In the newest issue of Craft there was a short and sweet tutorial for a beautiful yosegire quilt. I’ve wanted to try quilting for a really long time but I’ve been pretty intimidated by the piecing aspect. I think this type of quilting is the perfect way to overcome that fear.
Yesterday I hauled my two tubs of scrap fabric into the living room and starting cutting out long strips in all different lengths. I decided that this would be a fairly light quilt top so I mainly used thrifted bed sheets.
I haven’t decided quite yet if I’ll use old flannelette sheets or actual quilt batting in the middle. Because I’m not selling this one I could use something that is recycled.
All in all it took me about six hours to cut and sew the to together. When finished it will fit on a queen sized bed. Not bad for a first time if I do say so myself. Here’s a sneak peek.
