Synopsis:

A fast, fun alternative to traditional quilting! Learn Larraine Scouler's clever methods for using the fabric on the backs of your quilts for quilting designs. Quilting "back to front" allows you to save time and add pizzazz to the most ordinary quilt top. *Exercises and dozens of full-color examples to teach you the ins and outs of back-to-front quilting. *Suitable for both hand and machine quilting. *Use decorative threads freely in the bobbin--they'll show up on the quilt front. *Larraine offers common-sense answers to questions such as how to audition fabrics, piece backs for continuous quilting, and connect isolated motifs.

Reviews: Such a simple idea; now why didn't I think of that? Instead of laboriously marking quilting patterns on quilt tops, Scouler backs her quilts with interestingly patterned fabric, turns the quilt over, and quilts it from the bottom, using designs on the backing fabric to quilt by. Here she teaches quilters at any skill level to master this technique by completing a series of graded exercises. Topics covered include choosing patterned fabric to reflect the theme of the quilt top and quilting back to front by hand or by machine. A top pick for public libraries and quilting collections.
