Quilt Fiesta!: Surprising Designs from Mexican Tiles
Quilt Fiesta!: Surprising Designs from Mexican Tilespacks in a lovely collection of quilts inspired by Mexican folk art. Ten decorative projects for quilts, placemats, and more offer mix and match blocks and tips on creating a fusible applique quilt. A photo of the original tile that inspired each design is included. Quilting and needlework libraries will find this a fine, unique addition. --Midwest Book ReviewCheryl has taken the inspiration she found while on vacation in Mexico and made beautiful quilts! The results are appealing and fun. Cheryl shares photographs from her travels and a bit of history about Puebla, where the most desirable tiles are made. Cheryl then continues to share her tried and true methods for applique and paper piecing, and reminds us all that perfection is over-rated!That sounds familiar. I'm so glad that we are of the same mindset, Cheryl!There are 10 fabulous quilt projects based on the tiles shown on the cover. My favorite part of the projects is that the applique is broken down into manageable pieces, often finished on the individual block before assembling the quilt top. And the secondary designs made with each block is really fun!With each of the projects Cheryl also offers alternate color or layout options, inspiring you to be creative with the designs.
