Editorial Reviews

If you always thought of stripes only of bindings, think again! The 12 projects in this book (each in three sizes) will open your mind to new opportunities and the creative use of all kinds of stripes—from bold symmetrical repeats to fun chevrons. Creative cutting and piecing can create what looks to be complex designs, when in fact the stripe patterns fool the eye. You'll want to offer a class just on stripes, so stock up.
