Alice's Wonderland Sampler Quilt: 100 Quilt Blocks to Improve Your Sewing Skills

by Alice Caroline

The exquisite Alice's Wonderland Quilt combines a variety of quilting techniques in one stunning sampler quilt which features 100 blocks. Using a variety of machine and hand-sewn techniques, this quilt will improve your sewing skills.

Gorgeous patchwork designs such as square-in-a-square, checkerboard, log cabin and Ohio Star combine with beautiful English paper-pieced blocks and raw edge applique animals, flowers, butterflies, hearts and stars.

Starting with the simplest patchwork techniques and building from there, you will learn one or two basic techniques across ten different blocks, each one creating completely different patterns simply by using new arrangements and placements. Full sized EPP and applique templates, including Alice's hand-drawn designs, are provided. Each block forms a 6-inch square which then joins together at the end with the other blocks to make the finished quilt comprising of 100 beautiful blocks.

After you have made your main blocks, the stunning rainbow border of the quilt is added. It includes a double rainbow border, an ivory border, and a further square-in-a-square rainbow border using prints from the main quilt to tie the whole colour scheme together.

Featuring step-by-step illustrations for all the techniques and full-size templates, this stunning sampler quilt will build your skills and leave you with a treasured heirloom to pass on down the generations.

Chosen by random # reading, #1173. Fun book all about skill-building, specifically focusing on Liberty fabrics (but of course could use any fabric line). Just made my very first Liberty fabric purchase (love!!) so looking forward to applying some of the skills in this book in my next project! 🥰

What a lovely yummy book. This would make the perfect gift for a new quilter or an experienced one. Through the journey of creating the 100 blocks - starting from the simplest though-the more complex, the quilter will learn new techniques and end with a solid foundation. The book covers everything from simple four patch, to curves, to English paper piecing and appliqués . The photographs are very helpful and instructions very clear. highly recommend .

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. (via Edelweiss+)

I'm definitely a beginner to quilting this book seemed easy enough to follow to me. There are a wide variety of patterns/options and I thought the fabric fun facts were neat.

Ms. Caroline has provided all the blocks from her original sew along in a beautiful, easy to follow book. Each blocks has excellent directions and color diagrams, allowing the artist to create their own versions easily.

I’ll most likely not make the entire quilt but it’s a dreamy book to peruse and will be a great reference book.

This is a really beautiful book. Even if I never make any of the quilt blocks I still love this book! There are 100 patterns for quilt blocks, moving from easiest to more difficult. The patterns include step by step photos and very easy to follow measurements. The fabrics used are gorgeous. It's a book I'll come back to time and time again.
