Quilting and Patchwork

Needlework Quilts

by Mary Emma Allen on October 23rd, 2006

The bedcoverings we refer to as quilts need not be solely patchwork or applique.  Some quilts are created from needlework panels or squares.  These are easy to tote projects you can work on away from home, while traveling, in a waiting room, in a car, at youngsters’ ball games.

You’ll find a multitude of designs…floral, pictorial, historical, Sunbonnet Sue, animals, state capitals and more…to embroider or do as cross stitch. I was browsing thorough a needlework catalog and came across so many interesting designs for quilts.

 When you’ve finished the desired number, sew them together with sashing, then select a batting and backing.  You can tie the quilt at the corners of the blocks or use quilting stitches, particularly in the sashing.

Embroidered quilts also are ideal to make for babies, children or their dolls.
