In this impressive collection, author Sue Voegtlin organizes the blocks in groups of 2 × 2, 3 × 3, 4 × 4, and 6 × 6 grids with instructions and math provided for 6-, 9- and 12-inch blocks.
This book is a block library that will be any quilter's go-to source for reference, inspiration, and instruction. With the exception of a few that were designed by the author, the block designs are all nearly 100 years old. Some designs are still sewn to this day, but many deserve new recognition and use by today's quilters.
A browser's delight, the four-color photography provides color and fabric-choice inspiration, and each block's evocative name recalls quilting's rich history.
Clear instructions and expert advice are provided along with exploded diagrams of each block that make construction a snap without special rulers. There are also tips on fabric selection, color choice, cutting pressing, and sewing.
The math is already done for you, as Sue provides accurate dimensions for each cut so you can easily size your blocks for 6-, 9-, or 12-inches.
Discover new blocks and mix and match them to create your next keepsake quilt!
