Description
This title includes quick easy quilt projects to make you smile - from one of the UK's foremost quilting teachers. The finished projects are ideal for the home, for gifts, or for fundraising events. Choose from a pencil case, needlecase, tablemats, a novelty chicken doorstop, shopping and laundry bags, cushions, a mini wallhanging, and medium-sized quilt. Many can be made from leftover fabric scraps. Template-free quick piecing methods make for speedy production in many of the projects, and where templates are required, these can be printed straight from your PC. Several techniques are introduced to expand a beginner's skills, or broaden the expertise of those with more experience. So, if you are already a committed quilter, take a break from long-term projects to enjoy the satisfaction of completing something quickly. If you are a complete beginner, these projects make a good introduction to some basic patchwork and machine quilting techniques.
