NEW LADIES ART COMPANY QUICK & EASY BLOC Format: Paperback

The ultimate no-math reference for quilters!

Now in an easy-to-use reference guide size, this updated block tool includes 110 authentic blocks from America’s first mail-order pattern company, the Ladies’ Art Company. Each block has instructions for 5 sizes, design details, construction diagrams, inspiration blocks, and even a project! The projects will be a breeze with helpful design hints specific to each block, including pairing them with plain alternate blocks, creating secondary patterns, and (with half of the blocks!) using precuts. Make the blocks your own with line drawings ready to fill in with your own colors, plus values-only blocks to spur your creativity, then fly through construction with easy rotary-cutting charts, yardage requirements, diagonal measurements, and more.

• Twice as much helpful information for each block, including reference tables, value layouts, line drawings, and project diagrams
• Cutting instructions at your fingertips, plus user-friendly instructions and a block index
• Exploded construction schematics to make sewing easier

Connie Chunn first found reprints of the Ladies' Art Company catalogs at a Kansas City Quilt Show. That discovery changed the direction of her life, and she has since spent more than ten years researching that company and their patterns.
