Making an Art Quilt | Assembly (Part 1)

Follow along as I turn a simple sketch into an art quilt pattern! This art quilting technique is perfect for wall hangings, thank-you gifts, and one-of-a-kind designs where you can practice your embellishment techniques. You really can make an art quilt pattern all on your own from inspiration you see anywhere!

My inspiration photo came from a magazine. I just drew an outline of the part of the image that I wanted to quilt then traced it onto freezer paper to start cutting out my pattern. You can do the same with any inspiration photo. Then follow these steps as you start assembling and embellishing your art quilt.

Here are some of the supplies mentioned in this video:

Ceramic utility or Craft Knife (I used one from Slice)
Freezer Paper
Cutterpillar Glow Light Pad
Slice Pen Cutter
Iron
Misty Fuse (or other fusible adhesive)

Stay tuned for parts two and three as we finish up this beautiful Girl from Ipanema art quilt!
