I want to make a cot quilt – where do I start?

You need to start with the fabric: some for the top, wadding for the middle and backing fabric; The wadding and backing fabric should be the same size as each other AND they should be larger than the top fabric, by approx 4" all the way round. Layer together with pins or tacking ready for quilting. see layer quilt and bind Click here: You need to quilt the sandwich either by hand or machine: if you plan to work by machine you have two options: free motion:  Jennie has a couple of workshops on the website - the first is free motion embroidery - but don't be put off by the title - it will help

and then the second is about free motion quilting: or using the walking foot.:  this is really easy to use as it is just another foot and just sews, but fitting it can be a bit of a trick, so here is some help:click here and then you can sew in straight lines or use simple wavy stitching as suggested by Valerie.

To sash or not to sash (your quilt)

I have just finished 12 blocks and i'm ready to put them together.
The question is 'to sash or not to sash'. Is there a rule?   Answer: Definitely personal choice but you might also be governed by how big you want the quilt to be;  and are you adding more borders?   In which the 1st outside sashing could be considered to be a border - see The First Sampler Quilt series if you want to know what I mean.
Also it depends on the block:  by putting them together do you get an interesting secondary pattern?   or are there more seams that need matching that you don't want?!?!?

First Sampler Quilt Finished!

Hurray I have just finished my quilt.  I love it.  For me it looks fabulous.  I know I can improve in stitch in the ditch and quilting but as you tell us practice makes perfect.
Thanks a lot for your tuition and guidance.  
Regards
Joyce   It's lovely Joyce and yes you will always improve with practice, but we never seem to stop learning or improving!   Its a journey that I hope you will continue to enjoy.
