Learning to Quilt

So you want to learn how to quilt...

I remember when I first learned to quilt years ago. My best friend Sharon got me started. Looking back I should have tried quilting sooner. Turns out my grandmother was a quilter and very crafty as well. If I had lived closer to my grandmother maybe I could have started my passion sooner. However, I feel as if I've been quilting all my life. So its never to late to start quilting!

 

Picking your first quilt.
If you can you should start out simply and small. You will have an easier time with something simple like a baby or lap size quilt. Don't worry, you'll make a bigger quilt before you know it.

 

Pick out fabric you love!! Yes it's nice to use stuff you have laying around but its also hard to make a quilt that you are not passionate about.

 

Remember, you are going to make mistakes along the way and that's how you will learn. Just have fun and enjoy.

Happy Quilting
