learn to sew a patchwork quilt

Here’s a nifty project for novice stitchers: the Learn to Sew a Patchwork Quilt Kit by Purl Soho has got almost all the doodads you need to complete a quaint and colourful knee blanket, saving you from wandering loop-de-loop around a fabric store to hunt down all the right supplies.

If your sewing skills are a little more advanced (and you happen to have some spare material on hand) you can download the instruction booklet without all the extra niceties. Otherwise, the kit comes in four different colour combinations and is available right here.
