If you are a seamstress, a quilt you've made from scraps of clothing your family has worn becomes very sentimental to you. I buy scraps of fabric bundled together when I go thrift shopping.

Almost anyone can make a simple quilt of plain squares. Most quilts look good, no matter how simple. You don't have to have special equipment to put it together. You can buy some fabric for the back on sale or use a sheet. Batting can also be purchased on sale or you can use an old blanket between the layers. A blanket will make it warmer and thicker. Pin it to your floor, and take some yarn and tie the layers together.

Fabric, blankets, yarn and sheets can all be purchased used if you don't have them, although fabric stores often sell fabric at huge discounts. If you buy used fabric, wash it and add a little bleach, and it should be fine. The only thing I'm careful about is smell. If anything has an odor, musty or smoky, I won't buy it.

The hardest part for beginners in making a quilt will be putting on the binding. There are several different ways to do it. Some of them are easier than others.

I had a roommate in college that did a quilt out of material out of fabric that she tie-dyed Some people make them out of old denim. You can appliqué on some of the squares, put on trims, paint or stencil them with fabric paint, and so on. Some people even put family pictures on the fabric and make their quilt like a photo album.

If you're thinking of making a project this year, think about making a quilt. If you move you can take it with you.
