Modern Roots by Bill Volckening

Modern Roots by Bill Volckening

Discover the antique roots of modern quilting as you take a peek inside Bill Volckenings stunning quilt collection (from the 1840s to 1970s). Patterned for the first time with full instructions, 12 antique and vintage projects invite you to remake them in your own style with modern techniques, rotary cutting tools, and templates.

Old quilt designs have been brought right up-to-date to create modern treasuresBill is a quilt collector and he has created 12 new patterns inspired by quilts from the 1840s to the 1970s. I just love that front cover design, but none of them will disappoint. You'll see the original quilts and Bill's contemporary design. The quilts also have a smaller pattern as an alternative. Clear photos and instructions throughout. Great designs, great colours and I love the fact that these quilts have a history that has been updated to become modern heirlooms of their own. Modern techniques are used throughout. This book includes templates, tips and an introduction giving you the history of each quilt. This is a wonderful book that I am glad to recommend. It's a treasure trove of treasures.
