Description

Don’t let the name fool you, this book is a must-have  resource for every quilter’s library. Each chapter of this foundational resource offers three block patterns increasing in difficulty–easy, medium, and challenging– with the goal of learning a skill and then practicing various adaptions to improve your technique.

Chapters include every facet the dedicated quilter needs to know: half-square triangles, quarter-square triangles, Flying Geese, wonky piecing, improvisation, foundation paper piecing, curves, One-Patch blocks, applique, inset seams, hexies, and even the Compass and Feathered Star! Quilt finishing instructions are included as well. Make quilts both large and small with instructions given for numerous quilt designs using some or all of the 36 blocks.
