Projects This is a
project book with a focus
on easy techniques and
low-cost materials; each

designs. It features
quilts made with simple
squares and rectangles,
and strip piecing, two
of the quickest and
easiest ways to assemble
quilts. Foolproof

than those found in most

comprehensive package.

colours and big florals
pieced together in
strips, and a Suits and
Ties Quilt reusing sober
woollen suiting

extravagant silk ties
with geometric squares
inspired by Gees Bend

and sandwiching to
binding, storage and
caring for your quilt.
Confidently armed with
all the design tools you
need, you can embark on
your own quilting journey

own personal quilting
masterpiece. ReviewJane
Brocket has a fun and
informal tone that puts
you at ease and inspires

little daunted by the
prospect of quilting.
