Tessellation Quilts
|
Back Cover InformationA tessellation is made up of identical units that interlock with one another, creating a sequence of positive and negative shapes that could go on into infinity. For quilt designers, tessellating patterns are an endless source of delight, as they are simple to piece but give the impression of great complexity.
About the AuthorChristine Porter has been a quilter for 15 years. She is a highly respected and experienced teacher who not only lectures and judges throughout Britain and the United States but who has also won awards for her quilts in both countries. Her special field of interest is translating floor-tile designs into quilts, a subject she covered extensively in her first book for David & Charles, Quilt Designs from Decorative Floor Tiles and she particularly enjoys creating a contemporary look through her use of color and fabric style. Until recently, Christine was for many years co-editor of Britain's leading patchwork magazines, Patchwork & Quilting. In addition Christine is director of her own company, Cabot Quilting Conferences, which brings top international quilters to Britain to teach in luxury hotels, to share their skills with other quilters from around the world. Christine has appeared on America's HGTVs series 'Simply Quilts' hosted by Alex Anderson and has been a Fabric Design Consultant for the Woodrow Studios in the UK.. Christine lives in Bristol, UK, with her husband Neil and black labrador, Rosie.
