Description
Book SynopsisGive simple quilt blocks a touch of magic - the add-a-strip way! Slice into basic shapes like squares, triangles and diamonds. Then piece in a 1" strip of contrasting fabric to create dozens of new designs! Quilters of all skill levels can piece geometric patterns that look complex thanks to this innovative technique. Each of the ten quilt patterns comes with a second variation to inspire your colour choices, plus great ideas for sashing, resizing blocks and adding your personal touch.
Trade ReviewThis is a great idea to make simple quilts look more complex. Basic blocks are sliced, a strip is added and magic happens. There are 10 designs to choose from, plus 20 variations. These simple techniques have endless possibilities. Often quilts look complicated until you understand how they are made. This book transforms simple designs into dynamic quilts. You'll find everything you need to know - cutting, slicing, piecing, finishing. Each quilt pattern has a main photo, block size and finished quilt size, materials, cutting, construction, a large layout diagram and alternative designs. Finishing and binding techniques are given at the back of the book along with templates. A superb way to make simple design shine.
