December 2015
The 13 quilts start with a ready-made pre-cut packs but add extra fabric to make a unique colour selection. Most of the quilts have traditional repeated blocks but occasional quilts use asymmetrical layouts to create a bold design. Some blocks are made larger than necessary and then cut to size. It is advised to spray starch bias edges before cutting to prevent stretching. The instructions and the diagrams are easy to follow. There are ideas for enlarging the quilts with extra borders. A gallery shows the quilts with different colour combinations.
October 2015 Put your hands up if you have a Jelly Roll sitting on a shelf that you loved in the shop but have never got round to using, or a charm pack that you couldn't leave behind but isn't quite enough fabric for any of your projects? We also can't leave out anyone with fat quarters, a ruler and a rotary cutter at the ready! This is a book that provides lots of quilt designs that could help you use up some of your stash. As well as the projects the authors offer advice on how to combine colours and patterns to make your precuts go further when you can no longer buy additional fabric from the same collection. Once you have found your complementary, notice not matching fabric there is a useful chapter on increasing the size of your quilt by adding borders. The final chapter is a gallery of quilts based on designs from the book, my personal favourite is the Dance Party design.
