How do quilters make their patterns?
Quilters may make a full-size pattern using someone else’s quilt or trace a pattern from a book. Some quilters draw their own quilt designs on plain or graph paper. Later they copy the pieces of these designs on a stiffer material to make templates. Templates are the patterns quilters trace around to mark fabrics for cutting. Templates can be made out of cardboard, heavy paper like file folders, or thin plastic.
