Games and fun are what children all about. Add favorite cartoon characters and fun objects and children will spend hours competing trying to find colors, objects, letters, and numbers. Using these fun learning techniques can be combined into a novelty quilting fabric masterpiece, providing hours of fun for children.
To make the quilt, pick the colors and novelty materials. Pick lots of colors, and materials with shapes, characters, dolls, airplanes, toy cars, or pictures of clothing, beds. Pick things the child likes, and can identify with.
After choosing just the right fabric, beginning cutting pieces into square of five inches. Scrap material can also be used, carefully cutting into five inches. Now make the pattern by arranging pieces on a table, or flat surface. Fun pieces should be paired with a solid color next to it, and then another novelty piece. Lay the first row in this manner.
Next to that will be a solid, and next to the solid will be another colorful material. The second row of three patches will be a solid, a patterned piece, and another solid. The third row should be a novelty fabric on either end, and in the middle a solid.
Now that the design has been laid out on the table, pick up patch one and patch two to the far left of the first row. Pick them up with material wrong side out, and lay them on top of each other in this way. These will be the first two pieces sewn. Place them on the sewing machine and make a quarter inch seam. The next two patches of the next row will be sewn in same way, and followed by the far left two patches in the third row.
There are three patches still laying on the table. Put the pieces face side up on the table that were just sewn. Return to the sewing machine, and make a quarter inch seam with the machine. Now, take the next loose patch from the table, and lay it wrong side up on top of the next patch to be sewn at the sewing machine, and sew. Repeat for the final row and sew.
Remove from machine when finished, and with 9 patch attached by threads, iron. Now begin sewing the rows together. To make the seam turn one row on top of the next. The far left row should be folded over showing the wrong side of material. Sew a seam, one quarter inch. For last row repeat this. Once finished block should again be ironed.
Measure the nine block. Fourteen inches should be the measurement. Place a ruler, straight up and down the block, at the 7 inch marker. Cut in half. Place one of the cut pieces long way on the measuring board, and see that it measures at fourteen inches. Cut it in half. Do the same with the other half piece. Once cut, place the four pieces on the table in the original pattern. Flip each piece the opposite way. By doing this a whole new, colorful pattern is created for the quilt. Sew the four pieces together using previously described method. Create the rest of the quilt by using the same novelty quilting fabric block method.
