Description
It's a winning combination - the ease of rotary methods partnered with the appeal of traditional bed quilt designs. Your next quilt cover story begins on location in New Zealand. There the author has developed an international shorthand to help those who are making the quilts destined to become tomorrow's heirlooms. Designed to spark creativity, this book offers breakthrough understanding - and mastery - of quilt units. Each of nearly two dozen stunning quilts in the projects sections is made using simple squares and triangles. AUTHORBIO: Joyce Jones' first step into the quilting world was taking a class on how to make templates and do English paper piecing. But the idea of making a quilt was put into her 'too hard' basket for a number of years. Later, when Joyce wanted to make a quilt for her son, she turned to a self-taught quilter, Eileen Haycock, who taught her everything needed to make that first quilt. Joyce's continuing desire to find easier ways to do things led her to begin teaching the methods in this book. REVIEW: The Midwest Book Review says, "Joyce Jones' Uncovering Traditional Quilts provides piecing tips and techniques, showing how to explore combinations of piecing techniques and how to use squares and rectangles to easy advantage. A recommended pick for avid quilters." - from Amzon
