Editorial Reviews

How would you like to be able to make quilts that have no piecing or seams; that don't require any turning under of raw edges; that can be made using any colour or print; that allow you to readily audition fabric options before having to make a single cut; and, most importantly, look as sensational as the example shown on the cover of Anna Faustino's book? The terrific news is that the method is fairly straightforward–only some fiddly cutting if your design is intricate. Anna prvoides clear instructions for each step involved as well as patterns for 14 projects, graded from easiest to more challenging. The book also includes photographs of more gorgeous quilts to serve as inspiration–and before you know it, you'll be able to move to drawing your own designs: think Zentangling, for starters, clip art and variations of traditional patchwork patterns. Anna even shows how to make these quilts using personal photographs: you'll be able to immortalise your loved ones in glorious fabric art!
