How does a beginner make a quilt? Is there any hope for me?
Try to find beginners classes near you or buy a book which might help answer any questions you might have. Unless you are good at hand sewing, make it with a machine, its a bit easier and the stitching will last longer. You could try by just getting two pieces of fabric and a piece of wadding (batting) and sew it all together. Or you could start with a pre printed piece of fabric. Baby quilts are good to start with and if you give this as a gift most people think it is great even if it is simple. Just relax and enjoy. Also there is loads of help on the web. But start small and then you can see how you feel about quilting and also not feel it will take you forever.
