Planing

           Make sure when you decide on a quilt pattern to take your time and plan the length and width carefully.and make sure you have enough fabric to finish your quilt,if you have a color wheel it will help you match you colors .
           Before you make your first cut be sure to wash your fabric to shrink it don't dry your fabric completely take your fabric out of the dryer damp and use a dry iron to press it out.
            Make sure your hands and the area your laying you fabric on is clean this will protect your pattern pices from spots ending up in your finished quilt.
             I am have a problem getting a new cord for my camera,soon i hope to show you different quilt  patterns.

Quilts

  If  you have hand made quilts  handle with care don't wash them unless they are real dirty if you must use a gentiel   shop wash on gentile cycle.

   Some quilts you might want to insure,quilt value can be appraised .
    When you store your quilts warp the in non acid paper and store them in a clean storage container, ceder  chest is best .

pucker-free applique

  I like  to make appliqued quilts ,i find they are the easiest to master but some time you can have a pucker and there is away to have a pucker free applique place stabilizer beneath the foundation or if you are hand appliqueing put the stabilizer under your pattern piece that your going to attach to your foundation then do your applique with out worry. 
 I hope this helps the beginner or the seasoned sew-er.
