Basic Skills
Part One - Choosing a Project
PLEASE start small. You may have a hankering to make a double-king-size quilt for your beloved niece's wedding in three weeks time, but, believe me, you can't do that yet.
A bag, a cushion, a table mat. Yes, unexciting, but achievable and finishable and not going to make you learn new Bad Words. The skills take a bit of practice, and you may well hate the project long before you get near to the end...

Maybe not this small...
Miniature quilts are among the most complicated things we do
A Sampler Quilt is a great way to try out different blocks, techniques, and ideas - click on the image to take you to our Block Of The Month page
And this is another version from exactly the same patterns
Don't be afraid to ask for advice, and always try out a block before you commit to the cutting mat - it may be the colour you like, not the pattern
