Supersize 'Em!: 22 Quilts from Oversized Blocks (That Patchwork Place)
There are a number of reasons why you might want to make a quilt using extra-large blocks. Perhaps you want to showcase a divine, large-scale print fabric so you need blocks with large patches. Or maybe you want to create a quilt in a hurry--big patches certainly go together to make a quilt much more quickly.Debby Kratovil has been making quilts for decades, and she knows her stuff. Her instructions are detailed and easy to follow, and there are a lot of colored diagrams to assist. She's generously assembled a collection of 22 projects in this book--one is shown in close-up on the front cover, and another six are showcased on the back cover. There's bound to be something in the selection that you'll like.The techniques used include traditional piecing, paper (foundation) piecing and easy applique. Although most of the projects are full bed-sized quilts, there are some that are smaller, making them suitable for babies and toddlers, as well as some table runners for when you want to make a hostess gift in a hurry. --Megan Fisher, Australian Homespun, completecraft.com
