Indulge your passion for color and fabric with a smorgasbord of blocks to use in a quilt that's a visual feast. The fun begins with more than 100 beautiful quilt blocks that all finish at 6" square, making them perfect for using scraps and for easy mixing and matching. Whether you prefer traditional or modern, you'll find so much to love in the varied assortment of block designs. Susan Ache (you may know her as @yardgrl60 on Instagram) shares 50 expert tips throughout, plus step-by-step instructions for making half-square triangles, flying geese, stitch-and-flip corners, and more. Once your tantalizing blocks are stitched, arranging them in the stunning sampler quilt is sheer pleasure!
And now I want to make 106 blocks! The advice was fun to read, but the blocks gots me excited. I had worried that it might be above my skill level, …but there are only a few blocks (at first glance) that look a bit scary.
LOTS of quilt blocks! I think this book's purpose is to guide you through making this particular quilt pictured on the cover. I like the look of Susan Ache's quilts. You can tell she really loves patchwork!
This is a pattern book for a sampler quilt made of 100 6 inch blocks (finished). While I don't intend to make the sampler quilt, it does have lots of fun quilt blocks to try, including snail trail, which I was planning on using for a quilt. Nice to have the block and instructions instead of looking up the block, graphing it out, and coming up with my own instructions. Saves a lot of time.
