Classic to Contemporary String Quilts

Techniques, Inspiration, and 16 Projects for Strip Quilting

Mary M Hogan

Description

From wall hangings to full-size bed quilts, these fun stash-busting projects take string quilts in a new direction. The author uses strips and scraps of fabric to reimagine traditional and beloved quilt blocks as string blocks. Strings are strips and scraps of fabric that are usually too small to be useful for most projects, but they're just right for the fun designs in this complete step-by-step guide.

The book takes you through every step of the string quilting process with helpful tips and suggestions. The front of the book is packed with string quilt techniques followed by 16 quilt projects with clear instructions and diagrams. The author reimagines many traditional and beloved quilt blocks, like the Card Trick or Churn Dash, as string blocks. Using strings, each classic quilt is unique, and updated for the 21st century with bold colours and contemporary settings.
