Very Easy Crazy Patchwork is the freeform cousin of traditional patchwork, where you can experiment with truly original designs. This freedom opens up a world of creative possibilities, but poses many questions: what shapes will look good together? How do you select complementary colours, patterns and fabrics? Which stitches and methods should you use? This easy-to-use and fun book takes the guesswork out of patchwork. Step-by-step photographs demonstrate core techniques for hand and machine stitching, from construction to finishing your piece. Projects from a simple scrapbook cover to a Crazy Ted allow you to put your skills into practice and master more challenging techniques such as random quilting and cut-paper piecing. Easy-reference directory sections let you quickly select the best stitches for your project and provide inspiration and information on mixing and matching different fabric weights, weaves, patterns, prints and colours.
