Description In Love with Squares & Rectangles: 10 Quilt Projects with Batiks & Solids from Blue Underground Studios by Amy Walsh and Janine Burke C&T Publishing | March 2013 | ISBN-10: 1607056437 | PDF | 72 pages | 79.7 mb http://www.amazon.com/In-Love-Squares-Rectangles-Underground/dp/1607056437 Squares and rectangles are not just for beginners! Fabric-lovers—you’ll agree with Amy Walsh and Janine Burke that sewing basic patterns with straight lines is just about the quickest and most satisfying way to get yourself to a finished quilt. Ten quilt projects include yardage and cutting requirements for multiple-sizes. Enjoy stress-free piecing, easy construction, and learn how to alter patterns for completely different looks by resizing the blocks, trying a different setting, or changing the color palette. With fun, no-fuss patterns like these, you’re free to explore all kinds of exciting possibilities with different colors, fabrics, and layouts! Amy and Janine love the simplicity of quilts made only from squares and rectangles. They argue that "when you make a quilt in which the piecing does not give you angst, you are free to explore many possibilities with color, different types of fabric and prints, different block sizes and layouts..." In this book of 10 projects, they encourage readers to experiment with the designs and introduce variations that will make them unique. To assist, they've provided guidelines for choosing colours and fabrics as well as close-up photographs of several blocks from each quilt, made with very different fabrics or layouts from those used in their full-scale sample quilt. Guidelines and yardages are also provided to make each quilt in a variety of sizes, which is a boon to those of us who hate tackling arithmetic. The projects would be perfect for those occasions when you need to whip up a quilt quickly, when you have some fabrics that you're dying to turn into a quilt or when your mood suits stress-free piecing.
