Quilting is a pleasurable and interesting hobby which takes some time and effort to accomplish. If you're a beginner, you are likely to get pissed off with the errors that you make, but don't lose hope. Read these top three tips on how to make a patchwork quilt to help you get the job done right

Tip 1: You Needn't Be A Perfectionist, At Least Not Yet Anyhow

Since you're still a beginner in this craft, don't expect your first quilt to be perfect. Your existing quilting skills and abilities may be demonstrated through the work. The pattern and the quilting design may reflect your creative skills and personality and the fabrics that you choose also matters a lot. If you make mistakes, appreciate them and learn from your experience and you'll improve gradually along the way. Beginning quilters tend to get discouraged early on when the result isn't what they expected so just take pleasure in the learning process

Tip 2: Don't Attempt Difficult Patterns Too Soon

Strangely, one of the many reasons that attract people to the hobby of quilting is when they notice a beautiful pattern somewhere. You might have similarly observed a beautiful quilt and you wish to make it now. However, you should take note that those quilts with intricate patterns take the highest level of skill therefore it may only frustrate you if you're not able to accomplish the task. Thus, a simple pattern that can be easily accomplished is what you should choose on your first attempt. Select simple patterns like those with squares that can be strip pieced similar to a Log Cabin.

Tip 3: Select The Ideal Kind of Fabric

When trying to learn how to create a patchwork quilt, make sure that you pick out cheap fabric material that is easy to work with. Since you're still a newbie, you might get afraid and worried that you'll only waste the costly fabric once you cut into it. So, just go cheap at first and later on, you can buy better quality and costlier fabric materials as you gain more practice.
