How can I make a quilt square portions to cut my children's old clothes?
I have all the clothes of the children in ruins (with various types of stains and holes) that my family and I loved them. I hear you can make a quilt with patches of their children different clothes and I would do that. I do not want make a queen size bed quilt, I just want to be the size of my oldest son (3ft. long, 4 feet wide), has to sound like a good size? If not, what are your recommendations? I have a machine for planting; Is this project still possible for me? How to make a quilt like this? About how how long will it take? What other types of material need (in addition to the scissors of children clothing, ropes and seeding of the needle) and how generally Cost? Sorry for the mountain of questions. I just want to do something for my children that will last a long time and have tons of memories and sentimental value. Thanks for the help!
You can make a quilt by hand, but it will take a good bit of time. The easiest way for you to do with old clothes that their children would cut blocks (4x4, 5x5 or whatever size you want). You can keep it simple by doing just the blocks or you can put a border of another material to frame the blocks. It really is a creative effort you make in your comparison. I must say that a sewing machine really helps if you can borrow one. I made a crib quilt by hand and machine, and it took about a month. I started a quilt queen, I'm still working, I used a machine to put all the blocks together, but I am hand quilts on all the rest. Long process:) As for the materials you need: a background tissue in the batting between the front and back pieces, binding edge, and a rotary cutter and MAT are really helpful. There are many good books out there for the basics well. You can also take an introductory class ... I did. It was very helpful and I learned that I really like. Good luck!
