Overview

Perhaps one of the first examples of up-cycling, quilting is an age-old technique for turning scraps of fabric into something unique and useful. Today's quilts are more than just functional - they're fun! From exquisitely detailed works of art, to t-shirt quilts that pay homage to your favorite rock concert experiences, quilting touches all walks of life.

We want to see what you bring to the quilting table, so we teamed up with SINGER to bring you the SINGER Quilting Contest!

To enter, submit a Step By Step, Photo, or Video Instructable that relates to some aspect of quilting. Whether you want to show off your sewing technique or pattern-making, or fabric selection or anything else related to quilting, we want to see it!

So get going and show us what you can make. We can't wait to see what it is!
