Shelley has simplified the intricate-looking traditional design by breaking it into easy-to-piece units, without a set-in seam or bias edge in sight. You won't be using templates or cutting angled pieces from strip sets, either. Instead, each of the eight designs begins with familiar stitch-and-flip units that are then sewn into blocks. Yes, blocks! From there, arrange blocks to create a variety of stellar designs that even a novice can complete with ease. If you can stitch on a marked line, you're ready to make these heavenly quilts! Intricate-looking designs reimagined with simplified piecing Everyone loves to stitch-and-flip These beginner-friendly blocks will make everyone feel at ease Customer Review: A wonderful addition to any quilter's library. There are eight beautiful contemporary projects with each having an alternative layout suggestion; one looks amazingly like old-world, Spanish mosaic tile. Just gorgeous! But most impressive is the unique manner of construction that avoids bias edges commonly experienced with star patterns. Very cleverly designed. Will look forward to more from this talented designer and quilter.

Download or read book The Improv Handbook for Modern Quilters written by Sherri Lynn Wood and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2015-04-28 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exciting new approach for beginning to advanced quilters who want to improvise on their own, with a friend, or with a community of fellow makers. Forget step-by-step instructions and copycat designs. In The Improv Handbook for Modern Quilters, Sherri Lynn Wood presents a flexible approach to quilting that breaks free of old paradigms. Instead of traditional instructions, she presents 10 frameworks (or scores) that create a guiding, but not limiting, structure. To help quilters gain confidence, Wood also offers detailed lessons for stitching techniques key to improvisation, design and spontaneity exercises, and lessons on color. Every quilt made from one of Wood’s scores will have common threads, but each one will look different because it reflects the maker’s unique interpretation. Featured throughout the book are Wood’s own quilts and a gallery of contributor works chosen from among the hundreds submitted when she invited volunteers to test her scores during the making of this groundbreaking work. “Wood offers a series of techniques, guidelines and lessons on color choice for those ready to explore improvisational quilting. Her book is loaded with full-color photos and examples to inspire.” —Dallas Morning News “Despite how it may “seam,” quilting isn’t all about rules! Quilting can be an exhilarating way to channel your creativity and express yourself. This book is focused more on exploration than explanation—a perfect mindset for beginners!” —Powell’s Books Staff Pick
