Here are designs reminiscent of a country picnic, the bold lines of Matisse, vintage Swedish embroidery, the Ndebele women of Pretoria, the western Australian landscape. They''re quilts made with Welsh wool, silk, linen, cotton, and velvet-a celebration of texture, color, and style. Features: Twenty quilts ranging in difficulty from award-winning designers in the U.S., Australia, Japan, South Africa, and the U.K. Step-by-step instructions, full-color photos, and templates for each quilt Comprehensive tools and materials sections Sewing skills and stitches directory Complete piecing and finishing instruction, by hand and machine Annotation: Often, the notion of a handmade quilt brings to mind a very traditional, calico-patterned affair, reminiscent of a by-gone era.
