Has good color matches for a basic lesson in use of color, offers practice in joining pieces that require(or a least suggest?) a perfect point and alignment to be accurate without a huge amount of difficulty. Hand appliqué is fun to learn. I want to learn reverse appliqué at some point.<BR/><BR/>Because I had years of sewing experience I figured it would be fine to purchase a simple quilt pattern, fabrics and quilt making tools, read the instructions then jump right in! Didn't occur to me that I could take a class or make a small project that offers several types of quilt lessons first...went for the big project...then took the class's. :)<BR/><BR/>My "Bear Paws in the Blueberry Patch" quit (in my blog archive)is my first full size quilt project. I think it turned out okay. I also made a wall hanging that remains to be blogged. I should put it on there. It would offer a good lesson as to why classes are a really great idea!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08953124220818985910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6124527202327437783.post-35742728144334882832007-10-27T14:56:00.000+13:002007-10-27T14:56:00.000+13:00Red, white and blue, whats wrong with those colour...Red, white and blue, whats wrong with those colours?<BR/>I think it's a sweet wee quilt and you should pat yourself on the back.louleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09814376067060612475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6124527202327437783.post-57348615111724877942007-10-27T07:46:00.000+13:002007-10-27T07:46:00.000+13:00And if the heart is appliqued by hand so much the ...And if the heart is appliqued by hand so much the better because it teaches convex and concave in hand stitching. I have been considering the Dutchman's Puzzle block (the center of your quilt) as my contribution to the BOM that I'm participating in every month. My quilting group consists of the newest of new beginners and very advanced quilters. I thought about teaching them the "No Waste" flying geese method as part of the block. I like your little quilt and it is a good beginners quilt to teach.Paula, the quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17662592713610165406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6124527202327437783.post-9637090368796287512007-10-27T06:35:00.000+13:002007-10-27T06:35:00.000+13:00I think that is a great quilt to start newbies out...I think that is a great quilt to start newbies out with - the nine patch is great for squares and strip piecing, the flying geese for the triangles, and you even have applique thrown in there. Your quilters will be off to a great start with this one.Shelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870112367076954109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6124527202327437783.post-58121149765695523542007-10-27T06:17:00.000+13:002007-10-27T06:17:00.000+13:00We are always our own harshest critic!
