Drafting and Design Simplified (Quilting Library) [Hardcover] Review

Drafting and Design Simplified [Hardcover]I'm new to quilting, but am already growing restless with just creating quilts with established block patterns. I read about this book in one of the quilting magazines I get (it was mentioned in an article) and while it doesn't seem to be available as a "new" book directly from Amazon, I did find several used book sellars that had copies. I haven't been able to clear my head of all the ideas that I have now! Don't let the title intimadate you! There is no complicated math involved in altering block designs to make them "you". Some graph paper and a ruler and your imagination and you're off and running. You'll be amazed at how different you can make an old block design look with just moving a few lines. Be adventurous! Get this book and have some fun!
