Classic Quilts

Patchwork is one of the most satisfying and enduring of crafts; a pleasure for the sewing enthusiast to make and an endless source of delight for those who look and live with the results of their labour, be it a quilt for a bed, a wall hanging or a cushion. Patchwork quilting allows for great creativity and, when a quilt is handed down through generations, it rightly takes on heirloom status. This book of instructions for making 12 beautiful traditional quilts, both hand-stitched and machine-worked, is an essential source book. It includes fabric requirements, cutting details and sewing information and includes many of the most popular blocks and patterns. Appliqu. and other embellishments, piece work and crazy patch designs are all featured. Pattern sheets are included in a handy pocket at the back of the book.
