Understanding a Quilt 

In simpler terms, we can state a quilt as a decorative textile that is often used as a bedsheet or bedspread. It consists of three layers of fabric and is made by the process called quilting. It can be handmade or stitched with the support of machines. The stitching patterns and the creative designs applied by the weaver decide the uniqueness and beauty of each quilt. There are different varieties of quilts available in the market, and they differ from one to another in shapes, sizes, designs and colours. Apart from their use as a bedspread, based on their size, they are used as throw blankets, wall decoratives, etc. Practising drawing and colouring the following images will help children attain a better understanding of quilts.

Easy Quilt Drawing for Kids

There are some simple drawing techniques applied by artists to make their drawings stand unique from that of others. Here, we have mentioned some of the ideas to complete the quilt drawing process in its simplest and finest form. Kids can easily go through these ideas and implement them. 

• Collect the necessary materials for sketching the image of a quilt. A paper, pencil, eraser, black marker, and colouring supplies are enough to complete the portrait of a beautiful quilt. 
• Since it is one of the inceptive learning processes of kids, the possibility of errors is high. Ask them to outline the image of the quilt using a pencil. Support them and let them understand and learn from their mistakes. 
• Sketching the image with a pencil will offer them a chance to redraw and improve the precision of their drawings. 
• Kids can use a simple wavy line to sketch the outline of the quilt. Arrange the lines in such a way that the fabric is flying in the wind. Remember that this piece of cloth has four sides and arrange them accordingly. 
• To resemble the layers of the fabric, add two more outlines inside the outer outline. 
• Children can mark their creativity in the middle part of the fabric. They can layer the drawing by sketching any of their favourite patterns. 
• They can use a jumbo dot, stripes, multiple-slanted stripes, damask, floral, geometric, imperial, lattice, stars, or swirl designs etc., to design their quilts. 
• Filling the quilt drawing with the right set of colours is one of the most crucial parts of this drawing exercise.
