To Mix & Match
There are over 150 patchwork, appliqué, and sashiko
designs.

Eastern and Western techniques to create quilts of extraordinary
beauty. This book is a treasury of more than 125 block designs,
characterized by their use of oriental textiles, unusual motifs,
and striking color combinations

blocks, organized into themed sections based on geometric, pictorial,
and family crest designs. All the techniques you will need are
clearly demonstrated.
· Each design features a photograph, clear instructional
diagram or template, fabric palette and cutting guide, and instructions
for making the block. At-a-glance icons indicate skill level
and techniques used.
· All of the blocks can be mixed and matched, and you
will find examples of failsafe block combinations for stylish
quilts, from tessellated all-over patterns to spectacular sampler
quilts.
