Quilting Possibilities...Freehand Filler Patterns (Golden Threads) [Illustrated] [Paperback] Review

Quilting Possibilities...Freehand Filler Patterns [Paperback]I bought this book because I wanted to get some fresh ideas for freehand, no-marking machine quilting, and this book delivered.I didn't have to wade through pages of info on how to make a quilt top, or how to baste a top to get it ready to quilt.It jumped right into a huge number of drawings of different designs used in standard quilt blocks.You could copy, enlarge, or reduce the designs if you absolutely must mark your quilt top, but they are meant to be done in a freehanded manner.I would consider this a book for those who are already well versed in machine or longarm quilting, as it doesn't give you step 1, step 2, and step 3 directions like some of the beginning machine quilting books do.So, if you are a beginner, wait awhile before you purchase this book.

Product Description:
Collectors of quilting patterns are as intense as fabricaholics - they can never have enough! Here are three dozen traditional pieced blocks with full-sized worksheets that help identify the areas that need quilting. Multiply this by your choice of four different filler categories: flames, feathers, spheres, or swirls. Add additional filler patterns for cornerstones, sashing strips, and background quilting, and you have unlimited possibilities! This is not your regular pattern book to be followed line-for-line. Rather it explores unlimited quilting ideas and possibilities. Learn how to enhance the main motif by combining different background designs - curls, swirls, and other machine quilting staples - with the four basic fillers to complement the project. Whatever type of quilting system you utilize for machine quilting, freehand filler patterns provide the structure needed to hold the quilt together, to flatten the background area, or highlight the main patchwork or applique design.
