Designing Patchwork on Your Computer by Carol Phillipson
This book and CD offer step-by-step instruction on designing beautiful patchwork blocks and quilts using your computer. The instructions use a basic graphics package, Paint, but the principles can easily be applied to other drawing and graphics programs. The instructions cover the use of both PCs and macs, and the book assumes that the reader will have little or no experience of designing on computers. The book shows how to design a wide range of patchwork blocks and how to build the blocks into customised quilts. There is also guidance on colour selection and customisation, sashing and borders. The CD contains 100 ready-made templates, grids and patchwork patterns. All in all, this is a great tool for anyone contemplating making quilt blocks and finished quilts. Better yet, it is suitable for both the beginner and the more experienced quilt maker.
'The main advantage (beyond the sheer versatility of designing something so exact and geometrical on the computer) is that the graphics package has the facility for you to 'see' the completed quilt before you actually make it.. a whole lot more convenient than going back to the drawing board!' Craftsman Magazine (March 2008)
