This is a great idea to make simple quilts look more complex. Basic blocks are sliced, a strip is added and magic happens. There are 10 designs to choose from, plus 20 variations. These simple techniques have endless possibilities. Often quilts look complicated until you understand how they are made. This book transforms simple designs into dynamic quilts. You'll find everything you need to know - cutting, slicing, piecing, finishing. Each quilt pattern has a main photo, block size and finished quilt size, materials, cutting, construction, a large layout diagram and alternative designs. Finishing and binding techniques are given at the back of the book along with templates. A superb way to make simple design shine.
