How To Create A Crazy Quilt Block By Block

I begged my mom to give me the quilt, and luckily, she did. I now treasure this quilt, thinking of all the memories stitched into this quilt, each stitch done with love.

A unique gift must have all the unique features as an exclusive gift to be given. Special and personalized gift will be more adorable and accepted one. Hand or foot printed blanket looks so cute and lovable that one cannot deny accepting it.

The cold, damp nights were particularly tough to get through with any kind of true rest. The warm quilt material was a welcome protection and security from the drafty old colonial houses and they quickly became popular.

Women did then as they do now -- they got creative and sewed together the fabrics they had, including scraps. New quilt styles emerged that we recognize today and hold dear in our homes, or see exhibited in a gallery as art.

Quilt Blanket While washing a duvet make certain that the machine has enough space so that it can move comfortably. Do not make the mistake to use hot water for washing a quilt. It will completely fade the colour. Lukewarm water would be perfect to run on gentle cycle. As the soap would not get washed out just in one cycle, so rinse the duvet again so that soap would come out and repeat this until soap gets removed completely. Drying process is also not a big mess. With such a heavy weight, it would not be possible for one to put it right into the dryer.

The preferred needle type for woven cotton fabrics is called a "sharp." Sizes 75/11 and 80/12 are good choices for piecing, quiltmaking, and binding most simple quilt patterns. Use a smaller needle (70/10) if you're piecing tightly woven batiks and a larger needle (90/14) for flannels. Dull needles can cause skipping or uneven stitches, so it's a good idea to insert a fresh needle at the start of every project.

If you are truly a beginner quilter then consider purchasing a kit to make the baby quilt. These can be purchased at a local fabric store, online, or even Walmart. They walk you step by step through the quilting process. Included in the kit is everything that you will need to accomplish a completed quilt. This is an easy way for beginners to get their feet wet and learn all of the basics of sewing. The only drawback is that you have to choose the designs that are available. There are a great deal of options to choose from if you look at a variety of places. Once you have gathered all of the necessary skills then you can work on making more original works at a later date.

Quilting your blanket: Place your quilt top on your backing trying to make sure that the seam (that you ironed open) are laying open on your backing. Place safety pins about 6 inches apart all over the quilt. Then quilt by either the tying or machine quilting method. This will keep your quilt top and quilt backing together.
