Interesting Quilting Fabric Choices

quilting fabricFor me, it is as much the interesting quilting fabric on a quilt as it is the pattern and design that capture my attention. Christian motif quilts with crosses, doves and Bibles, bright rainbow colors of stained glass, love quilts with beautiful, puffed hearts, memory quilts with delicate choices of fabric decorated with leaves and flowers are the ones that are the most special. But the fabric choice in each of these is what captures the viewer the most. The colors, the texture, the design and the placing of each piece of fabric is what the creative masters of quilt making blend together perfectly. Some of them are quite enchanting and mesmerizing.

Cutting Quilting Fabric Is Half The Fun

quilting fabricStarting with a bunch of different shaped pieces of fabric and creating them into one large work of art is what quilting is all about. Cutting these quilting fabrics is half the fun. Picking your fabric, deciding on the design and cutting them out is not only fun but the beginning and very important part of the whole process.

Here's how you start; use a template to mark your fabric for quilting and then cut around each piece with your sharp fabric scissors. You will also find that it is pretty easy and fast to cut your fabric using a rotary cutter. The tool looks like a pizza cutter and has to be used with a self-healing mat and a see-through ruler. For more step-by-step instructions and tips on cutting fabrics go to home.howstuffworks.com/cutting-fabric-for-quilts.
