Back Cover Information

Anyone can create Quilt Art!

Refer to over 40 color photographs that walk you step-by-step through the process of coloring with crayons and inks to achieve beautiful quilts. Softly layer color over color using the large assortment of delightful crayons available until you achieve the look you desire, adding inks for more intensity and depth.

Many ideas are included for using the design provided in this book in a traditional quilting format or as wall hangings.

Templates are shaded to assist you in deciding where to place your colors, highlights and shadows. Experiment in isolating elements of your main design and using them to make borders, sashing, cornerstones, valances or any color and cloth application you can imagine.

Back Cover Information

Use crayons (any kind) and fabric inks to enhance these beautiful pieced, traditional quilts or if you prefer, applique.

Don't think that you are an "Artist"?

Not to worry...simply TRACE the images provided to your fabrics and follow the worksheets for coloring, shading and highlighting for exquisite results.

Clear detailed instructions are provided for piecing these bed and lap size quilts: Included is a method with step by step pictures to show how to do simplified insets. You CAN make flat blocks every time with a minimum of fuss!

Crayons and fabric inks are the perfect medium to replace applique as it provides a soft, permanent and durable image. The quilter has the added option of using Trapunto or to embellish as desired without going through multiple layers of fabric or stitching through fusible web.

A Point of Light QuiltSun's Flower

Back Cover Information

I love the look of curved piecing in quilts, but was a little terrorized about doing it. That is, I was until I woke up at 3 AM with this new and wonderful method. Even people that were absolutely certain that they could not sew curves tried this and were elated with how successful they were from the beginning. Go ahead, give it a try!

Benefits of Trish's new method of Curved Piecing:

  • Practically eliminates the need to rip and re-sew seams
  • No more worries about 1/4" seam allowances
  • You no longer need to mark registration points
  • Preview fabrics and if you don't like them, change them before you sew
  • Never clip into the body of the quilt again when clipping curves
  • No special feet are required for you machine
  • Cut fabric anywhere you like without concern over grain lines
  • Quilt Top is stabilized and ready for threadwork, if desired, before quilting
