Abby's Quilt (A Beginner Quilt) - Part 1
Making the Quilt Top Hi everyone. If you've stuck around for this third post - well done! Now we're ready to get into the nitty-gritty details of quilting. Let's start with the Pattern. Some feedback from my previous posts has been for more photos/visual aids. I'm not the best at taking photos, but I will plan to add photos to these posts soon! The Pattern I've drawn up a pattern that should be easy enough to follow even for beginner quilters. The finished quilt is 4.25 ft by 6.25 ft, which isn't a standard quilt size, but I think it works quite well as a single bed (twin) quilt. A mock-up of the pattern Quilt patterns are often written using "blocks". This is what we will use as well. The small blocks in this pattern are 3" by 3"; these make up the larger 9" by 9" quilt blocks. In this quilt, we use eight "nine-patch" colorful quilt blocks* ,
