Recently, I helped a friend at work get started and she made a Triple Rail Fence quilt. Worked like a charm. She needed a finished project as a baby gift.
When I learned, I took a sampler class at a local quilt store and we worked from the book Quilts! Quilts! Quilts! I sure learned a lot and I appreciated that the techniques built on each other.
Hi and welcome to the forum. my first quilt was a log cabin. I think a 4 patch or 9 patch would be easy also.
Hi, and welcome to the forum!
These are all great suggestions. If you want to do a bigger project, use a layer cake. You'll get 40 pieces, each measuring 10" x 10". Just lay them out on your dining table or a bed, either five across by eight down, or however big you want it to be. (Just remember that the finished quilt will be somewhat smaller, because of the seam allowances. So five pieces across will be 5 x 10" = 50", minus two inches of seam allowance = 48" across.) Then stitch one row together at a time until you have eight rows. Then sew those eight rows together, and voila! Quilt top done. You can add borders if you like, but that is up to you. Have fun, and don't forget to post photos when you're done! :icon_happy:
