Chapter 1: Choosing Fabrics
The first step in patchwork quilting is choosing the fabrics you want to use. There are a few things to keep in mind when making your selection:
- Color: The colors of your fabric will play a big role in the overall look and feel of your quilt. Consider the colors that you like and the colors that will work well together. You can also use a color wheel to help you choose colors that will create a pleasing effect.
- Pattern: The pattern of your fabric can also add interest to your quilt. Consider using fabrics with different patterns, such as solids, prints, and plaids. You can also use fabrics with different textures to add depth to your quilt.
- Weight: The weight of your fabric will affect how your quilt drapes. Lightweight fabrics, such as cotton and voile, will create a lighter quilt that is perfect for summer. Heavier fabrics, such as denim and canvas, will create a heavier quilt that is perfect for winter.
Chapter 2: Cutting Fabric
Once you have chosen your fabrics, you will need to cut them into squares or rectangles. The size of your squares or rectangles will depend on the size of your quilt. You can use a rotary cutter and a cutting mat to make precise cuts.
