Patchwork and quilting are often combined in the same project, but these two have different techniques. Patchwork is the skill of sewing together different fabrics to form a pattern. On the other hand, quilting is sewing together three layers that make up a quilt – the top, the central wadding, and the backing. These kinds of quilts are captivating to look at and exciting to create.
A patchwork quilt is such a great addition to your home. Let your entire family sleep comfortably especially during winter because of its thick materials. It also lasts long enough because of the high-quality materials needed to be used on the DIY project.

How to make a patchwork quilt?
Making one is really simple. Just follow these steps:
In assembling a patchwork quilt, you must first accumulate scraps of fabric. Try to gather at least 6 patterns.
Depending on your tastes, these could be of uniform size or of varying sizes. Then find a quilt pattern that will suit your interest. Start cutting the fabrics in square, rectangle, and triangle shapes. Allot ¼ seam allowance on all sides. Then arrange the pieces in the exact order to see if the colors fit together.
The next step involves creating your quilt. Sew the cut pieces together. Go strip by strip. Then press the quilt top with an iron. Flatten the seams so that quilt will have a straight look when done. Use single-fabric backing for your quilt. It needs to be 8 inches wider and longer than the finished quilt top. Lay the backing on the floor, the pretty side facing down.
Tape the top and bottom to the floor then continue with the sides.
It’s necessary to get this as smooth and wrinkle-free as possible, without tightly stretching the fabric. Once you are done with this, spray Quilter’s 505 liberally over the fabric. Smoothly lay the quilt batting over the top of the fabric. It will tend to hold creases from where it was folded. Spray an additional layer of 505 on the batting.
Place the quilt top next, face up. Flatten out any wrinkles, until the quilt top sits perfectly even. Pin the sections with a space of 6 inches apart.
Start pinning from the core going outward, in concentric circles. Any excess fabric is pushed to the outer part of the quilt to avoid bunching up toward the center. Once everything is pinned, remove the quilt from the floor. Start sewing it all together. Once the quilt is fully stitched, cut off the unwanted bits that exist around the edges.
Then the last step would be forming the binding.
Cut enough long strips to surround your quilt. These will form a smooth border around the edges of your quilt. The strips need to be a bit longer than your quilt to overlap on both sides. If you don’t have long strips, sew the short strips together to cover the length of the quilt.
Then align the binding strip with the top edge of the quilt and then pin along the long edge of the quilt. Sew from one end to the other. Carefully cut the excess binding off when you reach the end. The bottom of the binding must align perfectly with the bottom of the quilt. Repeat for the opposing side and the other two sides.
Final Thoughts and a Small Thing to Ask
Creating your own patchwork quilt is such a self-fulfilling accomplishment using your sewing machine. It will not only improve your patience, but you will also grow in your creative abilities each time you complete a quilting project. DIY projects are surely great way to keep you relaxed during your spare time.
