Publisher's Synopsis

Welsh quilts, with their characteristic fabric choice, strikingly simple patchwork designs and decorative quilting patterns, have a rich tradition that some believe may have inspired the Amish when they first settled near Welsh communities in Pensylvania.

This book explores the fascinating history of Welsh quilting with a stunning gallery of photographs of Wales' quilt treasures.It presents techniques, which range from traditional hand piecing and hand quilting methods to modern rotary cutting and machine quilting techniques.

In-depth information is given on selecting the right fabrics and colours, and basic equipment needed to create these quilts
A pattern library of traditional Welsh quilting templates shows how the patterns were originally drafted from cups and saucers and other everyday household items.
