Synopsis

Quilter and lecturer Gwen Marston introduces quilters to distinctive processes for creating original quilts. Without using templates or set patterns, Gwen guides the quiltmaker through each process, showing a way to work rather than actually dictating the destination. Over 100 beautiful and colorful quilts plus 150 illustrations are pictured in the book and the step-by-step instructions will serve as guides to help the quilter realize her own creative abilities. The adventure of Liberated Quiltmaking processes keeps the quilter engaged throughout the entire operation. These processes require using both intuition and emotion as well as technical skill. Discover true freedom to create your own quilt that is beautifully unique.

About this title

From Library Journal:

Unlike Balosky, Marston can claim master quiltmaker status, although it would probably never occur to her to do so. The author of 13 books on quilting, Marston has exhibited widely and has been a columnist for Lady's Circle Patchwork Quilts. Even more significantly, she has made 150 large quilts and more than 300 small quilts! Her "liberated quiltmaking" is the making of utility quilts (quilts meant to be used, not just exhibited) without templates or patterns or even necessarily a preplanned color scheme. When process becomes more important than pattern, the endless possibilities that arise during the combined planning/making process keep the quilter fully engaged. Highly recommended for subject collections.
