Another Bite of Schnibbles: 24 Quilts from 5" or 10" Squares
Carrie Nelson, the designer behind the Miss Rosie's Quilt Company name, is back with a collection of 12 fabulous patchwork quilts (no applique involved). Each one is shown made in two sizes: one primarily from 10in squares of fabric plus a background fabric; the other primarily from 5in squares of fabric plus a background fabric. The large and small quilt made from each pattern are shown in quite different fabrics, which will help those of us who struggle somewhat with colours decide which "look" we prefer. The quilts made in the larger size are 80-90in on each side, making them excellent bed quilts. The smaller quilts are a terrific size for wallhangings for baby quilts, at about 32in per side. If you don't buy pre-cut fabrics, there's no need to use the 10in or 5in squares that Carrie has--the designs would also look fabulous made in bits and pieces from your stash. Carrie has also included some nifty hints and tricks to streamline cutting and assembly without sacrificing accuracy. --Australian HomespunMagazineCarrie Nelson of Miss Rosie's Quilt Company is back with a follow-up toSchnibbles Times Two.In her new book, you'll find twelve pairs of quilts made with precut five- and ten-inch squares. What can be easier than using fabric that has already been cut for you and stacks of squares that coordinate? You'll want to make lots of these quilts. --Fons & Porter's Scrap QuiltsMagazine
