Quilts are made in many ways and it is important to firstly figure out a number of finishings your quilt can have. You need to note what it will be used for, the personality of the individual and room it is assigned for, where the quilt will be located. Color scheme is a very important part of this. It must fit in the specific design of the area. You need to think about the style of a product you are planning to make. See over your surroundings for ideas and inspiration. For instance if you live in the city you could use people, houses and unique buildings, and if you live in the country you could use valleys, trees and flowers. Try on some concepts, you may apply colored pencils to picture to yourself what colors you can use. You may use graph paper if you aren't good enough in drawing straight lines, and look to magazines, books and the internet to see the works of other people if you need some more inspiration.
