In Making a Sampler Quilt, Lynne Edwards, an internationally renowned quilting expert, shows step by step how to use a variety of hand and simple machine techniques to create 20 beautiful patchwork blocks. Here you'll find such classic blocks as Spider's Web, Drunkard's Path, Trip Around the World, and Grandmother's Fan. A large color photograph reveals in detail how each block is pieced. In addition, you'll see each block in the context of a full-size quilt, offering you suggestions for choosing colors and patterned fabrics. Author Lynne Edwards provides all the information you need to turn the blocks into a quilt, including backing and quilting the layers together, making borders, and binding the final edges - plus advice on cleaning and care. In addition to making quilts, you'll learn other exciting ways to use the blocks - to create a pillow, a cot quilt, or a lap quilt that turns into a pillow. Whether you make one block or many, one quilt or several, Making a Sampler Quilt offers expert advice every step of the way.
