A Field Guide - Quilts with an Angle by Sheila Christensen

A Field Guide - Quilts with an Angle by Sheila Christensen

Sew 15 quilts from triangles, hexagons, trapezoids, jewels, diamonds, parallelograms, and strip-pieced blocks.

Get started with tools, fabrics and basicsThis book teaches angles - triangles, trapezoid, diamond, parallelogram and jewel, plus strip-pieced quilts and a primer 'design your own blocks'. Each 60° shape section has great quilt patterns. The 60° shape is thoroughly explored through techniques and possibilities. Sheila has the same design philosophy as myself: one thing leads to another. Standard sizes make strips easy to rotary cut and piece. The colour section is basic with one glaring error, blue does not face yellow on the colour wheel. Basic quilting techniques include cutting, seam sewing, chain piecing. This book comes into its own when we get to the lessons. Great grids, instructions and quick reference charts, super blocks and fantastic quilts. Marks out of 10 - A plus for the quilt designs; as a designer myself I would still love to sit down and make most of these. Highly recommended as a thorough grounding in 60° shape, ease of use, inspiration for all levels and 15 wonderful quilt designs.
