A growing series of articles on beginner quilting from quilt size and design to finished patchwork quilt
When I began quilting I read books, attended workshops, read magazine articles and googled anything connected with beginner quilting. What I hope to do with this beginner quilting series is draw together in one place the things that I learned from all those different sources. The beginner quilting series begins with a look at design, colour and size for your beginner quilt and then progresses to the practical how to quilt, with what I hope are clear and easy to understand instructions for each step of the process. You'll find that beginner quilting is just that - a series of steps, each one taking you further along the line towards making your completed patchwork quilt. You might just find that then you become as hooked as I am and start immediately on your next project!
Good luck!
