Quilt Retro: 11 Designs to Make Your Own [Paperback]

Jenifer Dick (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 6, 2011

Inspired by everything from the view out her kitchen window to old quilt patterns to childhood memories, Jenifer Dick takes you on a journey of inspiration and design to create 11 original quilts and projects. She guides you through the quilt design process - from inspiration to completion - encouraging you to make your own choices every step of the way.

These contemporary, often quirky, designs evoke nostalgia, '70s vintage fabrics and graphics as well as organic designs. They're easy to make with today's popular solids and big prints.

Complete instructions are included, along with inspiration so you can put your own spin on each design. Jenifer also offers her tips for invisible machine applique.
