WHEN
You wish to start a quilt project, you have two choices: either take a pattern from a magazine, a book or a website that was made by a designer or imagine it yourself. You might believe that there is no way for you to be able to do such a thing.
Well there is a way.
WHAT
You need to learn the steps of the shapes, colors and distribution. In traditional patchwork, blocks are made of basic shapes such as squares, triangles and rectangles. Once you have established which ones you will be using, you decide on your color palette from the color wheel or why not just from your environment and nature.
WHERE
You can find all that information on blogs, websites or books, but they will only give you small parts of the whole picture, haven't you noticed that magazines will give you the quilt pattern but usually don't inform you on how to quilt it. Websites will also give instructions on how to make a project with a certain fabric collection but what happens when that collection isn't available anymore?
WHO
You need help choosing your color range? You need someone to show you how to quilt and bind your project? DESIGNING A QUILT 101 will help you through those steps and much more, it will even give you the tools to create your own patterns. With helpful worksheets, exercises and templates, you will make your way through the making of a quilt in no time wether you are a beginner or a teacher, you will have access to all the material you need to achieve your goal and color coordination won't be a mystery to you anymore.
