Each of the techniques is shown in clear step-by-step photographs with concise instructions, and is followed by a project so the reader can build up skills as progress is made through the book. Each project is illustrated with clear and colourful diagrams. A whole range of delightful patchwork quilts for the home can be made following the techniques explained, from a simple baby's cot quilt to an eye-catching throw or a colourful and cosy cushion quilt. All are made in clear, light, fresh fabrics in 100 per cent cotton. Not only does this book teach new skills, it also provides projects for fabulous quilts to display in contemporary homes.
