Today's quilt's take on the patina of age in this elegant book on floral bouquet quilts. Classic patchwork patterns done in gorgeous florals and historical prints such as toiles, set the stage for beautiful quilts. Here, the author, herself an avid quilter and professional fabric designer, reaches into her heart and personal history to create a bouquet of floral quilts. The themes and inspiration for these floral beauties, as written in the book, reveal a quilter with an interesting personal and professional past, and gives her unique perspective on creating traditional quilts that will themselves be timeless. When you see these beautiful quilts you'll want to make them all - and you can. The designs are simple, the patterns traditional,and the fabrics used in the quilts featured in the book are readily available for purchase. The book instructs in clear and concise sections. Novice and expert quilters alike can successfully sew these quilts as well as be inspired to create beautiful floral bouquet quilts of their own. Go ahead...sew!!
