Overview

Author Sarah Thomas goes all in with this must-have quilting guide. This is not just a collection of 15 beautiful quilts to make, but also a course study on how to confidently choose fabric for multi-color and monotone designs. Sarah shares her approach to selecting a harmonious palate that achieves design strength through colour placement. She then goes on to explain how she uses color saturation and colour value to make the same quilt with alternate coloration. For example, her rainbow version of her Twinkle pattern takes on a patriotic feel when it's made with reds, creams, and blues. Filled with techniques that, in many cases, let the consumers choose their own preferences to achieve their own results, it also includes instruction for basic patchwork, curves, English and foundation paper piecing, plus appliqué options if paper piecing isn't your cup of tea. Quilt patterns include Blast Off, Double Dip, Eden, Fan Dancer, and Soft Serve. Improve your own quilting skills by learning from a master.
