Tutorial Round Up: Easy Quilts
I have a confession to make. I absolutely despise quilt making. Most time consuming, least fun thing I’ve ever made. Seriously. My head hurts thinking about sewing all of those little pieces together. I have so much respect for hardcore quilters – I don’t know how they do it! It’s art and I don’t have the talent for it. BUT! I’ve been seriously wanting a quilt lately. Because they’re pretty. Seeing coordinating fabrics together makes me happy. So I went on a quest to find some quilt tutorials that won’t make my head hurt. And I’m really excited to try one some time soon!
Sunburst quilt | Ric rac blanket
Simple solid quilt | Simple 4 square quilt
Easy rag quilt | Circle applique quilt
I think I’m most likely to try the stripe quilt first. And the ric rac blanket inspires me to make a quilt with pom pom trim around the edges. I kinda love that stuff!
Have you ever tried to make a quilt? Love it? Hate it?
Thanks for sharing the tutorials. I have been dying to learn how to quilt but I’m a little scared. I’m scared that either I will be terrible at it and will end up wasting my time making something hideous or I will love it and it will be my new obsession that I really don’t have time for. But the tutes you chose look a little easier than average, so maybe I can get over my fear and jump in.
I love the sunburst quilt! And I love your idea of using pompoms around a blanket. <3 !!!
trying to get back into making quilts again I have two I have made but not finished
they are lovely not only because I made them but they just are
I like to sew my own work clothes just to be different
love all that you show and do here
have a wonderful crafty day
i don’t quilt but my mom does. i never inherited the “sewing bug.” i’d rather crochet. i’ve crocheted a turtle afghan, a rose afghan, (which won a blue ribbon at the county fair here!!), an american flag throw a kitty blanket, a circular throw, baby blankets, a couple of toys for my granddaughter……right now i’m working on the Blue Mandala Throw out of the Crochet World Magazine–june 2011, vol. 34, no. 3. i’m getting along fine with it since i had some help from one of the moderators of a crochet group i’m in. i keep busy with my crochet. by the way–i love receiving your emails–love your gleeful things blog!!!
