Quilts were made as a necessity at first but made with love. I was looking a few years age at a quilt made by a mum for her11 baby as she had made quilts for each of her others. The gentleman died in his 90s I think but with his quilt still wrapped over him. The quilt had many holes and faults and you good see how mum had struggled to sew it and find fabric but it was loved and used. Keep using what you have and try different methods and techniques and patterns. From this knowledge you will slowly acquire the necessities. Go to a class and I'm sure as we did you will borrow tools from other quilters. Majority of quilters ar very generous and will share any tool idea or ven help.
I started with a pair of scissors, needle thread and old skirt oh and cardboard from breakfast cereal. I still have that project. I made many and still do make by hand. I have expensive and cheap machines each is special. If you were closer I would give you one sorry.
