How to Design a Quilt

If you are about to start making a quilt, whether it is for you, a loved one, or something you are going to sell, one of the first things you need to think about is the quilting design. There are so many different quilting designs you can use, so before you can even start to get the materials and fabrics you will need, first you will have to choose the design. Here are some ways to choose the quilting design that is best for the quilt you will be making.

The first thing you should do is consider who the quilt is for. If you are going to be making a baby quilt, you might want to put a design with teddy bears, or ducks, or something else that would go for a baby. You wouldn't want to make a quilt for your best friend with the same design that you would make for a baby. So first you should think about who is getting the quilt, and what they like, or what their taste is.

The second thing you might want to do is flip through a few quilting books, or go online to look at a bunch of different quilting blocks. This should give you some ideas of what you can make, and will make it easier in the next step, which is when you will figure out what type of quilting design you should use when you make the quilt. This should really help you get started, if not help you find exactly what you are looking for.

Once you know who the quilt is for, you can start to think about what type of quilt to make them. You can pick a nice block that you think they might like, and use some of their favorite colors to make a really nice quilt. Another idea would be to use one or two blocks to create a design that will go well in their bedroom.

You can also create a "crazy quilt" as your quilt design, and do almost anything. You can also try to create your own design. There are an unlimited number of different ways you can do quilting design, and as long as you know what type of things the person you will be using the quilt will like, you should be able to make a great quilt.
