About this title

Synopsis

Do you think contemporary quilts are beautiful but too difficult for a novice to tackle? Think again. This book makes modern, graphic quilts accessible, both in technical and design terms, to both novice and experienced quilters. The Modern Quilts Workshop is more than just a pattern book. Through detailed step-by-step text and illustrations, even the reader with no prior knowledge of quilt making or design will be able to complete a beautiful and sophisticated quilt. Readers will be treated to both design theory and technical diagrams detailing every stage of the process. An introduction to design topics such as colour, scale, fabric selection and composition accompanies 15 original patterns for contemporary, functional quilts that can be used, machinewashed and dried. Illustrations will show how you can customise each of the quilts to a variety of colour palettes. Beautiful colour photographs make creating the quilt even easier and each pattern includes the fabric requirements and the technical and design skills that will be learned by making the quilt. The Modern Quilts Workshop also includes a reference guide for basic techniques used in each of the patterns, including cutting, piecing, aligning seams and thread colour selection.
