by Laura Farson

"Create a bouquet of beautiful quilted flowers with 10 quick and easy techniques for flower petal quilt blocks that can be used to create quilts, lap robes, baby blankets, trivet covers and potholders - made entirely by sewing machine - without having to deal with curved piecing. Laura Farson presents instructions for 15 three-dimensional projects that include easy, intermediate and advanced techniques, attractive color choices and ease of design, all with beautiful results. The block construction used to create the flower petals is so simple that it's as easy as folding corners to the center. The first chapter provides basic skill instruction, but even those sample flower petals can be used as potholders or trivet covers. The projects appeal to sewers, crafters and quilters, with designs applicable to all seasons and for holiday decor."
