如何制作拼布

缝制拼布需要事前规划；首先，缝纫者会挑选希望的图案花色，然后将织物剪成一片片，再将它们缝在一起，形成一个完整的设计样式；通常，较为小片的布料会被缝制成一大块或正方型，接着，再将这些方块缝成一大片，当做成品的表布；一旦表布的尺寸达到缝纫者想要的大小后，就可以使用框架将表布、填料及底布结合成一体。

Assembling a quilt requires some thinking ahead. First, a quilter selects a pattern and then cuts pieces of fabric and sews them together to form an overall design. Usually, smaller pieces of material are sewn together into larger blocks or squares, and then those blocks are stitched together to make the top layer of the quilt. Once the top layer is as big as the quilter wants, it's joined together with the padding and the bottom layer using a frame.
