The Weekend Quilter

Taking their inspiration from the countryside in all seasons and at different times of the day, five expert quilt makers have produced a wonderfully diverse collection of bed quilts, cot quilts, throws and wall hangings - all to make in a weekend.;The quilts all make use of the two most important aids to speedy cutting and assembly: the rotary cutter and the sewing machine. Quick methods are also introduced such as bonded applique and strip piecing for the making-up and quilt-as-you-go, tying and big stitch quilting for the finishing. All techniques are explained in detail and each of the 26 quilts is illustrated with clear and helpful diagrams.;Using a wide range of fabrics including cottons, silks, flannels and felts, these patchwork quilts will make both useful and beautiful decorations for the home.
