Floral inspired block patterns reflect the beauty and artistry of hand-painted Iznik tiles. Contains 14 applique block patterns. Colorful fabric selections inspire exotic mix-and-match bouquets. Assembling and sewing the flowers into units makes for delightful travel projects. Combine freezer-paper templates and glue-stick applique to create an exciting new look. Detailed photographs and accurate step-by-step illustrations guide you through Linda's applique process. Easy-to-make large-circle and large-oval backgrounds add interest, and showcase the lovely flower arrangements. Levels of expertise vary from the beginner to the more advanced quiltmaker. The 'Garden of Quilts' gallery of finished blocks and wallhangings, features unusual settings, with delightful vases, arched windows, octagon shapes, and scroll-work to frame the exquisite designs. AUTHORBIO: Linda M. Poole is the complete package - quilt artist, designer, instructor, and author. She has taught quilting and applique techniques throughout the U.S. and internationally. REVIEW: The instructions are thorough and well-illustrated. I particularly like the idea of a "progressive quilt bouquet."

Turkish Delights Is Fantastic,
By Sara C. Schwager "the best copy editor" (upstate NY-- United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Turkish Delights to Applique (Paperback)
This is a great applique book. It has everything, exquisite original designs, and great illustrations and technique photos.Linda's unit construction was new to me and it's a terrific way to handle layers and all those "little bitty pieces." Turkish Delights is the newest addition to my applique book collection and one certainly not to be missed by any appliquer--beginner to advanced.

This review is from: Turkish Delights to Applique (Paperback)
If you love applique, you are going to love this book. It is filled with gorgeous photos of the designs as well as the quilts. The step by step photos are very easy to follow. And the glue stick applique technique is the best.
