A Beginners Patchwork Quilt Tutorial

Make A Pretty Charm Square Quilt

To get started with quilting, it’s a great idea to try a quick quilt and start seeing results quickly. It’s rewarding and so exciting, you won’t stop.

 

 

Charm squares are a comfortable size to work with, and provide a bigger choice of fabrics. Then the best part, laying them out to create your very own design.

The tutorial includes best thread weight to use (50wt) and instructions for making a crib size or throw size. Make it larger or smaller adjusting the amount of blocks. There’s a coloring sheet included as a quick fabric/color guide to plan out your quilt before sewing the blocks together.
