A quilt is two layers of fabric with batting in between. Make a simple quilt by sewing squares of fabric together with quarter-inch seams. Sandwich with batting, then hand-quilt or machine sew through all layers to secure. You can quilt "in the ditch" between the squares or "freestyle". Use two-inch wide strips to create a binding around the edge.

The general steps involve piecing together the front of your quilt, usually from fabric pieces you cut out. Then you attach it to your backing and lining layers and quilt it.

Cut out different shape pieces from different coordinating fabrics and stitch them together in an attractive pattern. Darks and lights are used for contrast to show off the pattern.
