Quilt Magic No Sew Wall Hanging


This is a picture of my completed Quilt Magic No Sew Wall Hanging.  I ordered this kit through Amazon simply because I needed the encouragement of being able to finish a craft project.  I have tons of craft and quilting supplies, but my life is so crazy and unpredictable that I can't seem to finish anything I start.  This kit comes with everything you need minus the iron, pins, scissors, serrated knife and dinner knife.  I was able to complete it within three days, and plan to give it as a birthday gift to my daughter to hang in her first grade classroom.

The directions are good, but not idiot-proof.  I read them multiple times but still managed to screw up right away by cutting up the wrong fabric, so make sure that you read everything, including the small print, and make sure you understand it before beginning the project.  I'm so used to having to do things the hard way that I didn't expect everything to be set up so well in advance.  The patterns are actually grouped by fabric.

Fortunately, they do supply you with enough fabric to allow for mistakes.  I was worried that I might have to find a substitute fabric because of my mistake, but that wasn't the case.  However, with that said, should you decide that you don't like the color scheme or print, you can always use your own.

This is basically a laser cut foam board that you tuck pieces of fabric into.  There's no sewing, no glue, no mess.  As with anything, there is a minor learning curve, but with a little practice you will find yourself motoring along in no time.
