Sobre este producto

This book is rich with streamlined quilt-piecing methods, explained in generalities and complemented with a plethora of explicit projects, including for four-patch, nine-patch, more general checkerboards, courthouse steps, log cabin, trip around the world (straight and on point), bargello, rows of half-square and other triangles, hourglass blocks, flights of flying geese, snowballs, lone star, grandmother's pride, storm at sea. Strip piecing and Seminole piecing play a major role, and they are presented with several streamlining nuances, including enhanced strip piecing, shorten-and-widen, multi-tape, checkerboarding, piling-on, cut-and-sew, cut-and-insert, tube piecing. The methods in the first few chapters cover rectangular patterns only, to make it easier to follow the methods, and gradually more and more angles and intricacies are introduced. The focus of the last three chapters is on tube piecing, which is the most streamlined way of making many patterns, including all-over parallelograms, rows of parallelograms and triangles, and many types of blocks. The advantage of tubes over rows in quilt piecing is that tubes allow for better mixing of fabrics and patterns, they minimize corner discards, and they treat every piece the same with no piece designated an end or start, resulting in more consistency. All tubes in the book are sized for comfortable sewing, cutting and pressing. Tubes also allow iterated large constructions that are then cut into intricately pieced rows or further tubes, in each iteration achieving more intricacy. In this way the quilts can be made faster and also more accurately than if we first cut out the small pieces and then sewed them back together, plus, the beautiful intermediate large constructions can be considered finished quilt tops as well. For best use of fabric and effort some projects produce extra companion blocks and quilts, with fewer seams total than it would take for making just the main project with traditional methods. What is not to love about more quilts in less time? The last chapter is about making "p by q" and "split p by q" blocks, which include (single, double, triple...) hourglass blocks, flying geese, pairs of triangles such as squares of half-square triangles, square-in-square blocks, parallelogram-in-parallelogram blocks, grandmother's pride, nine-patch variations... All these traditional and many other blocks consist of grids of parallelograms and triangles, and the chapter is about making them with tube piecing faster and more accurately. The twenty-page appendix covers much streamlining history, as gleaned from written sources, and is a great resource for alternative ways of making many patterns.
