Want to start quilting

[Wheresmyshittingmeat]

Hi all. I would really like to have a go at making a baby cot quilt. I'm googling a lot but not coming up with much in the way of patterns. Pinterest is actually the worst as I click on one I like and there is nothing to see! Can anyone recommend some sites that have clear patterns? Many thanks.

I’ve made a couple of lovely quilts from The Quilt Room site, they do a good range of jelly roll quilts and kits too if you’re just starting out.

Thanks Running. Will have a look!

Try YouTube 😊

My library has a reasonable selection of quilting and patchwork books and I've had quite a few good books from The Works.

I’ve spent all morning down the rabbit hole that is Instagram. Try searching a few patchwork and quilt hashtags.
I found this pattern which is modern and simple.

Thanks Nanny and Chippy. That pattern is lovely. I like the stripy look. Found some good stuff on YouTube too.

I would go with a book pattern too.

Look at the following online/YouTube:
Missouri Star Quilt Company
Quilty (with Mary Fons)
Fat Quarter Shop

They all have really simple and easy to follow online tutorials. Missouri Star also has a free app. I started this way and within weeks was quilting away very confidently.
