Quilts from Quarters

12 stunning quilt designs that you can make from both fat and long quarters, from international bestselling authors Pam and Nicky Lintott. Quilters love quarters, whether they are fat or long, and any self-respecting sewist will no doubt have a combination of both in their fabric stash. This book is a collection of fantastic designs you can make using both kinds of quarters. There are separate, clear and foolproof cutting instructions showing how to cut your fabric if you’re using either a fat or a long quarter. You can also use a combination of both in any of the quilts to really make the most of your fabric stash. There are large, step-by-step diagrams alongside the step instructions for piecing and constructing the quilts making this very accessible even for beginner quilters, and Pam and Nicky are known for their easy-to-follow quilt patterns. The quilts are all full-size bed quilts and the designs are contemporary classics that will lend themselves to lots of different fabric prints and colourways. As well as the 12 quilt patterns there is a large section about general patchwork techniques including which tools to use, the importance of getting the right seam allowance, chain piecing and how to add borders. There are also instructions for backing fabric requirements and how to bind your finished quilts.
