Learning to create appliqué quilt pattrerns

Friday, February 11th, 2011

As a beginner to quilting I am always interested in appliqué quilt patterns. I find many interesting patterns that are easy to create, and you can also buy them already created.

I came across this web-site offering a huge variety of appliqué patterns and decided to share this with you guys. Go over to Cabbage Rose Quilts and check out the pretty blocks and supplies. I hope you enjoy!

Easy quilt patterns using letters

Friday, February 4th, 2011

I recently made two quilts for my kids, so I made something with easy quilt patterns in mind. I wanted to make the quilts interchangeable. I used letters large and small in all different colors from a crazy word jumble, and placed them all over the quilt in different sizes and shapes.

Next I put them in a wacky order that made it look like you’ve thrown them onto the blanket, sort of messy like. This made the quilts fit in for my kids because it didn’t make there room look so neat for them, and they liked that; and believe it or not this made them make there beds more?
