Becoming a Confident Quilter: Lessons and Techniques Plus 14 Quilt Patterns
There are a lot of things I really like about this book and the first is the incredibly clear layout and easy-to-follow introductory section. Style-wise it looks like Elizabeth has taken inspiration from her blog and she has certainly presented this book with an easy and an accessible approach to her methods. It's a varied book aimed at all levels from beginner to expert. The 14 projects within give the opportunity to try out many skills such as strip piecing, template work, wonky blocks and foundation piecing, as well as teaching you how you can use negative space, large-scale prints and solids, and colour schemes and techniques to make the most of your scrap pile. Like a lot of other bloggerwriters, Elizabeth's quilt patterns are bang up to date and carry a fresh modern feel throughout. I can't wait to try out some of these patterns, including "Less is More", "Rainbow Cakes" and "Wham". --Popular Patchwork, January 2014
