Make Rustic Quilts
1. Begin by selecting your fabric and pattern for your rustic quilts. Selecting your pattern is integral, as it would determine what fabric you would like to work with and vice versa.
2. Now cut out your intended pattern. While doing so ensure that the pieces are cut right or else the quilt block wouldn’t line up correctly. Use a rotary cutter to give an accurate cut to your rustic quilts.
3. Using a quarter inch seam allowance, sew each block together. In order to ensure accuracy mark your sewing machine throat plate with a piece of masking tape. Although most patterns usually come with directions, you might want to place the pieces together so that you continue sewing in a straight line.
4. Once all the blocks are made, you should decide at this point as to whether you would like to add borders on your rustic quilts. Proceed to cut the long strips of fabric around the blocks and sew them together. Repeat this process until you have one large piece in hand.
5. Now select the type of batting. This could either be high loft batting if you are looking to make puffy quilts or low loft batting if you want a sleeker appearance.
6. Select the backing material for your rustic quilts. If you are planning on making fairly large quilts, you would want to piece together entire widths of fabric.
7. The next step would involve the actual quilting process. Using a matching thread sew all the layers together. Begin from the middle and gradually work your way out in each direction. You can either do this by hand or by using a sewing machine. Sew from one end to the other in curved or straight lines and your rustic quilt is done.
Making your own rustic quilts can be a very creative process, not to mention cost effective, as you can use scraps of material lying around the house or simply purchase them for cheap in bulk. Give a rural spirit look to your bedroom with these colorful self-made rustic quilts.
