We already admire our former cover girls talent and creativity, and just knew wed love the designs in her new book, but we are gratified to find theres so much more. This is no quick-flip! Its a hearty tome, full of personal, poignant stories. Victoria writes: In this bookwe will look at a traditional platform to begin with and see how we can push the limits, place a bit more of ourselves into the quilt, add our story, and push our skills into a new realm, while making personal connections that relate to our past. We cant put it better than that! The books 13 quilts build upon each other in a way thats clearly explained and invite our creative selves to come out and play, to be challenged, to look at fabric or pattern through the lenses of our own lives and memories.
This is creative dynamite, blowing up preconceived ideas of what a pattern should look like. You need this book in your library, friend!

What if? That is the question posed by author and quilt artist Victoria Findlay
Wolfe in her book Double Wedding Ring Quilts Traditions Made Modern. What
if is the question anyone wanting to strike out on their own and create their own
designs should ask themselves. What if I take a traditional block like the Double Wedding
ring and cut it into different pieces? What if I create my own fabric from scraps?
What if I just change one thing? You may not want to start out making a Double Wedding
Ring quilt but you will certainly learn ways to step out of your box with Victorias
15 Minutes of Play exercise. I found this book full of creative inspirationsteps
you can take to change the way you look at and think of quilt designing. There are 13
projects in the book all working back to the Double Wedding Ring block but all created
using different methods for a very modern take on a traditional block. Paper piecing,
sewing curves and fabric slashing to create your own Made-Fabric are some of
the techniques taught in this book. Instructions are clearly written and color photos
abound. The included patterns are printed at 100% so no need to resize.
