What is quilting?
Technically speaking, Quilting is a series of small, straight stitches which forms the quilting design.

Where do the ideas for quilting come from?
I hope to challenge you with how to make a quilt instructions, beginner quilt patterns, ideas for quilting, projects and techniques that will inspire you to join the quilting family.
Many quilt blocks are traditional and have been around for many years. The traditional quilt patterns and the new variations on the old favorite block patterns are the most popular of all quilt patterns. The variation of quilt blocks use simple shapes to build complex looking quilts.
The ideas for quilting are unlimited.
There are so many quilt patterns out there it is hard to know where to begin your first qullt. There are the traditional or antique quilt patterns such as the log cabin quilt patterns, Jacob’s ladder, wedding ring pattern, broken dishes and the nine patch just to name a few.
Color is the key to turning triangles, rectangles, diamonds, circles and squares of fabric into works of art.
