Patchwork Quilts

Hi Mumsnet crafters,

I'm after some advice/inspiration. I usually crochet but I'm looking for a new hobby to try out.

I've always wanted to try make a patchwork quilt, but I don't have much experience in sewing and I don't own a sewing machine, which most of the tutorials use.

Is it possible to hand sew the pieces together? I was thinking of getting a fat quarters pack and practicing the running stitch. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance! 🌸

You can do paper piecing by hand which lets you do interesting shapes.

I would rather machine sew the actual quilting myself, and also the border.

Is there a maker space near you? In a library maybe?
