About this title

Synopsis

Quilters love decorating their homes and making small projects that can be completed quickly, and this collection of tabletop quilts caters to both these factors. Reflecting whimsical as well as traditional looks, more than 20 quilts are sized and designed especially for use in the kitchen, on the patio, and on accent tables throughout the home. The patterns are organized by the seasons of the year, showcasing vibrant flowers, soft scrappy looks, cheery holiday themes, traditional stars, and other favorites chosen from issues of Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting magazine. They reflect a wide range of styles, from patchwork and applique to wool felt folk art. Each quilt is shown in a lifestyle photograph and an assembly diagram, accompanied by a complete materials list and step-by-step instructions.
