Stress-free piecing
I had just one thought while reading this book. These quilts would make some stunning backgrounds for an applique quilt. Author Amy Walsh says "when you make a quilt in which the piecing does not give you angst, you are free to explore many possibilities with color, different types of fabrics and prints, different block sizes and layouts, and so on." The first part of the book is dedicated to choosing the right colors, fabrics and designing the block settings. There are 10 fun projects in the book that will inspire you to follow along step-by-step or just jump right in and create your own designs. You will enjoy the stress-free piecing and easy construction with squares, rectangles and stripes. Learn to alter a pattern by resizing the blocks, trying a different setting or changing the color palette. Quiltmaking basics are also covered toward the end of the book.
