I love making quilts. I am a little confused, are we not choosing our own fabric for the square? Are we limited to one square. My favorite quilts to make are memory quilts. I have actually designed scrapbook like pages before they go on the quilt. I would however, suggest that if pictures are being put on it to tie knot it. I have seen quilts with pics that have been quilted and it really ruins the look of the picture block. When people want my quilts quilted, my mom and I simply follow the seams of the quilt and blocks. That way it does not interfere with the pics. I also keep the squares no bigger than 8 inches. If people want pics on the quilt, they could be sent to me and I can transfer them for everyone . After a couple dozen quilts, I have it down to a pretty good science. I only use one type of paper because I do not like the rest on the market and I use one particular fabric.
Do we need someone to sew the quilt together and add the batting and backing? I would be willing to do that. |
