Once when I was visiting my sister, I taught her how to make half-square triangles. The lightbulb when on when we opened them up and began playing with different ways to arrange them. She is now off and running, making all sorts of small quilts and table runners. A pattern that is simple and fairly quick is called "romance around the world." This is one I've made twice. It is only squares and half-square triangles.

My first quilt was a yellow brick road. Very easy!

I took advice from ladies running a quilt shop and bought a pattern called "Strip Cocktail." It wasn't fool proof for a beginner like me, but pretty close. (I didn't have such consistent 1/4" seams). It made up quite beautiful as the jelly rolls were all color/pattern compatabile. Good luck. Oh, the 3rd quilt I did was "The big block quilt." That's really fun as it goes together quickly; it's a modern, contemporary look.

Take a look at Eleanor Burns , Quilt in a Day books/patterns. Her directions are some of the best written. She also has lots of free videos on her site. For beginners ... its tough to beat Eleanor Burns.
Good luck and welcome to the world of quilting!! |
