Patchwork Quilt Ideas

The first quilt I ever made was a simple hand sewn patchwork quilt worked in strips at my Grandmothers knee. A pattern now done on a machine and committed to memory that has been repeated many times over as Christmas, Anniversary, Wedding and Shower gifts.

The size of the squares can be adjusted to make it fit any size bed, crib or daybed by simply measuring the mattress top, dividing by 6 and adding 1/2 inch per square for seam allowances.

Patchwork and quilting are often combined in the same project, but these two have different techniques. Patchwork is the skill of sewing together different fabrics to form a pattern. On the other hand, quilting is sewing together three layers that make up a quilt – the top, the central wadding, and the backing. Patchwork quilts are captivating to look at, and exciting to create.

Patchwork quilt is such a great addition to your home. Let your entire family sleep comfortable especially during winter because of its thick materials. It also lasts long enough because of the high quality materials needed to be used on the DIY project.
