Starting Guidlines

I want to mainly make quilts and wall hangings. I think wall hangings will be fun because it will be an easy and quick way to make something beautiful, and have more freedom for creativity and to be more artistic. I think it will also provide an easy way to try new methods and techniques, while not being stuck to them for a long process, as in a quilt.

A few basic guidelines (make sure to check the links on the side for all of the general guidelines that need to be followed with these projects):


Wall hangings:

• Size: 18" x 18" up to 40" x 40"
• include loops or grommets for hanging
• no words or letters, flags, religious or military themes
• small fabric bag basted to the back for nails (1" or 1.5")
• fabric patters recognizable by children in any culture
• everything needs to be washable

Quilts:

• Approximate Sizes: Crib: 45 x 60 in
• Single: 72 x 90 in
• Double: 90 x 90 in
• no denim or corduory
• tied or quilted
• pieced quilts must have 1/2 in seams 
• suggested  binding:  Pillow case method (esp. for tying w/o frames) or Roll Method (using the backing for binding as well.)
