Inside Cover Information

"Yes, Ill make you a quilt because I love you and yes, you can sit on the quilt!!!!"

For my boys whose vans never seem to have a working heater, for my daughter who is currently supporting the nail polish industry while sitting cross-legged on the bed with her friends, and for my friends who drink cocoa in bed - yes, its okay if you sit on my quilt.

Why? Because I've learned secrets about cutting and piecing that make it possible to make quilts in a fraction of the time you would expect without sacrificing design. In fact, when you finish this book I believe you will have so many exciting design and technique ideas that nothing will keep you from making the quilts.

All of The Indispensable Patchwork Patterns in this workbook are made up entirely of squares, right triangles and strips. Included are secrets about patchwork squares that no ever tells you, secret ways to: look at them, use them, mark them, cut them, sew them, and set them.

One secret is that several have been redrafted and interpreted in squares and triangles, eliminating more difficult shapes so that our secret techniques can be employed. This technique of designing quilts will especially appeal to you if, like me, you can remember third grade. Do you remember having a little resentment for the girl who could draw a horse? A perfect horse. Not just in art class, but on her notebook cover and scratch pads. Well, I remember and I also remember how excited I was when they handed out the graph paper and I started coloring razzle-dazzle geometric designs!

As you progress through this book, you'll be introduced to the joys of the graph paper. This book is intended for you to actually work in and add your own work pages. And I don't hold grudges. You're welcome to read on, even if you can draw horses.
