We Care Quilt
    Here is a very easy way to make a tied quilt with your family or friends.

    Materials:
    1 1/2 yds. and a bit of Cotton-blend material (Flannel is great)
    1 1/2 yds. Cotton-blend material
    (The bottom piece of material needs to be a bit larger than the top)
    A few yards of material and needle
    1 yard batting

    1) Lay the bottom of the quilt on the floor and place the batting on top.

    2) Place the top material on the top of the batting.

    3) Fold over the extra edging from the bottom piece of material.
    Tuck under the edge about 1/2" and pin all the way around the quilt.
    Sew all the way around with Sewing machine, or can be done by hand.

    4) Take needle and yarn and tie the quilt with knots.  Our diagram shows
    squares but this can be done on a large single piece of material also.
    This diagram just shows how to create the knots.

    To do this, go through top of quilt, to the bottom leaving a 2" tail on top,
    and making sure you go through all layers.  Bring needle and yarn back
    up to the top and cut off leaving a 2" tail. Tie these 2 tails into a square knot.

    Repeat this about every 4" all over quilt top.
