In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: These could be from your other sewing projects, old dresses, or fabrics from family and friends. Save these for your patchwork quilt. Depending on your tastes, these could be all of one uniform size or of varying sizes and shapes. Think of how the pieces would form into a whole. Try to have at least 6 different patterns. Look through the Internet (Google Books is a good place to start) and craft books for a pattern that suits your interests or create your own by deciding what you want your quilt to look like. Quilt designs take small pieces of fabric and create a collage look of one part of the blueprint of one design. The pieces are generally no smaller than a 2-inch (5.08 cm) square and may be much larger, depending upon your chosen design. Then, cut out pieces of fabric that will provide the colors and patterns you need. A good pair of scissors will be of great use here.  Make sure to allot for a 1/4" (1.25 cm) seam allowance on all sides. If you want 2" squares, make your squares 2.5" on all sides. Of course, you don't have to use squares. Rectangles and triangles will work, too.  Form your pattern on the floor. It's a lot easier to arrange your quilt when it's not sewn together. Arrange the pieces in the exact order you want them. In addition to seeing how the colors fit together, you'll see how big your quilt is and if you're happy with the size.
Summary: Accumulate scraps of fabric. Find a pattern. Settle on the quilt pattern you want to use.

Problem: Article: Take the hoodie that fits too snugly around your neck and lay it flat so the neckline isn't bunched up at all. Try to work on a table or counter instead of a bed so you don't accidentally cut into your bedspread. Pull the front of the hoodie in opposite directions so you can easily see where the 2 sides of the neckline meet. The 2 fabric layers will meet in a V-shaped point. Use a sharp pair of scissors to cut a slit in between the 2 layers of fabric. Make the slit go in the same direction as the upper layer of fabric so the cut isn't noticeable. Pull the hoodie on and decide if the neckline is comfortable. If it's still too tight, extend the slit you cut by another 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) and try the hoodie on again. For a rugged look, use your hands to tear the slit more instead of cutting it.
Summary:
Lay the hoodie on a flat surface. Use your fingers to spread apart the neckline where the 2 layers meet. Cut a diagonal 1 inch (2.5 cm) slit where the edges meet. Try on the hoodie to see if the neckline is as loose as you'd like.
