The Modern Quilt Workshop: Patterns, Techniques, and Designs from the Funquilts Studio [Paperback] Review

If you think quilting is for fuddy-duddys, get hold of this book and change your mind!This book has by far the best layout and design of any quilt book I've seen (and I own hundreds).

The quilts look complicated but they really aren't - and if you're nervous, start with one of the "easy" ones at the front of the book.Each quilt pattern is given in multiple sizes (Wall through to Queen) with a beautiful photo and clear illustrations and text, as well as clear cutting intructions and a table which makes it easy to see how many pieces to cut.

The authors encourage you to experiment, and show how each quilt could look in other colour choices.There's evenhints on catching any potential design disasters before they happen.

This is my new favourite quilt book and I would recommend it for ANYONE - even advanced quilters will find new and challenging design opportunities sparked by this book.

Product Description:
Think contemporary quilts are beautiful but too difficult for a novice to tackle? Think again. This book makes modern, graphic quilts accessible, both in technical and design terms, to novice and experienced hobby quilters. This is more than just a pattern book. Through detailed step-by-step text and illustrations, even the reader with no prior knowledge of quilt making or design will be able to complete a beautiful and sophisticated quilt. This book is a wonderful primer for new quilters, and a unique, inspirational design and pattern book for quilters with previous experience.
Readers will be treated to both design theory and technical diagrams detailing every stage of the process. An introduction to design topics such as color, scale, fabric selection, and composition accompanies 15 original patterns for contemporary, functional quilts that can be used and machine-washed and dried. These quilts can be made in a variety of sizes from baby quilts to bed quilts. Illustrations will show how you can customize each of the quilts to a variety of color palettes.
Beautiful color photographs make creating the quilt even easier and each pattern includes the fabric requirements and the technical and design skills that will be learned by making the quilt. The book also includes a reference guide for basic techniques used in each of the patterns, including cutting, piecing, aligning seams, thread color selection, and much more.
