This review is from: Shoreline Quilts: 15 Glorious Get-Away Quilts (Paperback)
This compilation of designs captures that distinct place and season, the sunny summer beaches and shores as seen through the varied styles of dozens of talented quilters. These quilts use a wide variety of different techniques, explained and illustrated in great detail, and there are quilts at all levels, for beginners and veterans alike. My favorite of these is Flavin Glovers A Day at the Beach, a traditional geometric rendering of the beach with its colorful umbrellas done in modified log cabin blocks. Bringing a smile is Ami Simms Bikini Quilt, dubbed by her mother Boobs and Bellybuttons, which is made in a kind of tessellated arrangement of hourglass blocks. And Elsie Vredenburg renders the lighthouses of Fundy in a wonderful profusion of snails trail blocks. This book will inspire you to raid your stash for beachy blues and browns and go dig out your flip-flops.
