Fancy Tiger Crafts: Constellations by Amber Platzer Corcoran
Let the night sky be your inspiration with this bound collection of the popular Constellation patterns from Fancy Tiger Crafts. This collection includes all twelve quilt blocks plus an exclusive Orion quilt block pattern, eight projects that feature anywhere from a single block up to 12 blocks. Embellishing these is easy with a handy astrological quilting diagram for each zodiac sign included too. Each sign of the zodiac is clearly illustrated in and easy patchwork pattern that results in a 20'' square block. Sew a queen-size quilt for your little (or big) dreamer using all 12 blocks, or make it personal by using only a handful of blocks unique to your family to create a mix-and-match quilt in multiple sizes. Highlight a single block to make one of the other six smaller projects like a trendy hoshi jacket, a charming table runner or a conversation-starting tea towel with adorable pom-pom fringe. Whichever projects you choose, these constellations are designed to spark the imagination.Subtitled '12 Pieced Astrological Blocks, 8 Personalised Sewing Projects', this book includes blocks for each of the astrological signsThese modern blocks include clean lines. For each one, you will see a large colour image, cutting and assembling instructions with a clear line diagram presented over a two-page spread. The authors have included typical characteristics of each sign. The book also includes a block for Orion, one of the most famous constellations. I do like the blocks, but they all look very similar, the only difference is in the scattering of the yellow blocks. In Part Two, you will discover eight ways to use the blocks from a large quilt, another quilt in various sizes, a table runner, jacket, tea towel, cushion, tarot reading cloth and tote. In Part Three, find out how to use the blocks and star designs in any project you wish. This book also includes simple embroidery stitches and how to make a tassel. The book has a full-sized, pull-out pattern for the jacket. The book provides ample inspiration to make your own individual blocks and personalise the contents by adapting the blocks, using different quilting stitches to enhance the blocks and so on.
