Patchwork-Quilting ist längst eine eigene künstlerische Form. Der steigenden Zahl von Quilt-Anhängern bietet dieser Vorlagenkatalog 5500 Anregungen, die in unzähligen Kombinationen kopiert, angepasst und zusammengestellt werden können. Manche der Entwürfe sind Klassiker und wurden von Museumquilts kopiert. Andere Muster wurden von Freundin zu Freundin weitergegeben oder jahrzehntelang in der Familie bewahrt, bevor sie veröffentlicht wurden.
A must-have for every the ultimate pattern resource, with an astounding 5,500 blocksWith 5,500 blocks to copy, adapt, and combine in countless ways, no quilter will ever have to run out of patterns anymore. Some designs are classics and taken from museum collections, handed from friend to friend, or kept in a family for many years. Each pattern is drawn on a grid showing the number of squares to the block which makes it easy to mix-and-match, because they all draft to the same size. The dazzling choices include a Premium Star, Double Pyramid, Strips and Squares, Farmer's Puzzle, Sunburst, Beggar's Blocks, and countless more. They're arranged by type--including 4-, 5-, and 9-patch patterns; circles and curves; octagons; diamonds; and 8-point stars--and all indexed alphabetically by name. There's even information on each block's source. As a special bonus Maggie Malone has included a section of Alphabet Patch Patterns to use for personalizing every block. No quilter can do without this book.
