I AM FAIRLY NEW TO QUILTING AND I LOVE IT I HAVE TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING THE INSTRUCTIONS I TRY AND AM FAIRLY INTELLIGENT IS THERE ATRICK TO KNOW WHERE TO START? HELP? THNAKS KAREN
Karen, the instructions are basically written for people who have a knowledge of quilting and just want cutting sizes and assembly directions. If you’re talking about the Quick Strippie instructions, they’re pretty straight forward.
You use 3 fabrics each of them cut a different width as indicated on the instruction sheet.
WOF means you cut them from selvage to selvage and typically you’re going to have about 42 - 44 inch wide fabric based on the width of most quilting fabrics.
Then all the rows are just sewn together as shown in the quilt picture.
You will need to even up the sides either as you sew the rows together or after the top is assembled.
If you’re very new to quilting, you may find that my instructions are not going to be detailed enough. I don’t teach you how to quilt in these instructions and they assume that you already know the basics.
This was the first quilting book I bought and one I recommend to new quilters - The Quilter’s Ultimate Visual Guide: From A to Z - Hundreds of Tips and Techniques for Successful Quiltmaking by Ellen Pahl (Editor),
Also, Bonnie Hunter’s Quiltville site has more detailed instructions so you may want to check it out. http://quiltville.com/
Thanks for sharing how you do these quilts - saves me having to reinvent the wheel. Love how your quilts have turned out and the size of your finished quilt is exactly the size I aim for in donation quilts to kids Will have to dig in my stash and see what fabrics I can use as soon as I get a couple of other projects done!
Thanks so much for this pattern, made one in no time this week & will make many more to use up my stash. What a great charity quilt! Great way to use up some of those cute kids fabrics I have in my stash!
what a great idea why didn`t i think of something like that myself . i don`t have much time to make quilts for all those charities that ask me for one, for fund raising. but i could do something like this in a weekend
thank you very much for this idea i shall put it to good use i`m a nurse so do not have much spare time but this idea of yours is perfect and as i`m a scot now living in new zealand i can use new zealand fabrics and patterns to do something like yours for fundraising …….
thank you very much
