i want to make a quilt?
i need help with the best material to use and to make my quilt light in weight, easy to wash and not too warm...but very soft..
i live in a region where the climate is usually quite warm...and it doesn't get too cold in winter..please advice on any kinda material...thats easy to handle...i am a big fan of quilts...wat kinda design wud look good...are floral prints a better option
Use heavier weight cotton material because it cuts and sews so much more easily ( it doesn't slip as much). Go to the quilters section in the fabric store and you will get the idea. The batting I use is a polyester batting- it looks like a blanket and is really easy to use. It is cool in the summer, warm in the winter and is really light. It also doesn't shrink when washed so you don't have to pre- wash it before you use it. Go to a book store or library and find a book that has the beginning basics of quilting, they have lots of good tips. There are tons of books and magazines out there with beautiful patterns; look for the ones that rate the difficulty of the pattern. Start with an easy one because it takes a lot of practice to piece the more elaborate patterns and you don't want to overwhelm yourself the first time out. I have found that patterns don't matter so much as the color in a quilt, if the colors go together then I go for it. If you do pick a really wildly printed fabric though, it would be a good idea to choose the others in a more subdued print just so that they aren't fighting each other lol... hope I helped. Have fun.
