Opis

Modern Japanese quilting uses Eastern and Western techniques to create quilts of extraordinary beauty. This book is a treasury of more than 125 block designs, characterised by their use of beautiful oriental textiles, unusual motifs and striking colour combinations. Choose from patchwork, applique and sashiko blocks, organised into themed sections based on traditional family crest, parquetry and pictorial block designs. All the techniques you need are clearly demonstrated. Each design features a photograph, clear template, recipe of materials and instructions for making the block. Evaluate skill level and techniques used with at-a-glance icons and find failsafe block combinations for stylish quilts. All blocks are the same size, so that they can be mixed and matched, tessellated for all-over pattern, or combined in spectacular sampler quilts.
