match on top of each other. Do it again - now you will have two pieces of two blocks. Sew them together to make four blocks sewn together.
If you have two more, sew them all together so you have six blocks sewn together.
Hurrah! you have made a little center of a quilt top!
