someone ever had the patience to
sit down and finish it, but women
who do a lot of quilting will tell you
there’s lots of satisfaction in mak
ing one.
In the first place, a well-made and
pretty quilt is an asset to the sim
plest bedroom. It may form the
focal point of the whole room and
set the theme. Then, too, quilts do
not wear out readily if they are well
constructed, and we have the satis
faction of looking at them for years
to come. •
And last, but by no means least,
there are so many good looking
pieces of material that find their
way into the rag bag, it’s a shame
not to use them for something so
permanently lovely as a quilt. Dig
(hem out. and let’s see just what
you can do.
Before making a quilt, decide on
what type you want to have. The
traditional English quilt has a layer
of padding between two pieces of
fabric. All three are held in place
by tiny stitches in close or open de
signs that form puffs of fabric.
If you follow the Italian tradition
of quilt making, you will not use
padding until fabric and lining are
completed. A heavy padding yarn
is then run between the two layers
of the design.
Quilting frequently is done by
machine these days, as the work
goes faster, naturally. However, if
you prefer, the background may be
machine-stitched and the design
Worked by hand. One often sees
straight rows of stitching, or stitch
ing spaced in squares, lattice, trellis
or sunburst effects.
For machine quilting straight
lines are most desirable. The pres
sure foot or the cording foot may
be used for straight lines or for
curved designs.
Fabrics Unlimited
For Quilts
Any type of material may be used
for quilts. If you are making some
thing for summer, it would be best
to work in cotton, as these make
beautiful quilts. White sheeting or
muslin may be used as the basic
fabric and color introduced in the

Quilting Procedure
Easy to Follow
Before you can attach your ma
terial to the quilting frame, decide
upon your fabric and design. Here's
the way you work from there:
Trace the design of the pattern on
the outside of the fabric if you are
going to use backstitch. If you are
going to work on the back of the lin
ing, use backstitch.
Now it’s time to lay out the fabric,
lining and padding. These may be
placed on a large table or on the
floor. The lining and padding are
not sewed together, but rather are
held in place by the tacking. The
edges should be pinned all the way
around and set in the frame. If a
frame is not used, the edges are
pinned and basted.
The fabric, lining and interlining
should not be allowed to slip. The
