A Batch of Patchwork: Beyond the Quilting Bee : 12 Easy Quilts to Make With Friends

Traditional patterns, rotary techniques, quick and easy instructions are perfect for individuals or groups making quilts for charities or friends. With this new assembly line method, quilts are quickly produced using easy-to-follow instructions and assignments to enable three quilters to produce three quilts ready to tie or quilt, in just three days! The authors have also included menus along with recipes, to keep the energy levels high. Designs such as Pinwheel, Rail Fence, Amish Shadow, and Pieces of Eight are among the 12 traditional designs included.

This book includes, of all things, recipes, harking back to a time when quilting was a social event. The simple, step-by-step sewing and construction instructions, which include helpful diagrams, are sound, basic, and good for the beginner. Unfortunately, the photos tend to be murky and undistinguished, and the color choices and photos of each of the 12 project quilts uninspired. Recommended for larger collections.?KE
