May 2012 Pre-cut fabric packs are immensely popular among quilters; this isthe first book to combine two or more pre-cut sizes in one quilt

Perfect for a range of skill levels, with 15+ projects in a variety of

sizes from wall hangings to bed quilts

Projects incorporate techniques not commonly used in pre-cut

quilts like appliqu and paper piecing

Instead of being restricted by fabric cut to just one size, readers can

mix and match strips, triangles and squares, and will even learn to use

fat quarter bundles in new ways by cutting them into standard pre-

cut sizes. Quilters will learn about coordinating pre-cut bundles in

different colorways and from different fabric manufacturers and will

explore techniques rarely found in pre-cut quilts, like appliqu and

paper piecing. Plus, easy fabric-requirement formulas will enable quilters to combine jelly rolls, layer

cakes, turnovers, stash stacks, dessert rolls and more into inventive projects theyll love.

A valuable repository of key artistic concepts and skill-building

instruction that will appeal to artists and enthusiasts working in

both paper and fabric

The artists journal is not only a great place to start a library of personal marks,

doodles and ideas, but also a forum to experiment with ideas for projects that

ultimately move beyond the journal page. Here, the reader is encouraged to

experiment and play in the journal, while also learning step-by-step techniques

for working in a variety of media. Readers explore techniques, organize their

memories and create a personal visual language, thus gaining confidence to

develop their ideas into tangible works of art.
