The patchwork quilts are lovely to look, have and do. In the past generations, the patchwork quilt was one of the first things many young people learned to do. Starting is really simple and you will develop your creative skill every time you finish a quilt.

Before sewing
Add pieces of tissue. They can be from other sewing designs, old dresses or woven fabrics donated by relatives and friends. Save them for your patchwork quilt.
Depending on your taste, fabrics can be all of a single and uniform size or various sizes and formats. Think of how the pieces will look like a whole. Try to have at least six different prints.
Find a sketch. Browse the Internet (Google Books is a good place to start) and handicraft books by a drawing that meets your interests or create your own model deciding how you want your quilt to look.
The design of the bedspreads uses small pieces of fabrics to create a visual collage of a model of a drawing. The pieces are usually not smaller than 5 cm ² and can be much larger depending on the design chosen.
Establish a quilt model that you want to use. Then cut pieces of tissue that will provide the colors and prints you need. Good scissors is good use here.
Be sure to leave a sewing margin of 1.25 cm from all sides. If you want square of 5 cm, square cut of 6.25 on all sides.
Of course you don't have to wear squares. Rectangles and triangles will also serve.
Assemble your drawing on the floor. It's a lot easier to organize your quilt while she's not stitched up. Organize the pieces in the exact order you want them. Besides seeing how the colours stick together, you'll see how big your quilt is and if you're happy with the size.

Making the Bedspread
Sew the pieces of your bedspread together. Go take a cop. You can use a sewing machine or handy, if you rely on your points – and if you have patience.
Once you have all the strips sewn, sew the strips into each other. It will be easier to make every cop first instead of sewing everything together disorganizedly.
Make sure the tissues are all on the right side! Prints need to be together. If you are using a sewing machine, make sure that the foot is regulated to 1.25 cm.
Pass the bedspread with iron. Adjust to the appropriate temperature for your tissue. Smooth the joints to make sure the bedspread has the correct appearance when finished.
Use a solid-colored lining for your bedspread. It must be 20 cm larger and wider than the quilt ready. A tissue store will cut in the right size for you, but you may need to buy two large chunks of tissue and sew them together.
Open the lining in an area where you can open your work. Put the lining on the floor with the right down. The beautiful side must be contrary to what you see.
Put the lining on the floor or on a large, wide table. Place the right side of the tissue facing downwards. Open the lining smoothing any fold.
Nail the base and top of the lining on the floor using crepe ribbon, smooth the folds in the process, before nailing both ends. It is important to leave it the smoothest and without bends possible, without pulling the fabric too much so that it does not distort the natural lines.
Once you are happy with the organization, use a little spray 505 on the tissue.

Open the quilt filling on the tissue. The filling tends to keep creases where it was folded, but as long as it stretched well do not worry if the brands are still visible (as above). The lining doesn't have to be passed.
Pass another layer of spray on filling.
Put the top part of the quilt with the right up. This layer needs to be all flat without creases. You will realize that this layer is smaller than the two lower layers – this is intentional, because otherwise it is very difficult to align the layers perfectly. Smooth any crease until the bedspread is perfectly settled.
Pin the layers together at a distance of 15 cm between a pin and another. You can use as many pins as you wish. Start keep needling from the center out, in concentric circles. So any extra piece of tissue is pushed to the outer part of the quilt rather than being wrinkled to the center.
Once it's all alfinetado, remove the crepe tape by releasing the bedspread from the floor.
Start sewing everything together. How will you hold the layers together is a lotMore a matter of personal preference, experienced seamstresses almost always use a free point that makes ripples through the bedspread in loops and'm expecting tumbles. However, for many the simplest method is to ' sew in the ditches '. This means simply sewing through the quilt in such a way that the dots fall within the ' ditches ' created where two fabrics were sewn.
Baste the layers together in the alfinetados points or apply around the drawings on the quilt with contrasting line to give a good trim in the tissue. You will also need to give some points of basting in the middle of each square avoiding the layers to scroll.
Once the bedspread is fully sewn, you can format the quilt by cutting the unwanted lining and filling tips that are passing the edges.

Making the bias
Cut bias strips. That depends on the size of the quilt. A good reference is an approximate width of 6.25 cm. This will make a smooth and uniform border all around the quilt.
Cut strips enough to circulate the bedspread. The final strip needs to be a little bigger than the bedspread to overlap both sides.
If you do not have four long strips, sew strips together to cover the size of the bedspread.
Align the bias. With the right sides together (i.e. one leaning on the other), align the bias strip with the top edge of the quilt and then pin along the edge of the bedspread.
Sew exactly 2.5 cm from the rim. Sew from one end of the quilt to the other. When reaching the tip, carefully cut the excess of bias in such a way that the base of the bias is perfectly aligned with the base of the bedspread.
Repeat with the opposite side and then again with the other two sides.
