A first quilt needs a rotary cutter, a self-healing cutting mat, a long quilting ruler, a sewing machine with a straight stitch and fabric. Precuts such as charm packs and jelly rolls save cutting time and come in coordinated colours.
Choose a simple pattern made of squares or strips, sew with an accurate quarter-inch seam, and press each seam as you go. Free precut patterns from Moda Bake Shop and video tutorials from Missouri Star Quilt Company are a gentle way in.
To finish, you will need backing fabric a few inches larger than the quilt top on every side, batting and binding strips. The StitchRove quilt calculator works out the yardage for all three.
