Sttained glass patchwork
A stained glass quilt is a way to combine fabrics and colors into a unique design. These quilts are made with fabric strips in bright colors that look like windows. Black sashing frames every window and creates an eye-catching shape. In this tutorial you will learn how to use different fabrics in different ways to make stained glass quilts. To get started, start by choosing fabric and colors for the shapes.
Crazy quilts
Crazy patchwork quilts are a unique style of patchwork, which combines pieces of irregular-shaped fabric, often with elaborate embellishments. Crazy quilts can be made from a variety of fabrics, including cotton, wool, and even silk. Although the designs of crazy quilts are sometimes unpredictable, they can often be considered a work of art. In addition to using unconventional pieces of fabric, crazy quilts can also feature lace, ribbon, or silk.
Multi-needle hoop applique
To create a multi-needle hoop applique quilt top, you'll need a hoop, a design, and a thread. The hoop should be at least 175 mm in diameter, but larger is better. For a larger hoop, you can cut pieces from double-sided adhesive tap to serve as inner and outside ring reference points.
Reverse applique
A great way to give a quilt a unique look is reverse applique. This technique uses pieces of fabric to create a patchwork pattern. It is possible to stitch around the cut fabric in the center. You can then stitch along the stitching lines to finish the reverse applique. You can make your quilt look more complex by adding more applique pieces.
Block-style technique
Block-style quiltwork is an option for those looking for a more traditional approach to patchwork. By changing the size of your block, you can create many different patterns. Simply multiply the finished block size by. That is, you'll need to cut a piece of block half-inch smaller that the original block size. Next, divide the result square by 2.
