Shape by Shape, Collection 2

August 1, 2016

In her latest book, free-motion quilting master Walters presents additional designs for free-motion quilting geometric shapes, including squares, circles, hexagons, and diamonds. As with her first Shape by Shape book, the patterns are organized by the shape of the patchwork, with additional styles for backgrounds and borders. Step-by-step instructions and diagrams demonstrate the quilting path for each of the designs, and Walters offers an array of suggested variations, including ideas for adapting the designs to fit within a different shape. VERDICT Walters is a rock star of the free-motion quilting world, and her instructions take complex-looking quilting designs and create manageable steps that can be completed on both longarm and home sewing machines. Quilters will be inspired.
