Is it possible that I can make an applique quilt for less than the $200.00+ prices I'm seeing?!?

I applaud the work that goes into a quilt but good grief!I'd rather make it myself and save! I was wanting to know from more experienced quilters if I can make a twin size applique quilt for my kids' beds for less than the prices I'm seeing for just one quilt! (Even if it takes me awhile and tons of work)
Answer:

Yes http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/techniques/basics/index.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ljl_O2aOT1M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9efLUOdIoCY&feature=endscreen&NR=1 Do look for coupons and sales on products like batting..I recommend using a good quality batting. http://www.warmcompany.com/wnpage.html Look for how to roll and fold quilt while sewing its not to hard actually just learning process. Some of us roll it and lay it over our shoulder while sewing on the machine.

Yes. You can use recycled clothing for the material. My SIL used to do this all the time and she made some very nice quilts.

YOu can make it for less, but you are going to be putting in hours and hours of time sewing it. Handling that much fabric is going to be difficult for anyone who is not an experience sewers. A hand made twin size quilt for $200 is very reasonable considering the amount of time put in to making it and the cost of materials. Not only does it take a lot of time and work, it takes talent. Quilting is an art form, and craft to be learned. You can find quilting books at your public library. Good quilting cotton is going to cost about $6 to $7 a yard. plus batting. http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog/category.jsp?_DARGS=/joann/catalog/categoryleftnav.jsp.19_A&_DAV=fullPath&_dynSessConf=8534506402360607420&categoryExpand=true&CATID=cat3162&supercatId=cat2699&allProducts=&categoryName=novelty+quilt+fabric&categoryfullPath=all+products////product+home////fabric////quilting+fabric+%26+kits////novelty+quilt+fabric&narrowSelection=false&subCatName=novelty+quilt+fabric&categoryPage=categoryPage
