Simple quilts for the modern home

by Stephanie Soebbing

Bright, fun, and simple-to-stitch quilts for beginning sewers and everyone who loves modern style. Twelve projects range from lap to king-sized quilts. At last, a book that teaches beginner quilters simple techniques to create successful quilts that reflect today's tastes for bold colours and prints, high contrast, and expansive use of negative space. Contemporary style in quilts is inspired by modern design, which uses colour, composition, and contrast to create a bold look. Simple Quilts for the Modern Home provides all the how-to a beginner needs to know to cut, piece, and finish each quilt. Each project is an opportunity to utilize a new skill, like strip piecing, using fusible appliqué, and cutting at a 45-degree angle. The results are fresh, bold, and contemporary quilts that will appeal to quiltmakers of all skill levels
