This fantastic new book from highly respected quilter and author Carolyn Forster gives you nine beautiful Layer Cake (pre-cut 10-inch square) quilt designs, made using a variety of patchworking and quilting styles. Also included are nine accompanying ‘gift’ projects, which range from bags and pincushions to needlebooks and coasters although you may find them just too good to give away! All the techniques you need are clearly explained at the beginning of the book with easy-to-follow step-by-step photography, and the instructions for putting together each quilt are illustrated for clarity. All the necessary templates are included at actual size.

Using pre-cut fabric packs takes the bulk of work out of quilt-piecing, leaving you to concentrate on the sewing. With this savvy approach, even beginners will be able to tackle the nine quilts here, made even easier by the comprehensive instructions. No scrap is left behind either, with nine smaller projects that you can quickly make and give as gifts.
Layer cakes are packs of pre-cut 10in (25.5cm) squares of fabrics, put together in beguiling combinations of colours and designs. Experienced quilter Carolyn presents eighteen gorgeous projects using layer cakes to make quilts and other items to keep or give as gifts. Following chapters covering the basics of tools and techniques, each project is shown in full colour with detailed instructions and trace-off templates where required. Using these pre-cut squares saves time and sewers of all abilities can achieve success making these inspiring projects that are both fast and fun. A useful addition to any sewers bookshelf.
A good book for newbies and skilled.
I received this book and it was everything I wanted and more!
