String Quilts Author: Carolyn Forster ISBN: 9781800920828 Ascot Lane Code: AL 20828 Many quilters are rediscovering a range of traditional patchwork and quilting techniques that, at their heart, are based on recycling and reusing materials. A style of patchwork that is true to this ethos, and which has been around for centuries, is string patchwork with its use of sewn fabric strips. Due to the scrap nature of string quilts, they are good for using a wide range and eclectic mix of fabrics that, otherwise would have gathered dust in the corner of a room. Carolyn Forster will show you how to transform old clothes and bedding, off-cuts and once-loved furnishing fabrics into 10 beautiful string patchwork quilts; create your favourite designs with an array of scraps featuring traditional blocks; ensure nothing goes to waste to make with the leftovers from your quiltmaking. |
