Publisher's Synopsis
Modern Japanese quilting uses Eastern and Western techniques to create
quilts of extraordinary beauty. This book is a treasury of more than
125 block designs, characterized by their use of beautiful oriental
textiles, unusual motifs and striking colour combinations.
Choose from patchwork, appliqué, and sashiko blocks, organized into
themed sections based on traditional family crest, parquetry, and
pictorial block designs. All the techniques you'll need are clearly
demonstrated.
Each design features a photograph, clear template, recipe of materials
and instructions for making the block. At-a-glance icons indicate skill
level and techniques used, and you'll find failsafe block combinations
for stylish quilts.
All blocks are the same size, so that they can be mixed and matched,
tessellated for all-over pattern, or combined in spectacular sampler
quilts.
