Quilt it?: Ideas and Inspiration for Patchwork and Applique by Barbara Chainey epub fb2 djvu

This book aims to answer the patchworker's most common question - how do I quilt it? It offers information and advice on various treatments and the best way to quilt a single block, or an entire quilt that has been pieced or appliqued. The guide features over 30 pieced and appliqued blocks, in such patterns as Double Wedding Ring, Attic Windows, Mariner's Compass and Grandmother's Fan, along with a collection of quilts, all with easy-to-follow suggestions for hand- or machine-quilting. The book covers: single blocks, with advice on directional pieced blocks and complex appliqued blocks; four blocks together, including making a new block at the centre and one point square at the centre; full-size quilts, showing block and space alternating edge to edge; and sashings and borders. Additional sections on tools, equipment and basic principles are also included.
