Miniature Quilts with Vintage Style
Charming little quilts with a period look are easy to sew with just a little time, some vintage or reproduction scraps and the 19 patterns in this book. Step-by-step instructions and clear diagrams ensure sewing success. The hardest thing about using the book is deciding which mini to make first! The classic patterns include Sunbonnet Sue, Basket, Butterfly, Fan, Dresden Plate, Log Cabin, Scotty Dog and Tumbler designs. There's even a colorful 30s-style signature quilt to make as a treasured keepsake. Of special note is the variety of border treatments used in the quilts, including scalloped, appliqued and pieced "piano-key" styles. A scrappy Bear's Paw has edges finished with prairie points for a '30s look. At less than 70 cents each, the patterns in this collection make the book a real bargain. Making minis with an antique look is fun, and this book is a delight to own.
