Quilt Mat


How to Make a Quilt


  I tried quilting for the first time.  Its not that hard to do if you have hours to do it.  You can go to any place that sales fabric and get a pack of fabric squares.  I got these squares off Amazon under quilting squares the price ranges from $8-$12 for a pack of squares.

1.) You start by sewing a line of squares together-you sew the same way as other fabric-place the squares face to face so the design part is facing each other and sew the pieces together-(I did a role of 6) then sew those roles together. 

2.) Once their sown together it's like any other piece of fabric. You can make the entire mat quilted on both sides or use another piece of whole fabric to sew the quilt piece onto. 

I was thinking of making a baby bag as my next project if I get more time.  It's time consuming to sew all the squares together but the results are definitely worth it.  I used PUL as the other fabric so it could be water resistant for my daughter's bottles (and spit-up).
