Summary: Home Sewn Quilts presents indispensable,
straightforward advice for both beginners and experienced quilt makers.
Throughout the book you'll find countless ideas and inspiration as well as
suggestions for tools and supplies, fabric selection, working with repurposed
materials, and specific information on cutting. Each project includes the
finished size, a materials list, cutting methods, and step-by-step instructions
accompanied by full-color photography and instructional line drawings. The book
begins with an extensive section on Patchworks and includes 18 scrap-friendly
projects for pillows, table runners, shopping bags, and more. The second part
moves into Quilt Making and presents six designs for simple bed-size quilts
using Four Square and Brick Wall blocks. The following chapter is for the
experienced quilter and presents seven designs using Clamshell blocks as well
as Grandmother's Flower Garden, Ohio Star, Jack in the Pulpit, Four Square, and
Log Cabin. Author Trine Bakke has included, at the back of the book, an
enormously helpful 14 page encyclopedia of quilt-making tips and tricks with
entries on hand and machine stitching, working with and without special
equipment, how to make templates, applying appliqué, embroidery, assembling the
quilt, and types of finishing. Everything is included to get you started whether
you're on your first project or looking for some fresh ideas.
Reader’s comments: Lots of different projects, with easy to understand
instructions. Great for beginners or those with more experience.
Recommended for anyone interested in quilting.
