I have been quilting for a couple of years. I do my own thing, mostly in a modern improv or kawandi style.
I am looking at purchasing a quilt pattern. Online, it is impossible to tell what is included. I can see pictures of the finished quilt and a list of required fabrics.
What else is included in a pattern?
Thanks!

Generally speaking it should be a cutting list and assembly instructions.

What Candleangie said, maybe some drawings if there is something unusual to do.

It may also suggest templates, rulers, etc. Also check out YouTube for the pattern and tutorial.

I have made a few Kawandi quilts like the one in that video. They are fun to do!
Now, I want to try something new.

A pattern will give you directions on how to make the quilt top.
A kit will include the pattern (instructions) and fabric for the top and possibly the binding. Very few kits include the backing.

May I please ask you to join the monthly craft thread. There are several quilters there, and hopefully you will be inspired to post pictures of your quilts. 😁
