Publisher's Note
A guide to scrap quilting explains how to create pieced and applique patterns, free-hand cut shapes for a folk art look, and select the right fabrics

Old quilts give today's inspiration for color, composition, crafters and fabric usage, as shown in this beautiful and practical instruction book. Both antique and new creations are included to illustrate many pattern possibilities for folk-art scrap quilts, pieced quilts, and pieced and appliqued quilts. The interaction of fabrics within a quilt is carefully explained. The book also shows how to cut shapes freehand to simulate folk art, how to choose just the right blocks for building patterns, and other techniques.
