Patchwork Comforters, Throws & Quilts Softcover

Focusing on patchwork style, this handy how-to presents 42 fun quilting projects for every occasion, from baby blankets, artistic quilts, and comforter shawls to foot warmers, throws, and bedspreads. Through step-by-step instructions, clear diagrams, and vivid photographs, the guide shows both beginners and experienced quilters how to create traditional designs with a modern twist. Starting off with a super easy project, each of the chapters—including Simple Comforts, Rolls & Squares, and Uncommon Quilts—caters to busy quilters looking to create quality pieces in minimal time. Mindful of both time and available resources, the instructional largely utilizes today's popular fabric cuts: 1.5-inch rolls, 2.5-inch rolls, 5-inch charms, and 10-inch squares. With several intermediate- and advanced-level designs, some of which feature both standard and 3-D appliqué, this lively tutorial is ideal for crafters seeking contemporary takes on classic quilts.
