Quilter's Tips
Start with binding
Consider making your binding before you start on the quilt. Roll on a piece of pool noodle or cardboard toilet roll. When the quilt is ready, so are you!
Follow our Facebook page for Tips and Information - The Country Quilt Shop/Facebook.
Try this!
Cut the larger pieces first then cut the smaller ones from your fabric. It's logical, but doesn't always happen!
Get excited with us!
