Applique involves placing one layer of fabric over another and stitching it in place. Because the sewn layer can be virtually any shape, applique allows for far more visual possibilities than piecing, but traditional methods can be time-consuming. This book combines popular timesaving materials and methods such as fusible web, water-soluble fabric stabilizer, and machine stitching with fresh, simple techniques to create stunning projects such as multi-textured quilt blocks and pillows. Twenty-five projects explore yarn coiling, felt layering, transparent collage, chenille applique, and designs inspired by traditional paper-cutting techniques from around the world. Offering crafters more challenges are additional projects that combine all the above techniques into 10 very unique designs. The hundred plus beautiful colour illustrations and photographs clearly illuminate these projects for both new and experienced quilters and crafters.
