Crazy Quilting

Winter nights are cold and there’s nothing more comforting on those chilly nights then to curl on up the couch with a favorite quilt. In addition to their warmth, quilts can work as a cheerful decoration for any home. An intricately-patterned quilt can spice up a boring bed and a colorful quilt can be hung on a living room wall. Quilting is an art, and for quilters, just like any artists, choosing the right colors is one of the key components of their craft.

This is where a color wheel comes in handy. Color wheels are a quilting pattern supply that allows quilters to choose pleasing color combinations. Color wheels are made up of primary colors and secondary colors. The primary colors include blue, red and yellow. Mixing these colors can create all possible colors. Secondary colors are green, orange and violet.

I am really interested in making quilts. I have one that my grandmother made for me and I love it. I don’t really have any sewing experience, but I would love to learn. I decided to start my quilt-making hobby by signing up for a sewing class. Next, I know I will need to purchase the necessary quilting accessories.

I did a little research and here’s what I found: the most basic quilting supply I would need would be a variety of fabrics. Cotton fabrics are recommended but polyester fabrics are also an option. I also learned I would need a rotary cutter, a cutting mat, needles, thread and a quilting frame.
