Making a quilt from start to finish, especially at hand like the Chevron Quilt Tutorial, can take a long time. Be willing to spend time to finish it, or pay someone else to finalize it for you.
Synthetic fabrics, such as polyester and rayon, are more resistant and do not shatter. However, they do not "breathe" and are suffocating when used in blankets. It is best to use cotton for the entire quilt and make appliques and decorations with the synthetic fabrics.
If you use dressmaker's chalk to make markings, test on another fabric before as they can get irreversibly stained. Take breaks when sewing, especially if sewing by hand. You can hurt your back and hands if you sew too long.
