In this book, Jean shows the new quiltmaker how to make a variety of exciting quilts and small projects, using a single traditional design, a small number of fabrics, and simple assembly techniques. She applies the design to 5 different projects, in a broad range of styles and moods, in each book. Every step is profusely illustrated and cleverly marked with pictorial icons for easy reference. With complete basic instructions for selecting colors and fabrics, cutting, piecing, and finishing the quilts, this book is extremely quilter-friendly, an at-home teach-yourself course. Includes everything to complete a project from start to finish: materials lists, yardage charts, cutting and assembly instructions, schematic drawings, full-size patterns, finishing directions, and color photos of all of the projects.
