Learn How to Make a Bicycle Quilt Using Free Patterns

A typical bicycle quilt pattern consists of seven blocks that are all constructed from a single fabric piece. The blocks are constructed from a fabric that has the same texture and color as the main fabric that is used in the quilting process, which can be cotton or a polyester/cotton blend. The blocks are positioned so they can all easily be sewn together with a machine quilting needle. Many patterns for this type of quilt use only three blocks, called a zigzag, to complete the quilt. If more than three blocks are needed, it is usually done through a double-sided quilting process in which each block is placed into two adjoining fabric pieces so that they can easily be joined with a sewing machine quilting needle.

To begin creating a quilt using a bicycle quilt pattern you will need a very good set of fabric and an embroidery hoop. You should also have the necessary tools such as a straight-stitch quilting machine, a measuring tape, a measuring cup and a block cutter. You will also need a batting or a piece of cardboard that is slightly larger than your quilt size. Once you have all of these materials and your machine ready, you can begin to follow the basic quilting steps. Following the instructions in your quilting documentation will ensure that you create a beautiful quilt that is well-made and beautiful in appearance.
