Utility-style : quilts for everyday living

Unlike show quilts, which often seem too precious to use, quilt pattern designer Holland's creations are for everyday use, with a focus on simplicity and easy piecing. The 12 projects in this book range in size from table runners and baby quilts to queen-size quilts, but most can be made larger or smaller by changing the number of blocks sewn. The cutting and -assembly instructions are straightforward and include diagrams for many of the steps. The simplicity of the piecing allows the quilting to shine, and Holland includes suggested machine-quilting designs for most of the items, as well as tutorials for hand quilting and hand-tying. VERDICT Quilters of all skill levels who are looking for unfussy designs and cozy comfort will be drawn to this collection. © Copyright 2018.
