Baltimore Blocks for Beginners: A Step-by-Step Guide
Baltimore Blocks for Beginners: A Step-by-Step Guide, by Mimi Dietrich, published by Martingale/That Patchwork Place is an excellent book for anyone interested in learning to appliqu$eacute;, create Baltimore style blocks, as well as improve their appliqu$eacute; skills.--SewCalGalMimi Dietrich of Baltimore, Maryland, is a nationally known teacher and author of many best-selling books and, if like me, you stand gazing in awe at the latest Baltimore quilt to be displayed at the Governor Shows, then perhaps it is time to read the book! The book offers you the chance to learn techniques such as choosing fabrics, preparing appliqué pieces, basting and hand appliqué methods. Combine this with ideas presented on additional fabric choices, color and design ideas in the inspirational gallery and maybe, well just maybe, we can try our hand at a small Baltimore piece?--Fabrications Quilting For You, December 2012/January 2013
