More than 100 designs for making your own heirloom quilts.
Quilting is one of the classis American art forms and Patchwork Quilt Patterns is a classic guide to this most creative and satisfying of crafts.
Quilting expert Maggie Malone offers page after page of information that will be invaluable to anyone who wants to create an exquisite patchwork quilt. The general quilting instructions will help you not only with the patterns provided in the book but also with any other quilt you may make.
The book includes a unique and completely original 16 page color coordinated index that shows every quilt in the book by color, so that you can see what it will look like in a given color - and get new ideas on how to use those fabrics you've been saving for something special. Each quilt is marked with the level of difficulty - so you can see at a glance whether you can handle it.
For each of the 115 full size patterns included here you will find a picture of the block; the yardage requirements for the quilt; and the block size and number of pieces per block (which will be especially helpful in case you want to change the size of the quilt). Further hints and suggestions are given to help make the quilting procedure easier and more enjoyable.
If a given pattern has more than one name, the additional names are included, as is any available information about a particular quilt's history as well as any legends that may be associated with the quilt.
Quilters at every level of skill - from those just learning how to cut, piece and sew to those already accomplished at turning out beautiful quilts treasured by family and friends - will find 'Patchwork Quilt Patterns' an invaluable reference and guide. It is the quilting book for anyone who wishes to join the ranks of those who have carried on and enlarged upon this beloved and most satisfying of traditions.

Original sewing projects, related by theme to seasonal headings, that utilize a variety of patchwork and quilting techniques. The projects were designed to be decorative but practical, to integrate constructions methods and materials with function, and to be worth the time they will take you to make.
A few of the projects qualify as quick and easy, a few are destined to be heirlooms, some have challenging aspects, but all are within the capabilities of anyone who enjoys a stitchery adventure, who can machine sew a steady seam, handle a needle with moderate dexterity, and follow instructions.
