| Summary: | "Do you ever find yourself time-poor when it comes to quilting? You'd love to make gorgeous handmade quilts, but there just never seems to be enough hours in the day. Sound familiar? Australian quilter and popular blogger Siobhan Rogers heard this time and again from her quilting and students too. Wanting to answer the need for quilt patterns that have great style but don't require a huge time commitment, she's designed a stunning collection of quilts stitched with efficiency in her first book, By the Block. In By the Block, you'll learn how quick cutting and simple piecing, mixed with just the right fabric choices, leads to quilts that look complex but are actually easy-to-assemble. The 18 unique quilts featured range in size from a wall hanging to king-sized quilt and are divided into chapters based on traditional block styles including squares, half-square triangle (HSTs), crosses, triangles, log cabin, and curved blocks. Each pattern for these striking modern quilts is fully illustrated with step by step instructions, making them perfect for beginner quilters. If you're a more experienced quilter, you'll appreciate the uniqueness of the designs and great tips and tricks shared throughout."--From publisher's website. |
