Allison Harris presents 16 patchwork projects to make for children in the 'modern quilt' style of large patches, lots of solid fabrics and straightforward stitching. The book has been designed specifically for busy mums (and grandmothers, aunts and friends) who want to make quilts for young children that will be snuggled with, dragged around, made into forts and loved until they are worn and thin. The projects are beginner friendly - indeed, Allison makes the point that if you're only just starting out on your quiltmaking journey, these quilts are ideal, as "kids don't care if you make a mistake". Almost half of the projects include instructions for making the quilt in crib and twin, as well as 'baby' size. There are also chapters on quiltmaking basic. Each quilt is shown in a flat shot as well as in one or more additional photographs, and coloured diagrams are provided to assist with cutting and assembly.
