Sewing by Heart is the newest pattern and fabric collection book from 'Tilda' (Tone Finnanger). The fabrics are (as always) beautiful and delicately colorful and so wonderfully coordinated. I absolutely love the designs. The patterns include several groups of coordinating projects: quilts with matching pillows, soft toys or decor items. The quilts are pieced in the traditional fashion but the patterns are new-to-me and original. There are both pieced, modified mola (reverse applique) and traditional applique projects. They are all beautiful and I had trouble picking out what to do first.

There are (by my count) 24 separate projects in 7 broad categories. The 7 quilt patterns alone are worth more than the purchase price. The book also includes chapters covering materials, techniques, scale and full size patterns (there are also printable pattern links), and a handy suppliers list at the back of the book.

There are nice full color photographs and illustrations throughout.

Published 17th November, 2017 through F+W Media and Sew and So, it's 144 pages and available in ebook and softbound formats.

Four stars, beautiful and original quilt patterns and beautifully showcased quality fabrics.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher.
