Tips to Make Your Own Crypto Quilts

A huge number of people love to make their own Crypto Quilts. It may be the gift they want most in life, especially during Christmas time. Of course it is not at all difficult to make them. You just need to have the right instructions and materials needed.

When you are going to make your own, you have to know what it is that you want to put inside it. First thing you have to do is to find some colorful, funky fabric. Quilt batting is an essential component for your quilt and to get the very best, you need to get the batting that is made up of wool or cotton. Bedding also comes in a variety of colors like pink, purple, green, blue, yellow and red.

Second thing you need to do is to buy some quality wool or cotton batting. There are lots of different batting available in the market. A few of the popular kinds are Calico Bedding, Palomino Bedding, Blue Bedding, Wheat and Wool Bedding. The price range for these batting ranges from $14.50 to $40.

Make sure that you get the proper size and width of the batting you are going to use for your own Crypto Quilt. It should be enough to cover the whole quilt. You should have enough for at least 2 layers. Once you purchase the batting, you can now start making your own Crypto Quilt.

You have to keep in mind that you have to weigh out the batting on a digital scale. If you don't have one, then you may have to go with weights that can be measured on a tape measure. Measurements are essential when making quilts.

For the quilt backing, you need to buy some super strong cardboard with hexagon shapes. This backing will be used to make the triangle where you insert the pieces to cover the walls of the box. The more hexagons you have, the stronger the material it will be.

After you purchase the backing, you should start off by cutting the two separate base strips of the backing. It can be cut into two layers. One will be thicker and another will be thin. You need to make sure that the thinner layer is cut in such a way that it will fit snugly on top of the thick layer.

The second step you need to do is to insert the hexagon base strips into the hexagon base strips you cut earlier. Make sure that you don't fasten it completely. Once this is done, you can now stitch the strip over the top. It should only be 1.5 inches below the top. After you are done with that, you can now cover the whole hexagon base strip with another piece of cardboard to ensure that it covers the base properly.
