Back Cover Information

Inside every quilter is a kid yearning to play!

Discover creative energies when you pick up fabrics and sew them together, deviating from the "rulers"with Dianne's fun approach.
11 lively instructions are provided for making a mock-up of each of the projects. Enjoy the freedom of playing your own version of the quilt games such as Tic-Tac-Toe, Pin the Tail on the Donkey, and Hopscotch.
Elements of design- proportion and scale, balance, rhythm, and focus- will become second nature as conventional boundaries are removed.
Let Dianne's Quiltmaking Games empower you to trust your intuition and embrace spontaneity.
