If you're the kind of person who thinks: I don't like standing out from the crowd ... I wish I could be more like the cool kids ...
...My approach to quilting is an approach for true beginners. I don?t like triangles, circles, hexagons, diamonds, rhombuses, or any shape that makes measuring a chore. In this book, every project is designed using only squares & rectangles. Why? Because straight seams are easy to stitch! Craft a modern quilt with independent quilt-maker Boo Davis, whose fun, slightly quirky designs take quilts into new graphic territory. Using only simple shapes like rectangles & squares you?ll see robots, skulls, alarm clocks, & owls come to life as fabulous, full-size quilts. With 10 charming quilt patterns, & 12 eye-popping patchwork projects perfect for afternoon or weekend crafting, Dare to Be Square Quilting reinterprets quilt traditions such as basket weave, rail fence, & housetop designs in a bold new way. With advice on colour & fabric selection, & an extensive how-to section on quilting, Davis teaches the fastest, simplest, & most reliable methods modern quilting has to offer. Dare to make a quilt thats funny, fabulous, & from the heart... Dare to be square!
