Summary
Piece modern home decor and gifts. Are you a sewist who wants to break into quilting? Or a quilter who'd like to turn your blocks into something a little more dimensional? Take a walk on the wild side with eighteen projects that combine the best of both worlds! Create useful gifts and home decor, including bright modern quilts, a pencil case, notebook cover, market bag, and more. Plus, explore new skills with each project! Nicole shares simple instructions for basic patchwork, foundation piecing, English paper piecing, and an easy way to machine appliqué. Each block comes in three sizes, so you can practice new techniques with larger fabric cuts before moving on to smaller pieces.
