Classic quilts provides patterns and step-by-step instructions for creating 13 sensational quilts. Divided into three sections, there are classic pieced quilts, classic applique designs and a final section combining the two methods.
Pieced quilts have been a favoured tradition among quiltmakers for centuries. The patterns showcased here are popular favourites. Each quilt is classic in its simplicity and design, with easy-to-use illustrations and instructions. Applique quilts, the epitome of sewn handwork, are presented with full directions for both technique and completion. The best of both traditions join together to complete the volume.
Offered in the final third of the book are innovative combination quilts which feature both applique and piecing techniques, so that the quiltmaker can apply the techniques developed in the first two-thirds of the book to create stunning quilts displaying a range of skills.
