The Practical Guide to Patchwork

February 15, 2011

Quilt maker and quilting blogger Hartman introduces the basics of patchwork quilting, including color theory, tools, tips, and techniques, then follows up with a variety of patchwork projects. Each project includes full directions, as well as alternate fabric options and pattern modification ideas. Patchwork is very traditional, and Hartman's color and pattern choices make the quilts look fresh and modern rather than fussy and old-fashioned. Her occasional use of precut fabrics in the patterns makes several of the projects accessible to novices.
