If you are starting to quilt.
Step 1... find a SIMPLE quilt pattern ... a 9 patch is a very good place to begin. Most beginners needs to start with a 12 inch block Step 2... decide if you want a "scrappy" - many colors or a "planned" - only certain colors Step 3... decide on what colors you want in your quilt.... Step 4... Accurately cut out your squares... Step 5... sew these squares together using 1/4 inch seam allowance. Step 6 ... post pictures to this board so we can ooo and ahhh over your beautiful creation. |
