After being in the presence of quilting brilliance at the recent V&A quilts exhibition many of us non-quilters have been raring to get in on the action. Once you start looking for quilt tutorials they're everywhere so I'll start you off with a bit of circular quilting fun.
Cluck Cluck Sew offer their Raw Edge Quilt tutorial as a bit of a different spin on your square-upon-square quilting formula. The effect of the quartered circles of fabric on the square background is rather fabulous.
It does look a little fiddly at times but if you're willing to sit down and pour some time into your quilt then why not go the whole way. Cluck Cluck Sew's writer, Allison, suggests you plonk yourself in front of the TV and get sewing.
One thing that really stands out is the way she matches her fabrics. If you're a little lost of what goes with what you can learn some good lessons from the ones she chooses.
One small quilt for you, one giant leap for your quilting skills.
