Microgreen quilts originated from the idea that it’s healthy to eat more greens. They are so small, they can easily be hidden in your normal tissue paper, and they are very forgiving of a spill if you don’t throw them away immediately. They are great for people who don’t know how to cook vegetables or who don’t have time to prepare their meals properly. They’re made to make your life easier by giving you extra time to do other things, and you can definitely use them in your home. There are five main ideas for planting microgreens in your garden or bedding area:
This is the simplest design. The microgreen quilts are basically aligned on a tray that is made of a microfiber material. If you use this type of quilt fabric, make sure that your tray is covered with plastic wrap. This is because it will keep the microgreen seeds from spilling onto the actual quilt itself. You can also try this design with two trays side-by-side instead of one, or one tray with three layers of micro green fabric instead of two.
Another simple design for planting microgreen quilts is the gamma quilt. The microgreen seed packets are placed in a gamma quilt design, which is like a large Terra cotta pot, except it has holes cut in all the right places. In a gamma quilt, you should also add some cardboard to cover up the holes in the design so that the seeds won’t fall through. Place the seeds in the bottom and then plant four small plants in the top, three each towards the back and one each in the front. You can also plant one to two tiny roses in the middle of the micro, green fabric.
Another idea for microgreen quilts is to plant two kinds of annuals together, one with sweet wheatgrass and one with spicy daikon radish. Place the seeds in separate containers and plant them next to each other in a wide ceramic bowl filled with potting soil. In no time at all, you will have two lovely plants that produce sprouts every year. This is a great way to save money and use your favorite perennial vegetable in your quilt designs.
If you want to create a more sophisticated look for quilts, then you can use a piece of clear plastic microfiber cloth that you have stored away. Place the cloth on top of a ceramic tray, add some water and let the cloth do the rest of the work. When it’s dry, you can use your microfiber fabric as a decorative, plain colored trim for your quilt design.
While many people are under the impression that microgreens are not very hardy plants, they actually are quite easy to take care of, provided you make sure you give them plenty of water and nutrition when needed. Microgreens will tolerate a certain amount of frost in the soil, so you don’t have to worry about freezing them. They are fairly drought friendly, too, so you won’t have to worry about supplemental watering during the dry summer months. This is a great choice for people who live in areas where water availability may be limited, but still want an easy, low maintenance vegetable for their quilts.
If you need a new quilt design, there are many templates that you can purchase online or at local quilting stores. You can find a template that will print on both sides and a template that only print on one side. These are perfect for quilts that have an odd shape or an unusual layout. You will also find templates with detailed stitching instructions. These quilting templates can help quilters who are new to the craft or those who haven’t finished a whole bunch of projects yet, so it’s good to have one laying around just in case.
If you are new to quilting or simply haven’t used a template before, you may want to purchase a quilt hanger that has several templates on it. It’s a good idea to make sure that your quilt hanger is able to handle heavier quilts since you will most likely want to put several extra quilts on it while you’re learning. Microgreen quilts can be a fun and easy project to make if you remember to plan ahead. A template is the first step, but before you get started, make sure to follow the instructions closely to make sure you have a great time making your new quilt.
