365 Foundation Quilt Blocks

by Linda Causee, Rita Weiss (Producer)

It’s quiltmaking made as simple as paint-by-numbers! With a new method called foundation piecing, you just follow a numerical sequence to stitch fabric onto a foundation. Even the smallest pieces meet precisely, quickly, and accurately. With 365 projects, you could make one every day of the year. They’re organized month-by-month, so you could make a patriotic quilt with the July blocks; a Thanksgiving quilt in November; a Christmas quilt with the December blocks; or pretty floral quilts with each month’s flowers. (There are also some whimsical designs such as the yellow submarine that marks the day the Beatles came to America.) Photos of quilts made with blocks for each month accompany the complete instructions for the entire foundation piecing process.

From simple bows and log cabin blocks to highly detailed lily-of-the-valley and birds, this book is a treasure of block patterns. Blocks show numbered assembly, but basic knowledge of paper pieced quilting is required. All blocks in this book are done in the numbered paper piecing style.

Paper piecing at its finest. Cardinal is beautiful.

Has a nice range of patterns from simple to complex. Large colored pattens and pictures of a square done. Great organized index in the back. Very happy with this book.
