Beskrivning

Never before has there been a book for modern quilters celebrating the rich patterns and colours of the American Southwest. These 15 quilt patterns and three smaller projects are a graphic interpretation of all that this rich landscape provides. The simple piecing featuring a balanced use of negative space is designed to appeal to beginners and experienced quilters alike. Author Kristi Schroeder celebrates five separate regions, one in each chapter. Each quilt is photographed on location with an accompanying colour story to support the design. Included is a list of the author's favourite places to shop, eat and play in each location.
